My First 2 Weeks on Hive

In life, we need a new space to discover we shouldn't let ourselves focus on single thing and we need to go out from our comfort zones. That's what I've tried 2 weeks ago, I heard a lot about Hive, some users on read.cash posted an article about it then I saw on our Telegram group about upcoming webinar for newbies that hop on Hive. I remember ate Jane's article in regards with learning basics about Hive. I read it and I learn basic knowledge about Hive.

I immediately made my account on Hive but sadly I can't do it without instructions that's why I joined on discord Hive PH then ask how to make an account then they recommend me to create an account on PeakD. It's different from read.cash which you need to create your username then a password and copy the code sent to Gmail. Since in Hive, there was a keys you need to save, I think it's master key, public key, private key and posting key if it's included. There was a choices to unlock your wallet with the use of Hive signer, Hive Keychain and forgot the rest.

I used the Hive Keychain since it's easy to use. I put my username and password and voila I've already establish my account. I follow the recommendation on Hive PH to wait for webinar before posting an introductory post. I learned a lot in webinar about basics of Hive, I learned how to use formats, how rewards divided, and how Hive works. After the webinar, I immediately posted my introductory posted and I'm so happy that the community is very welcoming.

It's been 2 weeks since I made my account and until now I'm still confuse how curating works. As of now, I have 17 followers and 30 following, I joined a lot of communities in regards on my interest. I enjoyed reading post on first few days that I didn't notice my resource credit drained almost to zero. I asked on discord what happened and then they conclude that I comment, subscribe and follow a lot on different users and community that's why my resource credit got drained. I need to wait for days for the recovery of my resource credit.

Gladly, there was kindhearted users on Hive which delegate their HP to me that's why my resource credit also increase. One thing I didn't try on Hive is delegation which I want to know someday once I have lots of HP. When it comes to format of writing in Hive, it's no difference on read.cash since it had lots of similarities, the only thing that differs them is the level of strictness. It's not easy just to post any content on Hive. It must be interested and posted on proper community, being active is also required so that other users will know you.

My tactics is, I joined on different communities base on my interest. I joined Hive PH which is required for newbies, I joined OCD cause it had lots of subscribers, I joined StemSocial because it's all about since, I joined Pinmapple for travel and Gems since it's a community for different languages. I've been enjoying Hive a lot. Though I don't know how to withdraw unlike on read.cash that you just need to send the money to bch address then in a mere seconds, it's already on your wallet.

This is my recent post which I expect not to be curated since I have sources added. I'm planning to repost it on read.cash but after an hour, I was surprised to see that I gained 300 upvotes which is pleasing to my eye. One thing I notice is, if you have low reputation maybe 30 to 59, your accumulated Hive won't exceed to 10. I don't know maybe it's just me. Also, I don't know how to increase my reputation, I only see it increasing once I receive huge reward.

I also doesn't understand the vote value, they say the higher your HP the higher voting value you will have. I only have 70 HP, maybe that's the reason why I have a voting value of 0.002 HIVE. My account is also blessed cause no matter how many how many articles I read, I follow, I comment, my resource credit only reduce 1 to 5 percent and it will get refill again. Honestly, Im not a type of person who loves to interact but Hive really pushing me to do it so that I can build more of my reputation. I can say that I'm still blessed cause my post is being notice and curated. I hope all of us in Hive have good journey.
