The News

It is good to see the $HIVE price recovering and doing better compared to many others. On Coingecko you can say if you like it, so give it a thumbs up. It had slipped outside the top 200 coins, but is back in now. I have my own script to generate this chart.

We do need more people actually using the Hive dapps. On Hypestat you can see the main blogging sites are not ranking very highly. According to that Peakd gets 20% of its visitors from El Salvador and ranks 55th in the country. Imagine if we could do that well elsewhere. We will lose access to these statistics soon as the Alexa rankings will not be available. Are there any alternatives?

@splinterlands ranks a bit better on Alexa, but has dropped to around 20,000. It will be interesting to see how it does now that the daily quests have changed. I think this is intended to encourage more playing and make it harder for bot accounts to win much. I would rather play humans.

Hive has slipped to third on the Sourceforge reviews thanks to some negative posts. We could try to balance those out. You can actually get paid there for posting reviews, so you can get some extra income from that.

Friday Follows

• Musician @philsaatchi just joined Hive. He is based in Brighton and has played with some big names.
• Another musicians is bassist @pugdebass, but he is also studying hydrology, which could be vital in maintaining fresh water supplies.
• I know I have mentioned @sidekickmatt many times in these #FollowFriday posts, but he puts out some great comics, including The Real Superheroines of Hive Valley. You will need to go back through those to see the whole story.
• @killerwot has been really busy lately, including working with @filmmaking4hive on the Hive movie.

@nathen007 and @nicklewis also did #FollowFriday posts last week.

All these people get a share of the post rewards.

The End

I will be posting a new #BritList tomorrow. If you know any Brits who have not been active recently then perhaps you can nudge them. Even a single vote will make them show as active. If people do not have time to use Hive then they can set up to follow trails on Hive Vote. Even if they are not earning much it is important to have all the HP actively working. If you know people who could benefit from a Hive account then you can mentor them in getting started. I know it is not easy at the start.

Our witness votes will start to fade if we are not active, so you should update those or vote for a proposal to be sure your votes still count.

Have a great weekend.
