✨ Hive Outreach and Onboarding Contest ✨

It's been a while since we shared about our onboarding contest with @valueplan, and today we're excited to reveal the winners. We noticed many of you showed interest in the announcement post and shared it to raise more exposure for the contest but not many have accomplished to join it at all. We are going to address some of your feedback below.

Luckily, some of you successfully participated and even shared their experiences in the summary posts. We'll pass these on to witnesses, apps, and projects on Hive to help improve the system.

Hive Concurso de divulgación e incorporación

Ha pasado un tiempo desde que compartimos sobre nuestro concurso de onboarding con @valueplan, y hoy estamos muy contentos de revelar los ganadores. Nos dimos cuenta de que muchos de ustedes mostraron interés en el post de anuncio y lo compartisteis para dar más difusión al concurso, pero no muchos han logrado participar. Vamos a abordar algunos de sus comentarios a continuación.

Por suerte, algunos de vosotros habéis participado e incluso compartieron sus experiencias en los posts de resumen. Las transmitiremos a testigos, apps y proyectos en Hive para ayudar a mejorar el sistema.

Usuarios, desarrolladores, apps y testigos de la mano:
¡Juntos podemos mejorar el proceso de onboarding!

Issues noted by participants

Before we announce the winners, let's summarize the feedback we've received regarding onboarding. It boils down to a few major issues on the Hive platform's side and potential issues on the end user's side. While we can't change the local systems of new Hivers, we can focus on discussing improvements needed on the Hive platform itself.

Traducción al español

Cuestiones señaladas por los participantes

Antes de anunciar los ganadores, vamos a resumir los comentarios que hemos recibido sobre la incorporación. Se reducen a unos cuantos problemas importantes por parte de la plataforma Hive y a posibles problemas por parte del usuario final. Aunque no podemos cambiar los sistemas locales de los nuevos Hivers, podemos centrarnos en debatir las mejoras necesarias en la propia plataforma Hive.

There have been 3 used platforms and a few notes about the problems:

Platform	Success per Try	Notes when failed
hiveonboard.com	0/1	@elisaday7 wrote: The application was the first to show the lack of ticket for the creation of new accounts
ecency.com	1/2	@elisaday7 wrote: ecency on the other hand took a long time to open, perhaps because of the delay of the internet. @irenenavarroart wrote: I have had experience helping other friends create accounts in the past, one of the things that happens with Ecency is that sometimes when filling out the account creation form account, that is, the first step is to choose the username and enter the email address, it usually happens that the page throws an error which says that there is a problem with the IP...

In direct messages, we've received feedback from numerous users who struggled to onboard someone. This shouldn't occur on a social platform like Hive. Specifically:

1. IP-blocking
2. phone verification
3. the need to pay
4. and missing account creation tokens

... pose significant barriers for many users. Without providing truly free accounts for everyone at every time, widespread adoption of the platform will remain limited. While we understand the technical challenges and concerns about potential abuse by bot accounts, are these issues truly more detrimental than the gradual decline of a social platform because only a few are able / allowed to join it? We tried to keep this post positive but as you can read it is very hard to do so.

Also, we believe there's no need to delve into the emotional experience of attempting to onboard individuals, especially when the application fails or refuses to create an account. Follwing a sentence by @elisaday7 that scratches the surface of the situation pretty well:

They were desperate moments for me almost an hour trying to open their accounts...

Traducción al español

En mensajes directos, hemos recibido comentarios de numerosos usuarios que tuvieron problemas para incorporar a alguien. Esto no debería ocurrir en una plataforma social como Hive. En concreto, el bloqueo de IP, la verificación telefónica, la necesidad de pagar y la falta de tokens de creación de cuenta suponen barreras importantes para muchos usuarios. Si no se ofrecen cuentas realmente gratuitas para todos en todo momento, la adopción generalizada de la plataforma seguirá siendo limitada. Aunque entendemos los retos técnicos y la preocupación por los posibles abusos de las cuentas bot, ¿son estos problemas realmente más perjudiciales que el declive gradual de una plataforma social porque sólo unos pocos pueden / se les permite unirse a ella? Hemos intentado que este post sea positivo, pero como puedes leer es muy difícil hacerlo.

Además, creemos que no es necesario ahondar en la experiencia emocional que supone intentar dar de alta a personas, especialmente cuando la solicitud falla o se niega a crear una cuenta. A continuación una frase de @elisaday7 que araña bastante bien la superficie de la situación:

Fueron momentos desesperantes para mí casi una hora intentando abrir sus cuentas...

🏆 Results

We want to thank everyone who tried to join this competition regardless of the issues on the way through signup. We know of a handful of Hivers who tried but failed to join the competition at all. This is not a state Hive can stay for long as we need new users floating in regularly and this is not sure yet. We take your feedback very seriously and will forward it to the right persons.

---

But 2 people successfully onboarded two new Hivers each through this competition, bringing a total of four new DIYers with exciting talents and energy to post on Hive. Impressively, all of the new Hivers have already exceeded the mandatory first DIY post, indicating their commitment to staying on the platform.

Resultados

Queremos dar las gracias a todos los que han intentado participar en este concurso, a pesar de los problemas surgidos durante el proceso de inscripción. Sabemos de un puñado de Hivers que lo intentaron pero no consiguieron unirse a la competición en absoluto. Este no es un estado en el que Hive pueda permanecer por mucho tiempo ya que necesitamos nuevos usuarios flotando regularmente y esto no es seguro todavía. Nos tomamos muy en serio tus comentarios y los transmitiremos a las personas adecuadas.

Sin embargo, 2 personas consiguieron incorporar a dos nuevos Hivers cada una a través de este concurso, lo que supone un total de cuatro nuevos DIY con interesantes talentos y energía para publicar en Hive. Resulta impresionante que todos los nuevos Hivers hayan superado ya la primera publicación DIY obligatoria, lo que indica su compromiso de permanecer en la plataforma.

🎟️ Special prize for new Hivers

On top of the prizes for our onboarders below, @tibfox will delegate 1000 HP to every onboarded user for 3 months as long as they post new content regularly 🎊

Traducción al español

Premio especial para los nuevos Hivers

Además de los premios para nuestros usuarios incorporados, @tibfox delegará 1000 HP a cada usuario incorporado durante 3 meses, siempre que publique contenido nuevo con regularidad 🎊.

🎉 Winners

We considered various factors such as post formatting, level of detail, use of graphics, the onboarded accounts, and more in our evaluation. @irenenavarroart wrote an ourstanding post with very much detail but she did not onboard new users in the course of this contest and therefore wasn't qualified. That's why we only had 2 valid onboarding summaries and decided to split the prize pool between the two 🥳

Make sure to read the valuable posts linked below as they include interesting details about the onboarding and their newly onboarded friends!

And here is the list of winners and their prizes that will get transferred by @valueplan soon:

Prize	Onboarder	new Hivers	Onboarding summary post
🥇 300 HBD	@elisaday7	@milaxi @zetnuel04	DIYHUB Outreach Contest: Incorporation of new users to Hive
🥇 300 HBD	@divergente1	@crismar26 @leonellyscova	Outreach Contest: Post Summary

Traducción al español

Ganadores

En nuestra evaluación hemos tenido en cuenta varios factores, como el formato de las publicaciones, el nivel de detalle, el uso de gráficos, las cuentas incorporadas, etc. @irenenavarroart escribió un post excepcional con todo lujo de detalles pero no hizo onboarding de nuevos usuarios en el transcurso de este concurso y por lo tanto no se clasificó. Es por eso que sólo teníamos 2 resúmenes de onboarding válidos y decidimos dividir el premio entre los dos 🥳 Asegúrate de leer sus valiosos posts, enlazados a continuación, ya que incluyen detalles interesantes sobre la incorporación y sus nuevos amigos.

@divergente1 @elisaday7 Hey you both winners! @tibfox here :)

First I want to say sorry that you are waiting for so long on the prize money!

The contest prizes are part of @valueplan and they assured me that they will send the prizes to both of you. It just takes more time than expected for them. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the long delay. But we trust the Valueplan team of course and just wait here together with you.

I can relate and understand that you are probably not happy with the situation. Unfortunately, we are not in charge of the prize money but I ask them (@valueplan) on a regular basis. Thanks for waiting and again sorry for the delay. If you want to have a chat with someone from Valueplan in person please join our DIYHub Discord Server and I will forward you to them.

As a side note: @foxkoit is asking in our discord server daily and he is not very polite in his wording and emoji usage. If you are in contact with him in person please let him know that this is not his prize money and that he will not make the situation any better by putting pressure and anger on us.

@foxkoit: This pressure brings us to think about not doing further contests with partners like Valueplan and such high prize pools anymore. We are all here to have fun and earn a bit while doing what we do (while the diyhub contest team does without any rewards in return and just for the community). This kind of pressure and negativity is unhealthy for us, Hive, and everyone else involved.

^{Yes I (@tibfox) decided to put a screenshot of the most recent conversation by @foxkoit here because our general chat is an open and friendly room so why not putting it here on Hive for all eternity as well.}

Thanks again for your patience and trust!

Hi, Well Hive is a channel to grow together. The truth is I don't know how to organize a contest and the respective alliances that are made for the contests. (Surely it is very complicated) Maybe you should first have a fund before making the contests. (Just a suggestion) I am sorry that you are going through this and I know that little by little the channel will continue to grow and will have the necessary resources, I am sorry that you don't have the funds. I am a witness that Diyhub always pays its contests and I am sure that as soon as the resources arrive it will send it to the winning users.

But considering that the contest started in February it is quite some time to date to have the funds, unfortunately it is out of hand. So peace and quiet please

Almost a month ago they sent me a message by discord informing me that they did not have the funds, that we had to wait! In fact we are still waiting! It is only important to have continuity in the information, not to let so many days pass to give a report on the current information about the payment of the contest, because it makes us users see that this has been forgotten, surely it is the opposite, I'm sure of it!

Diyhub is a responsible community in its payments always. In fact it is one of the communities that generally does contests every month, I don't want to be the rock so that this doesn't keep happening, as this always keeps the community active. I apologize to @foxkoit and @tibfox for maybe causing the inconvenience in some way, but many things also need to be corrected, such as communication regarding payment. Regards

Thank you and have a nice day.

[tibfox]

@divergente1 and @elisaday7 - You got something waiting in your wallet :)

[divergente1]

Thank you 😊

[foxkoit]

Funny man 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Take my text off from here ... you're trying to silence me for trying to ask and speak in a normal way.... you have been asked for a long time back politically correct how things move and this time is end now ..., this is no longer a matter of words, for you to use my words to correct your own mistake.... you move is stupid behavior. So take my words off from thispost .

[tibfox]

You did ask one time polite in the discord and here and then continued with this. I don't want to silence you - I just want other people to know that things they do in our open and polite discord server will remain open & transparent. Feel free to write us there or here as often as you want as long as you keep being polite. If you act rude anywhere you will need to face the consequences. This counts for public Discord servers, Hive, your daily life - everywhere you will need to check your language.

We do not have any agreement/rule in the public chat that messages can not be used anywhere. Some servers have this but we do not. Discord is just a funnel of communication for us. What you write there you could also just write as a comment so your message in the image belongs here on Hive.

The reason I have put your messages here is that I want to show the two winners (you defend here) how you act in case they are connected to you in any way. They both are not in our discord and they are the ones who are involved in this and should know about it.

[elisaday7]

thanks for making my day @tibfox it was a nice experience for me this contest on @DiyHub. God's timing is perfect, I appreciate the nice response you sent to my discord while everything was sorted out ,there are always inconveniences that are out of our hands.Keep supporting the projects of the communities that make life in #hive through @valueplan .

[divergente1]
