Turning Satsman Earnings into Hive: My Latest 22,554-Sat Withdrawal via V4V
As Yogi Berra once said,
"It's déjà vu all over again,"
Yup, just like a few times before already, I successfully withdrew 22,554 satoshis from Satsman into my V4V wallet a few days ago.
The process is very straightforward. On 9th September I requested the withdrawal from Satsman to my V4V Lightning address.
Later on the same day I received confirmation that the withdrawal had been completed. I then checked the transaction history in V4V, where the 22,554 sats were showing as having arrived from Satsman.
I subsequently converted those sats into HIVE as HIVE was still below 4 cents per token. Of course, if HIVE goes to zero and Bitcoin goes to a million, I'll feel like a chump.
But in the meantime...
It feels good to have a regular flow of satoshi that I can channel into the Hive blockchain
"time after time, time after time."
From Bitcoin sats to Hive
V4V is a Lightning wallet built into the Hive ecosystem. It allows you to send and receive Bitcoin sats on the Lightning network, while also allowing sats held there to be converted into HIVE or HBD.
So, if you're earning satoshis through #Satsman you don't necessarily have to leave them sitting there or send them to a conventional Bitcoin wallet.
You can instead send them to a Lightning address associated with V4V, and from there bring that value into Hive.
That's what I've been doing with some of my Satsman earnings.
Here's where you can find the V4V app: https://v4v.app/
So the basic route looks like this:
Satsman → Lightning → V4V → HIVE → Hive Power
Obviously, you don't have to follow the whole route. You can keep the sats in V4V, convert them to HBD, or use them for other purposes. But if you're already earning Bitcoin elsewhere and want to increase your position in the Hive ecosystem, it's an option worth knowing about.
The Satsman Pro Max Founders Rotator
In the video I also look at a recent change to the Satsman Founder Rotator, which is designed to give founders another opportunity to receive active, verified recruits without actively promoting Satsman themselves. When someone joins Satsman directly, not through an affiliate link, that recruit will be allocated to one of the 500 Founder Members.
My Team-Builder Prize
I've been building my Satsman team since I joined about nine months ago, and a couple of days ago I received a 1,333-sat Team Builder prize after placing fourth on the weekly team-building leaderboard for September 7–13. Not too bad!
The interesting part for me is that my team is now doing much of the team-building work for me. That means that even during weeks when my own activity isn't particularly high, there can still be activity taking place further down the organisation, which is probably how I came to be one of the top "team builders" earlier this month.
But for Hive users, the part I think is most worth highlighting is the simple Satsman → V4V → HIVE connection.
I've now tested it several times, and my latest 22,554-sat withdrawal provides another example that the route works.
