Rephrasing, "lots of things happening on the blockchain!"

I do agree that lots of things are happening on the blockchain right now. 😄

Positives

  • The price of HIVE increased by roughly 40% (and HBD is currently above its pegged price of $1).
  • #Splinterlands's DEC and Card prices have skyrocketed by 400% to 800%.
  • The number of signups on Hive increased a lot.

Negatives

  • Errors are happening on transactions on Hive (duplicated posts and comments, failed HIVE/HBD and Hive Engine token transactions)
  • Resource Credit requirement for every transaction slightly increased (which affect new users the most).

I would still say that the positives of current Hive events outweigh the negatives. 😏

Have a !PIZZA with !LUV! 😁

Mate... you don't realize how positive are your negatives!

The errors were a consequence of lack of capacity from the servers... so that's amazing and expected and they were adjusted. You can't predict everyone to go 1000% capacity and pay for those resources without any need from the network. Of course the more contributors the less these differences will be noticed.

About the RC... all I wish is for them to SKY rocket! It's so easy to post... compared with EOS for example.

HIVE RC is super mega cheap!

Thanks for your feedback.

I think that while having high Resource Credit costs would help Hive in general, it would be a burden to new users and those users who can't afford a lot of Hive Power.

Nahhh... to be honest its very cheap for new users, because they don't exhaust RC at the same rate things like bots and other service accounts do.

For perspective... currently 49 HIVE (which already a moderate amount of HP but less than 25$ in value), allows a current user to do in one go if he/she wants:

Resource Credits
max_mana 97,273,421,671
current_mana 97,273,421,671
current_pct 100
adjustment "3.063 HP"
Enough credits for approximately:
48 comments
100+ votes
100+ transfers

48 posts in a single second if he/she could. It's overkill even for new users. And if we count with the recharge rate:

Your recharge rate is 10.4M per day. Approx costs:
comment 1.1M
vote 0.07M
transfer 0.18M

Means that per day, a user can do around 10 posts/comments without running out of RC, continuously. It's too much for just 25$ worth of token to my view and this is in some situations an easy way for someone to just start messing around (because is so cheap). But maybe I am the one that does not blog, post a lot 🤣. Anyhow I don't think there are many that do way more than this. Most users just read and very occasionally comment.

Anyhow, even for new users I would be whiling to help a delegate HP to allow he/she to post (anyone)... if I know that person and I know its a regular user and he/she is not doing anything stupid, yeah, for sure, no brainer, I can delegate HP. Any 10 HP is sufficient for a user to post if for some reason its not being allowed, due RC.

Some new users won't spend $25 (or even $10 for roughly 20 Hive Power which allows roughly 4 posts or comments per day) to test out Hive. It's either they are still skeptical, does not have enough money, or both. I do believe that if those users get established on the Hive blockchain and see the benefits, they would invest into it (if they can).

I hope there would be more services like @giftgiver which provides free 15 Hive Power delegation for 7 days (which can be applied for again). However, I do know that services like that can be abused (especially by spammers).

!LUV !PIZZA

Well, I am happy to help ANYONE that wants to try for 7 days for free too. They can't abuse because they can't get any rewards OUT... that's the reason for the 7 day period.

Anyhow, Most of the accounts get free HP from their referrals (once they post), and if they don't, it's quite easy to beg for some help nowadays. I don't bother if you know who you are bothering for (meaning I will check you out).

Either way, if you use referrals for other HIVE accounts, that problem does not even exist because the sponsoring account will look at you and give you some free HP to continue playing around.

Any of my referrals work that way:
