My introduction post

waalie (48)in #introduceyourself • 4 years ago (edited)

@indayclara asked me to write an introduction post. It's an honour.

Waalie

I call myself Waalie. I live in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Indeed the city next to the Waal. That declares my nickname.

Hobbies

literature, cycling, philosophy and writing.

Discovering of Hives

I discovered Hives out of my interest in cryptocurrency. I think it’s a great platform to bring a bit more attention to my own blogs. And an opportunity to blog about topics which are new for me.

Learning about Ecency, PeakD

At the same time, I'm still learning a lot about Ecency, PeakD and other platforms. And I still have a lot of questions. For example:

What is the difference between Hives, HBD and HP?
How does voting work with blogs?
What communities are there?
Are there communities in Dutch?
What are voiting manna and resource credits?

And much more. I’m going to read the newbie guide soon. If anyone has other reading tips, I'd love to hear them.

Hello, I've been once to Nijmegen, while living in the Netherlands for some time, lovely city! I hope this will be as clear as possible for 1 am :)

Hive is a main liquid currency with value that changes over time, HP i staked form of Hive, it's locked for 13weeks, with power-down period unlocking 1/13 of Hive every week. HP gives you more influence over the platform. HBD is a currency pegged to 1$ worth of Hive giving you around 7% yearly when transfered to savings.
The higher your HP the more your vote is worth. There are up and down votes and after 7days these are balanced and send to your account, you can choose if you want 100% HP reward or 50/50 with HPD. In general the better quality of your content, the higher earnings, but tags are also important. There is curation mechanisms giving back around 50% of the vote value, it incentives voting for good content, in reality it's slightly more complex, you'll get to this part:)
There are all kind of communities on Hive, some are more general, and some are very specific, just browse the most popular, at this moment I cannot remember any around your topics of your interest but I'm sure there are some
Try with 'dutch' tag, on Hive everything is organised around tags, communities and tribes, these three entities intersect with each other, exploring most popular tags is the best starting point IMO, it take anything from few days to few months to have solid grasp over this.
Your voting mana gives you power to vote, voting is limited to create scarcity of newly created Hive. Everybody has equal voting mana, it regenerates all the time giving you roughly 10-12 votes daily, don't remember exact value right now. RC from the other hand is your resource allowing you interacting with blockchain, any interaction takes some RC, posting, commenting, voting, it's limited to prevent spam. Your RC is higher when your HP grows. You can track these values in real time and some more data at www.hive-now.com

Feel free to ask whatever seems unclear and take your time, Hive gives significantly different experiance than other social media, but at the end it's worth it:) Cheers

hi! and a welcoming !PIZZA for you, with dark !BEER

since 10 days have passed, you might have got all the answers to your question, hmm?...

I have a little correction - Hive is the name of the blockchain, HIVE is the name of its token, HP is your Hive Power (i.e. the HIVEs that you have invested, made your hower - you vote with them, unlike with the rest of them that are 'liquid' and you may sell or send them anywhere any time).

Peakd is the best interface to use on the blockchain, I am using it as well.

as for the communities - here you can check the ones i have subscribed to. some of them are dead, some of them are more crowdy and popular, some are less. Idk which may be of intrest for you, but at least note the Hive Book club, two Photography communities, Monomad (also a foto community), StreetArt, hmm... there also exist a new cycling community but I didnt subscribed it. Hive on?
