Hello everyone, first of all I hope that you have had a great start to the new year so far and that you are doing well! A week ago I have organized a giveaway on my blog which I would now like to draw as promised and I am pleased that so many from the Community have participated.

Thank you very much to all who participated in my giveaway and I was happy to have read new as well as old names among the participants. Thanks also to some who even shared the initiative with their other friends and linked them under my post. One of the important goals of this initiative was to give others the chance to win a prize and at the same time to support charitable projects or individuals in need who use the Hive Blockchain as a medium to share their concern and I will donate the entire income generated by the giveaway contribution. In addition, I increased the donation fund for each participant by 2 HIVE (up to a maximum of 40 HIVE or 20 participants) and rounded up the numbers a bit at the end. A total of about 20 Hiveans participated in these round and generated around 40 Hive and after the publication of this post, I will send out the prizes and the donations.

Many thanks to all participants:
