Happy August Power Up Day - my 8th #HPUD badge

Tuesday, 1st of August 2023 [81]

It’s that time of the month when Hiveans rush to power up their Hive. Newbies and oldies who believe in the future of Hive blockchain know the importance of powering up regularly.

Why Power Up at all? Because it makes sense. The bigger your Hive Power, the bigger your influence on Hive blockchain. When you want to vote on your favourite posts, you need HP for your vote to leave a monetary mark. Consecutively, whenever you vote, half of your vote value comes back to your wallet. That’s why Powering Up Hive matters.

While posting regual, high quality articles is of most importance to add value to Hive blockchain as well as earn rewards, the importance of curation rewards can not be underestimated. It’s that magical money that lands in your wallet while you sleep - a true passive income.

Before that income becomes passive, some activity has to be completed and Powering Up your Hive is that needed activity.

While I Power Up my hive on (somewhat) regular basis by posting and curating, the Power Up Day is one of my favourite ways of doing it, because on that day many other Hiveans do exactly the same and it feels like a celebration day, after which we receive a new badge of the size appropriate to our power up.

So far, since my start of posting here at the end of October 2022, I collcted 8 of those badges, although only 7 out of 8 this year. May the 1st I remember I fall asleep on the sofa after coming back from the salsa congress and forgot it was a PUD! 😂 Oh well, worse things happen.


Last month although I powered up 50 Hive on the Power Up Day, I didn’t write the usual post, but today is time to get back on track and try my luck of winning some prizes. Cause there are prizes for participants and if you are not familiar with #HPUD check out @traciyork ‘s post here.

In short, the requirements to be considered for the prizes are:

(Screenshot from @traciyork post from June HPUD).


My main account growth in July was… well, insignificant. Looks like I only posted 3 times and received benefactor reward for #hivegarden LPUD post, althought I know I made 2 more posts at the beginning of July that don’t show on the graph. Still… 5 posts on the main account is a rather poor performance.

You can see I did a fair attempt at #PUM - Powering Up 1 Hive a day until around 20th of July and then one day got lost and that’s my PUM badge gone 🙈 No wonder only around 60 people manage to get that badge each month. It’s not so easy remembering to Power Up/post 100% Powered Up post every single day of the month. I’ll try again in August though!


For the first time my alt account @fantagira7 experienced more growth than my main. Nice and regular candles too. That’s thanks to my regular #Actifit reports, which became even more regular during #Poliac competition. My #SaturdaySavers posts are also published from my alt, together with all gaming and financial topics.


Right, without making this post longer than it needs to be, let’s jump to the act. I transferred some of my Hive from my alt to main to make a nice round Power Up of 50 Hive to catch up for my slacking during the month.

Trust my order to get filled right after I Powered Up 😂 That’s not an issue though, I’ll need some loose Hive laying in my wallet to try my luck with PUM again this month.


My total stake after Powering Up 50 Hive is now 1413.82HP. Higher curation reawrds coming up 😁

That's it for today. Happy Power Up Day everyone! There are still 4h left till the end of the day if you haven’t powered up yet.

Until next time 💙

Hey, don’t get me wrong momo (btw that’s a nickname my ex have me too 😉) it is possible to do it and I have already 3 PUM badges from the beginning of the year. You just need to commit and put your mind to it every day and recently mind seems to struggle focusing 🙄

Good luck to you too! 🤞

Congrats on your power up, Monika.
Lately, I am becoming a fan of the actifit reports with my alt account, hehe. It keeps me motivated.
I hope August will be a productive and good month for you. 💙

I noticed Eli and I !love seeing it. I find it so easy to post almost daily, as I always say to myself - just write couple sentences to record steps and very rarely it ends up that short 😂
It kinda became my little diary 😁

And to you too Jackie! I missed going through many PUD posts yesterday, as there were so many, but it always makes me happy to see so many people participating every month and all the buzzing on Hive on the first day of new month. Feels like a vibrant community that believes in the power of this blockchain 😍

Hello there :) I'm really starting to love Hive and I remember talking to you and Duvinca about it before I landed here. Your absolutely correct about rising your HP by powering up consistently. I'm even starting to see the benefits. I'm giving the HPUM a shot for the first time. I have to laugh because I'm already a scatter brain and it's only day two. Can I make it 31 days without forgetting one day? Time will tell I guess. Let's get that badge together!! I wish the best for you this month !HUG

Oh, I’m so happy to read this Bob! Hive really is a great place to get involved. It’s complex, granted, but once the main mechanics sync in we can see its power and learn more about it every day. The opportunities are endless, but growing our HP is a solid base that we all need first.

PUM is tricky to complete, but I did it 3 months in a row, so I’m sure I can do it again and so can you! Maybe we should write each other a comment to remind ourselves to Power Up. I just did mine before writing this comment 😁

I just did mine two minutes ago, this is the time I will do mine plus or minus an hour or two. Probably more on the plus side since it's 4:18 in the morning, haha. My first 500 HP took forever I'm almost at 1000 HP a month and half later. I struggle being consistent reading and writing at times because I can't find a way not to be busy in RL

Almost could be if I powered up everything I have. I wrote 13 articles last month and had some good luck on one article in particular but that probably won't happen again. Oh yes 5/5 on PUM so far

You are getting there Monika. The good thing with two accounts is overall your growth is cool, and the actifits are a great way to record your walks and get tokens and HP too , so all good!

Yeah, actifit reports are easy and kinda got in a habit of posting them pretty much daily, so that’s a nice boost ☺️
Just need to write a bit more on the main account now 💙
