As many of you probably know, Ecency Points could be earned by simply using Ecency, delegating HP and it can also be purchased via in-app purchases from Ecency mobile apps as well as with HIVE and HBD transfers.

How purchase with HIVE/HBD works?

Each transfer of HIVE and HBD, were creating points in return. We were sending those tokens back to DHF. Transferring any amount of HIVE/HBD to @esteem.app with points or estm-purchase would give some points. Those tokens were then sent back to DHF, latest one is:

@ecency/points-sale-sent-to-dhf-3f6ebbee9b60b

Why, when discontinued?

Some thought purchasing with HIVE and HBD is indirectly vote buying which is not 100% accurate description. Because every content boost requests are reviewed by independent curators and curation is never guaranteed, as oppose to vote buying which was automated and guaranteed in early days.
Our thought process was to create more use cases for HIVE and HBD within ecosystem, but if this service is cause of vote buying/selling view or being abused or encouraging abuse even, better for us to discontinue it. So we are shutting down points purchase with HIVE and HBD from 20th August, 2022. After 20th August, any new transfers will be sent back to origin and final balance of @esteem.app will be sent to DHF.

Curation project overview

We are attempting to make table of all curation projects on Hive but gathering that info is difficult or sometimes not available (at discretion of founders). We better leave it to project owners to create such table for easy referencing.
Here we present Ecency curation with few simple questions/answers:
