My happy medium is not voting for assholes who take everything out and don't power up. My vote is spread between few people now, mostly established accounts, I'm sick and tired of funding people's lifestyles whilst they simply take, take, take...and say things like, omg, my life is so hard so I need to take Hive. Yeah, life is hard, but what did they do before someone brought them to Hive? Hmm.
A person's rep score doesn't mean they're not an extractor, just that people with reps bigger than them have voted on them. So, I check wallets for power ups and outgoings. I need to see fewer of the former and some of the latter or no vote. I even checked yours.
Yeah I hear you man! I’ve started to check wallets a lot more regularly and glad that you put me through the same test, as I wouldn’t expect any special treatment. Gotta put our money where our mouth is and change things ourselves if we expect others to follow suit.
The people who take it all out no matter what are very frustrating as are the same people who just drop a comment on a post, nice photos hoping for a vote they can cash out in a week. I’ve started just muting those idiots.
You're getting more votes from me, you notice that? That's because I will not vote fucken extractors. I'll support those who support the blockchain and fuck the rest.
Yep, I mute a lot of people, but they tend to disappear eventually like those who enter my weekend-engagement topics hoping for the vote from an orca and curangel...nope, not going to happen...they'll disappear.
Yeah haha I did notice that, and thank you for any of the support you provide as always! Speaking of power up, added a nice 300 to mine! It’s pretty wild how getting into the 20’s and 30’s your curation rewards go up really nicely and it kicks into overdrive at 40 and I’m sure the higher it goes. Feels pretty cool to give 2 hive per 100% vote if I wanted to.
The thing I am trying to figure out carefully - who are the up and coming people who could use the support from some votes. Do you have any junior people on the promising list? I made a PeakD list of people who seem promising and ended up cleaning it out and it’s got 2 people in it now but always looking for mor.
It's way more fun with stake, and curation is better as well of course. That's why I power up pretty much daily (see my wallet) because it earns and people see the power ups all the time. Doing it monthly doesn't seem productive...just to get a fucken bee? We're not children and shouldn't need little fucken bee incentives that means literally fuck all.
See below for a few suggestions:
@leopard0 - Newish, very small power ups but no power downs
@adaluna1973 - Same as above
@becca-mac - No power downs, no extractions, all power ups 1-2 posts/week, good content
@nanixx - Powers up when possible, takes some, seems balanced (and she shares it around)
@duskobgd - Not new, powers up very small amounts, takes some out but could be promising
@kilvnrex - As above (small power ups which could improve I think)
@shawnnft - Takes a lot out but powers up a little up too
@juwon-btc - Takes small amounts but also powers up regularly
@deirdyweirdy - Not new but I like this nutbag (she's fun and powers up)
@glideglobe - Not many power ups but no extracting either, good content
There's a few potentials all of which I support (the first one is fairly new to me and is still in the evaluation phase). I hope this helps a little @cmplxty. (I typed your name and it auto-populated with no less than seven accounts!)
Hahaha, nutbag is it? You know what they say...it takes one to know one!:)
I've never made any moves to hide my nutbaggery and knuckleheadiness...I own it...as everyone should.
Thank you for recognizing me as a member who does not harm Hive BC and for adding me to this list 🙂
I have to be honest, in addition to the fact that I like the "bee" badges (they give me a visual improvement of my work), I try to make a PUD with a daily minor boost and thus get the delegated HP, which hivebuzz gives.
That's why on my wallet you can see a part of Hiva waiting for its time to be strengthened.
One thing is important, I didn't use any of the Hives I made from rewards (in HBD) for anything other than increasing HP 🙂
This, which is seen as a small withdrawal, probably refers to Hive that I bought on Binance and transferred from my account to hiveswap to buy some tokens or bought Hive for HBD on Hivedex (in addition to the fact that I bought Hive a couple of times for fiat that I delegated )? I have not yet learned how and what is displayed 🙂
I know that no justification is necessary, but I only wrote to take the opportunity to ask.
Is it possible to add fiat to Hive in another way or is the only option through buying on Binance and sending it to the Hive account?
Bee badges are pointless and unnecessary for those who are self-motivated. I get it that five years old's may need that sort of incentive but adults shouldn't need it.
I like to see and engage with people who self-motivate knowing that their actions have an effect, positive effect, or that their actions have a negative effect, and those that take an active role in supporting the community in general and their own account.
I think transferring from exchanges is the only way to put Hive into your account. I swap my HBD on https://wallet.hive.blog/market and it goes right into the wallet then I power it up.
Hahaha yeah, I guess it would be better suited to add the Hive Power daily instead of letting it sit for a while! Let me give that a whirl, I've got enough little power up bees at this point LOL
Cheers thanks for the recommendations!
You responded as I posted the edit above.
can clarify on the takes a lot out :(. I've bought hive on binance and sent to my account to buy splinterlands stuff but I don't think I've taken much out from writing here on Hive , maybe a few small purchases but it was within the hive sphere
It's your choice, not a judgment I made. @cmplxty asked for some accounts I thought were worth considering throwing some support at and I gave him that list. We're all free to act as we wish so no worries.
I understand that no worries. Thanks for mentioning me!
I just wanted to know what made it seem like "takes out a lot" part haha
Awesome thanks for the group of people! I’ll check them out one by one now :D
