Ten HSBI and two DUO Token Giveaway Week 24!

thebighigg (73)in FreeCompliments • 3 months ago

Somehow Sunday snuck up on me again. Seems to come faster every week! As usual I'll be doing my HSBI giveaway again today. I believe in spreading around the wealth and helping out others here on Hive, and HSBI is a great way to build your account especially as a new member. And you can never have too many HSBI units!

About a year ago or maybe a little longer I started doing giveaways of HSBI. At the time I had 11 units total and wasn't getting many curations. Today I have 2,622 HSBI units, many from sponsoring giveaways and I was lucky to win a couple contests that paid out a couple hundred HSBI. I'm a big believer in the program!

Also I want to remind everyone that the DUO token raffle with three prizes of 50 DUO each ends this week. To participate you just need to sponsor any number of HSBI units to @duo-curator . You can also author a post about DUO as well for bonus entries. Check the post link for details if you're interested. So far there are only about 121 entries that I'm aware of so there's a good chance of winning one or more of the prizes. Right now DUO sells for one Hive each but will soon be going up to 1.5 when the current batch sells out! For full DUO info see more below and the whitepaper link is near the bottom of the post!

Last week's entry question was: what is your favorite wild animal. Here are some of the responses I got:

Otters took the top spot. There are many varieties of otter, these are sea otters. There are also the river varieties, but they are very cute little creatures. I've only ever seen one in the wild on a beach in Carmel, California back in the mid 90's when I was on vacation there. Most of the 90's I lived outside the US, but I came back for vacations from time to time! This was well after Clint Eastwood was the mayor of Carmel, that was back in the late 80's I believe.

The capybara is a cute animal that is from South America. It's closely related to the guinea pig and is the largest rodent species on earth. When I lived in South America I never saw any of these in the wild, but that would have been a lot fun.

Since I'm posting on InLeo and one pick was the lion I had to include one of these. This picture is amazing! How often do you see a lion in snow? I never have! They are a very large and dangerous animals, which is why they've been in many royal family's coat of arms over the centuries. I wouldn't want to get to close to one of these out on the African savannah!

Another pick was the wolf. They are pretty animals that were hunted to extinction here in the US at one time. They are being reintroduced into the wild, but I've never seen one or even heard one howl in the wild. Another animal that was hunted to extinction here in the US is the jaguar. Sadly they haven't been reintroduced yet, I hope they are at some point, very pretty animals!

We even had one pick as the cockroach. I'll pass on finding pictures to share of that species though.

Well, onto to today's contest!

Today's question: What is your favorite mythical creature or monster? It can be ancient from the time of the Greeks until today. Even Dracula and the Chupacabra are candidates!

There are some that argue that the Chupacabra is real but I'm not one of them! lol

For me this is a tough one because the Hydra was pretty cool. I think I would have to go with the Skin-walkers. Beasts that can appear as people then shapeshift into wolves. They are a Native American tradition particularly in the Navajo and tribes in the western US.

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:

Djinn Oshannus, last week one was won, I still have a few to give out! One of the better reward cards they have ever created!

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one: What is your favorite mythical creature or monster? It can be ancient from the time of the Greeks until today. Even Dracula and the Chupacabra are candidates!

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

One week from today which will be Sunday September 1, 2024 at 12 PM California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations @olaf.gui you have won 5 HSBI units!

And the second spin!

Congratulations @whywhy ! You have won 5 HSBI units!

And the third spin!

Last but not least, the fourth spin

Congratulations @henruc ! You have won your choice of a Djinn Oshannus card or one HSBI unit. Just let me know which you prefer and I'll get it sent off!

That will wrap up the post for today, once again congratulations to the lucky winners for this week. Thank you everyone for all of your support. It really is greatly appreciated! I continue this effort to help out people build their Hive accounts, especially the newer members. HSBI is a great way to build up a steady source of income from curations! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend, stay safe out there!

And since I am posting this in the #freecompliments community, I just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be kind today. Your kindness can make a big difference in someone's life!

I just saw a photo on Twitter… X… of Clint Eastwood. He is 92 years old and still directing movies. Getting up there, but still doing good.😊
Mythical creature, that would be Bigfoot!
Or maybe Bigfoot is real !!😳

Bigfoot maybe... If someone could get real evidence. I'm doubtful though. The Yeti on the other hand I think probably does exist, probably as a large ape and not white. They found some hairs from an unknow large primate not too far from Everest in the high forests. Interesting find!

Very interesting…… I guess if it does exist, it doesn’t want any interaction with humans!😇
