The News
As I am setting up my new PC I was not able to run my usual script to generate price charts, but here are some numbers from @coingecko. $HIVE is sticking around the 6c mark, but the legacy crapcoin is dropping more. As for SBD, they obviously gave up on that years ago. I think it was worth several dollars at some point, so some people will have lost a lot of value.
It was sad to hear from @aggroed that Hive-Engine was hacked this week. This seems to have affected coins with bridges to other blockchains such as Eth, BNB and Solana. I do not know the details, but with AI systems finding vulnerabilities in various things we have to be aware of how safe our funds are. I have not heard of any issues affecting the Hive blockchain itself.
I keep an eye out for any mention of Hive elsewhere online and found this on FinanceFeeds about 'social-fi' where you can earn. Unfortunately they do not provide links to any of the services and we know Hive can be hard to find due to the common name.
Friday Follows
- I often mention @hivetoday who cover various news in more detail than I can.
- @ecency have been posting interesting stuff lately, including this on how tricky SEO (search engine optimisation) can be.
- @pechichemena has a band who have a new album. If you enjoy gypsy jazz then check them out.
- @shanibeer did a review of the Richard Osman book I happen to be reading right now.
- @honeydue and @godfish have a new comic called @dead-pets that looks good with great artwork. There are a few other comics on Hive that I have mentioned in these posts before. I like to fill my feed with content I will enjoy.
- @blocktunes are back with plans to shake up how music is consumed and funded. We have lots of musicians here who generally have to rely on the big corporate music platforms. We need alternatives. I have said many times that Hive can be great for musicians and their fans.
- @sanderjansenart has been here for many years sharing freaky art. You can get physical versions of that to brighten your world.
Community Chest
I think that communities on Hive are underused as a way to bring like-minded people together. It does not always have to be about fishing for votes. I have created a fair few, including:
- Drumming for those who like to beat things.
- parkrun reviews to map out cool places to run.
- Whisky for discerning drinkers.
What are your favourite communities for your interests? I think they work best by focusing on specific things.
The End
I have heard that some disgruntled people accuse me of being part of some secret Hive elite. That is laughable really as you would expect my posts to do a lot better if I were. I am always very open about what I do here. I do not conspire against anyone or do deals for votes. I have mostly avoided getting too involved in anything around finance as I am here to have fun without worrying too much about what I earn. I know it is different for others so I use the Hive Power I have built up to support those who deserve it.
I was involved in anti-abuse years ago, but have hardly downvoted anything recently and that is only for blatant abuse such as plagiarism. I will stand by whatever I did for that and it is all public on the chain. I doubt you can find any trace of me actually being nasty to anyone who was not engaged in abuse and even then I tried to be civil as I know that things can come back to haunt you.
I have not powered down in ages, but I may consider it to pay towards going to Hivefest. It is not like anyone else is going to pay for me to go and I would not expect them to. Barcelona will not be the cheapest venue, but it is a cool city.
Have a great weekend and Hive five!

Good stuff! Can't wait to hear it!

It’s just not a Friday without your #fridayfollow post, @steevc!
It was super fun to host you at @creativeworkhour whilst your post was beginning polished to publish. We powered up 1 HIVE and purchased 1 HBI in your honour for hanging out to work with us today.
We started the “Show Up & We’ll Match It With a Power Up” initiative just a few months ago and now we’ve built up 1200+ HP, staking 1 HIVE for each Hivian for each Creative Work Hour attended.
I know I don't join you that often, but it's great that people have this daily place to meet up. Keep on powering up!

And regrading the @dead-pets comic strip project, I’m hosting Hive Thrive on 26 May at 6pm UTC along with @shadowspub for Ep. 58.
The project’s creators @godfish & @honeydue are our featured guests. Fish will be focused on the Hive Discord voice channel & Honey will be focused on the text channel.
We’re super excited to do this episode, as Fish, Honey, and I have been planning this one for a while, and got the date nailed down while we were in Alicante #hive-spain 🇪🇸 for Hive Open Days
Dead Pets are already alive, and they've been doing better than most Hive content outside our favorite platform. The comic is already better indexed than most Hive content (thanks to sharing it outside our favorite blockchain). Sharing, commenting, reblogging, upvoting, mentioning it... Anything is welcome, anything helps :)
This is AWESOME, @godfish!! We’ll have so much to talk about and celebrate on Tuesday!!
These interviews are great. Look forward to it.
gladly i had nothing worth on hive engine

STOPThe HIVE Engine thing damaged a lot of projects. It's sad and I don't know if many of them will recover.
That will be a shame. You have to be so cautious as the crooks will take anything they can.
I didn't know about the hive news account Hivetoday thanks for sharing!
I think one individual things the -C is a give away 2+2=5. there is a -c who downvotes regularly across the hive, for whatever reason.
Not sure what you mean, but various people downvote for various reasons. I don't get involved in personal disputes.
No it it is a bit daft , not worth the stress
Security should always be a top priority for our funds.
