CBRS Podcast 35 | Hive-Echo changes - Community Highlights - Call for Prayer
Hello Hive
Hey everyone, welcome back to the CBRS Podcast! We’re pumped to bring you Episode 35, straight from our studio with some fresh vibes and exciting updates. This week, we switched things up with cool RGB mats and LED lamps to give our setup a new look. It’s all about keeping things lively and fun, just like our community!
DappList and Community Engagement
We kicked things off with our weekly DappList, where we saw an awesome 114 votes on @dcrops. Let's keep that consistent energy above 110, which we love! This Friday, we’re spotlighting the @VSC.Network on the DappList, so make sure to check out the article and cast your votes. Thanks to @Hivetrending who was working on @Commentrewarder the voting period has been extended to six days instead of 3, giving everyone more time to comment, upvote, and snag those rewards. It’s all about giving more chances to our amazing community!
Wheel of Fortune Gets an Upgrade
Big news for our Wheel of Fortune! Starting next week, we’re shaking things up to make it fairer and more exciting. Everyone who participates gets their name on the wheel, but here’s the kicker: if you post a video every day for five days, your name gets entered five times! That’s five chances to win. We’re still deciding whether to stick with two winners of 25 HIVE each or switch to five winners of 10 HIVE each. We’re dropping a poll to hear what you think, so let us know!
This week, we spun the wheel and shouted out our winners: @amiegeoffrey, @sahi1, @palabras1, @enraizar, @zaniverse. Congrats, you all scored 10 HIVE from our friends at @threespeak! We had a blast watching the wheel spin, and it’s so cool to see so many names in the mix.
Tackling Farming on Hive
We also got real about something we’ve noticed on @Hive-Echo posts and also on our Dapp voting articles. Some accounts seem to be “farming” rewards by only commenting for rewards without engaging in other ways. We get it, everyone wants to earn, but we want Hive to be about real community vibes. We’re looking at setting rules, like requiring a minimum reputation (maybe 30 or 40) to be eligible for rewards. This way, we encourage genuine participation, like posting, commenting, and sharing what you love. We’re checking comments manually to keep things fair, so let’s keep the Hive spirit strong!
Hive Community Highlights
The Hive ecosystem is buzzing, and we’re hyped to share some updates:
@SkateHive is killing it with their open-source app for phones and browsers. Their creative promos, like coding while skateboarding, are next-level! They even painted an electricity box with Skate Hive style—super dope next to a skate shop.Hive Hub Guatemala is bringing the energy with vibrant colors and hard work. We saw videos of @Ninaeatshere and @Starkerz painting and prepping, and it’s amazing to see their progress. Let’s make more noise for them, reach out to us so we can amplify your posts!
Hive B&B Idea: We had a lightbulb moment while chatting with a friend who runs an Airbnb. Why not create a “Hive B&B” where hosts accept HBD? Pair it with WorldMapin to put Hive-friendly spots on the map. It’s a cool way to bring crypto to more people!
Splinterlands and NFTopia
Shoutout to @aggroed for launching ahonex.com, an auction house for @Splinterlands cards. They’ve already hit 50 completed auctions—way to go! Splinterlands also tweaked their black foil card system, now requiring eight potions for a better shot at snagging one. And mark your calendars for #NFTopia on August 16-17, an online event featuring 60 Wax and Hive projects. Be there or be square!
InLeo Drama and Father’s Day Vibes
We touched on some drama with InLeo pulling their votes from DHF proposals and voting on the Return Proposal to make it more difficult for other proposals after their proposal didn’t get enough support. It feels a bit like foul play to us. Hive thrives on community, not power plays. Let’s keep supporting each other! InLeo’s also dropping their 2.0 update on June 18 at 6 p.m. EST on X, so stay tuned for what’s new.
Oh, and a big Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! We had a laugh when one of us got a Father’s Day shoutout despite not being a dad :P
A Moment for Agdroeds’s Family
We wrapped up on a serious note. @Aggroed shared a post asking for prayers for his family, and our hearts go out to them. We don’t know the details, but we’re sending all our love and support. We ended the podcast with a moment of silence for them, and we’re here for you, Aggy.

Thank you
📸 Such an interesting and artistic capture.The mood and composition are really unique.Loved the creativity in this shot🎨✨
I don't usually promote own posts that blatantly, but here's my take on why we need to support diversification of topics and languages, and empower new, self-sufficient and self-policing communities.
If a 10,000 newbies started yesterday, most of them would likely last less then 3 months under the current settings.
Also there is another problem that many of us don't see. Curators and whales use so much Mana, that they don't have any left for more articles or comments.
So if we get those new 10.000 users you will get a huge spread of curation and everyone will get less rewards.
This could meen, that we just won't have enough to reward everyone or the rewards will become very small and many users will loose interest since so many are here to earn ofcourse.
Not really, most of the newbies will not have their fair share of the Rewards Pool, and most OGs would keep vast majority of the rewards (arguments are in the post).
Also, communities can delegate RC to their members, provided we have strong communities established :)
What I ment to say is more like...
Take OCD as an example. OCD has an incubation programe where communities get help from OCD with votes on articles that the community leaders say are good. And you have many communities that are being helped by OCD. So the more peaople join these communities the faster OCD's mana depletes. So then OCD will be giving lower votes to be able to reward more people.
yes, but then the communities should grow so that they are sustainable without that external help.
Dependance on whale votes ain't healthy.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Best regards.
wow I am glad for winning 10 HIVE. Congratulations to others too 🎉. I will make sure that people I onboard make introductory posts as well as share their own experience on-chain so they do not look like bots or appear to be Farming. Thank you 🌹

I love the energy and flows ... kudos guys for all the hardwork that went into all of this... the vibes is real and I'm feeling it here in Africa 😆
ok, 1at of all, this episode was recorded 2 times and both times it went wrong. Also we did the Hive-Echo wheel spinning twice as well. We just announced the 5 winnners of 10 HIVE each from our second recording but what you see in this episode is the 1st recording. So to make it al fair we will also send 10 HIVE to @ruhlar, @Cositav, @abdullahkr, @beaker007, @lectureme since they won in this episode. So yeah, 10 winners in total this time, how amazing is that huh? :D
Thanks very much @coldbeetrootsoup
Thanks a lot @coldbeetrootsoup
I really appreciate this @coldbeetrootsoup
I think there are 10 winners thanks is wonderful
Thanks, mate! I still need to check out the episode, but I definitely will.
This 10 HIVE will go to a good cause—bringing a new Splinterlands member into the Hive ecosystem via HPUD (Happy Power Up Day)! 🙌
This might sound stupid, but what does that mean? Remember, I'm a blockchain-savvy empeared! 😊
They seem excellent news to me all these changes, I would like 10 winners. 5 daily videos to opt for 5 tickets is great. I love it.
I have read about Guatemala we need more information on that topic in X is an excellent project
Many sentences for the user @aggroed whatever everything is very good. Much health for him and his relatives
Thank you very much @coldbeetrootsoup, and thank you very much for including 10 winners, you are very generous. And my congratulations to the other 9 winners, a very well deserved award.
A very big greeting.

Congratulations @coldbeetrootsoup! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next payout target is 12000 HP.
The unit is Hive Power equivalent because post and comment rewards can be split into HP and HBD
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

STOPThat sounds like a good idea! Some of the people accepting HBD this way may not even want to sell it right away for daily spendings. We are talking about higher bulk amounts of HBD being transacted this way more likely than buying a coffee or something like that.
