    Before I get to the final results, a quick shout out to say that (in keeping with my plan to set different beneficiaries for 3 of my 4 monthly Power Up Day posts) this is the one of the four that I get part of the rewards from. I have this set as 80% to myself, and 20% of this payout will go to my numbers man extraordinaire, @abh12345!

And now to the business at hand - a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's #hivepud, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. Altogether we had:

 

And as I said in the Unofficial Results post, even though the high Hive price brought us lower than usual participation, the fact that so many people still powered up means it was another wicked awesomesauce Power Up Day, my Hive friends!

 

Now, to make it all official...

 

Placeholder | Account | Hive Powered Up | Starting Hive Power | % HP Growth

   

Staring back in August, the people who didn't qualify for the main prize pool now have their own small but special prize pool, but instead of tagging them all here again, I'll wait and tag the winners in the comment section when I do my drawings and delegations. Which, by the way, I'll be doing as soon as I hit "publish" on this post. 😊

Also, @victoriabsb has her the results from #hpud out (we tried to post them at the same time, but I'm a few minutes behind her...lol). Check out her results (which include the #pud Orca Month winner!) here -

Hive Power UP Day : Winner Announcement HPUD & Orca Month December 2021 Hispanic Community [ENG/ESP] || #hpud

Also, be sure to follow both her Hive and her Twitter accounts because she's an amazing person and one of the busiest and awesomest Hiveans ever!

   

Speaking of, and before I get to our usual monthly list of prizes, I figure I should announce the winner of the HivePUD Orca Month prize!  First, a quick reminder of what it's all about - here are some tidbits of the description from @victoriabsb's latest #hpud For December announcement post -

We are ending the year with a BAM!

The Hive Power Up Initiative wanted to celebrate the end of the year, the ATH of Hive Price and just how awesome is our community with a new special prize!

We want to award the community members who have been constantly growing their HP being part of our initiative from the beginning help them get to the next level that may seem like a little far away now, our amazing sponsors (@Blocktrades and @Theycallmedan) will be awarding each a delegation of 50,000 HP to 2 lucky winners [one from #hpud, one from #hivepud] for a whole month! So, they will become Orcas for a Month!

 

That means that one person from the #hpud winners list and one from the #hivepud winners list, who both meet the regular monthly requirements, as well as additional criteria set for this special prize, are each getting a 50K delegation for a month!

The additional criteria (again quoting from @victoriabsb's post) includes -

  • How much HIVE has been powered up in your account
  • How many PUDs in a row have you participate in
  • Not having done a power down in the last 5 months
  • Curation history
  • Engagement history

  Both the global and the Hispanic prizes pools reserve the right to disqualify participants that are blacklisted by the community, Hive Watchers or have participated in any kind of abuse to the blockchain

 

And to make it as fair and impartial as possible, @arcange awesomely agreed to use the same system @hivebuzz uses to decide their delegation prizes. And now that the two have been chosen...

So each winner will effectively be an Orca for a month! 朗 朗  

Last bit before the announcement - there are a few basic terms & conditions to keep in mind. Also from Victoria's post...

Both winners will be monitored to make sure not abuse happens and we have some requirements to make sure they keep the delegations for the whole month, if they don't fulfill this the delegations will be pulled from them.

Requirements/rules

  1. No self upvotes
  2. No comment upvotes above 25%
  3. Spread the love & don't vote the same few accounts daily
  4. Not automatization or following trail we want to encourage manual curation.

We also have some Suggestions

  1. No more than ten 100% upvotes to help keep your VP in a good number and also to help you spread the love.

  2. Try to keep your voting power above 70%

 

And now that all that's out of the way, the Special Orca Month HivePUD winner is...  

 

Congratulations @imfarhad, and enjoy being a Hive whale for the next 30 days!

 

 

Thank you again to @victoriabsb for the idea, @arcange for all his amazing help, @eddiespino for his always excellent assistance, and @theycallmedan and @blocktrades for their awesome generosity in delegating!

Now for the usual monthly prizes...    

This post also notifies the prize sponsors, who will then be awarding them in the coming days. And as usual, I'll announce/confirm my sponsored prizes in the comment section, to make this post a little less cumbersome.

 

✅ = CONFIRMED ❓ = NOT CONFIRMED

I get the feeling Power Up Day, as well as Hive, will continue to get bigger and better in the new year! I also know there will be another Hive Power Up Month Challenge in January, and I'm sure there will be others, and even more Hive Buzz fun after that. Speaking of, be sure to keep an eye on @hivebuzz for information and more awesome initiative like that - follow them (on Hive and on Twitter) so you don't miss out on any announcements (plus, they're wicked cool peeps!).

Speaking of, don't miss their two latest posts -

Saint-Nicholas challenge for well-behaved girls and boys - Hurry, ends tomorrow!

The Hive Gamification Proposal for 2022 - I just voted for it!

Lastly for now (but certainly not least)...

 

 

Again, I truly appreciate everyone for making this #hivepud event such an awesomesauce success! I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the #hive community ROCKS!
