Hi all,
I want to update you on projects I've been working on. Also, I'm happy to answer questions in the comment sections.
Hive apps X Score Card
Leading up to Hard Fork 28, I wanted to help build hype on the X platform. While poking around, I had an idea to gather some numbers and start conversations. Please encourage your favorite Hive apps to post on X! The gold checkmark account (@hiveblocks) can direct more attention to those posts.
The Score Card idea is to measure engagement for Hive projects that regularly post on X. Ideally, the Score Card could be generated monthly and include the following measurements:
- Followers count
- Posts per month
- Reposts per post
- Likes per post
- Replies per post
- Views per post
Using these numbers, Hive apps can experiment and share the most effective strategies.
The first scorecard attempt was a flop; Grok hallucinated the numbers. The measurement method needs more work.
MOON Game
For MOON Universe 2, the game has a unique theme. Galaxies are being destroyed, forcing players to move to higher-numbered galaxies. We recently took the action to detonate Galaxy 1. Since the game was not designed to destroy all players' main planets, this required extra work in the database.

I also made some minor fixes to the admin panel and registration page.
Swarm of Swarms
Each week, I assemble the developer update post on @HiveToday. A few regulars join in every week. At the peak, 7-8 projects joined in.
I am considering some measures to recognize people who consistently show up. How about a badge for joining in 25, 50, 75, and 100 swarms?
The regulars in recent weeks are @sagarkothari88 and @mcfarhat. Hats off to them!
CommentRewarder
CommentRewarder received some bug fixes. The daily stats post was incorrectly showing some zeroes. Those issues are fixed.
Some new data was added to show how many posts are in the backlog, and how much Hive is needed from power downs to cover the whole backlog. This makes it easier for us to monitor it.
CR's backlog of posts waiting for liquid Hive has been gradually decreasing. It is gradually catching up and automatically retrying the payouts.
RedditPosh
Reddit Posh recently got some attention, changing how comment rewards are distributed. See more details in this post: https://peakd.com/hive-197333/@acidyo/updates-on-posh
RedditPosh has more potential to tap into. @acidyo showed me that a PeakD link shared on Reddit this week generated 6500 PeakD views.
Something New - Feats
Acidyo shared an idea with me for a new social feature for Hive communities. It was mentioned in this post. https://peakd.com/hive-131131/@acidyo/zing-is-going-proof-of-brain. I have been researching and prototyping the idea, and it will be bolted on to the HoloZing community first.
What do you think? Do any of these ideas seem more promising than the others?
Hive Onward,
HT
I don't see what's on Twtr these days, but I hope you can get some engagement there. I do think that Comment Rewarder is great though and gives people more incentive to write good comments.
Comment Rewarder is thriving!
