There was an interesting discussion that took place a while back. It centered around HSBI (Hive Steem Basic Income) units, and how for those new to Hive, the small upvotes they get from it mean a lot. As someone who's newer to Hive, I can certainly relate to that. It can be hard to consistently put out content and have nobody comment, upvote or reblog it. You wonder if you're simply wasting your time.
I was onboarded by @bitcoinman and we created the Hive Onboarding Committee to help not only onboard people to Hive, but also support those who are new to Hive and made it here themselves, were introduced by somebody else, etc.
I like to run HSBI giveaways because it provides a small upvote for others when you sponsor them, and I also get HSBI units in turn, so it's a win-win. Plus, who doesn't like giveaways, right? As fun as they are, I want to do something on the side to help those who are newer to Hive. It's simply called "Pay It Forward", based off the movie. If you haven't seen it, here's the premise.
(Created using Playground)
What Is HSBI?
It is a program designed so that anyone can "sponsor" another person on Hive. One HSBI unit costs 1 Hive. The person sponsoring also receives a unit. These units provide upvotes to the posts of whoever holds them. You can read more about them here.
How It Works
Nominate someone in the comments by putting their name in your reply.
Note: I will be checking posting history, how many HSBI units someone already has, etc., to determine if I will include them in the drawing. The goal is to help give a little encouragement to newer Hive members.
At the end of the post's payout period, everyone who was nominated will go into a drawing, and the winner gets 10 HSBI.
I want this post to reach as many people as possible, so anyone who reblogs this post will have their name put into a separate drawing. The winner of this drawing will get 5 HSBI.
That's all there is to it.
