ANNOUNCEMENT POST - Hive Power Up Day, November 1st 2021
In just under a week, the next Hive Power Up Day (aka #HIvePUD) will be here! In fact, the @hivebuzz countdown timer is now ticking down the days. Be sure to check it out on the HiveBuzz site (under the "Challenges" tab) so you don't miss your chance to earn a badge while you power up and build your Hive account!
As I mentioned in July's announcement post, I've changed things up a bit with these Power Up Day posts. I'm now excluding all my usual Power Up Day info (other than the basics and the prizes) and at some point soon it will be posted as one FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) reference that I will link to from here on out.
For the moment, if you'd like more information about Power Up Day, please check out the Announcement post from July 2021. And speaking of, here are some announcements for this month...
Did I mention these are the Announcements? :)
- The payout from this post (aka the beneficiaries) is split equally between the three winners from October's HivePUD, so @tdctunes, @shauner, and @new.things will each get 33%.
- The payout for the next post ("Welcome to HivePUD" on the 1st) will go to the top 3 winners of @victoriabsb's Hispanic #HPUD initiative (also 33% each).
- The payout for the Unofficial Winners post on the 3rd or 4th will go to @steevc's project, @tenkminnows.
- The payout for the Official Winners post will go 80% to me, and 20% to my numbers guy @abh12345.
- Prizes Added! Last month, after a couple of sponsors decided to take a break, I found a couple other people who graciously agreed to sponsor new prizes. Check out the details about @raymondspeaks and @apeminingclub's offerings in the prize list below, and again thank you both!
- Hive Power Up Month by @hivebuzz After getting an awesome response from the first Hive Power Up Month in September, the wicked cool team at @hivebuzz are doing it again for November. Be sure to keep your eyes on their profile for more details (or check out the announcement post from the original).
What is HivePUD?
Hive Power Up Day happens on the first of every month. Those who are able to, take this time to power up some Hive, and/or cancel their power downs and pause trading/selling for the 24 hour span of the day.
How to qualify for HivePUD prizes
- Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70.
- Your total Hive Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
- You must power up at least 10 Hive on November 1st.
- You must write a post about your power up on November 1st (your local time) with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Spanish).
To be included in the winners list, you must meet all four requirements above. The order of the list (first place, second place, and so on) will be determined by the biggest PERCENTAGE of Hive powered up, not necessarily the most Hive powered up.
How to get HiveBuzz badges
For details, check their post from last month, Feedback from the October 1st Hive Power Up Day as well as their Power Up Day Helper Badge post but essentially -
- Power up a minimum of 10 HIVE during the UTC time for the first of the month. Convert your local time to UTC or check the countdown timer on the Hive Buzz site (under the "Challenges" tab) to confirm it's during the first UTC time before you power up.
