It's here! Hive Power Up Day for February 1st, 2023

in Hive Powerlast year (edited)

HivePUD is here February 1st 2023 blog graphic.png

 
 

I know - it seems like the new year just began, and already the first month is done. And while it's still not midnight in my neck of the woods (I'm posting this a bit after 10pm EST), #HivePUD for February 1st 2023 has already arrived in other parts of the world. If you want a super cool way to check if it's officially in your area according to UTC time (which is how the Hive Buzz badges are determined), be sure to check out the Countdown Timer on the hivebuzz.me site (under the green "Power Up" tab), courtesy of the awesomesauce team at @hivebuzz!

HivePUD TL;DR

  • If you want to qualify for the AMAZING Hive Power Up Day badge(s), your power up must happen during the 24 hours of February 1st 2023 according to UTC time.

and/or

  • If you want to qualify for the #HivePUD prize pool, your power up and post must happen (according to criteria listed below) during the hours of February 1st 2023, your local time.

 

AND PLEASE NOTE:

I did some tweaking of the 4 traditional HivePUD posts a year ago last month, and back in April 2022 I decided to tweak a bit more by combining the usual first two posts (Announcement & Welcome to HivePUD) into this one that I publish around the first few hours of the start of the first each month. In addition, I'll do some extra signal boosting of the "HivePUD is coming" posts done by others instead, as it seems like it will be the best way to spread the word. 😊

And in July 2022, I decided to tweak the rules a bit, for the first time in forever - be sure to check them out below.

Oh and in October, because of the continuing (and awesome) uptick in participation, I tweaked the timeline of the Power Up Day results to give me a couple extra days to put things together after my numbers guy sends me the raw data.
 

Now, for the basic Power Up Day details...

 
 

What is HivePUD?

Hive Power Up Day happens on the first of every month. Those who are able to, take this time to power up some Hive, and/or cancel their power downs and pause trading/selling for the 24 hour span of the day.

If you'd like more in depth information about Power Up Day, please check out this post from July 2021.

 
 

What are the rules to win prizes for HivePUD?

UPDATED As of July 2022

The requirements are:

  1. Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70 and your account must be in good standing with the community.
  2. Your total HIVE Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
  3. You must power up at least 10 Hive on February 1st (and must NOT be powering down).
  4. You must write a post about your power up on February 1st with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Hispanic) as one of your first 5 tags (tagging only in the body of the post doesn't count).

 
To be included in the winners list, you must meet all four requirements above. The order of the list (first place, second place, and so on) will be determined by the biggest PERCENTAGE of Hive powered up, not necessarily the most Hive powered up.

And to make it clear what's changed about the rules, I've bolded the two bits in rules #1 and #3. I think it's pretty self-explanatory why I've added those in, but please feel free to shout out if you any questions about it.

D'oh, I didn't use the #HivePUD tag on my post. Oh well, I don't qualify for getting a reward anyway, I just like to spread the word.

For next time (or for this time if you don't mind arranging it), I will delegate 100 hive to a random winner for 3 weeks. (Or 50 to two random winners, or 10 to 10 random winners, you can decide what works best in the program, just 100 Hive total but split up in whatever way works)

Just DM me a list on discord @traciyork and I'll be happy to delegate.

@dbooster there's still time to edit your post and add the #HivePUD tag (on quiet months, I even try to scroll through the feed and remind people who've forgotten... but it hasn't been quiet for a bit...😄 You might not qualify for a prize (though I do have a small appreciation drawing for those who don't) but it helps with the visibility and total numbers for Power Up Day (can you tell I'm hoping to break last month's ATH number of participants...lol).

And I can definitely arrange that for this month - in fact, I even edited the post above last night to add another new prize. If you prefer to pick the winner yourself, I can send you the qualifying list on the 8th. However what most sponsors do (other than the awesome Pizza guys, who have specific criteria they're looking for) is have me do a drawing for all the prizes at once (in the hopes no one gets a double prize, so it helps spread the love) and then I send them a message on Discord with their winner's name. Oh, and then I write a redonkulously long reply to the official winners post with all the prize awards, and tag everyone. 😊

Oh, and I think the 100 Hive Power delegation for three weeks would be my preferred, but two 50 HP delegations is a close second. Thanks so much in any case for offering to sponsor a prize - much appreciated!

Ok, I did as suggested and edited my post with the tag.

You can do the drawing. Just let me know the name or names of who to send to and I will do so.

Thanks so much for sponsoring a prize 🙌

Screenshot 2023-02-01 at 13-36-15 It's here! Hive Power Up Day for February 1st 2023 PeakD.png

My darling, darling Trace :D

Here to participate because I LOVE HivePUD and the vibe. (and you tbh!) ❤️

Planned to write something but then loadshedding twice and took the young person out for a swim when the first 2 hours of loadshedding happened... that ended up being longer and more of a walk than expected. (it's an interesting story though... I'll save it for #HivePUD March ;) )

Bit worn thin at the moment and just can't stay up longer than right now to write. Very tired! I know you'll get this part. Sucks. Bigtime.

Total FOMO right now.

But here for a tiny bit to say love you guys. Love your work to grow this community. Have a blast today and I'm with you all the way. 💥

If I can delegate some HP to a new person for the 21 days to participate let me know.

I also participated in this Power Up, with few HIVEs, but I could not miss it.
