It's here! Hive Power Up Day for September 1st, 2023

in Hive Powerlast year

HivePUD is here September 1st 2023 blog graphic.png

 
 

This past month was eventful, to say the least! Not only did we have a bit of a hiccup with my faithful numbers guy @abh12345 when he lost access to some of the data he uses for our results, Comcast also decided it was a good time to do work in our area, so my internet was ridiculously cranky. But my connection finally started connecting, and @arcange saved the day (and is now our new numbers guy), so I really can't complain. Not that I'll stop whining any time soon, mind you. 😊

This past weekend was also hella busy, as I was given the incredible opportunity to help man the Hive booth at the Rare Evo convention in Denver. I'm still in the process of going through all the pictures I took, but keep your eyes open for a post (or three) about my experience there. In a word, it was...

 

 

Now the business at hand - while it's still not midnight in my neck of the woods (I'm posting this just after 11pm EST), #HivePUD for September 1st 2023 has already arrived in other parts of the world. If you want a super cool way to check if it's officially in your area according to UTC time (which is how the Hive Buzz badges are determined), be sure to check out the Countdown Timer on the hivebuzz.me site (under the green "Power Up" tab), courtesy of the awesomesauce team at @hivebuzz!

HivePUD TL;DR

  • If you want to qualify for the AMAZING Hive Power Up Day badge(s), your power up must happen during the 24 hours of September 1st 2023 according to UTC time.

and/or

  • If you want to qualify for the #HivePUD prize pool, your power up and post must happen (according to criteria listed below) during the hours of September 1st 2023, your local time.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

In October 2022, because of the continuing (and awesome) uptick in participation, I tweaked the timeline of the Power Up Day results to give me a couple extra days to put things together after my numbers guy sends me the raw data.

 

Now, for the basic Power Up Day details...

 
 

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.

If you'd like more in depth information about Power Up Day, please check out this post from July 2021.

 
 

What are the rules to win prizes for HivePUD?

UPDATED As of July 2022

The requirements are:

  1. Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70 and your account must be in good standing with the community.
  2. Your total HIVE Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
  3. You must power up at least 10 Hive on September 1st (and must NOT be powering down).
  4. You must write a post about your power up on September 1st with at least 1 of these 3 tags - #HivePUD (International), #HispanicHPUD (Hispanic), or #HPUD (General) as one of your first 5 tags (tagging only in the body of the post doesn't count).

To clarify - your Power Up Day post doesn't have to be just about your power up. You're welcome to just include a bit about it at the beginning/end of an unrelated post. For example, "Here are some pictures of my cute cats and oh yeah, here's a screencap of my power up today." Just be sure it's posted on the first, and has the correct tag(s). 😊
 

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.

Also, while it hasn't been a rule (yet), this initiative has always been geared towards helping individual accounts, not groups or communities. A couple of times over the years, a community has ended up in the top 3, but were not awarded prizes. This is a heads up that next month, I'll be added it to the rules that only individual accounts will be able to qualify.

And to make it clear what's changed about the rules, I've bolded the two bits in rules #1 and #3. I think it's pretty self-explanatory why I've added those in, but please feel free to shout out if you any questions about it.

Oh, and a bit of a clarification as I haven't mentioned it for a minute - your Power Up Day post doesn't have to be just about your power up. You're welcome to just include a bit about it at the beginning/end of an unrelated post. For example, "Here are some pictures of my cute cats and oh yeah, here's a screencap of my power up today." Just be sure it's posted on the first, and has the correct tag(s). 😊

I thought I could never make a post for this month’s HPUD. And I am thankful I was able to join the HPUD before the timer ends. Happy Hive Power Up Day!
!PIZZA

It always feels good to join the league of Hiveans up holding the monthly #HPUD tradition.

Wow, I am excited about this initiative. Happily, I powered up for the first time on the 1st of September which makes me even more excited.

May the Hive power always be with us.

Honestly, I was so excited about Power Up Day, I powered up for the first time.

Thank you for the great job you're doing. I was able to power up for the first time, I thought I was not going to be able to, but I did.

Amazing! I'm so glad to join the power up day. Here's my first power up and I set my goal to always double my stake each month,I started with 30 hives.

I'm hoping bang 5k HP before my first hive birthday. Thanks so much @traciyork this post was so helpful

August flew by!!!
🗓💨

Happy Hive Power Up Day,
Everyone!
#HPUD

Wow it’s September already!

Good luck everyone and let's join hive power up day to grow our account. I just powered up! Now it's your turn.

goods jhob work bro

Empowering the hive, happy Powerupday @traciyork 🎉

Hey there gorgeous!
So great to see you again, I've been missing your face!

I finally got back in time for a hivePUD and I PUD'd up 40 (I hope that it worked its been so long...)

And just finished work and raced home to quickly chuck up a HivePUD post before I turn back into a pumpkin...lol...
And Happy HivePUD day to you too!

You and your team is doing incredibly well. With the increase in participants a delay in announcement makes complete sense.

More powers to you

Happy hive power-up day
I would like to ask after making my article on HPUD is it automatically detected as an entry for the contest or should I share the post link somewhere?
Thank you

Thanks for checking @oadissin, but when my numbers guy pulls the data, any posts with the correct hash tags will be included. No need to share the link anywhere. 😊

However, so you're aware, because your reputation is above 70, your name will be included in the secondary prize pool. And thanks for powering up today!

Thank you very much
Good day to you

Looking forward to the pics of Rare Evo!

I have almost 400 shots to go through, so it might take me a minute. Although, given about 390 of them were from the plane ride, might not be too long after all. 😉 😂

(did I mention it'd been almost 20 years since my last flight? 😊 )

Am late to the party but thanks Traci, I have powered up and hit 6k woop woop.

Thanks to all the sponsors and well done who powers up daily and/or on HivePUD!

Happy HivePUD

Just finishing my post in minutes before midnight for this PUD! Happy to be adding my little bit to the prize poll 💙

I was going to do another "DELAYED, Coming Soon" posts, but I'm short on time as it is, so I did a quick shout out on Twitter instead. 😄

Thanks again to @arcange, @erikah, and @livinguktaiwan for their patience and assistance! 🥰🥰🥰

 
 

Twitter? 🤔

I joined in August 2008, almost a full year before RocketMan. Therefore, I claim the right to continue to call it Twitter while waiting for Elon to realize his mistake. 😂
