This is the penultimate delegation for 2021. For those not familiar with what I warbling about each month, and after @traciyork has published the official results for the new month's Power Up Day, I delegate 100 Hive to 3 accounts that participated in the initiative.

Why I do this?

It's a combination of paying it forward and walking the talk.

October Power Up Day

If you don't know what happens on Hive Power Up Day and how accounts stand to gain, read @traciyork's Power Up Day post and join next month?

A reminder about my delegations - if you didn't follow the link...

Each month, I set aside 300 HP that I delegate an equal share among three accounts that meet the basic Power Up Day Criteria.

In my case, though, and given my focus on redfish, the accounts must also be -

• be less than 6 months old
• have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day.
  Posts that qualify must have 200 words or more and exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.
  As a reminder, the reason I added the second criterion is because -
  Hive is a social blockchain: it's for socialising, ruminating and just generally hanging out.
• a reputation of less than 61
• not more than 500 HP in their accounts before they power up - both on the first of the month

Qualifying accounts for November

For the first time in a long while, when @traciyork sent me the list of accounts accounts that met most of the qualifying criteria, she told me that I was spoilt for choice. The final step in the process is for me to scan the accounts to verify that the accounts

• have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day, i.e. since 1 October; and that the posts do have 200 words or more (in English - because I'd like to be able to engage...) and exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.

This time there was a record twelve accounts and like last month, my due diligence meant that three fell away leaving - nine. In the 18 months that I've been doing this, this is a record. Because I like to make things fair and transparent, I used the nifty random pick tool to which Traci introduced me a while ago.

This is how things played out:

But that's not all.

Among the qualifying accounts was also a recipient of an October delegation. Some of you may remember that last month, I delegated to four accounts. The person behind that account is not just working the Hive ecosystem, but she's also supporting other redfish in their Hive endeavours, so I have decided to retain the fourth delegation which will go to @samsmith1971.

Proof of delegation:

But that's not all

Remember that in addition to the delegations, these accounts are added to my fanbase and receive a daily 100% upvote; I also ask @ginabot to notify me each time they post. If I have an opportunity, I pop over and have a gander and occasionally weigh in on whatever the post may be about.

A last word - or two

Thanks as always to @traciyork, @victoriabsb and @hivebuzz for all the hard work they do each month - and around the blockchain, generally.

Thanks too, to @doze for the super Hive graphics that he develops and shares for us all to use. Do check out his posts and perhaps drop by and show some Hive love.

Until next time, be well

Post script
If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

• From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

• Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community by clicking on the logo.

• I am participating in the twice-yearly initiative to post a blog a day for a month on the Hive blockchain.
  
• I also share my occasional Instagram posts to the crypto blockchain, Hive, using the new, and really nifty phone app, Dapplr. On your phone, click here or on the icon, and give it a go.
