The main difference between the #HHHLive show and some other online podcasts/shows is that others have an audience, and we have participants instead of an audience... The main idea of it was (and is) that everyone is participating in the creation of the show sharing his views, opinions, and experiences... While I do try to get with a general topic (which you can suggest in the comment section!) before the show, sometimes it's hard to stick to it... Something similar happened in the latest show, but in the end, it was a great show with plenty of useful information shared, despite going off-topic... We were still discussing HIVE, and that's the most important!

We had a few newcomers to the show which is always great to see! When they step out and ask questions, that's even better as that's the main reason why we are here! The show is called *Hive Humpday Hangout with a reason, and it's to help each other... There are no stupid questions, only questions that raise discussion and bring valuable answers to participants (and listeners of the recording!)
This time, it was a nice crowd from the very beginning as @felixxx warmed up participants before the show by streaming his gameplay... 🙂 That's maybe not a bad idea to do before every future show... Optimistically, I began with the show introducing the "official topic" which was presented in the announcement post, What Would You Like To See On Hive More?
First to break the ice was @felixxx sharing his view that we need more ways to earn and spend out HIVE and HBD... Valid opinion! We do have more movements in that direction, but we do need more...
This was the first time joining our show for @havandris, and he stepped out asking questions about curation on HIVE... As that is an important topic, we have moved all our attention to that, trying to share views on curation... The discussion was great as many people chimed in, sharing their opinion... It hurts when you invest a lot of time to create a post and to see that you get only a couple of pennies for doing that, but it's not all black and white...
We went deeper into talk about curators and creators, @achim03 shared his view that rewards and quality don't have to be related... In an ideal world, it should be, but in a decentralized world, (with some flaws), it doesn't... He also shared that it's important to create links with people on the chain, engage with them, create relationships...
Sometimes newbies are overwhelmed by certain "rules" (funny enough is that on HIVE there shouldn't be rules), trying to do things in exact "steps", while forgetting that things are pretty simple... Curation isn't a science, it should be something normal... You should support posts that you like, and that you are interested in... In that way, it's not a job, and it shouldn't be a job... It's a normal social media interaction...
As curation is important, not just for big curation projects but also for newbies, we got into a discussion about the "dust threshold" which was a thing on HIVE in the past...

As it wasn't clear if it is still active, I did a small research and on the example from the @havandris wallet, we could see that the minimum payment isn't 2 cents, but the smallest decimal amount... 0.001 HBD and 0.001 HIVE... This is important to know as even if your upvote is worth 0.002 HBD, you still can get curation rewards for it! (Please correct me in the comment section if I'm wrong!)
EDIT: I was wrong regarding the DUST threshold... The author/curation reward payments CAN BE lower than 2 cents, but ONLY if the post/comment has a TOTAL amount of votes value over $0.02!
@jza mentioned the Hive game theory which kind of aligns with @achim03 words about creating relationships... We talked about the importance of supporting people who commented on YOUR posts, and how it's not a bad idea to upvote those comments and to reply to them... All that leads to a much wider topic as Tips for growing your HIVE account, which is a good idea for some future shows! There are plenty of things and tips that we could share with others...
@borniet was also on the mic saying that reblogging your friend's posts is a good idea to help others with more visibility... As short-content platforms on HIVE (Waves, Snap, Threads) are technically comments, we clarified that posts and comments have the same "weight"... Both are important!
Closer to the end of the show, I tried to switch topics a few times, so we had a bit of talk about blockchain gaming and smart contracts... As @achim03 mentioned that he would like to see more tools on HIVE, we discussed spending HBD through V4V and buying coupons on https://www.bitrefill.com/... Or, creating your own webshop thanks to already developed tools for HIVE, as those that you can find at Waivio...

Thank you guys and girls for joining, I hope you had fun and learned something new about HIVE!
As usual, we had an after-show where we continued chatting for a while... Many people stayed for it, so it was a lot of fun... Don't forget to join the show live to participate in the after-show too! That part wasn't recorded...
Thank you, guys and girls, once again! As a sign of appreciation, I will send some LEN tokens to all participants of the live show! You can pair them with LENM tokens, add liquidity to the diesel pool, and earn rewards! If you want to learn more about the project behind it, check out the @liotes account or visit the Liotes website... Of course, if you are not interested in it, you can sell tokens on the Hive-Engine market...
To encourage more people to come on the mic, I usually send additional ECENCY points for those who shared things in voice... We had multiple people in voice today, so the additional ECENCY POINTS are going out to @felixxx, @havandris, @achim03, @jza, and @borniet! Thanks guys a lot for sharing the mic with me! 🙏
Special thanks goes to @melinda010100 and @good-karma for providing the space for the event!
