A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's #HivePUD, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. Altogther we had:
- 144 posts on the 1st tagged with #HivePUD and/or #HPUD.
- 122 people who powered up and posted on the 1st using #HivePUD and/or #HPUD, with 77 of those qualifying for prizes.
- 33,454.777 Hive (worth approx $5,018 USD) powered up from Hive Power Up Day participants during the hours of the first via their local time.
- 124,819 Hive (worth approx $18,723 USD) powered up during the 24 hour UTC time set to earn @hivebuzz badges (check out their awesome Feedback from the October 1st Hive Power Up Day post for more info).
All in all, even with the blockchain braincramps and naughty nodes (not to mention needing to amend the original unofficial winners list) it was yet another wicked awesome day, my Hive friends!
Now, for the official results (with another hat tip to my numbers guy @abh12345 for all of his help).

THANK YOU!
Again, I wicked appreciate everyone for making this #HivePUD event such an awesomesauce success! Even with the Hive hiccups, and having a dozen fewer participants, we still managed to top last month's power up total. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the #Hive community ROCKS!

I was scared to open this tag, but it looks like it's time for another !BEER 🍻
I would like to thank my mom and dad for making me, and Satoshi for drawing attention to blockchain technology and all the awesome people who coordinated Octobers Power Up Day! From the organizers, promoters, sponsors and of course most importantly the participants and winners!
And doing this again since I had a copy pasta fail... 😵 🤣
!ENGAGE 25
LOL! After all the nail biting over the past few days @rarej, you definitely deserve another !BEER 😂 🍺
Awesome acceptance speech too - you really know how to engage an audience! Speaking of... ENGAGE 25
Thank you very much @traciyork. All I'm doing is trying to be myself.
Why don't you join me in that !BEER 🍻

Thanks Brada! 🍻 You're initial resource delegation was an essential part of reaching this point.
I'm just happy we have you here, you are really rocking it. I pretty sure you will inspire many other Surinamers to become more active on Hive.
Already working on it 👌🏽

BEER.ENGAGEtokens.Wow, and congratulations to the top 3, @rarej, @starstrings01 and @thatsweeneyguy! Those are stupendous power ups to grow your accounts!!
A special word for @traciyork for all her hard work on this - I know there's a lot of backend stuff and with a lot often happening in 3D life (especially in 2020), that can be challenging. You do a really fantastic job, so at least, from me to you: thank you.🙏
I know that you'll be in touch regarding the delegations (currently being eclipsed😖) in due course. Also, as you know, I've had some issues to attend to at home which has made me a little less than attentive this time round. Here's to hoping for a less eventful (for me anyway) November power up day!
Thank you in return for always being so awesome for my ego, @fionasfavourites! 😂😊🤗
Seriously, as I've said before, I can't imagine doing things like this without the amazing support from people like you. And yes - keeping my fingers crossed that November 1st isn't haunted by the same gremlins that appeared in October!
!ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Delegations have been set-up for @rarej, @starstrings01,and @thatsweeneyguy. Great job folks!
Thank you @sgt-dan. If that sgt stands for Sergeant, I salute you. 👊
Yes I am a former Sergeant of Marines. Not the best, but did my best.
Ah, that's cool. At first I thought it was a play on "lieutenant Dan" from Forrest Gump. 😅
Always thought the Marines were the coolest one of the types of armed forces.
Well, unless you count space-force. 🙃
I don't much else about the adventures and or dangers it involves though, but I'm sure it had an impact on your life.
ENGAGEtokens.Thank you @misterengagement.
Thanks so much @sgt-dan for your sponsorship of #HivePUD and your awesomesauce support in general. I truly appreciate all you do for me, and for our blockchain home.
!ENGAGE 25
Thank you Traci for the tokens. You deserve as much support as you get and probably more!
I could not agree more. She does a more than fabulous job. Any ideas of whose ears one should whisper in to get this good lady a bit more support? She gives so much - and so graciously, our @traciyork ⭐️
Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate this 😊
You are more than welcome. Good travels my friend on our blockchain.
Prizes sent!
Awesomeness, @improv! Thanks so much for being so prompt, and for your sponsorship! Also, I still have my thinking cap on for your latest PundDay Monday - hoping the inspiration fairy shows up soon! 😂
!ENGAGE 25
If the inspiration fairy is slow, you can check out my how-to to get her going!
ENGAGEtokens.Yay/I don't know what that means.
Congratulations for all Winners!
And thank you not only for participating @walarhein, but for helping to make me aware that the original Unofficial Winners list was inaccurate. Hope to see you again in November!
!ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Awesome! That’s a lot of great hive to get powered up!
I’ll be sending an SBI share for @tripode and @hivetrending soon!
Give both to @tripode :) I don’t need it.
I know, @cmplxty! I was so blown away when I saw the number on my calculator (because yes, I'm crazy enough to manually add all the numbers that @abh12345 sends me each month 😝). Thanks so much for your sponsorship & participation - it's people like you that help make this a success!
!ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Thank You for all the work "You Do" to make this work!
Have a Great Week!
👍🏼😊🐝🌴🐝😊👍🏼
Thanks in return for your kind words, @lesmann and for participating this month! I greatly appreciate both!
!ENGAGE 25
Thank YOU!
I Will be back for sure!
Make the rest of Your Week Great!
👍🏼🐝😁🌴😁🐝👍🏼
ENGAGEtokens.Thank You So Much!
I Appreciate It!
👍🏼🐝😁🌴😁🐝👍🏼
Congrats to all the winners and the celebration of the hive power up day. Glad I got the opportunity to power up this month 😀
And thanks for joining in this month, @rmsadkri! Much appreciate your support!
!ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Wow the top 3 all have 200+% power ups!!
That's awesome!!!
Congrats to the winners and thanks all for participating.
@traciyork, we're waiting until after the HF for delegation prizes right? I'm currently having some issues with that.
Posted using Dapplr
I know, right? Those top three numbers were wicked amazing!
And yes, @jeanlucsr - in fact, I may put together a reply shortly & tag all the winners and sponsors, to suggest that for those who are able to award their prizes now, to maybe extend the delegation time a bit to take into consideration that many people aren't able to be active right now, and to remind those who won that their prizes might be delayed until after the HF.
We will get it all worked out.
Yes, @traciyork that sounds like a plan!
And because I didn't think to do this before...😂
!ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Yeah! 5th place! Congratulations to all other winners!
And what an awesomesauce power up, @friendlymoose! Congratulations to you as well, and thanks so much for participating! Hope to have you back again in November!
!ENGAGE 25
ENGAGEtokens.Oh, wow! Thank you so much @traciyork, to all the organizers, and all the sponsors. I'm thrilled to be one of my winners after doing my first power up. Congratulations to the other winners as well.
I'm amazed by how much @starstrings01 powered up. Congrats to you, man.
Now, I'll have to figure out next how to maximize the delegations I'll be receiving.
Thanks man. I had to take the step the buy so much Hive because I plan to use it to support others especially my country men.
Wow what a huge day, what a huge event and what an even HUGER list of Winners there!!!
Awesome job @starstrings01,@thatsweeneyguy,@quekery, @friendlymoose
Well done everyone, you all deserve a pat on the back, so lets get some off WINNER #1 @Rarej and maybe some of his fame and fortune will rub off on us all...lol...😃😁
Great job to everyone and especially all of the sponsors @sgt-dan, @traciyork, @improv, @cmplxty, @fionasfavourites,#naturalmedicine, @riverflows, @hiveph,
@livinguktaiwan, @jeanlucsr and to the brilliant @hivebuzz and Asher @@@abh12345 for crunching the numbers and validating everyone's effort!
A I am even proud to say that I made it on the list this time! Yaayyy, Miracles on the Hive do happen!!!😃🤣😂😅
So what flavour is #HivePUD going to be next month- Chocolate...😁😁😁😁
Chocolate pud? Ahem... 🤣🤣🤣
Well there's only 2 puds that I've ever known and loved before (till now) and one was my old cat who adopted me and her name became Pudly McPuddle- PUD for short...and then the other absolute favourite that will never die is Choccy PUDding...😁
Sooo if you're offering I'll be HiveChocolatePUDding up...🤣
A cat called PUD - she must have been delightful.
And, if you're in the area, give me a heads-up and I'll do one of these for you:

I'm trying to find an emoji on here that looks like my face just did!!!

Another month's of great work Traci!!! Thanks for everything.
Congrats @glecerioberto, I have just powered up your prize to help you towards your Hive journey!
Thank you so much! I didn't realize it was an HP giveaway and not a delegation. I'm so close to 500 HP it's tempting to power up. Hahaha.
Everyone does their own little thing for PUD. I figured I'd do a little giveway each month and help people to power up. You're over 500 HP now!
BTW, try not to drain you're voting mana too much, 40+% is way too low. It's nice to support people with your upvote, but at this rate your support will never be worth anything and your curation rewards will be very low. Try to keep it around 80% ish to make it meaningful
You gave me 10 more! I'm over 500 HP now. Thank you so much.
Yeah, I'm having trouble with what to do with my votes recently so I keep giving more and more. I'll take note of your advice and spend it more wisely next time.
So glad to be part of this event! Can't wait for the next! 😁
Wow, I did not seen your post, apologize me for my late reaction and answer.
Big Thank you @traciyork and all the Hive Team for your work, encouragements and of course the Hive-PUD 😃
Moreover, I am very proud to be part of our wonderful community 😇
I wish you a wonderful weekend with love and hugs 💞🤠
