Witness Updates

We're currently ranked 69/63. We saw 61 for a moment there but it looks like some higher ranked servers came back online or some big votes came in which pushed us back down. Even with that said, we saw more support come in over the past week! We appreciate the continued support of this community!

1st Annual hive.pizza Christmas Album

This past week we were thrilled to announce the hive.piza Christmas Album which features several artists from right here in the HIVE community! HIVE offers an incredible opportunity for musicians to build their own fanbase and communities and the PIZZA crew is helping to build and provide some of those opportunities!

You can read the announcement post and see which artists are featured in the announcement post here.

You can listen to the playlist free of charge and even donate to the musicians on our holiday stream page here.

Bot adjustments

We continued to made adjustments to the Pizzabot tokenomics this week. If you're unsure what we're talking about, please see the bot change announcement in the post here.

Adjustments are as follows:

Level 1 - 6 uses per 24 hour period
Level 2 - 12. uses per 24 hour period

Timeline Extension

This past week the Philippines experienced a category 5 super typhoon which caused extreme devastation in some areas. First and foremost, we're sending our dearest wishes to those in the PH community who were impacted or had friends and family impacted. The storm caused fatalities and massive infrastructure and structural damage throughout the islands and in areas such as Cebu.

If you would like to help out, some Hivians are helping to raise funds to help with impact recovery. Please reach out to @tpkidkai or check out the donation drive post here. @hiveph

For those who do not know, I work in the tech sector and lead a pretty large workforce with a large % of that workforce residing in PH. That impact + AWS Cloud Services going down at the same time (which many of our services rely on) put me in a position where I worked around ~100 labor hours last week to support the disaster and maintain the systems we could, while also trying to locate our employees and ensure everyone was safe and sound. I had minimal sleep and not only pulled several double shifts, but also pulled a full 24 hour work session to facilitate some specific needs.

This event has put me behind schedule by at least 1.5 weeks on our current timeline for releasing staking rewards and announcing a few other items such as the NFTs we hinted at. Due to this I need to ask you all for an extension on the timeline.

Instead, next Sunday we will review our progress and announce a new date along with a few sneak peaks of Website 2.0 and maaaaaybe some NFTs. I'm sorry that we have to push this date back and have to ask for your understanding and forgiveness for those who were waiting in anticipation. We just need a bit more time...and maybe a little sleep at some point. We love you guys!

Merry Christmas everyone!
