I know everyone is pumped about $Hive right now and I don't want to kill that vibe. Let me just sprinkle some more toppings on the good vibes that we are experiencing right now. And this additional topping is brought to you by @ecency's latest update on the Ecency web app!
If you are paying attention to the details of your Ecency app you will notice a cool-looking Resource Credit level tracker/indicator, right there:
pretty cool right?
And there's another here on the Create Post page...
And there's another on the Comment Box...
You might not realize the importance of this new tool by Ecency but let me tell you... This is going to change your Hive experience from here on.
For the most part of your growth here on Hive, you are mainly focused on your Hive Power, however, there's another important asset or resource you haven't realized yet and that's the Resource Credit or simply RC.
The RC is the "credit"/"a form of token or currency" that allows you to perform transactions here in the Hive platform. These transactions are upvoting posts, making comments, making posts, reblogs, & making transfers; it's a big deal.
And it's an especially big deal for the new users who have enough RC to make a few transactions each day. It's a big deal for the new users who only have 10 gRC (5.50 HP) or 20 gRC (11 HP); these are the kinds of users who have a very limited number of transactions per day. And the indicator that Ecency has provided on the frontend is the most helpful info that these new users will need.
I was once a new user on this platform and had a low RC level back then; there was a time when I'm feeling frustrated about why my transactions can't get through and all the frontend is saying was that there was an "internal error". And I don't even know what it meant until I found out that my RC is depleted. That was a really bad "user experience" back then.
There's another advantage that I wanted to point out here.
Yes, I have a lot of RC which is more than enough to last me a lifetime, in fact, I wasn't bothered by the level of RC that I have until I started claiming Account Creation Token or ACT. My full RC level is 14.234 trillion RC, it sounds like a lot but it's only good enough to create one (1) ACT every 2-3 days. That's true if I don't want to deplete my RC completely. And in my case, claiming an ACT is done manually.
With the Ecency RC indicator displayed on my profile, I'm certain that I can do proper management of my RC. And I can make sure that I can fully utilize my RC by claiming ACTs almost immediately when my RC level is enough to claim a new one(s). So, this update is pretty helpful for everyone and I'm certain that the users of Hive through the Ecency app will start paying attention to their Resource Credit from now on.
Lastly, I want to congratulate the Ecency team for the continuous improvement of the Hive user experience with the Ecency app. Kudos!!!
