Good morning to everyone . Not a happy announcement from my side today .

HiveSQL subscription mode

Yesterday I received a transfer from @hivesql with this memo

My engagement project depends on HiveSQL completely to retrieve the data and calculate . Since as you can see in the memo I need to pay to use this from now on , I have decided to put a hold on the Engagement project till I can figure out what to do .

Can I afford it?

If you follow me or my engagement project you may have already seen that I don't take my cut in these projects . Every single curation rewards + the curation account author rewards are paid to other delegators .

I haven't taken out anything from it so yeah I can't afford it . 4 HBD per day is too much for me as well as 40 HBD per month .

Is this the end of Engagement Project ?

Absolutely not . I always like to think positive and solve problems . I see two ways of solving this -

  1. Try to write a whole new script which doesn't depend on HiveSQL .
  2. Wait for HiveSQL to go back to free mode .

Unfortunately , I can't guarantee the 1st one yet because I am bombarded with so many issues in my real life right now .

If you haven't yet voted for the HiveSQL proposal , I request you to do it - it is created by @arcange

My request to delegators

We would most likely see less dividends this Sunday due to this so I would like to request you to not come to a conclusion that this is the end of the project . By sunday I will try to see what other ways are there to continue with our project and if I find , I will update you on it .

If I fail to find an alternative , I will inform you to take back your delegations .

HLS tool update

Right now , I have disabled some features which were dependent on HiveSQL but some other features are as it is . I will make a detailed post regarding this soon .
