The News

It is a good thing most Hivers do not worry about the short term fluctuations of the markets as things are down again, but when you have thirteen weeks to power down you think about the long game and we may be winning at that with lots of new projects.

I do not have much else to report on this week, but feel free to let me know of any big news for Hivers.

I have been doing a bit more coding around Hive. A couple of people wanted to extra lists of songs they had featured in posts over several years. I did a bit of Python using @hivesql and some regex to do that for them. It did not take long to write the code and one seconds to run it. I can make the code available if others want it.

Friday Follows

• @wrestorgonline is a wrestling game based on Hive. Now we have games sound farming, beer, music and more. There is something for every taste and you can earn from them.
• @howweroll are raising money to help a skateboarder get to a competition. She is not active on Hive yet, but efforts like this can show people what Hive can achieve.
• It is good to see bassist @verhp11 return after a few months away from Hive. Sometimes real life gets in the way.
• Another musician who comes and goes is @heymattsokol who also blogs about crypto and gaming. He is worth reading.
• I have been using @splinterrents to rent out my @Splinterlands cards for a while. They seem to do a pretty good job. You manage it over Discord, but they have a site as well now with all the details.

The Doghouse

I do not have specific cases this week, but I will say again that if you only post and never comment then you are doing Hive wrong. You really ought to be commenting on posts by others and not just responding to replies on yours. That is how you expand your following. Find people who share your interests via communities or tags. Hive does not owe you anything by default. You need to get out and make yourself valuable. I am not so worried about the rewards, but I have put out hundreds of these #FollowFriday posts that may help others. That may be appreciated by some people. I give some of the rewards to those I mention.

Hive is a social platform and you have to engage. I know that does not come naturally to some people, but I would encourage you to try it.

The End

I have a busy weekend of running and music. Those will give me something to post about. I have developed a blogger mindset where I am often thinking about what I could blog. I have some regular posts I do, such as this one, but if you look there are plenty of themed tags you could join in with. For me it has to be fun and not just work.

Hive five!
