RE: Points purchase with HIVE and HBD discontinued

in Ecency2 years ago (edited)

Thank you for your comment and support!
Yes, it is still possible to purchase via mobile app (in-app purchase with fiat). Another possibility is to purchase from people who is willing to sell. Also earning with social activity as well as Community rewards still very helpful for communities to grow. We will be thinking ways to utilize Points and Hive tokens more in different ways...

absolutely happy to continue to earn points by using Ecency! :)

the only downside to purchasing with fiat is that just last night I needed to purchase Hive... and in order to do that, it cost me $50 in fees all along the way, transferring from one place to another. Each transaction took money from my wallet - and put it into the wallets of exhanges. The beauty of being able to keep it all inside of HIVE is that is more funds to go exactly where we want them to go - NOT to fees.

I admire and respect the decisions that you've had to make on behalf of Ecency - and I do know that as a founder, there are many things that the public just doesn't get to see. And hard decisions need to be made. I appreciate that you're doing whatever it takes to continue to keep things running smoothly, keep people growing, protect and help the small accounts, and appease the critics (or attempt to. hehehe usually critics will never truly be satisifed until something is destroyed). But.. we press on :)

Thanks for all you do @good-karma !

The points are an in-app purchase like when you play your games and pay for the stars so it uses your card linked to the appstore as a standard online purchase.
