After installing Streamlabs recently over the usual OBS, I started fidgeting with some loyalty points it has available to be used and set up. Figured that instead of just sending tips that come 7 days after a stream through @commentrewarder I may also try and reward people watching with Hive in different ways, at the same time this may also entice viewers to create a hive account if they happen to stick to my stream and want to claim their points eventually, they'd need to create a hive account which we can easily set them up with!
Introducing Hivebits!
These are just simple points, they're generated based on people watching the stream at a rate of 1 point every 5 minutes.
I can see the current top list on my streamlabs page:
There may be some caveats to them, such as you have to chat a little here and there to earn points, it doesn't give me a lot of info and probably for the best not to make that completely public as to entice abuse and farms.
With the way things stand at this point, I was thinking that whenever someone claims 100 points they'd get a 10 Hive reward. Then to avoid people claiming every 100 points we may do something like if you wait to claim until you have 1000 points you may get 110 hive instead of just 100.
Some gamification never hurt!
We may also adjust the rewards over time based on the price of hive, etc, but give people a warning in time so they can claim if they want.
When claiming it'll give an alert and soundbite on the stream as well which is kind of fun! I don't even remember the sound I added for it to do but let's get surprised/scared the first time it happens I suppose!
How can you participate?
Simply coming to the stream when I'm live and chatting a little here and there and watching the stream grants you points. You can check your point count at any time by using the command "!points" in the chat or "!top" to see the top point holders as shown in the screenshot above.
As things stand right now, every 100 points will let you claim 10 hive!
There's also other ways to earn hivebits!
By subscribing to the channel you get 10 hivebits instantly.
Then later when the channel is monetized, you can get 100 hivebits by becoming a member of the channel (I think it costs $2/month), sending a supermessage (a donation followed with a message) gets you 50 hivebis, etc.
Check out the channel and subscribe and I'll see you in the next stream, this one was the second one from today:
It was fun shooting the shit and talking Pokemon/Holozing and such and love the ideas you were mentioning! Keep up the streams!
Sounds great, I agree keep not public the criteria... Claim at 100 instead of 10 looks good too
The stream times are just super bad for me, it would be good your early morning, I always tought you were like Scandinavian till stream times lol
in Asia these days:D
Ahh itinerant!

This is the first time I missed your stream, two on the same day. Gotta ask my YouTube notification to wake me up when you're on live, lol. Next time.
Honestly, this looks like such a vibe. 😎 Getting rewarded just for hanging out and vibing with the stream?? Count me in!!
Ohh..a YouTube gaming stream..
Let's see how much points I can rack up..
I missed this one, there must be a way to know when you broadcast, or is it meant to be random?
it's a bit random for now yeah, if we start seeing a lot of recurring viewers i may start streaming at a more consistent time
Greetings, whenever I can I will be there to support you in any way I can.
I will surely check it out; seems like a good initiative.
Damn, I missed a day and see what happens...
I'll have to try catch your next stream. Rarely check Youtube honestly, I should probably dual stream to twitch and Youtube myself. Been meaning to revive my channel for a while now.
I've been very reluctant to integrate or even talk about crypto on my streams. I can't really be arsed trying to baby sit people through signing up and learning how to work with crypto and all that, It's too much hassle for me right now.
If I figure out a nice setup perhaps I will make something similar to what you are doing maybe also have like hive accounts redeemable too got a bunch of tokens lol.
Not before finish me 300 other projects related to improving my stream though haha.
I'm a hive witness supporting the blockchain please consider voting for me! - Find out more here!
