HBIT Hivebits quarter report

The big picture of HBIT

Hivebits was born on 1/1/2022 and came after its big sister, LUV. Whereas LUV is about giving to others and expecting nothing in return, HBIT is about your effort earning you a reward. It follows the proof-of-work concept that bitcoin established...if you put in the effort, you earn something in return. So, the only way an HBIT gets into a wallet is by someone's purposeful effort, somewhere, at some point on the Hive blockchain. This makes HBIT different.

The intent is to keep Hivebits/HBIT easily available to everyone. To "mine" HBIT, all that is needed is (1.) a Hive account and (2.) to use a command such as !HBIT posted on the Hive blockchain. Simple, your effort, your reward.

Since 9/10/2022, HBIT has been integrated into Wusang: Isle of Blaq. WUSANG is the World's Ultra Simple Asset Numbers Game.

Graph 2 - circulating supply

The circulating supply of HBIT. This is the amount of HBIT minted, but not necessarily in circulation. Most tokens are in Hive wallets, except for those in the @Hivebits account which are on standby waiting to be released when a Hive user calls the HBITbot.

Quick hits

  • Between late October and December, Hivebits/HBIT was down. Something happened and the bot was dead. After about two months and a lot of head banging, it was up and running again. You can read details at the blog of @crrdlx.
  • The graphs and numbers above reflect this outage clearly. Since the main premise of HBIT is that it is only emitted into the wild via someone's effort, zero were released during the downtime.
  • As a note, I'd personally caution against merely glancing at the graphs trending downward and concluding, "Ohh, that's bad." I would disagree for a few reasons...
  1. The large spike in HBIT's early history may look positive, but it was due largely to token mining by bad actors farming Hivebits. It's a false increase in my mind.
  2. The zero emission during the downtime reflects the premise of HBIT: it only gets released when it is mined. This rule is hard and fast.
  3. Less emission means greater scarcity and that's always a good thing for holders.

Notably, the @Wusang game is still not up-and-running. That will take a bit more finagling on my part. I hope to get it going again and tied back into HBIT in the future. The 50/50 randomness of maybe getting a bonus "treasure token" simply added a layer of fun to Hivebits mining. I'll work on it.


Different

I feel Hivebits/HBIT is different from many tokens and feel this point is worth emphasizing...

Every single HBIT that in someone's wallet exists because someone actually put in conscious effort to mine that coin. Every single one. Zero were airdropped. Zero were given away. Zero were earned through rewards or staking or interest without someone first mining that HBIT. If an HBIT is "out in the wild," it's there because someone took the purposeful effort to dig it out. Just as bitcoin is backed by the code and the work required to mine it, HBIT is backed by the effort required to earn it as well.

Looking forward

The goals are simple: keep HBIT going and try to get Wusang working.

Wusang richlist

Like when HBIT was down, Wusang currently is emitting zero tokens. Emission down; scarcity up. Consider those tokens lying on the Isle of Blaq, somewhere, but no one can find them!

For fun, let's check the Wusang tokens richlist:

Summary and final thoughts

Keep mining Hivebits/HBIT...one per person per day.

And, oh, since today is Jan. 1, it is @Hivebits second birthday! 😀 Happy birthday and happy new year!

Happy HiveBits birthday and Happy New Year! :)

Have you thought of maybe doing a HiveBits multiplier in lieu of the Wusang tokens? You might do that until Wusang is fixed, or maybe just do it for special events, or don't do it at all; just a thought! It works well in my projects and people seem to like getting the rare or epic or Legendary multiplier. It's also super easy to code! :)

Super-easy to code, hah! I say! 😀 My (@crrdlx) coding skills are rather limited! I get that that sort of randomness adds to the fun in things (exactly why I did Wusang), but I'm kind of stubborn in that I want to stick with 1.0 HBIT per command per day. I appreciate the idea and feedback though. !LUV

You're not stubborn, you just have a vision for Your project and you are sticking to it. That can be called determination! I applaud you and whatever decisions you make! :)

I appreciate your words and support. I wish you would talk to my wife. For years I've told her the same thing about being stubborn!

hola amigos, estoy interesado en el proyecto, cuantos HBIT necesito tener para poder usar el comando? !HBIT
casos de uso? quemado?

Hi, sorry this is late. I'm @crrdlx and I run Hivebits (HBIT). You don't need any HBIT to mine it! You can try it right now. Just post or reply with the command !HBIT and it should work. If you have any questions, ping me (@crrdlx).

Hola, lo siento por la tardanza. Soy @crrdlx y ejecuto Hivebits (HBIT). ¡No necesitas ningún HBIT para extraerlo! Puedes probarlo ahora mismo. Solo publica o responde con el comando !HBIT y debería funcionar. Si tienes alguna pregunta, escríbeme (@crrdlx).

Success! @hivebits(2/1) You mined .9 HBIT and the user you replied to received .1 HBIT on your behalf. You can receive 100% of the HBIT by replying to one of your own posts or comments. When you mine HBIT, you're also playing the Wusang: Isle of Blaq game. 🏴‍☠️
Sorry, but you didn't find a bonus treasure token today. Try again tomorrow...they're out there! You can see your random number generated in the Discord server, #hbit-wusang-log channel. | tools | wallet | discord | community | daily <><

Check for bonus treasure tokens by entering your username at an H-E explorer or take a look at your wallet.
