And counting....
It's quite nice to go properly through it to 100 014 HP and with the Hive Price on the uptrend too, nice way to celebrate for sure!
It's taken almost 6.5 years to get here, right from my first ever post back in August 2017: Introducing this thing I call myself.
For what it's worth...
According to HiveStats I've earned a total of 85K HP, most of the excess is thanks to Hive Dapp tokens earned being sold back into Hive.
To select a few milestones from over the years:
Through all this Hive has been a constant!
I was intending to link the above posts but I can't link anything because I don't know how to find my old posts easily. I tried: searching using my name, peakd, post titles, all useless, Google doesn't throw up my posts, even though I've downloaded the exact copies using this Hive Post Downloader tool, even copying and pasting chunks of the actual text and exact titles, Google finds NOTHING for most posts, so I gave up... I did manage to find my first post, but that was it.
Peakd's internal search is also useless. I tried that too.
So there's a challenge for us all - I can testify to the fact that our content is INVISIBLE.... Not great for a social blockchain, but that's the reality... Google dislikes Hive content for some reason. How to make ourselves visible to Google is the challenge....?!?
NB this lack of search functionality has got A LOT WORSE. I was able to find pretty much anything I wanted a few years back, now nothing, my suspicion is that anything originating from Hive has been de-ranked deliberately and severely in Google Search.
And one final thing... the main website, hive.io could do with an update, it's looking a bit 2020s...
Maybe I'll put together a proposal to source someone to design us a better looking main page, probably be the best $10K or so we could spend! (Something more like Thorchain's website, it just looks so much more engaging!). Or maybe whoever's in charge of that main website could do me a big 100K celebration favour and just spend five minutes and switch it to 'dark mode'...?
Well, 110K, then 120K, and so on and on, you gets the drift.
Anyway, in the meantime, happy hiving!
