Considering all the active (playable) games and a plethora of games in development on Hive, do you think, a rebranding for Hive as a gaming-hub would be advantageous for the next bull run?

Speaking of Hive-games. Do you play or invest in any of them? It'd be interesting to know. Especially for Rising Star, Splinterlands and the upcoming game WOO (Wrestling Organization Online).

I don't think a rebranding will happen, but there can be third party brands that act as hubs.

That is fake news mate... No one is complaining about Hive over on Blurt, but they all hate the Markinators guts over there. That is actually quite understandable though, because he mobbed pretty much each and everyone of them off of Hive with his downvote sprees and his downvote circle buddies...

Funny how I see so many bitching about it then :) With those who do I often know why they got downvoted. Attacking the community is not good for your account and it tends to happen after they got caught out trying to game the system. I've always found Marky to be a good citizen of Hive, but he's entitled to react to personal attacks. Not much you can do about him posting on Blurt. It's not like he cares about the rewards.

And I can post anything I want here, I don't care about the rewards either... I don't care about his DVs either.. Marky is a total hypocrite. Everything he has done, i. e. getting paid out over on Blurt, would have been nuked here on Hive by the Markinator, if it had been somebody else, but Marky is more 'equal' than others here. 😉 His rules don't apply to himself... I just wrote a post about it...

Given that I'm relatively new here, how it's like to be a witness, and do you see #Hive expanding the number of consensuses witnesses as it grows more mature?

How hard was it to spin Hivepunks? :D

themarkymark 2 years ago

I don't think the number of consensus witnesses will change.

Hive Punks was fun, my original plan was about 2-3 days but I added a lot of complexity turning it into a 2-3 week project.

axiemoron 2 years ago

10 h per day or less?

Still trying to wrap my head around how easy/hard it is to spin something like this.

themarkymark 2 years ago

Not sure to be honest. There was a lot of pieces of it. I had to recreate something akin to nft showroom, create the backend to handle minting, and the generation code. I went beyond expectations trying to create “Real-time Rarity” but this was a waste of time as it sold so fast it didn’t matter and caused more work than needed. It was a cool experiment though.

Hard to say, it isn't up to just one person. I also don't see Hive going down to $0.11. The next hard fork will raise the HBD print threshold considerably.

He started to harass me when I responded to a comment of his in the Pulse Discord. He claims to be so mentally ill he can't stand trial, but is well enough to know that thus throwing that out the window.

Thank you for the answer. YouTube is working great as a personal storage for many people since 2005. I have videos on it since 2008, and I have radioamateur videos on it since 2012. Some people upload multiple videos to it every day. It is a great platform to store and archive content (mostly videos). Hopefully the Hive blockchain will also work for many people for decades.

It is of psychological nature... He is jealous of others being successful on the blockchain. He has mobbed so many accounts off of Hive, that they cannot be counted anymore. Little Marky was probably a playground bully, when he was a kid, repeating his behavioral patterns here on the blockchain with big stake... Instead of getting a life, he seeks the attention here... To cover the whole thing up, he will start telling you something about too much earnings, a 'milked' reward pool etc. blabla... The truth is: He himself milks the reward pool! To be clear: It is OK, when HE does it! Hey, after all... It's Marky... 😉

Downvotes affect rewards. Some may think that auto-generated posts don't deserve as much as they get. We all have a say in the rewards distribution and that can mean adjusting them downwards.

soushi888 2 years ago

I think that the problem isn't just a question of reward. It affects the reputation too...

steevc 2 years ago

It does, but it generally takes a lot of downvotes to significantly change that. You also need a higher rep to affect others. We need these tools to deal with abusers, but anyone is free to use them as they like.

Hey Marky! I hope you're very well, my question has to do with Hive and is as follows:

After all the trouble you've had with Newflash and the recent Downvotes war, will you at some point think again about creating another whitelist of authors eligible to receive votes from you? Or is it totally out of the question that you're going to vote for people in the future the way you did for years?

I think I'm just going to vote hbd stabilizer and burn posts for now on. I doubt he will stop, he has no reputation (he is universally hated), he has no projects, he isn't a witness, he doesn't post for votes so he has nothing to lose and it doesn't cost him anything.

I am thinking about powering down all my stake and move it to multiple anonymous accounts or just keeping it liquid. This is the only token I own that has caused this much drama and time. I have been powering up for 5 years now and I am one of the most benevolent voters and largest abuse fighter. He has made that something I can no longer do. It’s not really worth it for 10% apr.
