WITNESS OPERATION OPINIONS - THEY DIFFER

WITNESS OPERATION OPINIONS - THEY DIFFER

It seems I may have gotten myself into the middle of the debate over what Witness owners should be doing. This is a follow up to wha tI posted with the @hive-112281 account yesterday. Please read that WHAT IS A WITNESS FOR?.

But what I want to address here is the view some people have that I am trying to buy votes. Nothing can be further from the truth. Here is a reply I got about the post above.

"Hello @bradleyarrow, I don't want to spoil the fun here...

But this method of gaining votes is ultimately a very bad idea and always ends the same way. I’d highly recommend reading anyx’s post How Vote Incentivization Degrades Delegated Proof of Stake, It’s 6+ years old, which tells you this isn’t a new topic (and no, you’re not the first, the only, or the last to offer such incentives, but again: it’s the wrong path to take).

My advice? Focus on your witness operations. That’s the real value people are voting for when they support your witness. If you’re building a business here, earning trust because you can deliver, not because you’re paying for it, should be your ultimate goal.

Hive thrives on trust, reliability, and actual contributions. Good luck."

I have some questions for you all, the way I look at things from this post but first let me state this: I am not, in my view, trying to buy votes for my Witness. Yes I am asking for support and trying to explain to people that if you have invested in BBH - the weekly passive income token, if you have invested in BBHO - the native token of The BBH Project - that is also now giving passive income, then the more my project earns the more I can give back.

I have been for over 4 years building streams of passive income for the project the I then in turn give back to people that are invested in the project. A reward for running a Witness in Hive! I don't understand why some, a few, people have a problem with me giving back a lot of that hive as it is another one of the projects income streams.

Let me dig into the comment above:

post How Vote Incentivization Degrades Delegated Proof of Stake - Okay, in my view everything Witnesses do is to get votes. I have my way, others have their ways. If you are building dapps, if you are building pages that extract data from hive that people find useful. You are giving people reason to keep supporting your witness.

Focus on your witness operations. - What does that mean? I am 100 percent focused on making sure my witness is operating and helping secure the blockchain. That is the basic of what a Witness does. Everything else that someone running a witness does for the betterment of the blockchain is a bonus.

Hive thrives on trust, reliability, and actual contributions - Well now then, I bet the people that have known me for the 1956 days I have been on the blockchain belive that I fit that statement 100 percent.

Feedback please. Drop a comment. Lets discuss this in more details.

MAKE DRIP DAY BIGGER

I need to start pushing @thebbhproject Witness again. And push it hard.

The biggest problem on Hive, as I see it, is getting people to read, especially long form posts.

My MISSION STATEMENT is below. The plan is to make BBH the most profitable income token on Hive. And how can I/WE do that?

I am paying 40 swap.hive to BBH holders a week now. A witness offers the opertunity to increase that big time. If we can get into the top 20 witnesses I can easily start payong out 2,000 to 2,500 swap hive a week.

Yes you read the correctly.

That is one reason to vote for my witness.

Another reason is my dedication. I joined the blockchaing 1956 days ago. I have been active everyday with the @bradleyarrow acount. I have published a long form everyone of those days. Through hell and high water, including the day day my wife died.

You want someone that 100 percent believes in Hive and is this dedicated, that is another reason everyone should be supporting my witness.

What can you do? Tell everyone you know on Hive about @thebbhproject witness. Reblog this post, copy the material out of this post, write a long form post. Promote the shit out of it.

We can do this!!!!

BBH INCEPTION - 25TH NOV 2020

BBH RELEASE PRICE TODAY: 0.00294 HIVE

WITNESS UPDATE

81 awesome fracking sauce days as a witness we managed to get into 63th place. What a battle this is. Up to 319 supporters. 319 supporters, did you read that. That is Awesome Fracking Suce. Nothing wrong with that. But I want more, I want to keep growing fast, moving up the charts fast. Business mindset people.. Now the hard part begins. Getting the word out to more people.

I know we will keep moving up the charts. The higher we are, the more Hive income there is, and the higher Drip Day payouts will get. Remember that. That is what is important.

This morning we are in 63th place. Here is where we are at this morning. 8,132,732 Hp in support. Yesterday we where at 8,137,989 in support. To get into 62th place we need another 244,977 in support. We need alot of little or some big support to come in. Tell the world.

DEDICATION

Let me start with the fact that I have been on this blockchain now for 1956 days. And I am extreamly proud to say my posting streak continues. I have now done at least one post a day for 1956 strait days. Yes, from the 1st day I joined. I have not missed a day.

On the road to 2000.

If you are trying to build something on Hive, if you are trying get noticed on Hive. This is the type of dedication it takes.

I tell you this now every day now to try and motivate you. As your noticed I already have the dedication.

BPUD - THE BBH PROJECT TRIBE POWER UP DAY

The BBHO power up day is going to be the 20th of every month. The same as Cent is on the 10th and Leo for LPUD is on the 15th. Requirments will be only 100 BBHO to power up. And a blog post telling everyone you have powered up. Including my username and the BPUD and BBH tags. Below you will see a pic of a hat, that will be one prize.

THE BBH PROJECT TRIBE/OUTPOST IS LIVE

THE BBH PROJECT Outpost/Tribe is live. The link will bring you to our frontend.

Our main tag is bbh. We have four others, inleo, tip, drip, and passive.
BBH has to be used in one of the first 5 tags in your long form posts. If not, it will not show up on The BBH Project front end.

Almost four years since I started working on the BBH Project, mostly in the back ground. I finially got to the point where I can say: I am just getting started. lol.

A lot of work a head, a lot of ideas I want to get done, a lot more building to do.

Hang on people it is going to be an exciting, all be it, slow ride, as building goes. I cannot wait to see what the next 4 years brings.

TOKENOMICS:

21 Million BBHO tokens.
2880 tokens released a day. That would be 20 years.
Will be following BTC halfing. When BTC halves, so will this reward pool.

Incase anyone was wondering

CURATION TRAIL

Five new members to the Curation Trailover in the last 24 hours. Please welcome aboard @michael561, @thesegunvictor, @adoyskie, @jeeee, and @softdrink102. We are now 265 strong. That is awesome. The new goal of 500 members by the end of 2025.

What is the point of a curation trail and why should I join?

Any post that I up vote, everyone that is part of my trail will also up vote that post. And being 265 members now you can possibly get 265 upvotes.

When you join the trail you can set your trail vote to what ever you want. Even if you set the up vote to 0.01. Imagine if we had 1,000 people in the trail that would be 10.00 to the post. Fantastic stuff. A little difference can end up making a giant difference to a Hivian.

That being said, we do have 265 members, I know not all are active, some have passed, but the majority of use are still here.

Imagine if we could get 100 people doing just 1 blog post about the curation trail. Do you think the membership would go up quickly?

Give it a shot, the more, the better for everyone.

BBH RELEASE PRICE

I now set the release price of BBH to the markets daily. It is an open market so sometimes you can pick up deals when others are selling cheaper than my set price. The goal is to have 1 BBH = 1 Satoshi. I do a bit of math and get the price. If Bitcoin is stronger than Hive then the price of one BBH goes up and if Hive is strong than Bitcoin then the price goes down.

Here is the last week worth of price settings.

BBH MINER

total miners stakedhive value of bbhhive value of miner
59730.003372
24.71%APY(APR)

Why am I selling BBH MIners:

As you read above I am shifting focue. Miner sales will be used not in make investments that are profitable and/or HP for the @hive-112281 account to give it more voting power.

But for you, the people buying the miners, I have been asked, what is in it for you? And here is my answer:

This is a win win in my books. Once all three items above are in place.

You win 5 BBH at a time from the miner lottery. Depending on how many miners will obviously depend how many BBH you can win.

The more BBH you have the bigger drip you get every Saturday. The one I will be concentrating on is the swap.hive payouts.

By buying miners you will be investing in the future of BBH, and you will be getting a return every Saturday in drips.

Just re member this is only step one for the future of BBH.

Much more to come.

The biggest question I always get is why all the time and effort to give back?

Because in giving back the future will give back to me. Once BBH is doing what I want it to do, be it next year, 5 years, 10 years, I should be able to generate a passive income for myself.

DRIP DAY

Saturdays are Drip Day. That means it is/was drip day. Now if you are not a regular reader of mine you are wondering what is drip day.

I run a income token and tipping bot all in one. The token is BBH. Every Saturday I payout the people holding BBH tokens. Passive income if you like. I like to call it a 'drip' of a token(s) to the people that own BBH tokens. And unlike some all you have to do is own it. No staking, no nothing.

If you own 10 or more BBH tokens you got a drip of swap.hive.
If you own 5,000 or more BBH tokens you got a drip of swap.hive and the PIMP token, and CTP Tokens.
If you own 10,000 or more BBH tokens you got a drip of swap.hive, PIMP, CTP, and LEO tokens.

If you stak 20,000 or more BBHO tokens you get a drip of swap.btc tokens, BRO, and DUO.
If you stake 5,000 or more BBHO tokens you get a drip of BRO, and DUO tokens.
If you stake 2,000 or more BBHO tokens you get a drip of DUO tokens.

All just for owning BBH. There are two ways you can get BBH. First you can buy them from the open market. I use TribalDex myself.

Or they can be tipped to you. The great part about BBH tipping is that when you tip a token to someone else you do not loose any of your own. There is a central pool that supplies them.

And a third way to get BBH would be people gift them to you. There was an update to the tipping bot. If you now tip 1 BBH you get 1 BBH also. How facking awesome is that.

And now a forth way to get BBH with the BBH Miner.

TIPPING

In a 24 hour period, reset at new day UTC. There are currently five levels of tipping.

Level 1 = 1000 BBH holdings = 1 tip per day you can send
Level 2 = 5000 BBH holdings = 5 tips per day you can send
Level 3 = 20000 BBH holdings = 20 tips per day you can send
Level 4 = 50000 BBH holdings = 50 tips per day you can send
Level 5 = 100,000 BBH holdings = 100 tips per day you can send

The tipping command is !BBH

Haters be hating! Although sometimes the comments they post/send do contain some good tips (I’ve had some like that as well 😂, not witness related), which might sometimes help to make your project more robust.
Like someone else in the comments mentioned here (forgot the name), a lot is often simply in the wording, as your intentions are pure!

Ugh, just get tiresome. People on this chain is suppose to be adults and make their own decisions.

Just keep building bradley, let the haters hate.

Was I polite enough?
!BBH !DOOK

I just get tired of the attitude "You dont do stuff in the way I see fit and therefore you need to change". If people wanna vote for you, no matter what reason, arent they free to do so? :)

Or maybe I'm wrong.

Generally as long as you are not specifically stating 'Vote my witness get part of the witness rewards' like the @earnhive witness does it's fine.

The way you have it. basically you are taking your witness income and reinvesting it into your other projects. Nothing wrong with that.

It's mostly getting the wording around how to explain it makes the difference.

Saying "Vote for my witness and earn more via bbh project tokens" is the wrong way to go about it even if technically true.

Saying "Vote for my witness and support me so I can invest into my projects more" is the right (better) way to say it imo


I'm a hive witness supporting the blockchain please consider voting for me! - Find out more here!

Thank you so much. I will adjust my wording in all future posts :) !BBH !DOOK

I think everyone has different views on what they think witnesses should be. At a basic level, I think that so long as the witness is doing its job, not much else matters. It's just minor differences.

!INDEED my friend. Some people just love getting there painties in nots. lol

Some people might feel threatened. There are inactive witnesses up the ladder and I don't know what they contributed to the blockchain. Some people I dont ever hear from.

At the basic level, this is what hive is all about. You put in your money, you work, you get the ROI.

Just keep up the great work bro. All the best !BBH !LOLZ
