Quarter 1 report for 2023

[luvshares]

The big picture of LUV

The goal and roadmap of LUVshares remains unchanged: to spread love around the Hive blockchain.

Since the last quarter's report, approximately 30,000 LUV tokens have been given out. Almost all were given out Hive-user-to-Hive-user by calling the !LUV command. That's around 333 every day, person-to-person, each time saying, "Here, have some LUV."

Graph 2

_{The circulating supply of LUV. This is the amount of LUV minted. Most tokens are in Hive wallets, except for those in the @LUVshares account which are waiting to be emitted by the LUVbot.}

Notes:

• Bad news/good news. The bad news is that the farming/pilfering/stealing of LUV has returned. If you look at Graph 1 above, you can see an obvious spike in emissions toward the later dates (the past two or three weeks). A ring of users, likely one person, has been using multiple alt usernames to farm the token. About 80 alt names were uncovered, there are likely more. It's just sad. Worse, this person then dumped them on the market and tanked the LUV value. The dump is rather obvious in the market chart below. LUV really has larger goals beyond market price, but still, it's just sad. Now, the good news! The crypto winter may be over! If someone is willing to go to a lot of trouble and time and effort and user accounts to steal a token worth less than a penny...then there must be hope!
• Can you help stop this type of token farming? Yes. Join the LUVHBIT Discord and occasionally glance at the luv-log. Another place to look is https://he.dtools.dev/@luvshares?symbol=LUV. If you see repetitive giving to the same person, reach out to @crrdlx. If you really want to dig in, reach out to me or @wesphilbin and join the "Inspectors Discord" which exists for this purpose.
• More good news. From the transparency department, I/we (the admins at the LUVHBIT Discord) have set up the @LUVfund. It's still being fleshed out, but it's a reserve of LUV. The purpose is, on occasion, to grant LUV "scholarships" to users or projects that fit well with LUV's mission.
• One thing I find exciting is the new PeakD Open Project chat tool. The LUV (and HBIT) community chat page is at https://chat.peakd.com/t/hive-159259/0 and you're invited to join! Say "hello!" - I'd love to chat with you there. If you go there, login with Keychain, then at some point you'll likely need to select "decode". Then select "General" and you'll see the chat. Just realize, it is currently in alpha testing stage.

Best practices

I'd like to emphasize one point for LUV:

1. Leave an upvote.
2. Leave an authentic, genuine comment.
3. Include the LUV command.

The purpose of LUV is to share love on the Hive chain, not really to share a token. The token is simply a digital manifestation of that love, something "digitally tangible" if there is such a thing. Thus, the real comment is the key for LUV.

Summary and final thoughts

LUV continues to grow. At times, it's frustrating, especially when abused. But, to create something that others use daily, something that is positive and wholesome has been very rewarding.

Hi, I just have a quick question. Do I need to request the LUV legend badge or is supposed to be an automatic feature? I only ask because it hasn't shown up on my account.

[savvytester]

While I noticed that @luvshares already issued the LUV Legend badge to you, I still want to answer your question. 😅 You need to manually apply for the badge by tagging @crrdlx or @luvshares on a comment (or post). 🤗

Have some !LOLZ with !LUV! 😁

[zonadigital21]

Cuantos luv tengo que tener en mi wallet para tener la insignia ?

[savvytester]

You need at least 750 !LUV on your #HiveEngine wallet and tag @crrdlx or @luvshares about it to get the LUV Legend Badge. 🤓

Have some !PIZZA with !LOLZ! 😁

[zonadigital21]

I share with you a !LUV with !HUG! 🤗

HUG is a new #HiveEngine tipping token which you can tip once a day to other Hive users without any requirement. 🤓 You can tip that token twice a day if you hold 3 of that token, and thrice a day if you hold 10 of that token. 😏

[zonadigital21]

For the HUG token, do they also give a badge?

[zonadigital21]

I have already bought some !HUG

[zonadigital21]

Thank you very much for telling me, I will see if I can buy some tokens.

[hug.bot]

Dear @zonadigital21, you just got hugged.
I sent 1.0 HUG on behalf of @savvytester.

[zonadigital21]

Thank !LUV

[savvytester]

You actually have more than 789 !LUV on your #HiveEngine wallet. 😆

Anyway, @crrdlx was last online on Hive 20 hours ago, and I assume he would be online after a few hours to give you your LUV Legend badge. 😎

Have some !LOLZ too! 😁

[zonadigital21]

Thank you very much, I already have my !LUV badge.

[crrdlx]
