in #hivehustlerslast year

Hello there! We would need some help & clarification.

First, your website is down for quite some time. (We don't know if you are aware of it or not.)

HiveHustlers webpage down

Secondly, maybe we are missing something or don't understand your project or initiative, but as far as we can see and read, the HUSTLER token is your main token.

Its description says, " When staked, it will mine the COM token."
Unfortunately, this is not happening for quite some time as well, or to be precise, the last time the COM token was issued/sent to HUSTLER stakers by that mining contract was two months ago, on August 25, 2023.

HUSTLER token Mines COM

Therefore, we would like to know if something has changed in the meantime, (as around here, we didn't find any such announcement) or if there is some other type of issue going on.
Thank you in advance!

Site is loading fine. It is ran on the Hive Engine servers, so if they have node issues it can effect our site.

As far as the COM tokens are concerned. I have been reworking the payout bots to work with the new Hive versions because the payouts were Erroring. This has been fixed and payments will resume on November 1.

The project is just a community project. The original creator of HiveHustlers created the original HUSTLER token, but then burned 80% of the supply because he didn't know how to work the tokenomics and was using it as a money grab. When the new party took over, we tried to go a different direction, but some damage had been done already.

Essentially, you earn the HUSTLER token, and if you stake it, you earn the Hivecommerce token which when staked pays out a portion of our SWAP.HIVE rewards from posts and curation. This number is set on a monthly basis, so when things got thrown off due to the base blockchain upgrades, we decided to pause payouts until the first of the month because it was a few days before we caught the issue.

We made an announcement on the Discord server about the pause.

When you are purchasing the tokens, you are NOT supporting our account because we don't sell any of the tokens, but the community itself. Anything purchased from the markets is sold by the community. And essentially we are just giving away our posting and curation rewards, really for no reason other than to try and build a community of entrepreneurs.

Well, we are aware of Hive-Engine node issues, especially lately. Still, it was a bit odd to us that we are such bad-luck guys, so every time we tried to access the site, it would be some HE node issue. We tried different browsers before. Therefore, after reading your reply, we tried to investigate it with a different approach, and finally, we found out what is the issue. Our operating system, as well as our virus and other malware protection software, rate your website security certificate as "not trusted" and, therefore, blocks it automatically. (We don't know why, and for now, we didn't investigate it further, as it could be for many different reasons, such as too strict configuration from our side or security certificate expiration from your side, etc. But at least it explains why we could access the site before, and for quite some while, not anymore.)

For the rest, thank you very much for your very comprehensive reply and the provided info. We believe that Web3-educated and prepared entrepreneurs may play a big role in the future (especially if they "arrive" there before big companies), and at the moment, it seems to us (with due respect to rare pioneers) as quite untaped and undeveloped field as on Hive the same on some other blockchains. Therefore, creating such a community and helping it to develop in this new environment is a good initial step for some future development.

Apart from that, when it comes to announcing some changes (inside your project), maybe you can consider or reconsider announcing it here (on your main account), as well. Although we know most users, or at least many of them, use Discord, there would still be those (if nothing, following the HUSTLER token description) who would still search for some news here first.

However, thank you for your reply once again!

I understand your point, and usually pretty good about announcements, but I am really only one guy running the show (and this is not the only project I run) and have had way more going on than this in my regular life and it was an oversight. Again, it's really just me giving away my money for no reason, so I wasn't in a big hurry. It's been the kind of thing that I have supported the community more than the community has supported my efforts, so I haven't been too worried to be honest. This is more or less a side hustle at this point and the only thing I get out of it is some really poor post rewards, again, because I support the community more than they have supported me.

As far as the site, the SSL is working fine, so not sure why it's not showing as not trusted. It's hosted by Hive Engine so I don't have any control over that side of things.

We understand your struggle being the only one behind the project, and even better the feeling of giving away your money "for no reason." (Although we sell our token, there is still over 50% of our money as we constantly build up the account, and we are sharing 90% of curation earnings as the curation is the main goal of our project. And we manually curate on a daily base, that is time consuming struggle on its own while basically, we don't post except our monthly reports and just here and there some additional info sharing or updates posts. And yeah, we also share 90% of author's rewards from those posts, although we never announce it or even less our project promises it. So, we really do understand what does it mean giving support and receiving very little in return, and especially giving away own money "for no reason." But at the end of the day, it is our choice of how to support the community and help it grow with main (but not only) focus on minnows and newcomers. And despite hustle and bustle around it we feel obligated to fulfill our promises as otherwise we may easily lose trust and with it even that tiny support we are receiving in return.)

In other words, we didn't address you to criticize or even less judge you. We just wanted to know what is going on and why some things are not working anymore, so we can adjust our future plans regarding your token (HUSTLER).

Apart from that, and when it comes to the website accessibility, if it's not SSL certificate (although we still think it is), it could be about some additionally "planted" software or programs (with excessive data collection or similar) that are causing it.
However, the thing is that most if not all second layer tokens with its own interface use Hive-Engine hosting, starting from their own Tribaldex Blog, up to many others like ProofOfBrain.io, Sports Talk Social, We Are Alive And Social, Waivio, and many others which we can normally access without that "trust" issue poping up.
Therefore, we believe it's worthy to investigate if nothing because you are paying for that service.

Maybe you can ask your Discord community to test it, especially those with higher level upgraded operating system and better virus & malware protection software. (Meaning, if they have been just tag triggering the interface to collect more tokens and not actually using the interface, they wouldn't notice and know, and couldn't report it.)

However, thank you for your time! We will not bother you about it anymore. We will check back a few more times to see if anything has changed, and accordingly adjust our future plans.

I have reached out to the Hive Engine team to see if they know what the issue is. Again, other than the domain, I don’t have any control because they host the site. Thanks for your feedback though and have a good day.

Edit: apologies for coming off harsh.

No worries! No hard feelings! 😊
