Hi guys, Sid here. Time for the weekly Hive newsletter.
I hope and wish you are doing great. This has been one of the most entertaining week on Hive. Check out the #1 update to know why.
Apart from this, we also have rock-solid momentum and announcements. Let us quickly explore all the 13 bite-sized updates:
#1: Biggest drama on Hive: In fact, a week-long drama comes to an end as crypto influencer says “Bye Hive.” If you haven’t been following this, here’s what happened:
- Influencer Cryptofinally was downvoted by the Hive whale(s)
- She then voiced her opinion through a series of post.
- This lead to a series of verbal fights.
- The fight was also carried over on Twitter.
#2: HardFork 24 Update: Estimated launch is ~30 days. This also takes into account 3 additional weeks — reserved for exchanges to setup the nodes. [Details]
#3: On CoinTelegraph: If you would like to read a simple yet detailed article on NFT, check out this article co-written by Splinterlands CEO.
#4: Blocktrades wrote an article on Hive’s future. The bottomline is:
“Hive is the most attractive platform for the development of innovative, decentralized applications.”
#5: LeoFinance completes one year this week. It is a popular Hive side-chain which was recently listed on Cryptex24. [Details]
#6: Dapp.com has released a new Q2 market report for dapps. It briefly mentions Hive and reveals “the amount of active dapp users on Hive has exceeded Steem.” [Article]
#7: Check out this alternative to SteemWorld and BeeMe (no longer works) called Hivetasks. The free tool comes with all the bells and whistles with a simple design. Enter your Hive username to see your data.
#8: Gaming: Pitched last year was a game called Crypto Brew Master. Now the alpha version is out. Mission is to develop your own brewery with the right ingredients. [Details]
Note: If you are interested in Hive games, read this article.
#9: Two more Hive updates: There’s an unofficial WeChat group for Hive users. See how to join here. If you want to listen to some new music, check out the Hive Open Mic community.
#10: Shoutout to @reward.app. It is an experimental idea to reward curators on top of their existing rewards. This also benefits the author. [See 1,2]
#11: In order to onboard various talents, there is a contest for new creators. Be it poetry, music, or art. Check out the contest here. Perhaps you can share it with your friend.
#12: Speaking of sharing with your friend, you can also invite anyone on Hive without phone verification. How? By giving them a free VIP ticket. It also looks pretty cool.
#13: Tweets of the week: In fact, we have three. One is a Twitter thread discussing Hive in detail for new users. The other one takes a stab at the worldwide censorship. And finally, photo of Hive London meetup.
Tip of this week:
“Sid, how long will I live?” — In fact, you can now discover your time on earth using data. Try Population.io. It estimates your longevity based on your location. (YES — we won’t live forever).
And with this thought, we end this week’s newsletter. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Wish you a fantastic Sunday.
See you next week! 🙏
Cheers,
@Sidwrites

Your link to Hivetasks is not working. It goes to a black page, just like Beeme...
Could it be a deliberate sabotage?
Working for me. Please try https://hivetasks.com/@ronavel
