PowerUp Day 💪 Delegation Giveaway


🚨🧨💥 Engagement is Required ❗❗

😏 If you could guess the title congratulations!

"New Year, New Non-Fungible Token (NFT), New Resolutions!"

The year is approaching fast, I am watching the days pass-by like even faster than when I was working. Crazy! Shouldn't it be the opposite? When you work, days go faster? Can only be, because I am doing lots, enjoying them with family mostly, and doing some of the stuff I can't usually do while working.

Resolutions? Well, this year I have one thing to finish that I haven't yet for a while. Not because isn't easier to setup, but because I want to have the time to test things my way and learn how everything was configured (to the best of my ability). That is a Hive Full node (in this case, the new HAF version of it). And because there are some goodies coming up after the HF28 in February (planned but don't forget these things can be postponed sometimes).

This will be my priority for 2025. I will make it happen this time! I also found I might need another SAS card and possibly another node to separate some stuff or have additional redundancy for my tests.

The extra node will be a smaller thing I want to get with the lowest possible power consumption, in order to have my witness there. That way, I can decide to run minimal infrastructure for a couple of hours alongside anything that needs hive data, for as much time as possible with my large UPS.

Hive Power wise, in 2025, I am not going to get as hungry for Hive as I was in 2024, but I will commit to going above 100k in this account, even if I had already passed that (if counting with my witness @atexoras.witness and @forkyishere).


(from the https://portfolio.dtools.dev tool developed by @reazuliqbal)

The reason is that I don't know if we are going to explode... in terms of price of course. 😅 But also because more importantly, I want to invest some of the funds I have on keeping my nodes alive, especially if prices go up (if they go down, I will probably come back to buy more stake), better preparing myself for the following crypto years.

I probably will not even need to power down... but that leaves me with less support for buying Hive. For now... obviously, things can change midway. In any way, 2025 looks so DAMN promising! 😍

😍 New NFT released 🔥

Some might already know this. Either way, I have started making these kinds of pre-announcements to the subscribers of @forkyishere account via inleo. That and other kind of information not yet ready for general announcement will be posted there first (usually up to a week sooner, but sometimes it can be even earlier).

Wait❓❗ What❓❗ 👉HERE👈 to find out about the remaining NFTs...

This one will have 100 editions and will be available for 6k MEME (ALL of them, as I will not change the price, even if all of them are not yet listed, as this is to prevent gaming the system) for a massive 100 HP stackable (compoundable if you have many) delegation when you win in my giveaways.

LinkNFTExtra DelegationCompoundable?NFT Market
ATX HIVE 2025ATX HIVE 2025
100 HP
YES
MEME

Don't forget that you can obtain MEME not just in the normal MEME market, as you also have several pools with access to other interchangeable tokens.

This link should give you access to all those pools, and the page should look like this:

So, how much impact would this one make? 🤷‍♂️ Let's imagine one would get 10 of them, then it means an extra 1000 HP delegation on top of whatever you might have with other NFTs and the basic 1000 HP delegation. Recall, that this is only if you win the giveaway (5 max at the writing of this post).

There are only 100 of them, and because I always keep 1, there is a maximum of 9900 HP I need to cover in my own stake to support these. Don't worry, I already have this... 😎

🎲🎮🕹️ How do I feel about Hive games?

Well, in the many years of playing so many of them, I have still NOT found a better place to start playing and having fun with a game than the ones on Hive. At least without having to go into that attitude mode of "taking something for myself before the game blows up"... which I got sick of, by pre 2019's age.

If a game is good and you are having fun, why shouldn't you pay for that effort? Obviously, that payment has to go according to what is provided to continue competitive. But this needs to create a whole entire scheme in order to make people understand they need to play a game because it provides profit... did kill a bit of my motivation when I was on EOS, and then on WAX too...

Don't get me wrong, I like the profit too, and the fact that one can win rewards by playing games. But then say that upfront (and I am talking about non-Hive games)! Don't game the system like many other chains do, in order to hide from the users the entire orchestration is based on something they could only announce to a bunch of rich people that funded the game and will get all the rewards. That's sooo horrible... and when eventually gets discovered, will tear down a game because the users get used to the fact the game is never going to last for a long time.

This is one reason, why I believe games on Hive will get a future. And that future will happen once the platform gets massively adopted. That critical mass and retention need.

It's also about the current very low to almost nothing costs of running things on top of Hive, which when compared with other chains, don't need the large amounts of investments the platforms ask for.

Winners of 2024

For me, in 2024, a couple of games stood out (from the ones I play) in terms of both keeping their momentum (or not lowering them at least to the point of becoming a totally forgotten game). I will order these in some random way to show my appreciation for them and also because they can (or could) already be played, not in terms of profits or FOMO/FUD excellence.

And I will provide some "type" of awards, to explain why I chose them and why:

  1. Golem Overlord (best consistent development, best anti-scam system and decentralized adoption)
  2. dCrops (best momentum of keeping existing players and still providing new long-term development)
  3. CryptoShots (multi-chain asset development and best adrenaline source game)
  4. Terracore (best fast development and focus on keeping a decentralized open attitude)
  5. Rise of the Pixels (best AI-driven game)
  6. RisingStar (for never giving up mostly and still trying to innovate in game development)
  7. dCity (best long-term game on Hive)
  8. CryptoCompany and its first "child running" BroBang game collaboration (best collaboration with long-term development potential)
  9. (pending)
  10. (pending)

These games made it into my top 10 because I believe they all had important things to prove, show and "make us have lots of fun" time. They all have special reasons for me to support them...

You may (if you didn't you are blind and sorry for that) have noticed that there are 2 games missing... showing as pending. I am still undecided about them, and I have chosen to place-hold them instead. These will be revealed once I have some more time to check what has been done in 2024 (this is not something about 2025).

If you want to check links for the above games and many others I play, head down to https://linktr.ee/forkyishere (some of these links have referrals and some don't, but if you don't want to be exposed to me, you can always remove the referral). Subscribe to the linktr link if you want to be alerted about changes and any new games I try. Also, let me know if any of those games die, as I usually unannounce those to prevent people from hitting the wall!


(the page is long, so I can't make them all visible here)

If you have any other links you want to suggest me to drop there, please let me know!

However, if you are under my referrals and I see you going nuts trying to fast-pace into A game, help in any kind, or just do what I do, DO keep in mind, that I love that fricking amazing supporting attitude and please PM me anytime! I would love to collaborate... and push people forward who can do more than I can do for particular games (yes, I can't do "everything", no one can, the best is to collaborate).

And now it's actually 🍺 BEER time...


(somewhere in the middle of CBD in Wellington)

Joining with some friends (who will never learn about blockchain 🤣, I am sure of it!) and talking about life and stuff that also makes you happy, laugh and keep up to date with the non-crypto world!

Also, I have to report back to some of my readers, that I have re-watched 5 so far (of the 9) movies of that Star Wars Legacy. Will continue to have lots of great food, enjoy Christmas presents, Family time and blast through the fun of the bull season.

Enjoy the Break Everyone, learn lots, and HAVE FUN!

I would like to wish you all a Forkying Amazing Happy New Year 2025 (when that time comes along, and that is sooner than you might think! - don't quote me on that... 🤣) - apparently I didn't plan for this post to be so late 😜

About the Post countdown?

Hopefully I managed to enter the right time and it should symbolize when New Zealand is celebrating the New Year (including myself). It is NOT when I am going to release the winners... OK? 😁

😊 Forkyou™ in the next one 😉 when it's 🎆2025🎇

🧨🔥🧯😎

Nothing wrong with not having any... but just trying to find out if you know the process of acquiring them... and you just decided not to acquire them, or if you need more help and that's why you don't have any?

Ok, great I have your feedback, because I was trying to understand. You don't need to buy any, but I just want to explain what's going on here. And please, don't make this generalized. This is basically something I am doing in order to explain things to people.

So, one of the reasons I did this giveaway, was to "provoke" people to try more things (that usually are very cheap, just to cover some costs of doing them).

About the NFTs for my Giveaways (only)

In this page 👉HERE👈 you can read about the rules of the giveaway and also check the "extra bits" I am saying I provide if you hold them.

But in a nutshell, holding some of the NFTs I created, provide you extra HP delegation when you win the giveaway.

So, let's a person that has no NFTs (of the ones I create for my giveaway obviously), and wins... then it will get 1000 HP for a month. Comparing that with another person who has the first NFT created, for example, which doubles the basic delegation (1000 HP) in this case. Then if that person wins the giveaway, it will get instead 2000 HP delegation. And so forth...

Some NFTs you can accumulate more than one to add up, some others you can't and holding one is the maximum I am going to count for the giveaway. There's nothing preventing you from holding more, but I will just count with one (if they are not compoundable).

There is also another benefit, which is (even if don't win) you will always get ATX tokens for free, per each NFT you have (compoundable or not).

About pools

Pools is another topic I try to educate people about. Because its not clear to many that sometimes the market prices that you can acquire tokens from, could actually be inflated or deflated when compared with the price you would pay in the Diesel Pools.

I have created a series of posts to see if I could help people understand this...
Check if this old series help in any sense...
https://peakd.com/hiveengine/@forykw/understanding-liquidity-pools-on-hive-engine-into-basics

But in resume, buying for example MEME via https://hive-engine.com/trade/MEME could be more expensive than buying MEME via https://beeswap.dcity.io/pools?search=SWAP.HIVE:MEME

And the way you know that, is simply by looking at this part:

If you pay attention to the "red dots" I laid over the picture, the top one, means the price one would be paying if buy MEME via that pool, and the bottom red dot, the one you would if buying from the market.

As you can see, the market is more expensive. So, in these cases, one should buy instead from the pool.

Let me know if this was helpful, and ask away any other questions. If this is successful, I need to add this to my documentation.

Correct. Progamatically these ones have nothing in them. Just artwork to support what I do.

I am the only one you can (if you want) trust in believing that when you win the giveaway, I will do as such.

I have no reason to do wrong here. And in fact, people don't really know, but if one day I need to stop doing this, I will probably refund all NFTs to people or something that will not at all put anyone at risk of having thought this was a financial investment (which is not).

Obviously don't go buy them just because I said this... and then try to hold my word on this comment about it. But if you want, I would not feel bothered too.

I am doing this not because of money, but instead because I had to find a way people would become interested and be somehow forced to learn (while feeling great about it and without having to think about money necessarily, as you see the prices of things are very minimal and its mostly for me to not enter into a game of supporting everything for scammers, in case they show around, otherwise I would just giveaway NFTs).

Hope this helps you understand a bit more why I am doing this.

And Have a Great 2025 if we don't speak before!
Have fun, learn and support causes that you enjoy.

I also love to learn about more things, currently I'm learning about digital art to draw some character and post in splinter land and alien art hive as I'm putting myself in art. I'll learn about NFT too later after this project.

Thank you and have a happy year ahead too 💕

The only part I guessed of the title is "NFT" 🤣

GO is by far my favourite game on Hive and the more time passes, the more I'm happy about its developement, which is not something I'm not quite used with other games on Hive that I've played.

I already have some of your NFTs, but if I have some spare MEME this may be the right moment to go and add some more to my collection :)

Has been a struggle to increase the MEME HIVE pool so that people pay less slippage once needing some MEME, but I am going to use some of the MEME now to increase it further. It should lower the slippage a bit more.

I like your list of games and share your reasons and also in my opinion Golem Overlord with the implementation of Conquest Mode deserves the first place in the ranking of games on Hive
The new NFT is very nice and I am really happy to have a copy
I wish you a wonderful end of the year and an explosive and positive new year
A hug

Draw🎰 (5 winners)

Two new participants... @dantrin (and a winner)!

This is also the record ATX distributed so far, 114 tokens! Mostly because people started acquiring the NFTs that provide compound delegation bonuses. Although even if these participants don't win, they still get ATX tokens if they are eligible for the giveaway (power up 10 HIVE and not being powering down).

Eligibility Check📡

@les90 - 1st Win! (but you have tried before! So, Welcome!)
@dantrin - 1st Win! And NEW Participant 🍻
@caspermoeller89 - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 5th time!
@cositav - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 5th time! (2 currently)
@dailyspam - 8th 🔥 time! (3 currently)

All of them:

  • At least 10HP power up on HPUD ✅
  • Not powering down ✅

Thank you for your participation and congratulations on your prizes!

Prizes💘

@les90 - 1000 HP delegation for 1 month! No ❌ #NFTs
@dantrin - 1000 HP delegation for 1 month! No ❌ #NFTs
@caspermoeller89 - 2980 HP delegation for 1 month! (22 #NFTs)
@cositav - 2330 HP delegation for 1 month! (3 #NFTs)
@dailyspam - 1100 HP delegation for 1 month! (1 #NFT)

If you own the PowerUp Shard #NFT, you will get 2x base delegation, as some participants did. Other available NFTs can provide extra HP delegation.

Check all valid ATX #NFTs you can use in this giveaway here!

Check the latest added perks with NFTs! ie. Check the "Potential HP Delegation" below to see how much HP delegation you would be receiving if you would have won! Some got the idea... plus it gives you more ATX too!

(note that the number of NFTs are entitling way more HP delegation, and there are couple of big ones already!)

Special shouts for the biggest bees! @caspermoeller89, @dailyspam, @cositav and @libertycrypto27

LEGENDARY PowerUps (since the last #NFT release), including this giveaway:

NONE (so far, and note that previous NFTs were distributed on the previous Giveaway)

To those that powered up massively, will receive a free NFT the next time I release a new one, and I will either curate their content at my own consideration of one of their last posts/comments or provide some sort of specialized help after looking at that person's account/posts/comments. A kind of special value because of your power-up.

If you have liquid ATX and SWAP.HIVE you can add liquidity to the ATX:SWAP.HIVE pool to win daily rewards in many forms of tokens (including more ATX). I support most HIVE games on this list. Enjoy! - If you have any questions, drop them down.

Didn't know the sub-comments (comment to a comment) could be selected in the draw with that tool 🤔

Gotta check up on the available NFTs. Looks like a huge delegation for 3 NFTs 🤑

The tool counts as it, but I count only a specific comment (does not have to be the first one). And if that one is not selected, then I re-roll that winner (excluding all other winners), and if its the same, then I don't bother changing the initial selection.

I will put a note somewhere about this. Apologies...
