First Steps on Hive -- (AI image created by Dall-E)
Time for a new look and feel for the former #frugal community.
True to the old community I want to start up with weekly post prompts with weekly prizes up for grabs.
First Step on HIVE
I'd love to get responses on what someone's first step should be when they delve into HIVE. Or even before they start! What goals should they have? Why should they join? What should they do to get started? Anything about those first impressons or startup time will be welcome.
Rewards are going to change. This community will now be using the GLD token for rewards. There is a GLD/Hive liquidity pool on Tribaldex so if you want to cashout your prize feel free.
Prize this week: Depends on the number of entries. More entries, bigger prizes. However, minimum prize pool will be GLD worth roughy 5 Hive.
How long will people have to make entries? The cutoff is November 9th but may accept a late entry if I haven't given out prizes yet :)
Now for some general housekeeping.
I wanted to write a little more on my goals for this community.
Instead of being about just how to save money wisely I wanted to do more. My overall goal of the community and indeed my entire time on Hive is focused on poverty alleviation and better living through Hive.
I believe that anyone with an internet connection and ability to post on Hive can make a better life for themself. In general the idea is this:
- Post good, regular content on Hive and make money
- Invest that money and receive regular income
- Use that regular income wisely to provide a better lifestyle
- Use that better lifestyle to help others to do the same.
I want this community to promote those 4 ideals.
With that in mind the community got a name change. It will be open to more types of posts. However, frugal is still important (hive doesn't pay that well) and generous is still important (Hive is about connections and giving).
Going forward I'll be striving to do many things:
- Find someone to watch over the community while I'm on vacation or busy
- Work towards funding the GLD token and use it for community giveaways and involvement.
- Spruce up the look of the community so it doesn't look quite so "unfinished"
I appreciate all the work everyone did before and a shoutout to @monica-ene @jjmusa2004 @emreal @lightpen @jmis101 and so many others
The new look and development are all welcome. At least more people will be able to relate to blogs if they aren't all frugal centered.
Yeah. I'm all about getting the best deal but there is more too budgeting than getting the best deal. I wanted the community to reflect that :)
Now lets see if anyone feels like taking up the challenge to write :)
I'm really impressed by the new name look and everything.
I just have enough time now and kept admiring the background picture, the name is dope too.@tergan you did alot of work here.
Thank you.
Now I just have to get some responses, and get the community running again. :)
If you know of any threads of how to make badges for the community let me know. Badges are next up on my to do list for the community.
Well... Build up the GLD coin and support it so that it holds a peg of 100 GLD to 1 Hive on the tribaldex exchange.
Make badges so people can show off their affiliation with the community.
Come up with 52 post prompts for the next year (that I'll recycle every year with tweaks) so that I can make sure that there are rewards for every week.
Plus find a full time caretaker for the community who's more engaging than I am :)
(The community deserves a better caretaker than myself...someone more upbeat and fun...but I'll do my best until I can find someone better :)
@monica-ene seems a good interim, I've listened to her ideas and she has a heart for the world. Unfortunately, we aren't superheroes that can save the whole world but in our little corners, we can begin the impact by doing and showing it rightly as do-able
I think people often look to hero's or leaders to save us.
In general it starts with helping a neighbor. Then work as community. Then go from there.
I can't help everyone but I can help someone and that's enough for me.
Or at least what I tell myself :)
Thanks for the mention@tergan is doing well running the community, but he is still of the opinion that that is not good enough. Getting someone that will run the community well based on his ideas is what we are looking at here,Someone who can think and act better than himself, I believe that he know what he is looking out for and I hope that he gets someone soon
You're welcome
Hmm... I don't think its a matter of being "bad" at doing what I can here. I like to think that I am fairly capable. However, I'm not always available as I like to travel and work on other projects. In addition I'm Canadian. By itself there is nothing wrong with being Canadian as I think we are pretty decent people as a whole. However, if I'm looking at the ability of using HIVE for poverty reduction and helping the poorest in the world...
....well, there can be a credibility gap. I keep picturing people wondering "What can a person from a rich country possibly know about being poor and struggling".
I think there would be more credibility in having someone who WAS poor, in a "poorer" country, using HIVE to make a better life as inspiration. Rather than someone who IS financially stable telling others how they can make a better life for themselves.
....or maybe I'm not making any sense. Sometimes hard to get the ideas out properly.
😁
I totally understand your point of view now. Having the poor to lead the others is a welcome idea and they will most likely listen to such a one better. I'm always available to help if need be.
Currently working on the contest post and yet to receive an answer from the community badge maker I am making an enquiry
I talked with @dlmmqb about the community badge. Seems like its something that is done through Discord and Peakd. As I really try to avoid Discord I'm guessing the community badge is going to fall by the wayside for now.
Perhaps if someone seems extra eager and is good with Discord then it will happen.
Thanks for all your help so far. I may need to ask for your help again in the future especially once I bring the GLD token online for community purchases. However, that's just an idea for right now so don't want to say much about where I'm hoping to go with that.
Thanks for all your help so far. Really appreciate it. :)
create an account "badge-xxxxxx"
(Change x to any 6 digits)
give a nickname to your account like "hl verified'.
It shouldn't have anything posted.
set an image and follow 50+ people to those u wanna give a badge to.
once it's done go to the "peakd-badge" channel in peakd discord and describe your badge briefly, who u are and why u r making a badge. With enough activity, you are allowed to give badges.
if u need automation based on HE balance, it can also be done by asking for a script and running it once a week on your end.

@monica-ene, this is what I shared!
This is so much to do list.
I will hit up someone for the batches and see how that will turn out
Awesome.
Thank you :)
This is awesome. I love the changes. Welcome back!!!
Thank you
It's still a work in progress but I hope to get there eventually :)
This is beautiful and encouraging. Your ideas are crucial to living. Most people earn to live rather than live to earn.
We are all so much focused on earning that we do it in all desperate manners and forget to live a little.
Earning wisely and investing, taking oneself out of poverty and equally helping to lift others.
I buy into your idea
Welcome once again
Good to see you :)
Now I just have to get this community growing again and try to post on how to do just that.
Use Hive (or other strategies) to make money. Then use it wisely to spend and live life. Get to a stable, sustainable spot, then help others do the same.
I believe you're on the right track sir
Welcome back, and a good prompt to start with
Welcome back, I am pleased with the new development. I love the aim of the community. Your good intentions for man kind especially the poor is huge.
I am so happy that the community is back again. The prompt for this week is nice, there is definitely going to be a lot of entries as the topic is interesting.
Hope I get some entries. But entries or not I'm going to keep working on the community now that I'm back from vacation :)
You will definitely get some entries sir..
Congratulations @tergan! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next target is to reach 400 replies.
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking
