As always, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. As I said on @hivebuzz's feedback post...

Last month, I thought for sure we would break records with the power up amounts (thanks to the timing of the HBD price soaring) but while there was lots of excitement and loads of power ups, the numbers were actually a bit lower than I expected. However, I think it was due more to not having one or two big power ups from larger accounts, as we definitely had more HivePUD posts than the month before.

I mention this because I get the feeling it's going to happen again this month. I've seen lots of activity on Twitter & the blockchain with the HivePUD & HPUD tags, but I think the overall amount might not be as big as in month's past. Which doesn't change the fact that today was a super fantabulous Power Up Day! I've seen many faces (both new and old) taking part, and I think all the chatter about investing into our blockchain is far more valuable than what the actual number turns out to be!

Thanks to everyone who participated in whatever way (big or small) to make this day such an awesome success! And special thanks to the HiveBuzz team for BEEing such an amazing buzz-maker!

   

So, turns out I was right - while the excitement was high, the participation was a bit lower than last month, but it was still an overall excellent turnout. Here's how it all shook out...

We had 66 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 70 in February, and almost an even split with the non-qualifying entries, which clocked in at 65!) and 142 posts with either the #hivepud or #hpud tags on the first (up a smidge from last month's 139).

As for the overall number, the power ups ranged from 0.003 to 5000 Hive Power, for a grand total of...  

40,236.090 Hive Powered Up!

  By comparison, February's total was 47,973.046. While yes, it's a bit lower, I still think that number is wicked...

 

 

And I know I say it every month, but I'm so appreciative that I have to keep saying it, thank you to @jeanlucsr for bringing the idea to the @hivebuzz team, who then ran with it and made the Hive Power Up Day Badges such a buzz-inducing part of power up day! Every time I think they've outdone themselves, they turn around and do something even more amazing - like, awarding delegations to Power Up Day participants!

And I can say that because even though I was recently added to the team (thanks again for the honor, @arcange), all of that was done before I started contributing a bit to the HiveBuzz Hive Tour Project. Wait, what do you mean you don't know what that is? Go check it out now (click the "Tour" tab on the Hive Buzz Board site), because it's a total game changer when it comes to onboarding & educating new Hive community members. And to the team, for all you do not only for Power Up Day, but for the blockchain in general...

Now for the lists!

In keeping with how @streetstyle ran this, here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for March 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.

On March 5th, I'll post the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes (the complete list is in the announcement post, and I'll include it again in the Official Winners post tomorrow).

Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the stats, even though he's still wicked busy getting settled in his still sorta new corner of the world. He's even added some extra calculations, which will now save me a ton of time for future power up days. You are truly the numbers man extraordinaire, Asher! 😊

   

PLEASE NOTE

This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #hivepud and/or #hpud on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. As always, I won't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify.
