A new project (apishive.blog) launched to provide help and support (by delegating HP) to beginners on Hive has outlined the requirements necessary for someone to participate.
FAQ:
What are the program criteria you mentioned?
When you’re collecting and growing the Bees ie before you get any Honey Pot delegations, you need to be
- rep 40 and above
- be active in posting, curating and engaging
- not participate on any form of abuse or create low quality content
- no self voting
- have at least 30 HP staked
- not powering down
- not liquidise any rewards
- not delegate out more than 30% of your staked HP
No self voting is one of the items.
It seems that new accounts on Hive are being directed from the beginning to the correct way of thinking about life on Hive.
Is it OK for old accounts with hundreds of HP to vote for themselves, everyone has a choice. None of us knows what shoes another Hive is in and what his path is.
I have never done it (except maybe a few times, when fat fingers were to blame, which I immediately canceled).
I don't vote for myself, because I believe that the community will recognize and reward the posts I write.
If that weren't the case, what would stop me from converting most of my $ into HP, boosting my HP a lot, and living only from curating, without posts (or with occasional posts), with the occasional self-voting on some short comments?
PS. I would recommend accounts with a large amount of HP to check out Apishive.blog and provide occasional support to those young and small accounts, who are on the right path to Hive progress.
