This has been a post I've been meaning to make since Zing claimdrop started but been a bit behind on a lot of posts. For now you can still earn staked Zing by holding POSH tokens and the POSH tokens can be earned! Unfortunately not through Twitter anymore since they went crazy on their API costs (asking $42k/month for our needs), but it's still available for Reddit!
Okay so let's dive into a quick:
How to get started
- Go to https://hiveposh.com/
- login with hive keychain
- login with Reddit authentication
- Share Hive posts on Reddit
That's about it, once you're registered on the website it'll show your linked Reddit and Twitter accounts like this:
Another cool thing about this is that on @peakd it'll show your linked accounts in your profile, so people can easily go to your Twitter or Reddit page if they want to follow you there!
Okay, so once that's done:
How can you earn POSH which will get you Zing?
It's quite easy, you just take a post link from most popular front-ends (hive.blog, @peakd, @ecency, @inleo, etc) and post it onto a subreddit.
The hard part is finding subreddits that allow linkdrops from platforms that aren't already giant companies, so do your due diligence by reading the subreddit rules and some times trial and error.
The only rules we have is to not share in subreddits that are hive-specific, i.e. hivers have created them (like r/hivenetwork) which the bot won't pick up and it won't allow you to earn POSH there.
Right now though we are allowing posts shares to earn in the r/holozing subreddit so people can try it out and get used to the bot!
So what does it look like when you successfully share a post?
Here's an example, I shared @dalz's post about Solana statistics in the r/solana subreddit yesterday:
@redditposh/re-dalz-solana-surges-in-price-and-activity-or-data-on-wal80543
You can tell that it picks up any links, whether the sharer is registered with hiveposh or not, as you can see the first link goes to my share while the second one goes to someone who responded to my share and shared his own version with the post link inside a longer post: https://www.reddit.com/r/solana/comments/18r9grk/solana_family_growing_welcome_to_solana/
How do the rewards work?
It's quite simple, every day the @redditposh bot (created and maintained by @hivetrending) takes all the eligible shares and puts them together in a post where they share the daily 25 POSH between how well they did on Reddit. The POSH amount can be adjusted, it's low right now cause there's a low amount of people sharing. Then after 7 days of that post, you receive your POSH in your hive-engine wallet as long as you didn't get banned from POSH for doing something fishy.
If we see activity grow we may even start curating the comments of @redditposh (which 100% go to the registered sharers) so you could earn both POSH and Hive and Zing!
Now with the earned POSH you can naturally either sell it for Hive or hold it to earn some Zing, or do whatever you like as you've earned them!
The goal for POSH is to help drive traffic to our front-ends and the Hive ecosystem as we believe more social users should know about us and try us out!
