Change is coming to Hivebits (HBIT)
A couple of changes are coming to @Hivebits (HBIT).
1. Reply to yourself
To earn HBIT in the near future, you will need to reply to one of your own posts or comments with a Hivebits command like !HBIT.
Replying to someone else's post or comment will be ignored. There are a few reasons for this change.
First, Hive tip or engagement tokens can sometimes be viewed as spam. This view exists because the unsolicited bot commands and replies can overtake a user's post or become unsightly to readers. Replying to your own post or comment should help cut this down.
Secondly, we already have great tip or engagement tokens on Hive! These are where you give to others as a free gift. Got LUV?
Third, Hivebits (HBIT) was never intended to be a "tip token." At first, it was not one at all...100% of the HBIT went to the person mining, not the person being replied to. But, since the HBIT command was in reply to someone, who then got nothing despite their post being used, a 10% tip to that poster was then built into @Hivebits. Like Bitcoin's your work = your reward Proof-of-Work, the idea behind HBIT has always been that if you put in some effort, then you should get the reward. This change is a full return to that ethos.
Unchanged...using a Hivebits command like !HBIT will earn you 1.0 HBIT. This is how Hivebits has always been...every HBIT is backed by someone's conscious effort on the Hive blockchain. The new rule will simply say that your !HBIT command must be in reply to your own post or comment, else it's ignored.
Also unchanged, HBIT can be mined once per day, the same as always.
2. A chance at bonus tokens
From the start of Hivebits, I (@crrdlx) wanted some sort of simple randomization involved to add a layer of fun. So, there will soon be a random chance to earn extra tokens.
This will happen automatically when you "mine" for HBIT with a Hivebits command. So, by mining HBIT, you just might, by luck-of-the-draw, find something new!
Stay tuned on this. More details will follow.
You might want to...
You might want to make your own "HBIT mine" post, if you haven't already. Then, since HBIT can be mined only once per day, you could simply reply to that post. This is what I've done (crrdlx) many times. Just note that when the switchover takes place, you will need to have your own such mine (or simply reply to one of your own posts/comments, either should work).
When will this go live?
The target date for this change is Saturday, September 10, 2022. Things will look like this:
Not on Hive? The top benefits of the Hive blockchain: (1) no ONE person/group runs it, (2) YOU own and control your content, and (3) YOU earn the rewards that your content generates.

Brings this token one step closer to its inspiration bitcoin. I like that. Let's see how things will develop in the future :-)
I have a question though:
Is that once every 24 hours from the last time mined or once per day with a reset at a certain time (e.g. midnight UTC)?
I hate that I don't have an exact answer to this question. Pretty sure it goes by the UTC midnight time, essentially the date.

Starting Sept 10, you will need to reply to your OWN post or comment to mine HBIT. You MIGHT also find a bonus token! Details here.
!LOL
At least it was an honest answer, I like that 😉

Okay, nice changes... Let's see how many people have not read this and will still use it as before. I just became aware today. 😅
My guess is that there will be a lot of people doing it the old way. There will be a period of education involved, which is okay.

True, I remember how people handled the POSH changes. Most people including me were confused in the beginning.

Thanks for the heads-up about the change. I wouldn't have liked it without explaining the reasons, but with them, I think it makes total sense.

Pregunta: ¿Solo tengo que colocar !HBIT en una publicación y en consecuencias debo de recibir un comentario en una de mis publicaciones por parte de dicho autor? O estoy entendiendo mal su funcionamiento

Debe responder a una de SUS PROPIAS publicaciones (o comentarios). Y, en esa respuesta, incluya !HBIT. Solo respóndete a ti mismo con !HBIT, no con otra persona.

This is an important change. I will have to learn to "answer to myself" :-)

Thank you :-)
Dear @crrdlx
is this rule still valid?
Yes, it's still valid. The intent was to cut down on people using others' posts and essentially spamming those posts with something that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Sometimes, though, I've noticed people will comment on another's post and then reply to their own post so that they then double-spam the original post! Argh! What's it called? The "law of unintended consequences" I believe. I've considered switching back, but have held off and haven't had time anyway.
Thank you very much for the information.
Things change quickly and frequently with these "tokens" and the information about the change doesn't reach everyone and is also often not easy to find - so I asked you directly and I am glad about your quick answer.
I have now stopped using hivebits because I think it creates the flavour of a self vote. I didn't feel good about responding to myself. I initially took comfort in the fact that you, as the token creator, set it that way and I understand your motives.
Even though this is a kind of mining it doesn't feel right to me.
Thank you very much and have a good time.

Hi @crrdlx, I'm mining Hivebits for a while now. Is there actually a use for this token? Or we can only continue to mine and at a certain time start swapping them for other tokens if we want too? !CTP
The use is what is made of it. Do whatever you like with the token. I see the use case currently as fun, and learning. I think both are valid uses. What grows beyond that, who knows?

That's clear, thank you for the explanation. Is there a maximum of Hbits to be mined? At how many we're at the moment? And what are you going to do when that maximum has been reached? Have you got any plans for that? !CTP

I see a lot of people mining HBIT selling them on the Hive Engine market. 🤔 However, due to the high supply and low demand of that token, the asking price of HBIT is a whopping 25 times its bid price. 😅 !PIZZA !CTP
Meaning, nobody is going to buy it? Still have to start to look into this Hive Engine Market. I thought we could just swap the tokens at the daily rate? !LUV !CTP

Cheers for the update, I think this is a good change.
HBIT was always about comment mining, not tipping.
We have !LUV for that :)
PS. Hey CR, my mine is bigger than yours 😂

Interesting. I didn't know about your project. Now I do and I'll try it out immediately:)

Anyways, I was never shy to self voting. If you don't like your own post then why do you post them?

Hi, there, a change was made so that now you must respond to your own post or comment (trying to cut down on spam to others' accounts). Just try again in reply to the comment you just made.
