Welcome to part 1 of a series featuring 7 speeches by our fellow Hive members at the BuzzParty 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. Today, we have @detlev, who will be sharing insights about #beersaturday and discussing Hive in general.
We're uploading the speeches in a different order than they were delivered at the event, as I (@tibfox) am editing them in a completely random sequence. Please note that many of the Q&A segments had to be removed due to a missing microphone for the audience, resulting in poor sound quality for those parts.

If you want to read the transcription then here you go:
Hello everybody!
Oh, detlev is out!
I like to start this with
something very special because...
Tibox, could you please come here?
Come on!
This gentleman made something happen in a
lot of work he spent in there
and I think this
needs a special applause.
Buddy!
I know how much work this is, so a big
thank you from my side.
And as you look to your watch,
I said, well, until next
food we don't have much time.
I tried to squeeze my talk a little bit
together to be on time
on some food and so on
because I was building here something
where I like to educate a few more people
who are not yet on hive.
So let's have a double check.
Who is not yet on hive here?
Please raise your hand.
This is exactly why we
could speed up a little bit
because I have some information in here
which might be known from each of you.
But even if they are not known, they will
be later on in my post.
You can download the PDF and play with it
and use it for your
own talks or whatever.
There might be some people
here who don't know Detlev at all.
I was starting with the other name of the
blockchain many years ago
and was very happy that
Hive started in that way.
Hive started.
I was sitting in that
moment in front of my PC
and will never forget that situation
where someone stopped the
stealing of our community
into something else.
So that was a great moment.
I will talk a few about the
things I do and why I do it
because I like to give you the idea to do
similar things for your own,
for the topics you love,
for other stuff you love.
And I will be happy to
discuss this later on today with you
because we like to save some time here.
I build stuff on hive.
You know, maybe the beer
token, you can tip beer to others.
This is a project of mine and the beer
Saturday is something I
will explain a little bit.
So, built on hive is the big thing
because, you know, it's
decentral, it's yours.
Nobody can really take it away.
You need some downloads if
you do some travel stuff.
So, the other day I had
a shower some years ago
and I had one yesterday as well.
And one in the morning, but
this is a different story.
So, this shower was unique because I was
standing under the shower
and we're thinking what can I
do on that blockchain stuff?
What is not that year there and where
people like to engage with
and what might be a little bit different?
And I ended up with a topic of beer
because the third most
drunken liquid on earth,
you have beer without alcohol for Tibfox
you have beer with other
tastes, you have beer in any...
So, I said, well, might be a topic where
enough people like to say something
and I moved this to hive
and this was around 355 weeks ago.
It means since 300...
Thank you.
And you were asking what you have to do
to maintain something on
hive with a little bit of time.
The most important thing
I learned is do it, do it.
If it looks horrible, still
do it and keep on doing it.
So, after a while, it gets bigger from...
Yeah, from themselves and as everything
is developing over the time,
there might be new opportunities where
you don't know from whenever
you started the whole baby.
And this happened to me.
As I started, there was
nothing like a community.
There was nothing like a
own token you can create.
So, I started with the whole thing and
then there was an
ability to create a token.
If I don't create a beer
token, somebody else might do.
It was easy.
Okay, then we had community.
So, we started with a beer community.
We are now with two and a half thousand
people or something like this
who are doing this since a while and this
brings people together.
And even this evening, I like to have a
picture from every one of you
with this sign posting it on the
blockchain because over the time,
while doing it, I got a
lot of feedback from people.
You are stupid. You're doing this since
how many weeks? Years.
And people understand that doing it all
the time will help to
get more visibility.
And I don't do it for me
because the idea here was
if I have the motivation to tell people
they should write about beer
with some simple rules and
you said quality content,
I don't want to have the drunken faces in
front of a bottle of beer.
This is no quality content, at
least for most of the people.
But having simple rules that you have at
least three pictures or more
or have at least 200 words or more
to get a reward extra from the
community voting on your post
or from the sponsors you get to your
community voting on that post
because you had 20
pictures and a long story
and then you get something extra because
you spent your time on it.
This is something where the whole thing
starts getting more and more.
And this is what we did
and it worked in that way.
So some other information where I like to
go a little bit quick through it
is what is Hive? What is
Web3? You can read it later on.
I made it quite simple.
And the most important thing, we are fast
in what we are doing.
We have a short block time.
And I lately did a report
for a different other project
where we worked as consultants to see
what other blockchains are around
in what quality and how is our little not
known blockchain in all these things.
So if you look into all these projects
with Solana, with other things and so on,
Hive seems to be small.
But whenever you look behind the
technology we are
having and compare this,
we are a leader.
So the damn thing we have to do is get
this baby more known.
So spread the word to other
people of what we are having.
Your case with Monero is a good example.
This has a huge audience because it's not
trackable and blah, blah, blah.
You all know.
And doing something like this with Hive,
with bringing it to
schools and other things,
is something we should
focus on the next few years.
And there are projects where I try to be
involved, where I try to help.
And there are things we like to do with
people who are gaming
with simulations of cars.
A fucking huge industry behind it where
millions of people are in.
So the next thing is I like to get your
feedback this evening, the next weeks,
on if this is interesting, how could we
build a community around this,
which people do we have to get, which
kids or sons or daughters or whatever you
know who are driving something,
and join them together and we
create a movement out of it.
So this is something we like to use the
FAF and free blockchain,
because there is no transaction cost.
I made a huge spreadsheet comparing top
20, top 30 blockchains.
There are not many like
all the stuff we have.
And I started a little
calculation a while ago.
We are talking about energy consumption.
And you know the big ones,
eating energy quite a lot.
The medium ones,
eating energy quite a lot.
So we did some calculation where I
involved some
witnesses, some other people,
and figured out that Hive, with the nodes
and all the stuff we have,
is not eating as much energy.
And we are still able to run
huge games like Splinterlands,
huge other products like 3Speak and so
on, with that little power.
And this is a very good argument talking
to other people and moving them to Hive.
If I'm not so lazy, I would already
create a huge report about this,
but it's a bit more work
to have it sophisticated.
So it will come sooner or later when I or
somebody else find this.
I have a question about that.
Why is that? Is it because it's not as...
Hasn't it got as many
users or why is it not?
No, because it's an energy...
It's an energy...
Solar power or what?
Bitcoin is working on proof of stake.
It needs a lot of power
to generate the proof.
And Ethereum switched to proof of work.
And Ethereum switched to proof of stake.
Low on the power heavily.
We are doing this already
since a while and having less.
So, two questions.
So, what I always would like to know is
what are the criterion components
to calculate this energy usage?
Could you just...
If I...
Next question.
Could you just share it?
Feel free to contact me.
Because I had to write a paper on that.
No, I was really old.
I was researching all these
things and it was very quick.
Very slow.
No, because they don't show.
Yeah.
And every blockchain gets
to be so green at the moment.
And I was just wondering...
It sounds nice.
So, one of the rules after which are...
Yeah, it's not even
Bitcoin claims they are green.
Yeah.
Because they are
driving the renewable energy.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's nice, yeah.
That's great.
It was in the old.
That's why I'm...
But in the end, the
stake book mind is involved
why at high level, it's not what it is.
I created a calculation behind it.
It's not out because I really like to
validate it twice or three times
to be going out to public.
But I'm happy to share it with you.
We have a specific amount of nodes, of
hosts, of businesses
and so on.
And if you calculate this together, you
come to a value less than this.
I really enjoy the discussion on it.
And I would like to invite you into a
call online with some more time
where we could go deeper, where we could
go into that numbers
and where you can tell me
it's wrong calculations there
or we have to add this to be...
And this is a topic where I don't have
all information together
but quite a good amount where we then can
condense this to maybe better numbers
which we then could use to put into PR
and other activities
to get more attraction
to our little blockchain
and gain people in consulting projects
pointing this and even better.
I made a research by some AI tools
and the AI tools didn't found the
information about Hive.
So as well there we need to put more
information out to other Reddit
and whatever parts of the world.
It's an important
thing which we should do
because then again
the same thing happened.
We have many other things on Hive like
communities and development stuff.
We had some slides this morning so I
probably don't need to repeat this again.
There are plenty of applications and it's
getting more and more every day.
We get more games, we get
more social media stuff,
we get more tokens and so on.
So this is something where
I learn after so many years
still about whatever kind
of platform which is behind
or what Podping does for podcasters.
And there are so many
cool functions available
and one hour a day is not
much to learn about all this.
If I look back to my
learning curve as I started
I had a bunch of question marks around me
and now estimate what
happened to young people
who are going today
into the direction of Hive.
How should we grab them without having
them with all these question marks?
So if there is any kind of
material which could help this
it might be quite nice.
We as well have a lot of
stuff where you can program with.
We have better and not as good
documentation on whatever
but it's there you can do it as we saw
with different games.
Again security, another big big topic.
Most of you know probably
the keychain application
which is connected with many of this
where you can start all your stuff
and your application and I like to point
as well to Hive Auth
which helps you especially if you like to
use Hive on your mobile phone
because whenever you
have Hive Auth installed
it's quite easy to use
all the apps on your mobile
and it's nowadays available
on Apple and on Google phones.
So this is another
tool beneath Hive keychain
which you should use or where at least
you should have a look into it.
And if the good thing is if you have some
questions regarding Hive Auth
I will get a guy later on
the stage who created it.
So it's quite easy.
And there will be a beer Saturday this
evening you already know.
I will hang around there and
the whole thing around Hive
you should join today you already did.
And another thing this is something you
should take a picture of
or have to have a look to my next post
because I will set up the
Hive Meetup Aachen number 13
in a lovely summer with nice
weather in the city of Aachen
which is in a triangle from Belgium, the
Netherlands and Germany.
And I already started some discussions on
what we could do there.
It will be a Friday
evening with knowledge transfer
maybe something like a
hackathon in different ways
and I try to get some
cool spots in Aachen
because we are a university
city with 60,000 students.
So it might be easy to onboard a few.
So from there I will need a
long half an hour more to talk.
No, I'm finished.

¡Yeih! The eagerly awaited videos have begun to arrive!!!
How nice to have a resource like this available for reminiscing and reflecting on so many things discussed during #BuzzParty2024.
Excellent talk to start, I think one of the presentations that helped lift spirits after the long day we had been having. Lively, straight to the point and understandable for everyone.
Appreciate the hard work you put into everything @tibfox to give us these summaries. Even a month later you're still putting a lot of effort into it. My hat's still off to you kiddo! ❤️
Greetings! What an honor to be able to enjoy these speeches, which contain quality information, I am attentive to the other summaries and videos.
🤩 !PGM
Oh, I didn't even notice that these videos were coming out!!! @detlev did a great presentation and I'm happy that I have time to talk with him during the event! It's always great to chat with passionate people who really care about the community and other Hivians!!!
Great presentation and would be interested to know how to setup a community and token project one of these days.
I want to congratulate you for your incredible work and dedication – your efforts truly inspire and elevate our entire community!
