Before I get started, I thought I'd mention to my #HiveBloPoMo friends that while this post technically works as my blog for the day, I'm not counting it. I'm still planning to put out a non-HivePUD post later today, and it might even be the suggested prompt as well! LOL!
And now as always, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. As I said on @hivebuzz's Feedback from the April 1st Hive Power Up Day post...
No fooling - here we are, two years and almost two weeks after the creation of our chain, and the amount of people celebrating by powering up on the first of each month seems to be growing all the time now! This month it's been a bit harder to judge the enthusiasm level, given that lots of Discord and Twitter notifications are coming in for both Power Up Day and HiveBloPoMo (Hive Blog Posting Month), but it still seems to me that bunches of people are doing some awesome staking today.
I think April's numbers will again show lots of new (and newish) faces to our community, and even if the total amount powered up isn't a huge amount (since new usually means small as far as liquid Hive goes), it's still a huge win Especially given the ultimate goal of this initiative (which turns 4 years old this month) is to encourage our newest and smallest members to stake their tokens, so they can grow their accounts.
As always, a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this Power Up Day by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on all traditional web 2.0 social media. All of those things help shine a light on the blockchain, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to @hivebuzz for always BEEing such an incredible buzz-maker for Hive Power Up Day, and for continuing to add to the blockchain fun. And here's to all the Hiveans, new and old, who continue to increase their voting power and influence on the blockchain - congratulations to you all!
I'm happy to report that it seems that I was correct - we had lots of newer Hivers powering up (and even a few more OG Hiveans), and while participation held steady, the power up total was a smidge more than last month. So, the result was altogether...
To break it all down, we had 92 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 96 in March) with 150 total entries (compared to 148 last month) and 163 posts with either the #HivePUD or #HPUD tags on the first (165 last month).
As for the overall number, the power ups ranged from 1.000 to 1000.000 Hive Power, for a grand total of...
10,340.008 Hive Powered Up!
By comparison, the total in February was 9,584.230, so I'm thinking this amount is...
The lists
Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for April 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.
And as usual, on April 5th I'll publish the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. The complete list is in my newly combined announcement & welcome to Power Up Day post, and will be included in the official results as well.
Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the raw data for me to use to put this together as fast as possible after HiveSQL was available again. You ROCK, Asher! 😊
PLEASE NOTE
This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #HivePUD and/or #HPUD on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify for the usual monthly prize pool.

I came bottom :) Not that I mind. I keep adding to my HP all the time. Haven't powered down in a long time and don't plan to.
Look at all this awesomeness. So good 🙌 @traciyork
And I have a concern that leads to me a question:
My power up says 11 HIVE but I only powered up 10 (HIVE) in UTC Day 1 and I thought I powered up 1 (HIVE) on UTC Day 2... but maybe I accidentally missed Day 2's time period in UTC?! How do I check the timing of my power up's? I can only say how many "days" ago after it hits the 24 hour period both inside my Wallet on Ecency and in my transactions on hiveblocks.com...
Happy to have an answer from anyone who knows more than me. (It doesn't have to be you, Traci - you're always so busy this time of the month!). I am assuming that I'm the one that's messed up the timing/numbers rather than it being a mistake in Asher's numbers 😂
Someone, please enlighten me!
I'm happy to take a stab at it, dear Caroline, but yes - almost two years later and I'm still not exactly sure of the magical formula @abh12345 uses to get the numbers. 😂
The conundrum with this Power Up Day initiative, versus what Hive Buzz does, is that everyone is allowed to power up and post when it's the first in their time zone. Which means it's a bit trickier than just going by the 24 hours of UTC. Sometimes, if a second power up is close enough before or after your HivePUD, it gets counted in your tally.
So in simpler (maybe...lol) terms, your power ups on the first and second most likely both counted towards the Hive Buzz Power Up Month badge, and your power ups counted for HivePUD as well.
Oooh. So what I think I'm understanding is that I didn't muck anything up and I might still be on track for HPUM! That's what I'm taking away from this... unless when there's a HPUM update I appear to not be on the list that's still hanging in there 🤣 !LOL
Thanks !LUV !!
Yes, !LUV - I'm pretty sure that's what I mean (although I do sometimes confuse myself sometimes... !LOL ).
@traciyork(1/1) gave you LUV.

Think it's because you didn't select 100% power up for rewards on your post. I made the same mistake last month.
Mine was just symbolic. It will be much more next month ;)
Congratulations to each of the participants in this very exciting Power Up round :)
This is a great way to get more visibility out there. Congratulations to all.
Congratulation to your all participants that partook in the hive power up

Congrats to everyone that powered up and thank you for setting this up!
List is looking good thanks everyone for being awesome and powering up!
awesome job, dear all! 🤸
There were some awesome Power Ups this month, thank you for this Traci:)
Congrats to all!
While I made the cut, it sure would be nice to win a prize, any prize!
Yay! The unofficial list is out and congrats everyone🍻 and thank you @traciyork and the others for all these things you do❤
I am glad that I took part and after powering up, I am now a dolphin. Happy to know that I qualify for the prize as well.
weeee thank you! and congrats everyone!!!
Congrats to everyone!! And thanks for this awesome iniciative.
Thanks @traciyork and I am an official winner as I can see a big hike in my VP. Second in a row for me which is certainly a moral booster 👍
I dont get why im not in the prize pool participants...
Rep is 56, hp is 136 and i used the tags?
Is this a mistake or do i get something wrong with the criterias?
Hey @las3rbone - looks like it was a misunderstanding about the criteria -
However according to the list, you only had 85 HP before the first -
But the good news is, your HP is now high enough to qualify for next month! And you still have a chance to win something in the "not qualified" drawings - crossing my fingers for you. 😊
Ah ok.. Before..
Congratulations to all investing, Hive gives you Wings!
My congratulations to all winners. This is a great initiative to encourage those who power up.
Brilliant, thanks for the mention and I'm looking forward to seeing the official list tomorrow!

Thank you for all you do for the success of the HivePUD 😄
And congrats to everyone that have powered up!
Thank you for all @traciyork and the unofficial list 😊😁
Congratulations to all who powered up 💪🏻🐝
Thank you, I had a blast entering for the first time
You said there is a prize pool for the ones who did not qualify? Confused on that, but thanks for putting me on the list regardless 😃.
You're very welcome, @squids! And maybe I can clear up the confusion a bit - it used to be that the only people who could get prizes were the ones that met the criteria listed in the post.
Then last August, thanks to TCMDan's generosity, I was able to add a few prizes for those people who did power ups and posts even though their accounts were too big/small to meet the criteria.
If you have more specific questions, please feel free to shout out and I'll see what I can do to answer them. 😊
Thank you 😀
