Ten HSBI and two DUO Token Giveaway Week 25!

in FreeCompliments3 months ago

Sunday yet again, seems to come faster and faster each week. Once again it is time for my weekly ten HSBI giveaway! I also give out two DUO tokens and a legendary Splinterlands card. It's a lot of fun to give back to Hive, so many people here have helped me along the way and I want to do the same for others. The way I see things you can never have too many HSBI, and it's a great way for newbies and veterans of Hive to increase their curation income.

So first up let's have a look at the highlighted results from last week. Last week's entry question was: What is your favorite mythical creature? Here are just some of the answers, there were some great picks! Some I expected and others I never saw coming.

Dragons

The most popular by far was dragons. Not Imagine Dragoons, just regular ones. It's not hard to see why, they are just plain cool! Maybe being the year of the dragon has something to do with it too. Or may it was that Game of Thrones show that I never got around to watching. It was on the to do list and still is, one of these days I'll get there.

Hydra

I had mentioned that I had considered picking the Hydra last week, and we did have one person choose this creature. What's not to like? It's a dragon with a whole lot of heads.

Kitsune

This Japanese mythical creature is known to be like a fox with multiple tails and shape shifting abilities. It's a great choice and two people picked this one. It is really cool!

Cheburashka

We had one even mention Cheburashka from @stdd . To be honest I had absolutely no idea what this one was. He did give Russian Wikipedia page which did me little good. The last time I dated a Russian woman was some 25 years ago so my Russian is pretty lousy. So I found the English version and it made things a lot easier! Turns out he is a fictional character from children's books from the 1960's but became a Russian icon. Kind of like the soviet version of Mickey Mouse.

Thanks for sharing this one @stdd , I learned something new so I guess the day hasn't been wasted!

Well, onto to today's contest!

Today's question: What is your favorite movie or television series that has come out this year?

I have some guesses what some responses will be already, but this should be a lot of fun! Right now I am watching a new series on Netflix that stars one of my favorite actors Jeff Goldblum. He plays the god Zeus in the show "Kaos". It's a fun show, kind of a modern take on the Greek gods. If you're a Jeff Goldblum fan you're sure to like it. It's a dark comedy that so far has been worth watching.

Movies I haven't really seen any in the theater this year, so I don't have a pick for this one. Let's see what you guys come up with!

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 movie or television series that has come out this year?

HSBI

If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

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 8, 2024 at 12 PM California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations @ronnie10 , you have won 5 HSBI units!

And the second spin!

Congratulations @coolmidwestguy ! You have won 5 HSBI units!

And the third spin!

Congratulations @moonthumb ! You have won 2 DUO tokens! This is the first time @moonthumb has entered and managed to pull off a win, that's awesome!

Last but not least, the fourth spin

Congratulations @stekene ,you have won either a Djinn Oshannus card or one HSBI unit, let me know which you want and I'll get it sent right 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 hope you all enjoy this little project of mine and that it's helping some of you out. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I look forward to seeing what kind of answers I'm going to see on this question!

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!

It's difficult to pick. I didn't watch many movies and all the series from 2024 weren't amazing. I liked 3 Body Problem but not enough to pick as a favorite. However, it has been a good year for Anime. For me, the best one was Solo Leveling. I didn't expect to like it so much but I got very hyped watching the first season and I can't wait for the second.

3 Body Problem was interesting, hopefully the season 2 will be worth watching!

Alien: Romulus

Got you down, haven't seen that one. I'll have to watch out for it!

Wow, you made me think. I haven't seen any favorite movie or series this year. I'll have to get into that. I've heard a lot about HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. I'd like to see it. I think that would be my favorite movie of 2024.
Regarding the DUO token, I really like the idea they're working on. I'll soon acquire my DUOS. SUCCESSES

Glad to hear your plants to pick up some more DUO, it's a great project that we're very proud to be running. I've not seen House of Dragon either, I wonder if it's good?

House of Dragon: I hope to see it soon to see how it is.

And as for DUO, the project looks very good, I hope to participate soon.

Thanks for the HSBI. I don't have anything for this week's question. The last series I watched was Dark Wind a native American series that came out in 2022. They haven't came out with a third season which is usually my luck haha. Haven't watched a movie that has come out this year either. If I watch any TV it is usually the history channel or sports.

You're welcome! You're probably to busy with the family to get much time watching TV. I like the history channel too, usually they have something good on there. How's the week treating you so far?

Yeah sometimes other things get in the way of getting into a new series or going to the movies or just watching one.

Oh steroid Tuesday is in the books, now I look forward to the weekend yet again, haha.

I don't watch TV recently, not in public one, or the cable one (i don't have cable tv, haha)
Also Netflix is still out of my budget to buy the subscription, so I don't have any expended movie that is going to be released this year. : )

Thank you so much for the DUO! Please add me to the notification list.

I don't watch that much TV and my favorite series is The Chosen, but it didn't come out new this year (this is Season 4). However, I can still use this for my answer, because it also came out as a movie (three actually). 😁

You're welcome! What network is The Chosen on? I don't think I've seen it. I'll get you on the tag list when I publish the next one on Sunday.

Last I checked, you could see episodes from the current season on The CW, Prime, Peacock (I think), and a few other streaming services. They also have their own app on Roku and Firestick where you can watch episodes back to season 1 in addition to their website, TheChosen.TV.

I'll have to look around for it then, thanks!

This year 🤔 hmmmmmm
Tv I haven’t watched anything brand new. Let me see 🤔 movie 🤔

It’s not great but out of the two movies I’ve seen that are 2024 releases I’ll say the new Alien movie. !PIMP

The Alien one sounds interesting. I'm waiting to see the Deadpool one on streaming. Besides that I'm not watching as much lately. Probably better uses for my time anyway! lol

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAG ME, I plan to be an active part of the DUO community

I don't watch series or movies now.. It's been a while. I think I don't have an answer to this.

Many thanks! I'm happy to see my name up there with the winners.

By the way, how do I claim my HSBI? I don't see them in my Hive-Engine wallet XD.

Since you haven't I'll throw you in for being honest! lol

It's automatic, I sent them off and they will build up curations periodically as you stack up more and more. If you want to see how many you have just use this call !sbi status

It will then send you a response of how many units you have and expected up votes

Oh! I didn't expect that.. Thanks. =D

I thought they were Hive-Engine tokens or something.. Let's see !sbi status

Hi @ronnie10!

  • you have 5 units and 0 bonus units
  • your rshares balance is 106632656309 or 0.027 $
  • you need to wait until your upvote value (current value: 0.009 $) is above 0.012 $



    Have you seen our website?
    It's a great resource to check your Hive SBI levels, along with your history of who has sponsored you and what upvotes we have provided you!

There you go! As you build up more and more the up votes go to daily and start climbing in value. One year ago I had 11 HSBI, then I started to do giveaways in the form of re-blog lotteries for about six months. Now I'm down to the weekly giveaway and sponsoring events. Every unit you sponsor gives you the matching amount in your account. So helping out someone else helps you in return!

It seems to me that the HSBI is not trade-able. I am unable to buy more of those.

To get more you need to sponsor another member, any member. You send one Hive or more to @steembasicincome and in the memo put the name of the person you want to sponsor. That person gets one unit (or more if you send more) and you get a matching number of units in your account.

Can I sponsor you before I delegate?

What should I write in the memo if I were to sponsor you?

They are non exchangeable and stay with your account. If you ever chose to change your main account you can contact them and they can transfer them to the new one.

Fair enough.

Thanks for letting me know =D

You call that easy???

Well I have to go with Deadpool & Wolverineuntitled.gif

I can't wait to see it when it comes on streaming!

so far my favorite movie this year was Inside out 2.

I haven't seen it yet, I'll probably check it out when it's finally on streaming at some point.

Hmmm……..🤔
I can’t say we have been watching any “New series” but one we have been glued to is Outsiders starring David Morse.
It’s a story of an off an off grid Appalachian clan. A powerful mining company is determined to remove them from the Coal rich mountain!👍

Sounds like a good one. Don't think I've ever seen that one!

Highly recommended, very interesting depiction of this Appalachian clan’s battle with a coal company!👍

I guess Dragon House

Good choice!

You received an upvote of 93% from Precious the Silver Mermaid!

Please remember to contribute great content to the #SilverGoldStackers tag to create another Precious Gem.

Thanks for the prize in advance! If still possible, I would rather have the hsbi :D
About the series or films, I don't watch any, so really a difficult question 😅
As I had no inspiration, I let Hive (aka the comments here) inspire me and go for House of the Dragons. It sounds like a medieval series with some phantasy, two aspects I eventually like ^^

No problem, I'll send that off right now! Good answer, people have been struggling with this question for some reason so you're not alone!
