The Hive Gamification Proposal for 2022

avatar
(Edited)

Our current proposal is slowly coming to an end and we invite you to renew your support to our project for the next year.

What is Hivebuzz?

HiveBuzz is a project that is designed to bring gamification to the Hive blockchain by:

  • tracking users' activity and achievements
  • notifying them of their progress
  • organizing contests and challenges
  • interacting personally with users

Users are awarded with virtual badges that reward them when they are active on the Hive blockchain or when they participate in a contest or challenge.

Users can check their achievements on the HiveBuzz Website and look up their ranking to compare themselves to others on the Ranking page.

The HiveBuzz project has been initiated 5 years ago by @arcange, a now renowned actor of the Hive ecosystem. HiveBuzz is one of the oldest projects on the platform that is still alive, and from the very beginning, it has been much appreciated and receives very positive feedback and support from the whole Hive community every day.

Work done

The year 2021 was rich in novelties despite some difficulties encountered with this damn covid.

We created the brand new Hive Tour to familiarize new users in a fun and interactive fashion with the way our blockchain and its ecosystem operate.

We then made several additions to help them discover:

We have created several new badges for calendar events like

And last but not least the Hive Birthday badge for users being on the Hive blockchain for 5 years.

We made some of these badges available on our shop where you can customize and put them on your favorite items.

We supported and participated in the first edition of Spanish Community Meetup, an awesome success with more than 140 participants and renowned speakers.

As each year, we have been actively adding fun things to HiveFest⁶ with the attendee badge, the meetings contest and by being present at the event thanks to the virtual reality.

PUD, PUH and PUM

These three acronyms have also gained their fame.

We animate the Power Up Day every 1st day of the month. We see each time appear many publications about it, even outside our ecosystem, on twitter in particular.

The Power Up Helper, introduced last year confirms each month how supportive the Hive community is for newcomers. In April, we started supporting users who regularly attend Power Up Day with Hive Power delegations.

The Power Up Month is an additional challenge we introduced a few months ago to raise the bar a bit! A challenge which, despite its very simple rules, turned out to be much more difficult to succeed than expected since, as of writing, only 50 Hive users managed to get a PUM badge.

The year is not over yet! We still have a few badges in our bag to end the year on a high note!

Existing proposal renewal

The purpose of this proposal is to renew the current proposal which expires in a few days for the year 2022.

The HiveBuzz project has proven over time to be an excellent motivator and user retention tool. It also helps to strengthen the feeling of belonging to a community. All this with a fun and positive approach.

We don't want to stop there and want to be able to continue to infuse these positive values on Hive.

We have many new ideas for next year like:

  • revamp our board design (it's slowly getting a little crowded with all those badges)
  • improve ranking design to provide more meaningful performance indicators.
  • new challenges from our boxes.

We also plan to change a few things of Power Up Day, Power Up Helper and Power Up Month to make it more fun and rewarding.

Finally, next year will be the 2022 FIFA World Cup! Do you remember how we organized it 4 years ago (a one month longh challenge with multiple updates per day to manage, crazy us) and how a blast it was for those who participated!

Request for Funding

With the recent incoming flow of new users on Hive thanks to Splinterlands and other Hive projects' success, we have seen our workload increase drastically, both in terms of infrastructure costs and human resources.

The number of active users has exploded compared to the beginning of the year and we now manually process more than 2,500 replies every month in a personalized way (it doubled compared to January 2020).

Our servers are also much more called upon to provide information since we opened our API and we recently had to upgrade our infrastructure for more storage and better performances.

Considering the elements mentioned above, we are asking for 190 HBD per day.

1. Infrastructure ($750/month)

  • servers (web, processes, database and storage)
  • security and monitoring
  • maintenance and backups services

2. Graphic Design and Web Development (2 persons - $2500/month)

  • Creation of new challenges and contests with prizes to win
  • Design and implementation of new badges
  • New features like footer creator, badge creator, contest creator, …

3. Communication and Community management (2 persons - $2500/month)

  • Daily interaction with users
  • Communication around new badges, challenges, contests and features
  • Translation management (we do our best to support all languages on Hive)
  • Events organization
  • Guiding starters

We are committed to keeping you informed about our activities, and as we did during the previous funding, we will do a regular report of the work carried out and project status.

Thanks for all the work and the badges of course! Just like I support your witness with my modest vote, I supported the new proposal. I wasn't around here for the last World Cup, now I'm curious to see what happens for the next.

I like the way you have gamified things here and all the challenges and receiving the badges are fun. I hope it never goes away and I really liked when you introduced the Hive Tour cause it's useful for not only noobs on hive but it helps those like myself who has been around a little while but still didn't know how to do some things on hive and today I'm am still learning new things.

Keep up the good work!

I love this gamification and like others, I find it helpful due to its motivational effect on me. I am, also, quite new to HIVE, so I still don't really know what I'm doing. I'm happy to vote (I may have already done so by clicking over on the right side of this screenshot screen??) but maybe someone who knows much more than me can tell me if I've done it (already/correctly) and if not, how to vote.

And so, as someone who doesn't have heaps of cash in HIVE (but is happy to give something as a real reflection of my support) how can I/do I give you financial support for this gamification to continue?

I know I've probably asked questions that should be asked on Discord. However, I'm still so new with Hive that even getting my head around the many things I'm already learning here (on top of running my own business and the rest of my life) it's more than enough; Discord will have to wait. So, can you please indulge me?

What should I (& anyone else who is really new to Hive who wants to support but doesn't know how) actually do to help you with this proposal?

Thanks @hivebuzz and fellow Hivians who know much more than little, willing me!!

Is there any interest in the development of a "Hive blockchain" NFT?
This nft is user generated and also provides an income. Ideally the income would go to support development of bigger more detailed games.

There needs to be a quick and simple way to go directly from Hive BD savings to powering up hive. Right now, via the Ecency app, it takes 3 days to go HBD savings to fluid, then 3.5 days to convert to Hive. Only to then power up. Yes, I could use the market. But…why isn’t there a one-button solution from HBD savings to HP?

Hi team friends @hivebuzz and friend @arcange like many in the hive I am very grateful for the work you do throughout the year and so I want to continue to support and vote for the proposal for 2022 but I do not understand what happens that the HIVESIGNER gets complicated for transactions. Now a humble proposal from me is that you guys make a tutorial type post to understand the step by step to not keep getting the message for an error: Your transaction did not transmit correctly. I think I am the voice of many who wish to support the proposal and make other transactions and don't know what exact key to use, sometimes it doesn't accept any. Well, guys I have dared to launch my proposal for you to help me and all the others who have yet to support yours. You are our unfailing friends throughout the journey through this ecosystem and we want to support you as you do with us. Infinite blessings.

LONG LIVE HIVE!

@hivebuzz i don't understand. Does this mean we are to give 190 HBD or to vote so you get it? I don't quite understand. I'm just confused as I've never done this before. You're doing a fabulous job by the way and I've given my vote. 😊

The funding is done by the DHF, a decentralized fund operated by the blockchain.
Each user can vote to decide which proposals will receive funds front the DHF.

I feel this service is important, but I'd like to see a financial breakdown showing how exactly the funding is being used before I vote for this. You could simply put out 1 blog per day to earn more than this...

I love this kind of stuff, you'll always have my vote.
I do have a question, are the personal achievements section still active or working well? I registered with hivesigner a while back, and send 1 hbd to the whale thing a while ago too, and never received either badge. Wasn't sure where to drop this question since the discord link is down on the site.
Activity section works great and overall love it though. Thanks!

I supported you before, what happened to my support? Did I not delegate some HP to you? If so does that have a time limit where it ends after a period?

I have not the slightest interest in Games, so why should I be interested in supporting:

Hive Gamification Proposal?

I've bought a couple of NFT's from you, does that not support you?

we are asking for 190 HBD per day!!

Are you saying you would like EACH HIVE USER TO DONATE 190 HBD per day?
That is inconceivable. I don't have that much, I don't MAKE that much even on the best of days.

Methinks you need to "dumb it down" for folks like me that don't understand stuff that easily.
I'm willing to support, but I need to UNDERSTAND @hivebuzz and @arcange 💚

Well I guess I didn't previously donate or delegate, as I can't find it here in a page search.

We are not asking users to donate money, either HIVE or HBD.
Hive has its a own fund used to finance useful projects.

The funds we have raised through the NFT for Peace project have all been used to support Ukrainian volunteer assistance efforts for people in need.
