Have you ever heard of three women giving birth to one baby? Well, it happened, right here on the blockchain! Three years ago today, on 07-Dec-2018, TheTerminal project was founded!
In the beginning, TheTerminal was the brainchild of Ren of 
So, Ren began setting up a server on Discord and ran into some problems. She reached out to 
The three women worked beautifully together, side-by-side and on a very close level, to bring all the plans to fruition. The Discord was created on 07-Dec-2018. Two days later after much setup and testing, invitations were sent out to those interested in watching the project launch. Moderators were screened and chosen, links gathered to helpful posts that explained blockchain-related concepts, and suggestions were offered by those who helped beta-test the server. After a couple more days, TheTerminal 'officially' opened for business!
Over the past three years, we have remained faithful to our goal:
Our beloved blockchain is complex and vibrant with nonstop development, so anyone can have questions, not just newbies. Many veterans of the blockchain have come to us for a refresher in how a particular aspect of the chain works, or to learn of new dApps and features. If we do not have the answer to a particular question, we make a concerted effort to find the answers, or direct the querent to a source for those answers. No one is ridiculed in our server for asking a sincere question.
Besides answering questions, we have also sponsored many contests and challenges, conducted several intensive month-long educational sessions (our RedfishRally), collected links to helpful posts, delegated Hive Power (HP) so that those with little of their own have enough Resource Credits (RC) to grow their accounts, counseled members on being responsible citizens of the blockchain, and compiled several lists of #tags, /communities /Discords to help our Terminalers. We have sincerely done everything we could to ensure that everyone who comes through our doors has a chance to succeed on Hive.

For the sake of historical accuracy and transparency, our project was founded
on our 'legacy chain' as SteemTerminal. The project was rebranded to TheTerminal
with the launch of the Hive blockchain.
Whether one has been on the blockchain for three days or three
years, there are always questions!
Those who delegate to
The sister-project to TheTerminal is
Those who delegate to
When new users arrive on the Hive blockchain, they have no initial HivePower (HP) unless some is delegated to them. Users with no HP are allotted so few Resource Credits (RC) that only a few posts or comments will have them running out of RC quickly. This is counterproductive to growing an account and establishing a presence on the blockchain. 
Since delegated Hive Power cannot be re-delegated, we do not recommend delegating to
