What is the Hive Torch? You can read the full story about Hive Torch but for simplicity the main theory is here
What is it about?
The idea is that someone sends you a number of Hive to your wallet, and you transfer it as fast as possible to someone trustful who will be then the next Hivetorch keeper. That´s it. Very simple, isn´t it.
The Hivetorch is a social experiment to demonstrate the speed and trust in transferring value on the Hive chain (I bluntly stole this phrase from @geekgirl but it simply nails it). It´s mostly about our community and not about collecting money (that is just a side aspect). It is not brought to you from a central instance which is spending tons of money to desparateley create some activity (like on the other chain), but it is an initiative from inside the community for the community (I am neither a whale nor a witness nor whatever).
Also I hope we can be adults and keep out politics this time!
How far we can go? 200 transfers, 500? Even 1000? And by when? The sky is the limit, if all work together!
The rules
If you got passed the Hivetorch to you, increase the amount by 1, leave it as it is, or add anything between 0 and 1. It is up to you. Don´t reduce the amount and don´t add more than 1 Hive - it is not about collecting money.
Send the Hives as soon as possible to someone who is active on Hive and whom you trust that he/she will follow the rules and forward the torch to the next one.
In the transfer, use this Memo
"Hivetorch - Count x - please read the rules at https://peakd.com/hive-147983/@stayoutoftherz/hivetorch"
whereby you increase the count no. by 1 (so if you got the memo with count "23" then put "24" in your memo).
Choose as the next Hivetorch keeper preferably someone who has not yet been selected and inform him/her about the transfer, so that the torch is kept in motion.
You are highly encouraged to create a post about the Hivetorch e.g. on peakd.com using the picture above or any other picture (the picture must contain both a torch and the Hive logo) and the tag #hivetorch. Please post it in the Hivetorch community.
After 333 transfers I will create a poll to let the community decide what to do next (continue, give the sum to a Hive-related project, distribute to minnows, burn it, etc.)
What Happened
Well @saffisara sent me 143 Hive from the Hive Torch, I slept a lot, spent the day working and then failed to read the instructions (@cadwawg will testify I never read instructions) and sent @enginewitty 150 Hive. To be fair the torch was really super hot and I burnt my hands on it, and with all the bandages and melting flesh it was really hard to type the right amount of Hive.
After totally messing up the amount of Hive to send, I then realised my post about it is supposed to have a Hive logo over the torch image of choice. Well the image is my own garden burner, but trying to get the technology to work to put the Hive logo over it somewhere at this time of night was beyond my patience - so you've got the Hive logo below it and you have to imagine that floating over the flame and the background going all transparent in an amazing awesome graphical experience.
What is the point
It shows that you can transfer Hive really fast multiple times, and the people that use the Hive Blockchain are really intelligent and can follow all the instructions without completely cocking it up (sorry -_-)

I thought the fire was blown by Justin and it stopped burning but after I encounter your post now. So the fire still burning on hive. 🤗
Ha! I'm glad I popped by to read this. You're hilarious. I don't read instructions very often either, so... relatable. ;)
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know every user has their own profile map?
And so does every post as well!
Want to have your post on the map too?
If there's anything I've learnt over the years it's that people are bad at following instructions and are prone to making mistakes. I foresee the torch being sent to a long dead account on accident some time in the future, if it hasn't happened once already.
Sorry it burnt your hardworking hands...😜 but the it is for a good cause. 🤗
