The last edition of the Hive Power Up Month challenge is now over. Once again, this challenge has proven how difficult it is to stay committed for a whole month, even with rules as simple as:

• do a power-up of at least 1 HIVE or a 100% Hive Power post every day of the month
• do not powerdown

Some stats about the challenge

then a few months, we see a renewed interest in participating in Power Up Month. Each month, many wish to take part in the challenge but few are those who hold out until the end. This is what gives all the value to the badge they receive and justifies the delegation of Hive Power that we give them.

The November edition ended with 50 winners. Congratulations to all of them.

Let's compare the number of winners month by month.

We were close to beating the participation record at the start of the year, but these results are very promising. We can't wait to see how we end the year with the latest edition starting today.

And now, the winners list

Among the 50 participants to have held on without failing, we have 24 users who chose the publication with a 100% HP payout option, and 26 users who preferred the power-up way.

They will soon receive their "Power Up Month" badge:

Hive Power delegations coming!

As announced in our announcement post, all the winners of the PUM challenge will receive a 3 weeks Hive Power delegation from us!

The amount of HP delegated will be calculated according to the following criteria:

• How many successful Power Up Months you have achieved throughout the year.
• The total amount you powered up during the PUM.
• How many PUDs in a row have you participated in
• The levels of your power-ups on PUD (ex: you made two "level 3" and three "level 5" power-ups).
• The number of people you helped to power-up and the amount involved.

The higher all the above-mentioned values, the higher the delegation you will receive.

We still need to do some math to figure out what everyone will get but don't worry, we'll report the results soon.

Everyone who participates in Power Up Day today is already registered for this latest Power Up Month edition of the year!

Happy Power Up Month!
