November Power Up day Delegations
Because I know how difficult it is to get going on this blockchain and because I had a lot of help when I started, I'm paying it forward. Each month, this involves three, three week delegations of 100 HP to redfish who participate in #hivepud. Also, this is a social blockchain so community, communication and engagement are key - all of this takes resources that are scarce for red fish. It's also a mostly caring community and it's caring gave rise to this collaboration. I am glad because truth be told, as much as I'd like to be increasing the size and/or number of my own delegations, RL demands on my liquid Hive and HBD don't allow. When that changes, this will, too.
In the meantime, Power Up Day is all about numbers and strength. For individual Hiveans, it's about adding Hive (numbers) to your wallet. This strengthens your presence on the blockchain: the resources you need for voting, posting and engaging (commenting).
October Power Up Day
If you don't know what happens on Hive Power Up Day and how accounts stand to gain, read @traciyork's Power Up Day post and join next month?
The Power of Three delegations - if you didn't follow the link...
Each month I, and now @coquicoin and @lizelle, set aside 300 HP each - a total of 900HP. Then we each individually delegate 100HP to the three accounts that meet the basic Power Up Day Criteria.
In our case, though, and given our focus on redfish, the accounts must also be -
- be less than 6 months old
- have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day.
Posts that qualify must have 200 words or more and exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.
As a reminder, the reason I added the second criterion is because -
Hive is a social blockchain: it's for socialising, ruminating and just generally hanging out.- a reputation of less than 61
- not more than 500 HP in their accounts before they power up - both on the first of the month
Qualifying accounts for November
When she published her unofficial winners list for November, Traci reported that this is the third month in a row we've had an ATH number of participants -
we had 126 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 116 in October) with 209 total entries (compared to 191 last month) and 229 posts with either the #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags on the first (last month we had 211).
Again, we thought we'd be spoilt for choice, but we weren't and of the four accounts I was sent, three qualified. One of them was also an October winner which goes to prove what I always say:
Lightning does strike twice
So, the three accounts to which each of us will delegate 100HP for 21 days are:
Evidence of Delegation - @fionasfavourites
Here is proof of my delegations:
Lizelle and Eli will do their delegations, themselves, so keep an eye on your wallets.
But that's not all
In addition to the delegations, @grindan, @grecyg and @xanreo have all been added to my fanbase and receive a daily 100% upvote (when my mana remains above 90%).
I also ask "my" Bot, Friday, to notify me each time they post. If I have an opportunity, I pop over and have a gander and occasionally weigh in on whatever the post may be about. Oh, and if I've got less than 90% mana, and the autovote hasn't happened, I will manually upvote.
A last word - or two
Thanks as always to @traciyork, @victoriabsb and @hivebuzz for all the hard work they do each month - and around the blockchain, generally.
Thanks too, to @doze for the super Hive graphics that he develops and shares for us all to use. Do check out his posts and perhaps drop by and show some Hive love.
Post script: I am trying to participate in @traciyork's November #HiveBloPoMo. I emphasise trying because the last two months have been exactly that - trying. There have been times that I've just been too exhausted and uninspired to post, let alone write something profound. That shouldn't stop you - or anyone. Read about how to participate here.
I've made it to day 7!
Until next time, be well

Post script
If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
