Tried approving the proposal through the link but it didn’t work

Try again, the proposal number wasn't in there at first.

Approved now

This is the last one I did on the stabilizer ... four months old now, at the time the net profit was around 1.4M.
With the recent pumps in the HBD price at the end of July and August, it is most likely higher now ... will revist the post soon.

That's even better!

Hello @smooth
Every time I see information like this, I realize that I still have a lot to learn about the Blockchain in general and HIVE in particular.
I hope soon understand well what all this means.

so does that mean that one can buy about 240k HBD off of the internal market per day for a 1-2% premium?

In theory yes ... although not as sure for the premium, might get higher .... also the dhf doesnt have the funds for 240k, needs 24M for that, atm its around 18M, so it pays a max of 180k ... and growing

okay thanks for letting me know! that's still not too bad I guess

It depends on market conditions but when there isn't a pump going on, yes, you can often buy most or all of the stabilizer budget at a low premium. You would have to make the purchase gradually since the stabilizer receives its budget hourly and sell, converts, or returns the HBD when received.

Have you thought of adding a bigger premium for larger volumes?
This might go in the both directions.

I'm saying this because one can keep buying HBD on the DEX and convert that to HIVE without putting a market pressure on the HIVE price. To transfer this buying pressure on the market, the stabilizer will need to increase the premium, triggering HIVE to HBD conversions.

Buying larger amounts of HIVE through the DEX and the stabilizer will take a longer time, but it is possible.

I have supported this.

Was in a rush when I voted the post because we are struggling with powercuts, but done now!

Thank you!

Hi, @smooth, it is a little deflating to see that you downvoted my recent post by $16.00

Would you mind providing me with an explanation so that I can try to avoid such occurances in the future please?

I am expressing my disagreement on the magnitude of the rewards (though I have no disagreement with there being some reward). This is not the result of anything you did, rather I disagree with the degree to which others upvoted it.

Ok, so let's assume that it wasn't just to be a meanie. 😄

What is the benefit of downvoting a post?

What qualifies a post to be downvoted in your opinion?

And how do you decide the percentage that you are going to downvote?

"What is the benefit of downvoting a post?"

Rewards are reallocated to other payouts

"What qualifies a post to be downvoted in your opinion?"

My opinion as to the value that a post brings to Hive. I think you will find that my opinion is rather skeptical on this matter, although you probably don't want to hear it. I find that most content is a dime a dozen and doesn't draw a large audience. I don't have any disagreement with small payouts but once they get to be $10s or $100s, I want to see something compelling that it gives back. Most do not.

"And how do you decide the percentage that you are going to downvote?"

Usually a modest amount relative to what is being paid. If others want to downvote on top that is fine, and if it results in a bigger reduction, that is a sort of consensus. But usually when I downvote on my own the effect is just to trim the rewards modestly but still pay out quite a lot.

Fair enough I guess.
Thanks for your detailed response 👍

This makes sense... But there are people posting crap everyday and getting like 120 dollar votes ont their posts.. Daily...

Where as someone that actually took effort in taking photos that actually went to a legit market.. And actually put in some effort to add content.. Well they get downvoted...

Like that post of misshugo... It was her first post that had such a big pay out.. She never gets such high votes...but she gets downvoted? But someone that gets big votes daily doesnt get downvoted...

I understand what you are trying to achieve with the HBD stabilizer.. But you are downvoting the wrong posts... And you are discouraging people on the platform doing so...

There are photographers taking two photos and adding less than 100 words to a post and also getting 100+ dollars on a post...

Can you explain that to me? Just curious on how it works exactly.

And if possible can you revert the downvote on her post and perhaps consider downvoting mine instead? You can downvote it for the same vakue

I'd definitely downvote more overpaid shitposts but frankly I don't have the time to find all of them. Sometime I'm able to sign on and look for overrewarding, sometimes I'm not. It's completely uncompensated effort which is another issue, but that wouldn't make much difference to me. It might get other people doing it though.

Hey. I just fell down this rabbithole. I just want to suggest, when you're complaining about others, try not to single people out like that. If you insist there's no other way to state your case and need to point out someone posting daily while receiving high rewards consistently, at least make sure your "good example" actually is a good example. That member does not post daily and at a quick glance it appears you've earned more in the past month than she has. Maybe read the post as well to see what you're knocking down. She's also doing some fundraising and charity work.

I know downvotes can be a pain in the ass sometimes but try to leave others out of it. That's not cool what you just did.

Im not even going to argue. You're right I probably did single her out. No worries I will have a sit down and add a few more names to the list. Then atleast I didnt single her out

As to reading the post.. I did actually read the post.

Also regarding the charity. That's all nice and well... And im not saying she isn't holding or giving to charity's... However she has HBD locked up in savings.. And the HP isn't in a power down state. So forgive me if I do infact have "trust" issues regarding things like this.. I also feel alot of people use the situation in Ukraine to their own benefit. Again im not saying that is what she is doing.

However you are right I did single her out and gave somewhat of a shitty example... Apologies, as you said that's not cool.

Okay. Enjoy knocking others down.

I'd suggest minding your own business. If you have a problem with something, focus on the problem, not the people. Maybe that's what I'm trying to say. Making a shit list, will just make you the asshole.

If someone's earnings truly bother you that much, just downvote it. Sitting around talking shit solves nothing. You're only in charge of yourself here, and that's it.

I don't have an issue with your work, from what I've seen at a glance. But anyone that doesn't know or care about working on cars is just going to see a mess of car parts strewn about and think it's worthless. And if they're complaining to you about it, where's that coming from? Ignorance mostly. Don't be that guy.

Are you in control of how much support comes in? No. Same goes for everyone, unless they're up to some shady shit, which usually gets downvoted anyway...

And to be fair I will add I can agree some of these large downvotes hitting the trending page consistently, landing on some of the better examples of what this place has to offer, regardless of who they are or what they did, does absolutely nothing to boost morale. When you do go around downvoting the junk and scammy stuff that pisses off the good honest folks, those shady types just blow a fuse, go psycho, then smear and harass you for months at a time, which also does nothing to boost morale.

Damned if you do; damned if you don't.

Just some advice. It's coming from a good place.

Yeah you're probably right.

Ill edit it out tonight..

I get what you're trying to say though..

As to the technical stuff I share... Let me be honest, I didn't think that it would be voted as high.. And yes you speak truth most people dont even know the difference between the parts. I get you my shit is seen as shit in the eyes of some people.. Probably most people.

And no I don't generally downvote people.. I follow meesterboom's downvote trail but that's all and I know he downvotes plagiarism and stuff..

But I never intended to knock anyone down.. But you have a point... I should not be the dick... Leave that for the people who are... And yeah other people's rewards have nothing to do with me... I bet there are people who wonder why my crap get upvoted and not theirs👀

I added a bit more to that, pardon my edits, I just want to be clear.

And yes I only stepped in to maybe help cool you down. I've been on the receiving end of senseless complaints about my earnings. A small part of the reason I don't even post anymore is because of that shit. Having people hate on you for doing well is worse than being downvoted. They're also knocking down everyone that decided to support it in the same breath, as if they did something wrong for enjoying the things they like.

At the end of the day we're all on the same playing field; equal opportunity. If there's a flaw, everyone has to deal with that flaw.

When I started here years ago I got downvoted really hard but I used it to my advantage. Taken some bumps along the road as well. The latest ones to snap over downvotes ended up on Blurt, lost all their money, and turned into fucking "curator coconuts" or some shit.

You don't want that...

> At the end of the day we're all on the same playing field; equal opportunity. If there's a flaw, everyone has to deal with that flaw.

Without a doubt, that's stating some facts!

I don't really understand what blurt is😂 is it like Hive? But different? Same idea? Like leofinance?

You obviously know how Hive has multiple tokenized communities, like LEO as example, plus several more, all connected, leveraging the same market (Hive members/accounts).

Blurt would be like a distant island. And every now and then some Hive trash washes up on their shores and becomes a member. The antisocial types that disagreed with being downvoted for doing something lazy or stupid for instance. The types that don't work well with others. Control freaks. Trolls. Liars. Thieves. Manipulators. One of the current top twenty witnesses called himself a marketer one day then ran an unethical marketing campaign utilizing stolen artwork (some was mine) and libel to help convey a sick twisted message Hive was somehow evil and Blurt is the promised land free of all problems. Total psychopath. Lost all his money, anyone sucked in lost their money. And now they're all over there arguing, being the same trash they were here. Complete shit-show. It's what happens if hell became a tokenized community. Stay clear. 0 stars. I do not recommend.

I've been busy broh but I'll get around to a response!

I don't need a response. Go have fun. lol

😂😂😂📝

Yeah.. I am aware of Leo.. Although I don't really like using any of them. I did try leo at some point but I liked some posts through leo and it used all of my voting mana on Hive 😂😂♌.. So I tend to stick with just hive.. I feel it works for me..

Well the thing is blurt doesn't even have activity on the markets.. And I think it should be eve less valued now with all the crap going on around the crypto markets...

Okay so which witness is this? Mind naming him or rather not? The thing Is I have no fancy in supporting a witness with such arrogance if that's the right word?

And on a different note.. I would like to reply😂😂😂 the more interaction I can have on Hive the better... I get litttle enough, so seeing a comment pop up in my feed.. Well that feel great

I meant a witness on Blurt, and not worth naming. Like I said, it's an island, not connected to Hive. They do their own thing, have their own governance. Their problems aren't Hive problems. They're aware of his shady antics, and still support him, even though he's one of the main reasons their platform fell apart, becoming a garbage dump. They're either desperate, in denial, or both, and all equally to blame since, for some stupid reason, they thought his psychotic behavior would somehow improve their situation.

Hive has class and integrity. Don't have to agree with everyone on the witness list here, or even like them, but they move up the ranks by doing something worthwhile and gathering honest support. If they show signs of having integrity issues, things go bad for them pretty fast.

> Hive has class and integrity.

Facts... Also the only true decentralized entity around.... Im sure you are aware of all the shit with FTX and the jibberish about crypto is dead 😂😂

Anyway.. Have you ever thought about posting again?

Crypto always was kind of dead to me. Not something I'm interested in but of course I follow current events and yeah, what a disaster...

Doesn't make sense to me how money has fans now. Little groups form around a crypto with nothing to offer aside from the basic potential of profit if your gamble goes the right way. FTT gets wrecked and there's still people going, "No! They're just haters! HODL! Buy the dip!" If someone lit a $20 bill on fire, burned it to ashes, and someone came up and said it's still good while offering you a dollar for the ashes; of course you're going to take the dollar and let them clean up for you but you're also going to think they're kind of screwy.

Here we have several projects, products, businesses; while the crypto and a vague promise isn't the main selling point. Can convert some time, skills, and experience, into money, that just so happens to be crypto. The flow is far more natural.

Now when these projects that offer shelf space for products would market their businesses independently to consumers rather than just filling the shelves and ignoring the consumer's role, this entire concept will take off. Want a post? This one says more about what I'm saying. I've been yapping about it for years though. I think it's kind of odd people will build a tokenized community that resembles a magazine, pay contributors to write articles, but try to sell the magazine to investors rather than consumers. If a music community pays musicians but doesn't have paying listeners, there's nothing to invest in.

Hive does a fine job with decentralization and becomes far more decentralized when millions of consumers hold small amounts. That's where the masses are when it comes to onboarding but the concept needs to click before it'll take off. An incredibly fascinating way to own your entertainment/information, in a sense, as well.

And I might start posting again at some point, when I can focus on it. New art takes a lot of time.

Thats facts 😂. Even half a $20 bill is still valued at 10US... You have a point...

Most of the top 30 cryptos, well if not all of them are so centralized anyways.. Whats the point.. I mean look at XRP it's even top 3 if I'm not mistaken... Welp honestly the only crypto I have is hive.. Save one ETHW(etheruemwork) which is pretty useless.

Also with all of this crap going on Hive probably has a good chance of being noticed... The right person should just notice it... And as you said the idea should just click... But atleast we are still here... How many shit coins have hit the fan...

What sort of art do you make? If I may ask?..

Paintings? Digital art? Sculptures?

It's digital. A variety but all my own style. This face you're looking at, I made. All the art on my blog, is mine. Produced by me. Everything. All tucked inside the posts.

@smooth is a meanie, and a big meanie to me who get's it in the back regularly. However, you need to ask yourself something...

...'where else can I get this'...

If there is somewhere else besides STEEM (you need to understand walls of Chinese) or Blurt (don't get me started on that joke of a place), then you could post your stuff there.

He can do what he likes with that huge stake of his, it's his prerogative. I don't always agree, but when he sticks me in the back I have to remind myself of that above statement.

@smooth I have the same issue... Some people really put is a shit ton of effort for huge posts. So why do we get down voted if we didn't do anything wrong... But there are people who miss use the platform by posting 1 picture and making 100000's. How is this by any means fair?

Please consider down voting people who deserves it.

Great very crucial information, I am definitely going to support the proposal.

it is still a pain to get medium amounts of HBD via exchange without underbidding too much.

I agree. Needs to develop into a bigger market to improve much beyond the status quo I think. Market cap is only 9 million USD.

yeah, I think HBD stabilizer should clear and maybe be more regular if the price is lower. It still often has no funds to take action. Maybe a Buffer for around 20k HBD to clear.

A pool would be better, but so it would be less painful to get some $ into HBD :D

@smooth We have seen that you have previously supported proposals for the improvement of Hive.

We would love to have your support in our proposal that seeks to add a new tool to the Hive environment that will help ensure that your content continues to prioritize quality and above all originality.

We would appreciate your support, criticism, and collaboration. Thank you for considering this proposal.

I have successfully voted for proposal number 233.

@smooth Is there a way to take HBD out of savings immediately for a fee? I thought someone said there was but I don't see the ability to do that with any of the interfaces Ecency, Peakd, or Hive.Blog ?

No.

Ok, thanks

any plans to increase, I see people waiting on stabilizer to buy up orders at times, as we grow maybe necessary to strengthen the peg?

It is maxed out given available funding from DHF, which does tend to grow over time. You can provide additional support by voting on the daily comments from hbdfunder (supports hbdstabilizer AND increases funds available to DHF). Link: https://hive.blog/@hbd.funder/comments

vp under 10% will swing by it sometime here and there thanks

Great. I vote them every day.

PS. I misclicked on your comment, meant to upvote 1%. Some sort of glitch and now I can't change the vote. Enjoy.

oops, I will forgive you

What a way to be alive @dynamicrypto. Guess, mistakes are sometimes luxury.

holy crap, well thanks bank error in my favor... you got some serious stake man!

that 1% hiccup was a big help towards my growth to 10k HP then to get aggressive hopefully hit 100k eventually! left the monthly chart out of my post with your nice curation yet was going to give a mention and thanks in it then realized maybe a bad idea and left it out. So thanks, feel free to find errors with your mouse when breezing past me anyday!

5 years on this chain, running a node now several months and I have never got a vote that big unless I paid for it ever! (bid bot days lol)

Not pandering for a personal upvote, just curious if you mind checking out my last post or 2, this project has been hated on for over a year now, they put out a few games now with nft's tied in and testing ongoing yet still have yet to pick up any whale support, not asking you to invest either yet come check it out and give your opinion if you have time.

A comment or vote on one of the @psyberx posts even @psyberxnode witness vote consideration would be very helpful.

I think this will be one of the projects that brings massive gamers and P2E investors our way, with some Hive whale support other projects would be more keen to collaborate various social campaigns and more.

No more post since september? ..

The latest HBD stabilizer continuation is still going. Everything is working fine. @dalz sometimes posts statistics.

Oh, gonna check on dalz then, thank you :)

Also check @dalz.shorts

Thanks, Kind of all the information I was searching and more, heck you even went overboard with the vote, thanks xD, I mostly hive short stories and game i/o film reviews, with a mix of personal life into it, never ever had a comment voted for 1$ o.o even more as my latest post that is yet to get 24h is like at 2.70$ or something like it, and it is 3k of words xD
