Hive.blog and peakd are the same thing as regards content.
You can post on one and read on the other, they publish to the chain and the chain allows many, many frontends to read it.
I didn't realize you had been around before the fork, I would have thought you would have had problems with 'the bad whale', now I have to do some research.
We definitely have it much better since the fork to hive, as regards free speech.
If you look in keychain's hamburger menu >user operations >automated tasks >claim savings interest, you will have the option to automate claiming your hbd interest to take advantage of the compounding.
Or, if you like, you can withdraw your hbd from savings, trade it internally to hive and power it up.
The interest rate on savings and curating are about the same.
As long as you keep your vote mana off 100%.
Yes, I originally opened a Steemit account in the summer of 2017. Shortly after the Hive-Blog website started up, everything that I had published on my Steemit channel automatically got published on my Hive-Blog channel until the Steem blockchain and the Hive blockchain split apart permanently. Then I claimed my Hive-Blog channel, and I eventually began publishing articles on my PeakD channel inasmuch as my PeakD channel had more options and advantages to it. I have hardly done anything on my Steemit channel for a long time.
For me to do all those fancy things that you mentioned on my PeakD channel, I might need some guidance from you inasmuch as I am more of a writer than I am a cryptocurrency wizard on the Hive blockchain. In fact, I'm still learning how to master this whole cryptocurrency challenge.
I have never encountered anyone that goes by the user name of "the bad whale,"; but whoever he or she may be, I'm sure glad I didn't have any problems with that person. I realize that with all the controversial articles I have published, steering clear of detractors is a challenge of its own.
I was looking through your feed, and it appears I found you not long after you got here, but didn't add you to the autovoter until 2019.
If you decide that you want to trade hbd for hive and power it up let me know and I will help you do that, it's not real hard, just a few steps.
The first being a 3 day wait for your savings to unstake.
'The bad whale' was a force unto himself, he often overwhelmed smaller users when he took exception with what they had to say.
He was driven away at the fork.
He damaged hive in ways we still haven't overcome.
Antisocialist? Oh my God. You're not going to believe this. "Mobbs"upvoted one of my articles recently, and this same guy downvoted another article of mine two years ago, acting as though he absolutely hated me. Let me see if I can insert a screenshot of it below here:
This mobbs guy is crazy. Now he's calling himself "bananas" ironically. Either he liked that article of mine or he was having an attack of conscience for downvoting another article of mine two years ago. Otherwise, he simply had forgotten about me and didn't realize that he was crossing paths with someone whom he had pissed off two years ago. Talk about a small world we live in.
Last time I had a negative encounter with "mobbs" two years ago, he seemed like someone who would have gotten along just fine with "The Bad Whale." LOL!
He probably follows a trail and doesn't even know.
He's likely a zombie account.
Life is stranger than fiction.
Thank you. Yeah, it seems like "The Bad Whale" is kind of like that school bully you heard about back in the seventh grade that made you glad that you didn't have any classes with him and that he didn't even know that you existed. You see the damage that he had done to the one unfortunate student that had him in every class and whom he wouldn't stop picking on, and then you realize that the winds of fate decided to cut you a major break this time around.
It could have been that "The Bad Whale" simply didn't know that I existed and had never had occasion to cross paths with me anywhere on any of the platforms. All for the better. He probably drove a lot of people eventually over to the Blurt blockchain, and that place is no goldmine. I haven't posted anywhere on the Blurt blockchain for quite a while. People there mostly have to pay for their success rather than work hard for it.
