Welcome to @streetstyle's #HivePUD (Hive Power Up Day) for July 1st 2020

[traciyork]

It's here! Okay, technically in my little corner of the world, there are still a couple more hours left of June, but I wanted to get this post out now since #HivePUD has arrived in other parts of the globe!

What is Hive Power Up Day?

It's something that has been taking place on the first day of every month for well over a year, ever since @streetstyle came up with the idea on that other blockchain. There's a great old post from @sndbox that explains all the reasons you personally benefit from powering up. For the community as a whole, it's a great way to show support for our blockchain home by staking (aka powering up) Hive and adding to its value.

What does it require?

In @streetstyle's words ...

For the first day of the month:

• We ask that everyone who can do so, power up any amount of HIVE they are holding on the first of the month.

• We ask accounts that are currently powering down to please pause the powerdown during the hours of the first of the month.

• We ask that those who are trading and/or selling Hive, not to do so during the hours of the first of the month (and if possible, cancel any type of sell order on any exchanges for the same hours).

What are the rules to win prizes for HivePUD?

Again, in Street's own words (with my changes edited in)

MUST have a reputation score BELOW 70.00 ( so 69.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 100 HIVE POWER (prior to HivePUD) BUT LESS than 8000 HIVE Power.

MUST have a reputation score of 39 & ABOVE (so rank of 38.99 will Not Win)

MUST Power Up HIVE COIN on JULY 1st, 2020

MUST make a post about your POWER UP on JULY 1st with the tag HivePUD . It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of HIVE COIN" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your HIVE blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on HIVE Power. IMPORTANT:use HivePUD hash tag so that I can be sure to see them.

The winners MUST meet all 4 requirements , and it will be based on the Biggest HIVE Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of HIVE Power and the amount you power up on JULY 1st.

For Example:

If you have 1000 HIVE Power already powered up prior to JULY 1, and on JULY 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 HIVE Power Up,

and

another HIVE member has 300 HIVE Powered up prior to JULY 1, and on JULY 1st Powers Up 60 HIVE Coin, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.

Shout out to the Venezuelan #HPUD Initiative!

Shortly after I posted the the HivePUD announcement post, I discovered that @victoriabsb has started one for the #Hive Venezuelan community! That's wicked awesomesauce, Victoria and best of luck with your very first #HPUD!

Here's her initial post with all the information on how to participate -

🌟 Can We Venezuelans Do a HIVE Power Up Day? #HPUD || Podemos Los Venezolanos Hacer un Hive Power Day? 😎 💪 🌟

And here's her latest update -

Update || 🌟 iniciativa: Dia de HIVE Power Up #HPUD Venezolanos 😎 💪 🌟 [ENG/ESP]

I hope even more initiatives like this start popping up! Wouldn't it be cool to have a whole bunch to choose from? If anyone knows of any others, please shout out so I can include them in future #HivePUD posts!

Coming Up Next

After July 1st has officially ended all over the world, I'll have my crack team of experts (aka the ever awesomesauce @abh12345) compile the numbers, and just like Street used to do, I'll put out an UNOFFICIAL winners post on the 2nd or 3rd, to give everyone a chance to shout out if anyone gets overlooked. Then on the 5th, I'll post the OFFICIAL winners list, and at that time all of our amazing sponsors can award their prizes.

Also in the winners post, I'll explain why I removed the pre-HivePUD post requirement by revealing a new (and hopefully fun) giveaway for next month. @nathanmars has already generously offered one prize, I'll contribute another, and I'm working on getting more in place. 😊

Once again thanks to everyone for all you do to make our new blockchain space a home! Here's to an awesomesauce Hive Power Up Day and let's make @streetstyle proud!

Thanks for stopping by!

[traciyork]

Wowzers! Nicely done, @woelfchen!

I can't say anything until the official winners list is released on the 5th, but as a reminder, it isn't how much you power up, it's the biggest percent powered up. However, having said that, I did just post the Unofficial winners list a short time ago... 😉 😊

[brittandjosie]

Lets do this people https://peakd.com/hive-114105/@brittandjosie/hive-power-up-day-omg-is-in-full-progress-so-many-of-you-joined-so-now-its-my-turn

[traciyork]

Yes! 🤣

[r1s2g3]

Just maintaining my habit of powering up

[traciyork]

Wonderful, @r1s2g3! Thanks for maintaining such an awesome habit! 😊

Nicely done, @brittandjosie! Thanks for sharing the link! 😊

[wthomas]

I’m clearing my cookies and browser history, PeakD is giving me issues today.

[traciyork]

I was losing my brain earlier today, trying to reply to all the PUD posts, while the nodes kept crashing! Glad to see you preserved & succeeded, @wthomas! 😊

[wthomas]

Thanks! I figured out how to change the node, otherwise I would have been left on the outside looking in. 😳

[davedickeyyall]

@bethvalverde is a confirmation..

[brittandjosie]

Thats great news @davedickeyyall, thanks for informing

[traciyork]

Thanks for the info, @davedickeyyall - I updated her to a ✔️! 😊

[denmarkguy]

I'm so glad you have taken this on @traciyork, we need all the positive energy around here that we can get!

I don't fit within the PUD parameters, but I will be powering up my bit of Hive later today (I'm on the US West Coast, so we still have a while to go!), and I'm certainly happy to reblog this for more visibility!

[traciyork]

That's awesome, @denmarkguy - thank you kindly for your support! And I agree that every bit of positivity helps these days, which is why I was happy to make sure @streetstyle's excellent PUD kept powering along! 😊

[jamerussell]

Glad that you and @brittandjosie are promoting this for @streetstyle for a bit @traciyork! That gives Hivians a clue on what's going on for building up the blockchain.

[traciyork]

Thanks for your appreciation, @jamerussell! I'm just happy to be able to pay it forward, after everything @streetstyle has done to help build our blockchain home! 😊

[stevenwood]

I came very close to nearly, almost, by the skin of my teeth ((just building the drama... Maybe go have a cup of tea I could be some time!!!)) didn't get my post out on July 1ST but by the miracle of modern technology ((I made my Daughter help with the HivePUD photo)) I flew under the radar, scored a home run, made it to the endzone... Sorry I'm doing it again... I hardly even notice the hyperbole anymore!

This finely crafted piece of garbage treasure is my HivePUD post.

I don't imagine that powering up a little over 100 HP given the sheer number of entries will be in the same orbit as the winners BUT you made it sound so much like an event that I wanted my post in on time to be part of the action.

I remember vaguely hearing the term spud HPUD in the past and never quite being sure what it was all about... Well now I know and I have even taken part in my inaugral HivePUD... Wait till the local womens institute get to hear about this!(Being a man of course I'm not a member, but occasionally I drop by and tell them their jam is bitter, the scones are dry and the vote has been rescinded... I get bored...

Thank YOU for stepping in to the breach and taking the reigns ((I'm mixing my metaphors again...)) and ensuring that the 1798th annual HivePUD ((if I read that bit correctly)) can indeed take place.

The community thanks and salutes you Ma'am 😀

[traciyork]

LOL! Nice job sliding in by the skin of your teeth, @stevenwood (now who's mixing martinis metaphors?)! Appreciate your very literal support (going by the excellent capture by your daughter) for HivePud, and it was my pleasure to ensure @streetstyle's legacy of doing his 1337th annual Power Up Day (you were close) stays intact. Thanks again, and happy Hiving dear fellow! 😊

[stevenwood]

Yush! I wasn't too disturbed though, I wouldn't describe myself as shaken and I was not stirred...

You see, you mentioned Martinis and I took that and I ma... Oh never mind, As Granny always used to say, "if you need to explain it Steven It isn't funny", well, it wasn't exactly my Granny, my Uncle used to dress up, but anyway I digress...

Thank's Traci, may your Hiving days be... Uhm... ((I gotta be honest I started that sentence without thinking up something clever for the end!))

Thanks for the epic engagement, consider yourself well met, your high energy levels have been duly noted and a diagnosis will be with you shortly. Wishing you and yours a fabulous weekend from me and mine, may the week that follows be even better 😎

[pingcess]

Woww,, I guess a lot joined this time 😍😍 so not just good luck to all of us who joined... But more of, Good luck to you and the team who facilitate 😁😁😁 thank you for continuing @streetstyle good work ❤️

[traciyork]

Yes, I'm wicked psyched to see how many people joined in this time, @pingcess! I can't wait until @streetstyle comes back and sees how everyone supported his awesome intiative! You're very welcome, and thanks in return for your support! 😊

[pingcess]

Im sureeee @streetstyle will be more than glad for continuing the work... Its really a help to those who are joining coz there's push to PU... It's not just fun of winning,,, but more of fun of achieving... 😍😍 im a minnow now btw! 😁😁😁

[traciyork]

That's awesome, @pingcess - congrats! And thanks so much for your kind words - I really appreciate it! 💜

[bhoa]

I don't know how I missed this .. was too busy sorting out newbies.. will definitely power up now

[traciyork]

With how many people you're onboarding right now, I'm surprised you even have time to even breath, let alone keep up with all the Hive happenings! Thanks for everything you're doing to expand our wonderful community, and appreciate you powering up, @bhoa!

[justclickindiva]

I HPUDed, lol And placed my link under original announcement. Also revised my tag so I can be sure you'll find me. Thanks again for the reminder. Have a great rest of your week.

[traciyork]

I was so relieved when I saw your name pop up on the #HivePUD tag list...lol! Thanks in return for participating, and you have an awesome rest of your week too! 😊

[justclickindiva]

No. Thank you for alerting me because I wrote the rules in my post, lol. Then didn't follow my own advice. Take care. I hope one of our Redfish win any one of the sponsored prizes. The young accounts need it the most. I'm just happy we have lots of participation by Terminal members. @brittandjosie is a great encourager and supporter. She works tirelessly to help them understand how increased HP can help them grow quicker.

[robwillmann]

This is great. I just found out about this. I've been powering up ALL of my Hive as I earn it, so that my voting power is maxed.

However, I may start saving it up and powering up on the first of the month, since now I know there's a prize involved. :D

Anyway, this is a fantastic initiative.

[traciyork]

I used to do the same thing (power up as I went) until @streetstyle started doing this last year. Even though I don't qualify for prizes any more, I still make sure I at least have a little something to power up on the first. And I'm so glad you found out about this, @robwillmann and thanks so much for jumping aboard! 😊

[seadbeady]

I am so glad that I decided to do the post too this time :)

[traciyork]

I'm glad too, @seadbeady! Thanks again! 😊

[improv]

Someone let me know when the final winner list is up!

[improv]

Do we have a winners list yet?
