NEW STATS
Because of user requests we have tested out 4 new lifetime stats
- Author Rewards
- Curation Rewards
- Staked Hive
- KE (A ratio of staked hive vs rewards)
FAST VIEW OF KE
This may only apply to a few people but for their convenience Go to settings and you can click a button so you can see KE faster without having to go to menu
AI IMAGES - MORE FREE
We have introduced a new high quality FREE model. HiDream
It's high enough quality we are making it the default.
- Hidream (FREE Every 9 Seconds)
- HiDream (.002HBD)
- Ideogram v3 (.085 HBD)
- Ideogram v3 Turbo (.05 HBD)
- Venice SD35 (FREE timed or .002HBD)
Ideogram is great at graphic design and text and worth it if that's your aim. Venice is fast and cheap but no text. HiDream does text and is solid though not as good as a couple of the other models... but still towards top.
Already was wondering why KE-ratio disappeared, but it's just under the stats now (or could be toggled on).
Great that we can now use FREE AI models, will definitely try them out! :D
We actually cover the costs for those models 😅
But give them a try and let us know 💪
Great that we can now use AI models for FREE * ;)
Maybe point it out in the post that you cover the costs? People often wonder about the costs of a certain project :)
This post has been shared on Reddit by @blkchn through the HivePosh initiative.
Nice introduction of the free models!
I am constantly excited to see the new updates. This is most likely the best HIVE has to offer, with a springboard to new things.
All good updates and improvements to the site.
I'm just wondering what has happened with the ads? They've been gone for a few weeks and didn't see any results or updates.
I was hoping that we would get an update after the first few months with actual results and revenue generated.
Actual results were not great. I feel like sharing it would be a bit demoralizing 😅
I would still love to know and I'm sure that others would too in terms of how many views, what countries had the biggest effect on it and what kind of revenue was earned per day.
It might be poor now but at a bigger user base it could become worth it in the future.
Was there a lot of work to keep them running or just not covering the cost of running them?
The problem is that the user experience was worse for every user. And at the same time the revenues were not even good enough to cover our server costs. And our servers are pretty cheap 😅
It didn't affect my user experience. The ads were small and unobtrusive but the revenue sounds crap. I would have expected it to make some money from a decent sized site like yours.
Was that with opt in or opt out for users to experience the ads?
It's a shame the numbers were so bad. If it was anything reasonable it would be a great base to build from and try to increase the numbers every month.
Get people sharing more content, more eyes on our eco system and more revenue every month buying hive from the markets. Make it a community challenge to get those numbers up. 💪
certainly worth a post. Will do
That would be great jarvie.
Ads have always been something that a lot of us wanted to try and generate revenue for the ecosystem.
The fact that you gave up says that the numbers must have been very poor. So I would love to see more details on how poor it was and why. 😂
This is what asgarth wrote few weeks ago
We tested and it was not worth.
Maybe @asgarth or @jarvie can tell you more.
Interesting updates with peakD.
wrong link on the info tooltip "To learn more about how to use the new editor, click here.":

ready to test... need get back posting, im stucked on atacama desert so far
Maybe a question in regards to the usage of the AI-models: Is it possible the option isn't available on mobile?
