Hivebits (HBIT) is a token on Hive-Engine, a sidechain to the Hive blockchain. HBIT is about slowly getting little bits of Hive. It began 01/01/2022. Starting 09/10/2022, HBIT integrated with @Wusang for the Wusang: Isle of Blaq game. The only changes:
@Hivebits blends Hive's blockchain with the ethos of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is mined by effort, by "proof-of-work". Similarly, HBIT is mined by effort, call it "proof-of-comment" or "proof-of-effort." Your effort yields your reward. HBIT can be "mined" simply by commenting anywhere on the Hive blockchain (except to this source account of 
!hivebits or !HBIT or !hbit or $HBIT. Any of these will work.
Note: the "!" command must include 3 or fewer "!" command, else your HBIT will be skipped.
You might wish to make your own "HBIT-Wusang post" dedicated to mining Hivebits and searching for Wusang tokens. You could reply to that post each day. Your mined tokens will show up in your Hive-Engine wallet.
Understand, the intent is one HBIT per person per day, not one HBIT per username per day. No farming with alt names. Remember, everything on a public blockchain is public and visible. I don't wish to block anyone, so please do not abuse HBIT.
!hivebits or !HBIT or !hbit or $HBIT or !WUSANG or !wusang along with anything else you wish to say.A few rules:

Background
I started the @LUVshares project as a comment-based tip/engagement/appreciation token with the intent of sharing love with others on the Hive chain. It seems to have been well-received. In time, it became clear that some users were issuing LUV to themselves using alternate accounts. They were self-tipping. Although the engagement is appreciated, LUV's goal is to give to others.
Enter HBIT. Here, a Hive user can mine for one's self. This is actually the exact intent of Hivebits: Your effort, your reward.
It's worth noting: within a 24 hour period, the intent for HBIT mining is per-person, not per-username. If users are suspected of abusing this, they'll be contacted and possibly blocked.
HBIT is a comment-based token similar to others on Hive, like LUV. However, HBIT works differently...
!HBIT (or another HBIT command), and only 10% for the person being replied to. HBIT is a comment-mine token because the replier gets most of the token.The replier/miner can get 100% simply by replying to himself or herself. Don't feel selfish if you do this...this is the original intent of HBIT. Your effort, your reward.
The !HBIT (or another HBIT command) command should work anywhere on Hive EXCEPT in response to the

If you're wondering, "Where's my HBIT?", you can monitor your HBIT status in your H-E wallet, using an H-E explorer (option A or option B), or by viewing the hbit-log on Discord (best for real-time).
When HBIT notifications are turned on a confirmation reply is received essentially saying, "You got HBIT." The person you are replying to also gets notified by your comment. Please be mindful to not spam other users. A Hivebits command in response to another person should be part of a genuine response, or with someone whom you connect regularly. They will get a small bit of HBIT which might be considered a "royalty" for writing the post that's being replied to. Still, remember that they did not ask for this and remember that they will get a ping notification. Please be mindful of this.
You may eventually wish to make your own post/page dedicated specifically for HBIT mining. For instance, you might make something like a post called, "My HBIT mine". There, you could comment and earn 100% of the HBIT without anyone else receiving notifications.
HBIT is all about slow-and-steady persistence. It's about getting on chain, exerting a little effort, then gaining little bits of Hive. Like your morning coffee...daily Hivebits, daily HBIT.
"What's it worth?", you ask. I don't know. The value of HBIT will be determined by the open-and-free market. That's how value works.
The market is at https://hive-engine.com/trade/HBIT I also made some value checker tools: HEconverter and HiveTipTokens to help answer questions like, "How much is it worth right now?"
Hivebits started Jan. 1, 2022 with a "fair launch." By this, I mean that everyone started out with zero HBIT and everyone will have the same opportunity to earn HBIT via mining. See details on the HBIT introduction post.
There are only three ways HBIT can be obtained: (a) mine it, or (b) receive it as a gift after someone else has mined it, or (c) buy it on the open market after someone else has mined it. The @Hivebits account will not sell or give HBIT. The account exists solely to distribute the token. Thus, behind every HBIT, or small bit of HBIT, there has been someone's conscious effort and activity on the Hive blockchain. If nothing else, HBIT is backed by this fact.
Once in users' wallets, HBIT can be held, given, or sold. "Price discovery" on the market will reveal the HBIT value.
Possible use-cases for HBIT are:
You mine HBIT. On the Hive-Engine market, you sell HBIT to gain SWAP.HIVE You withdraw the SWAP.HIVE to get HIVE. On a market with a HIVE/BTC pairing, you sell HIVE to gain BTC. It would be very small, but boom!...HBIT-to-BTC. Hive-to-Bitcoin.
Issuance/minting and emission: see the HBIT introduction post. But, the bottom line: HBIT is released only when a Hive user consciously mines it with the command...every HBIT is backed by someone's effort.
A disclaimer: there are no guarantees with HBIT in any way. Consider this entertainment. Regarding the bot, I'll try to keep it running, however I'm sure there will be down times. Also, my primary focus will be to maintain LUV.
