Well, the three faucet sites that I'm using, two for BTC, and one for LTC, are a fairly new part of my daily routine, so I haven't tried to transfer anything to Hive yet. I'm waiting until the amounts would make a notable difference here. I am hoping to do such a transfer at some point in 2025, however.
That works too, I suppose. I prefer my two-pass approach, once via Ecency, and then again via Engage. I seem to catch most things that way. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

You should also consider the transaction fees (especially for BTC) before you convert your crypto earnings from faucets to Hive. 🤔 Maybe convert them first in the platform to a coin/token which will have the lowest total transaction fees before you get them as HIVE. 🤓
If someone manages to get the source code of #HiveEngage and starts running it, they can find the variable responsible for limiting the age of comments (and posts) to be shown on the feed to 7 days (or basically all content whose potential rewards haven't been paid out yet). 😏

Yes, that's true for BTC for sure. Whever I have the option, I convert all off-chain assets to LTC before sending it to Hive.
Honestly with Engage, I just want it to show any and all comments and replies to which I have not responded, regardless of age. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It looks like LTC is one of the most common payment methods, because of its popularity, age, and low transaction fees. 🤔🤓
I think that the 7-day limit is reasonable for #HiveEngage, because it will take its servers a big toll when looking at every single reply made by a user from the time he/she joined Hive, which may mean more than 10,000 comments looked at every single page load. 🤯🤯😅
