Looking to make more minnows in 2024

steevc in #hive • last year

I have been operating the @tenkminnows account since March 2019 with the aim of boosting the number of Minnows here. Back then we were still on the old chain. Numbers peaked around 9300 before the fork and then dropped. We have not managed to get back above 9000 since then, but we are now pretty close.

Stats from @arcange

I have used HiveVote to automate this. I just went through the list and found that a fair few people had graduated. Some others have gone inactive, so I dropped them. It is therefore time to look for more candidates.

My criteria have not really changed. You need to meet these criteria:

Be actively posting with quality posts. You need to be commenting too and just using Threads or Waves will not count. It is up to you to build support for your account.
Do not be powering down. I want to support people who are building up their HP.
Have under 570HP. The threshold for Minnow is just above that. If you are nearly there and getting good votes then you probably do not need these extra votes.

Send me your nominations of those who could use some extra support to get to Minnow quicker.

The support of @tenkminnows can be significant. I and others delegate to it and the account itself is getting close to Dolphin thanks to curation rewards. Some people follow the voting trail. You should not expect to continue to get these votes once you become a Minnow. This is why you need to build your following. We need more votes to come from people who actually read the posts. I would encourage manual voting anyway. The big curation accounts have too much power in my opinion. I do not pay people for delegating to this project, but following the trail will get your votes to people who need support.

You should support the people who you think add value to Hive and provide the content you want to see.

If you know people who need an account then I can create them. Get in touch if you need help with that. I will consider delegating to start them off.

The success of Hive is down to each of us. We can spread the word about it and support those who join.

Hive five!

@paulmoon410 is my nomination

paulmoon410 11 months ago

I'm not even sure what this is exactly... but I appreciate that.

I can't do it alone!

It's my nomination to have your account included in the @tenkminnows upvote list

@paulmoon410 is already a Minnow and so not eligible for votes. We concentrate on levelling up the smaller accounts. Established accounts should have built some support already.

ndk.focus 11 months ago

I am sorry, I should have checked.

I am not 100% on this, but does each aquatic animal name correspond to a different total amount of staked Hive (HP) per account?

If this is so, is there somewhere you can refer me to where this information is stated?

tenkminnows 11 months ago

The levels are based on VESTS, which are the internal blockchain representation of HP. You can see your number on HiveBuzz. When you get to a million you will be a minnow, then a dolphin at 10 million etc. They are just numbers, but someone decided to allocate these levels for gameify it.

!LUV your work. Thanks, mate.

I vote for Monioluwa (@monioluwa). He's crazy busy with his job in Nigeria so he struggles to be consistent but he's been trying for a while now and gets on when he can. His HP is well under the threshold. (Never sure if people are powering down or not! So I have to leave this check to you).

Also, @abenad is very new. (Too new for what you're doing here, Steve? I'm always unsure of the many backend things and metrics). She's showing up consistently. Writing thoughtful posts and commenting like a decent Hivean. Leave you with it! Abenad, this may not make any sense to you as a newbie. Don't worry. If Steve feels you meet the criteria, he'll explain it all :)

Hello. It's been quite a while. 😄

I just decided to drop by and say hi to you, and then I saw your tag. Thank you very much for always having me in mind. I really appreciate that you're always looking out for me. 😊

I've taken on more responsibilities since the last time I was here, and I've gotten more busy than usual, but I'll try as much as I can to visit here more often.

consciouscat 11 months ago

Hiiiiii !LUV

I have missed your face! I hope the extra responsibilities (at work? or at home?) are interesting and good challenges to have. Are they?

Do the best you can. No one can ask for more than that. (If they're reasonable humans, that is :P !LOL)

You need to build up your account a bit first. You need more followers and to have more posts. This scheme would only give you an extra few cents, so you still have to put in the work.

Of course. I have added a few suggestions already. I just need to keep the numbers manageable.

buen dato amigo, realmente se me hace difícil publicar en Hive , pero trato de dar mi aporte comentando activamente todos los días de mi vida, quería saber cómo llego salgo de la categoría pez rojo osea la categoría más pequeña, cuantos hp debo tener en mi cuenta??

steevc last year

I know you comment a lot, but posts tend to make more. Find communities you are interested in and post about what you enjoy.

To be a Minnow you need about 570 HP. You can see here how many VESTS you have. They need to reach a million. Those are equivalent to HP and the conversion keeps changing due to the inflation.

Have fun.

michelmake last year

I typically have ecency points that are unused. I then go through post feeds to find posts of relatively new users in order to boost them. Is there a list of current tenkminnows to that I can boost these if their posts are good?

steevc last year

I can't easily generate a list of people, but you can check who the account votes for.

I have loads of ecency points, but a lot of my boosts seem to get rejected. I don't use them on my own posts. What are the criteria for success on that?

michelmake last year

Ok ill have deeper look i to the votes then, thanks! Regarding the points same here, I looked into it and there wasn’t a clear answer. It really depends on the curator looming at the post. I read a minimum of 200 words, english and no obvious easy gains posts are the typical requirements. But even when I try to boost based on that they often get rejected 🤷‍♂️
