Attending Hivefest 7 (Amsterdam) and Hivefest 9 (Split) and meeting all the people who make up the hive ecosystem has been the ultimate hiveXperience for me. Each time I got a huge motivational boost which led to the participation in several projects in the hive-ecosystem, participating at different fairs, conferences and exhibitions and more endurance in living through and with the depressed hive price.
Having never been to a Hivefest outside of Europe before, it was clear to me, when HivefestX was announced by live feed while attending hive creator days in Graz, I have to go there.
Unfortunately I was only able to book the flight at a very late point of time.. hence the flight is now pretty expensive and I blew already my whole budget by booking it and making the hotel reservation.
So poor @solarwarrior hopes to win a ticket in this giveaway so that he still can afford some lunch while being over there... ;-)
Taking care of the creative part of the requirement list: I thought about getting a splinterlands tattoo onto my right cheek (and consequently hivefest X onto the left one).. but given the fact, that a hivefest attendee should be of exemplary behavior - especially if the host country is deeply religious - I guess this is not such a good idea. ;-)
So question is, what is the most creative thing I did in connection to hive... aaannndd... I guess you can see it here:
NO, not that good looking #beersaturday and @worldmappin guy on the right... its the artistic upside down @solarwarrior on the left I am referring to... ;-)
PS: (no hive rally cars were harmed during this performance, please do not try at home, performed by professional hive stuntman)
So what are my hopes for attending hivefest X?
- Meet personally and get a good connection to hiveans from Asia
- Discuss the status and future of @splinterlands with the team and the fanbase (playing it since inception and having many ideas)
- to look if there is a opportunity to boost @cleanplanet project in those Asian countries that are not yet active, discussing river clean ups and barriers - there should be a huge opportunity there
- get a first hand update about @vsc.network and discover use cases / business cases
- find more hiveans that want to take part in our very own @solarisfuture project - if you have not heard of it you can find an introduction here https://peakd.com/hive/@solarisfuture/project-solarisfuture-now-officially-launched-get-your-esg-content-curated (more to come soon)
- and last but no least trying to launch an initiative to bring (micro)- aid / help-organizations and philanthropy to the hive blockchain
The last point might require some explanation: With the @solarisfuture project we not only want to bring renewable know-how and microfinance via our own HBD pool to Africa, Asia and South America but we also want to use it as show case for help-organizations to show them that hive would be their perfect web3 platform for their daily operations.
How is this? Help-organizations often battle with a big overhead, long decision times, trouble getting feedback and reporting from projects and lack of feedback, responsibility and governance what actually happend with the money. Looking at the hive borehole project you can very well see, that @mcsamm and crew already have a much better reporting than many of those multi million (billion) dollar aid projects. You can actually see people using the funds for the promised action.
So why not take it a step further: - Identifying LOCAL people that want to manage a small aid project - Helping them get onto the hive blockchain (mobile phones everywhere) - Discussing and optimizing of their projects and plans by the hive community - Budgeting and project planing by blogging on hive blockchain - Selection of project by hive-community / solarisfuture-community - Payout of project finance with HBD ( proof 100% of all funds went to the project) - Payout could also be step by step by issuing installments due to project progress - Reporting of project progress on hive blog - After finishing of project frequent blogging updates about the project and how it impacts daily live and the community - Blogging about lessons learned to encourage and enhance next / future projects - Paying back the project finance out of economic cash savings / earnings from the project back to @solarisfuture, so that next projects can be financed (no interest of course) - flywheel ready to go
So the give-away would make my trip much easier and would make me really happy as I have never won anything on hive ;-) - however this ends... already very happy if you have donated your precious time and read my whole post so far..
THX!
CU all in Kuala Lumpur!
