📌Have Ya Heard? 2️⃣New Witnesses for Hive!

in #pimp5 months ago (edited)

Well, maybe not exactly new, but now newly registering and witnessing transactions on this blockchain we all love. Before I get into who, I want to play a little scenario that went through my head while seeing things unfold recently. Story telling time! Are you ready @snook?

So as I was cruising on my hoverboard through the vast wastelands of the nothing and saw the rockbiter losing his motivation, I happened across a hidden gem that had fallen from his crunchy stones.

This gem was shiny, and within, I could see things. It was almost as if the #Splinterlands were unified and I could see faces I'd never seen before. Some had two sides, some had three and some? Some were recognizable. Faces with one side.

So when the Lorax started speaking, I remember him saying,
"UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not."

UNLESS

I will admit, for awhile, I didn't care. Sure, I helped around the Castle and made sure my PIMPs were getting theirs. I even attended the meetup for the #silvergoldstackers out in Vegas again. Mainly because I kick ass at Yahtzee and wanted to win a pile, HA!

But I'd lost the gumption. I'd lost the motivation for this place here - Hive - that once drove me to 28 hour days and oodles of heated and passionate discussions. The conclusion was that - I was really only here for you.

You are why I'm still here. The friends, the family, the comradery - I couldn't just walk away. I wanted to, several times. I wanted to disappear. I mean fuck, my house burned down and I lost my doggie and countless priceless irreplaceable items. I could and can easily make money elsewhere, and let's face it, that's why most of you are here.

But I've built things. Communities and strongholds that are still standing after over half of a decade. Things I don't want to see go away. Things that I notice when I do step back, it is just no where near as vibrant and lively as when I am there. And, you always love when I am there.

A Little Help From My Friends

And I love being there with you. I've cultivated bonds beyond the Hive chain. One of those bonds, happened to resurface this past week in my feed, in the form of the boisterous and comedically obnoxious - @sircork. Aside from being one of the most brilliant minds I've had the pleasure of calling a friend, I found it very exhilarating to see his words again.

And then the Lorax's words started humming in my brain ever so loudly once again. "Unless". And this time, I took it to heart.

Hive runs well, but only well. It can be great, spectacular even! But it is splintered and broken. Everyone is trying to do their own thing and the community that was advertised as the backbone of creation during the HF24 bid, just isn't there.

I remember when 100s of people would show up to witness chats or family times and now? I see less than a few dozen at any given time in any community chat or meetings. Even my own.

So with the help of @sircork, and the Lorax's etched word, I take a few of my many hats and throw a couple back in the witness ring. Yes, I am a witness again. So before you read the rest of this, go vote for enginewitty and pollenation as witnesses.

Pollenation

So ya, I'm back, he's back - we're back. I want to give some props to people I'm closer to for never even taking their witness vote or proxy off of me because I did say, I will come back eventually. I appreciate the confidence and loyalty.

@bigtom13 @beautifulbullies @bluefinstudios @raymondspeaks (and the #BRO community) @blueeyes8960 @captaincryptic @d-vine @detlev @dreemsteem @elizabethbit @entrepidus @elizabeths14 @freewritehouse @frostyamber @gaboamc2393 @grindan @iamdarrenclaxton @inthenow @isaria @improv @ismaelrd04 @jim-crypto (and the #thgaming community) @kaerpediem @katrina-ariel @latino.romano @lesmann @mafalda2018 @mikezillo @marybellrg @michaeldavid @molovelly @novacadian @nikolina @paulmoon410 @quekery @saffisara @silverd510 @solymi @samsmith1971 @shadowspub @snook @tattoodjay @the-bitcoin-dood @thebeardflex (and the #pizza crew) @trentonlundy1 @trumpman @wanderingmoon @welshstacker @wesphilbin @willendorfia & @zekepickleman

Now, I know I am also close of hundreds of others that said they would return the vote once I came back and have already seen some of those within 24 hours of dropping a note in the Castle and the District. Much appreciated fam. On to "what is @pollenation"?

We (@sircork and I) thought it would be sweet to do a witness together! We mulled over different punny names for a good 30 minutes or so before settling on one that wasn't taken - POLLENATION.

Huh?

Both of us agree on comedy and laughter being one of the best medicines and it also strengthens bonds between people. Sharing a real laugh is a pretty strong reminder of why or when or how.

We also agreed that since this is Hive and it has the whole 'Bee' vibe attached to it, that it should be somewhere in those lines of punmenship.

We will go into further detail about our community aspirations and The Pollen Nation, what it is and will do and all that lovely stuff in the upcoming premier post from that account. So, if you want to tag along, #pollennation and @pollenation will be something to pay attention to as we move forward with it.

What I Do

You already know, really, what it is I do. I embrace and embody the family life and spread that to the chain. I am what should be known as a 'Social Witness'. I love communities and getting to know you. I've built several and foster some without a qualm.

I also like money. Who doesn't? Well, at least as a tool. A #PIMP understands me in this aspect. Aside from the mining, the very first transaction from Bitcoin was used to buy #pizza. Used as money. So when you think crypto, if you don't think money? You should probably just keep playing Minecraft or Call of Duty.

I'm also a gamer with heavily vested interests in some of them out there. For a long time, it was SteemMonsters #splinterlands. Nothing has really taken the place of that on chain as of yet, which is why I'm building one I want to play called #NISM. Progress is there, albeit slow, it continues to take shape.

Sure I do other things, and if you know, you know. Feel free to ask any questions below and consider this an open forum AMA type bit. I got nothing to hide and have no alterior motives other than to take over Hive. But that's always been the plan Bwahahahaaa! Oh and one last thing - REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, because I have dozens of hats.

I've never been here for the money. It's always been about the people and the possibilities for me.

About 15 years ago I told a friend that I'd trade all the sex I was going to have for the rest of days for good conversation. She and I talk often :) The point of that? It's all about the friends and how you are and how you can be. It's why I'm still here.

... I told a friend that I'd trade all the sex I was going to have for the rest of days for good conversation.

Hope you didn't have to choose. 😳

It's all about the friends and how you are and how you can be.

It keeps bringing me back as well.

Hive runs well, but only well. It can be great, spectacular even!

There's definitely room for change and improvement. But what what are some of the things you'd want to change that might benefit the blockchain?

I'm also a gamer with heavily vested interests in some of them out there. For a long time, it was SteemMonsters #splinterlands. Nothing has really taken the place of that on chain as of yet, which is why I'm building one I want to play called #NISM. Progress is there, albeit slow, it continues to take shape.

I'm also a gamer and dabble in game development. In my free time I'm tinkering on a card game in Godot and if I ever decide to publish it I want to do it on Hive. So let me start by wishing you the best of luck, bringing a well thought game is definitely one of the more difficult projects you can take on in this space.

However I often have the feeling games and gaming content are always in the shadow of Splinterlands. Hive definitely has what gamers need but the communities their appetite for it is rather low. Do you think there is still enough appeal for gamers? Some of the web3 gamers that I used to be in contact in didn't care for Hive since they thought Hive was only for Splinterlands (which is while fun for many here, not for everyone's appetite) or they tried Splinterlands, hopped onto the next web3 game they saw in their Twitter feed and where never given a reason to return to Hive.

And last, what is your opinion about the 20% APR on HBD?

I'm sorry if I'm asking all the wrong questions here (nothing is meant as criticism) I'm honestly interested and trying to learn more about what each witness (wants to) bring to the table

You kind of covered the things at least my half of this wishes for, a return to the "reasons to stay", and those included a much more rewarding reward system systemically than the current iteration, a lot more platform solidarity, not in opinions, most certainly not, but that this was the place to have some, hard, passionate and tightknit, that place where you fight with everybody, but everybody would fight the outside world together.

And frigging splinterlands. If I see one more piece of spl related game noise in my signal (feed) I'm going to pop. I came for the people who interact, with words, music, art, philosophy, science, stories... humans. Not an xbox lobby. Games are great, I have over 11,000 hours in a game called DayZ and thats not including many others, even web3 card games at times, but ffs, I play them, I dont need endless posts about them overshadowing all the sentient content.

/rant
See what you made me do here? :P

My bad, sorry 😅
I don't mind an XBox lobby thread from time to time. Some friendly rivalry posts can definitely be fun to engage with from time to time

But to be clear, the SPL posts (or the majority that I encounter) do not fall under that category. It's like the same posts over and over again.

Imagine how much more fun our feed would be if all "share your battles" posts where a comment put under a one daily thread everyday?

Overall I feel that comments are highly undervalued on Hive. You can't have a good thread without comments, and when people comment that means that they engage with your content.

Exactly. What you said is exactly what I am talking about.

If I go to a site like say, Medium, to read, I can find all kinds of engaging things to inform, amuse or educate myself with there. But if I load up our "All Topics" feed and I find myself wading through endless game spam for lack of a different label, I quickly lose interest and tune out.

Play the game, that's fine. But just like going to lunch or the bathroom. Everybody does it, nobody cares that other people do it. Unless you are an entertaining let's play streamer who is well... entertaining or extremely interesting to watch for whatever reason such as performance playing or speed runs or something, then who cares that you "just played, here's a screenshot just like everybody's screenshot and the one I posted after the last match".

BORING.

Content engagement is everything here, its what makes this a sticky platform. It's not supposed to just be a coin farm or an arcade, though it can be those too, they wouldn't be much without the communities, content, comraderies and connections made possible by human to human communication.

I like your sentiment on this.

Hmmm. The solution exists.

Check out the @leothreads account. See how every five hours a new "post" is created, then under it, hundreds if not thousands of comments?

On the Inleo frontend, those comments are displayed like tweets. It's called Threads.

Pros and Cons to that.

Tell me what you think. I'm not in charge of SPL or the community. You're concerned about people with common interests sharing similar thoughts on a decentralized platform.

If there were tens of thousands of people posting, you'd never be able to keep up with the content on the main feed, regardless of what's there. Every individual on the planet would discover they're not interested in majority of things, if they didn't already know that, just by looking at that particular feed. Luckily they have other options like communities and the ability to create their own feeds.

I've provided a solution. A forum within a forum removes clutter from the main feed. It's SPL community responsibility to see a problem and solve it. It's their own image at stake. It's commonsense playing the same advertisement constantly only annoys people and turns eyes away. It was being rewarded and people follow the money. Asking them to stay ahead of it and on top of things probably won't go over too well.

I think the same applies to any topic. Do we really need thousands of individual posts about the same thing when we could all discuss it in the comments of one post?

One of the biggest issues is the hive-engine node operation being so sluggish. Not entirely sure how to fix that, but I do know of a few solutions. Another one, is what I alluded to a bit and the community aspect of it all. I'd like to see a more unified Hive and more people that can relate to the 'normies' and noobs up in the top 20 vs nothing but developers that have a hard time communicating. Representing Hive is a privilege and I think all the little voices asking for help are going to get real loud.

Gaming, I sincerely believe what I'm building is going to change Hive. That's all I'll say on that for now.

Believe it or not, and whether I am given credit by any of the larger wallets, I was the one in a conversation that pushed for any kind of interest rate on HBD and made it a thing. I initially said it should reflect the APR on staked HP (roughly 3%) since other chains have a much higher PoS reward system in place and even exchanges now - dwarf that 3% for staked HP. How it got to 20%? I'm still kind of shocked and think that is too high but appealing nonetheless.

Being able to pinpoint problem areas is always the first step (which not everyone is always able to do). And those are indeed some problem areas. I especially like shifting the focus to the "normies". I massively respect the people come here, invest their time and don't power down because they want to do the grind, those I respect the most. When an account like that suddenly goes dark it feels like such a big loss.

The 20% is way too high in my opinion, and this is coming from someone that profited from it. It has about the same APR as someone that actively posts on Hive without having to do the effort or have to deal with the risk from price fluctuation. I definitely understand people that prefer to convert their Hive to HBD since you have to do less effort for approximately the same rewards. It Results in the opposite of what we want, people should be encouraged to engage with the blockchain. I think 3% would hit the sweet spot indeed.

The appealing argument is interesting, and I think it's true for people that are in the Hive ecosystem, but I'm not sure everyone agrees with that. I was in a discord call with some online friends two months ago and we where talking crypto (they aren't on Hive). And I told them that we have a stable coin with a 20% APR, I heard the word "scam" more than once after that. They actually thought it was dodgy rather than appealing. This shows that the perception towards high return promises in crypto has shifted immensely in the post-FTX era.

One call between 3 dudes talking nonsense in their free time is of course not an indicator for a wider audience. But it is that call that started to make me question the 20% APR

I've been in a few conversations that resemble the scam one you just mentioned and there were scratched heads wondering how it was sustainable. Not necessarily scammy, because there are some legitimate chains and tokens that have roughly the same APR. Cosmos (ATOM) has just under a 15% APR on staking (where I do it anyway) and it is vibrant. Can look at others here if you have time and want to see. You'll notice that HIVE and HBD isn't even on that list.

Addressing the 20% question separately here, mostly because I didn't notice it the first time through.

I think it's a tad bit high in general and opted for 15% to at least not get too far out of line from the other witnesses. But I also think having it a little high when interest in the currency and platform have waned so drastically in the last couple years is good for retention and attractive to crypto savvy interested onlookers to become part of our world.

If we were back at the 30K active dailies we had when I was a witness the first time, I'd say lower is better to best support both the community savers but also the health of the ecosystems financial profile.

@enginewitty and I discussed it and decided, for now, 15% on @pollenation, is a good happy medium for the moment.

I think it's more than a tad too high, But you can't just lower it a huge amount from one day to the other of course. I further shared my sentiment in my comment to Enginewitty about the 20%

I saw that conversation. As you can see, we answered separately but sort of the same way. And we didn't even discuss it or see each others replies first. That's why we make a great team! 😄

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

I won't speak for Witty's future plans, but I can say "Nism" is an augmented reality game, so unless you want to haul your PC around outside and point it at your house to see a dragon overhead, it may not work out very well. :)

Pleasure to meet you as well.

Hive is a family for sure. One I've been away from a little too long. My first 5 years on this chain were illustrious and infamous, The division is something that comes from all angles, and I've always tilted at the windmill of trying to identify and call out the corrosive personalities that cause it.

Which in turn leads some of the more influential ones to try to put that back on me, because that's what those kinds of people exactly do. Deflect and divide. We're going to continue to be trying to put a stop to that, or at least shine light on the sources of that, so people can know and avoid those traps altogether.

But thats just daily life here. Our goals as witnesses go much bigger than just making sure peple know who the scammers or jerks are which is something anyone with a heart should be doing. .

It will be an application, so eventually a pc version, yes. Just figuring the proper math for the location-based trekking will be the challenge.

We can go hiking in the game???

I see you're currently voting for 7% APR on HBD savings. Why?

7.5 actually, it rounds down for some reason. When I initially had it instated, I suggested it reflect the APR for staked HIVE (HP) at around 3.1 %. 20% is real high imo. Great for arbitrage and enticing for onboarding but - I haven't seen shit for people coming onboard saying "Yay! 20%!", and there is maybe half a dozen other chains that offer even close to that. Most sustainable powerhouse ones like ETH and ATOM are much lower. The sell pressure will override the desire to bank it eventually as people will hit their exit point (especially a few of these patient whales), and then? That 20% is shot all to shit and both HBD and HIVE tank uncontrollably and the peg effort won't be able to compensate it.
