My experience with Hive and LeoFinance so far

in #hive3 years ago

I'll be coming up on being here on Hive for 6 weeks pretty soon, so I figured I should write something about my experiences here so far.


Firstly, I've found the communities here to be more welcoming than initially expected. Though I still think there's major room for improvement, things around here are better than in most places.

My most recent posts have been received quite well, although I'm slightly disappointed that nobody has commented on the art I've made for my posts.

LeoFinance has been especially welcoming, making up a significant chunk of interactions on my recent posts.

One thing I'd like to encourage people to do is comment more often, most people with over 40 Hive Power are letting their Resource Credits go to waste by not commenting more often. At 40 Hive Power you can comment ~8 times a day, or around 40 times if you're at full Resource Credits. Once you get up to 100 Hive Power you can comment ~19 times per day or around 98 times if you're at full Resource Credits.

I'd also like to mention the PAL, Neoxian City, and Bilpcoin tribes. You should learn a bit more about the various tribe sites that are built on top of Hive if you've not heard of them before.

I'm not sure how long I'll keep up these somewhat daily posts, though I have a feeling I'll be sticking around for quite a while in general.

I'm considering making my next post a review of Minetest, in part because Neoxian City has a server.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Commenting used to be more common. Before one of the forks (21? maybe 22) comments were "worth" upvoting, but now because a lot of people only vote on posts that are likely to get good awards comments are not voted on (also only awards worth 2 cents or higher are awarded, anything below that goes back into the reward pool, so most peoples upvotes won't get to that level so it is really a wasted upvote. That has been around for a while. I am not sure how many upvotes I wasted on comments before I realised that). There was a significant drop in commenting and interacting on posts after that. But the pay off was less comment spam. I'm not sure the payoff was worth it though... The fact you are getting comments at all is a good thing, but they are likely to be specific to the community you post in, and people are much more likely to comment on something they have a strong reaction to than art, which is a real shame. Unless you post your art to more arty communities of course. Keep up the good work my friend (and for the record, I like your art!)

That's weird, one of my highest pending payouts is on a comment I made, and my first curation reward was from a comment as well.

As for the dust threshold, I use @dustsweeper for that reason.

It's kind of disappointing that people need encouragement to comment here, I wonder if there's anything that can be done about that.

I do upvote comments. Every day.
Maybe 10-20 of my vote power goes on comments. Because it is NOT a wasted power anymore here on LEOFINANCE

Have you monetized your art on nftshowroom.com?

I'm not sure if things like wallpapers would quite fit there, especially as they don't usually take more than 3-4 hours to make.

Also, if your moniker is any indicator, you might not like one of my upcoming posts. Then again, if you like Hive, maybe you will.

I think wallpapers is what it is for.
I didn't have any problems getting whitelisted, and I am difficult.

if your moniker is any indicator

You can't always take things at face value.
You a socialust, or what?

I'm making an analysis on Hive's economic model, guess you'll see when it goes up.

Yes, most likely I will get to read it.
I'm all for alternatives to the status quo.

3 hours is probably longer than it took to make the average NFT sold on Rarible - which seems less focused on high art than NFT Showroom.
