Announcement HivePUD October 1 2021.jpg
 
 
In just about four more days, the next Hive Power Up Day (aka #HIvePUD) will be here! In fact, the @hivebuzz countdown timer is now ticking down the days. Be sure to check it out on the HiveBuzz site (under the "Challenges" tab) so you don't miss your chance to earn a badge while you power up and build your Hive account!

As I mentioned in July's announcement post, I've changed things up a bit with these Power Up Day posts. I'm now excluding all my usual Power Up Day info (other than the basics and the prizes) and at some point in the next few days it will be posted as one FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) reference that I will link to from here on out.

For the moment, if you'd like more information about Power Up Day, please check out the Announcement post from July 2021. And speaking of, here are some announcements for this month...

 
 

Did I mention these are the Announcements? :)

  1. The payout from this post (aka the beneficiaries) is split equally between the three winners from September's HivePUD, so @thefew.studio, @hive-189901 (the Bikeworld community), and @shauner will each get 33%.
  2. The payout for the next post ("Welcome to HivePUD" on the 1st) will go to the top 3 winners of @victoriabsb's Hispanic #HPUD initiative (also 33% each).
  3. The payout for the Unofficial Winners post on the 3rd or 4th will go to @steevc's project, @tenkminnows.
  4. The payout for the Official Winners post will go 80% to me, and 20% to my numbers guy @abh12345 (unlike the 100% to Asher oopsie I did last month...lol).
  5. Prizes Dropped Last month I heard from both @alokkumar121 and @jeanlucsr that they would no longer be offering delegation prizes (although Jean-luc has a cool idea for a new prize in the future). Many thanks to you both for sponsoring when you did - it was much appreciated!
  6. Prizes Added! After losing the two above, I shouted out to a couple of people, who graciously agreed to sponsor new ones starting this month. Check out the details about @raymondspeaks and @apeminingclub's offerings in the prize list below, and thank you both!
  7. Intergalactic Hive Power Up Day Giveaway by @forykw For the second month in a row, @forykw is sponsoring a Power Up Day giveaway with some awesome prizes. Be sure to check out his post - HiVE 💪Power 🔥🔥🔥Up 😎Day - Intergalactic Giveaway! for all the details.

 
 

What is HivePUD?

Hive Power Up Day happens on the first of every month. Those who are able to, take this time to power up some Hive, and/or cancel their power downs and pause trading/selling for the 24 hour span of the day.

 
 

How to qualify for HivePUD prizes

  • Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70.
  • Your total Hive Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
  • You must power up at least 10 Hive on October 1st.
  • You must write a post about your power up on October 1st (your local time) with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Spanish).

 
To be included in the winners list, you must meet all four requirements above. The order of the list (first place, second place, and so on) will be determined by the biggest PERCENTAGE of Hive powered up, not necessarily the most Hive powered up.

 
 

How to get HiveBuzz badges

Hopefully, I didn't steal too much attention... The important part is for people to learn more (especially the new ones arriving) and in my view, these new simple steps of powering up are great to raise all those questions people have about keychain and what power up is all about.

Thanks again.

Honestly, I never had the attention span to read through all these promotional posts. Thats also the thing that got me on steemit. There was just too much of this curate this and curate that stuf. I don't mind being the target of these, just don't have the stamina to read through all of the info contained in these posts. Hope it all works out well for all those that do read them.

I just saw this,I might not qualify since i have below 100HP but i'd certainly power up tomorrow at least 10 Hive just to obtain the badge and also make my first power up post.

Awesomeness! That's the spirit, @samostically! And while you might not qualify for the main prize pool this month, everyone who does the power up & post that match the requirements above will be in the drawing for the three 10 HIVE power prizes, even if their account is too small/big. 😊

Jesus Christ that's a lot of hoops to jump through or make sure you fit through just to participate. Can't this contest be more simplified?
