Happy Halloween! And before I get started, I thought I should mention again as I did in my HiveBloPoMo post earlier today that yes, I've been afk (away from keyboard) a great deal for the better part of the past month, and I am still behind on the HivePUD drawings and delegations for September and October (oh, and probably August as well - I'll have to check). I've been struggling physically as well as mentally (long boring story for another day), but I'm trying to push through and get things caught up. I hope to implement something with the way the prizes are distributed starting this month (more on it after I've had a chance to touch base with the sponsors) which will hopefully prevent something like this from happening again. As always, I appreciate everyone's patience and I do promise to make sure everyone gets their prize, even if I end up giving them all out myself.

Now the business at hand - while it's still not midnight in my neck of the woods (I'm posting this just before 10:30pm EST), #HivePUD for November 1st 2023 has already arrived in other parts of the world. If you want a super cool way to check if it's officially in your area according to UTC time (which is how the Hive Buzz badges are determined), be sure to check out the Countdown Timer on the hivebuzz.me site (under the green "Power Up" tab), courtesy of the awesomesauce team at @hivebuzz!

HivePUD TL;DR

  • If you want to qualify for the AMAZING Hive Power Up Day badge(s), your power up must happen during the 24 hours of November 1st 2023 according to UTC time.

and/or

  • If you want to qualify for the #HivePUD prize pool, your power up and post must happen (according to criteria listed below) during the hours of November 1st 2023, your local time.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

In October 2022, because of the continuing (and awesome) uptick in participation, I tweaked the timeline of the Power Up Day results to give me a couple extra days to put things together after my numbers guy sends me the raw data.

 

Now, for the basic Power Up Day details...

 
 

What is HivePUD?

Hive Power Up Day happens on the first of every month. Those who are able to, take this time to power up some Hive, and/or cancel their power downs and pause trading/selling for the 24 hour span of the day.

If you'd like more in depth information about Power Up Day, please check out this post from July 2021.

 
 

What are the rules to win prizes for HivePUD?

UPDATED As of July 2022

The requirements are:

  1. Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70 (so 69.99 qualifies but 70.00 doesn't) and your account must be in good standing with the community.
  2. Your total HIVE Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
  3. You must power up at least 10 Hive on November 1st (and must NOT be powering down).
  4. You must write a post about your power up on November 1st with at least 1 of these 3 tags - #HivePUD (International), #HispanicHPUD (Hispanic), or #HPUD (General) as one of your first 5 tags (tagging only in the body of the post doesn't count).

To clarify - your Power Up Day post doesn't have to be just about your power up. You're welcome to just include a bit about it at the beginning/end of an unrelated post. For example, "Here are some pictures of my cute cats and oh yeah, here's a screencap of my power up today." Just be sure it's posted on the first, and has the correct tag(s). 😊
 

To be included in the winners list, you must meet all four requirements above. The order of the list (first place, second place, and so on) will be determined by the biggest PERCENTAGE of Hive powered up, not necessarily the most Hive powered up.

Also, while it hasn't been a rule (yet), this initiative has always been geared towards helping individual accounts, not groups or communities. A couple of times over the years, a community has ended up in the top 3, but were not awarded prizes. This is a heads up that next month, I'll be added it to the rules that only individual accounts will be able to qualify.

And to make it clear what's changed about the rules, I've bolded the two bits in rules #1 and #3. I think it's pretty self-explanatory why I've added those in, but please feel free to shout out if you any questions about it.

Oh, and a bit of a clarification as I haven't mentioned it for a minute - your Power Up Day post doesn't have to be just about your power up. You're welcome to just include a bit about it at the beginning/end of an unrelated post. For example, "Here are some pictures of my cute cats and oh yeah, here's a screencap of my power up today." Just be sure it's posted on the first, and has the correct tag(s). 😊
