Technical and Economical

this marks the first month in more than two years when I'm able to cover the cost of my witness setup. The recent price appreciation of the HIVE token made it in such a way that I'm breaking even. It feels good not to run your witness at a loss, for a change.
kept the block size at 65,535
kept the registration fee at 3 HIVE
kept the HBD interest at 0%.

Community

it's been an active week, exchange-wise, HIVE continued to receive positive vibes, so I wrote a couple of articles about these developments:
-- HIVE-USDT, HIVE-USD Pairs Available On Bittrex As Of Now
-- HBD Trading Higher Than $1 On Bittrex

There is an ongoing funding proposal for two of my Hive-related projects, which will allow me to support some of the costs involved. If you want to support this proposal, all you have to do is to vote it using any of the two links below:
