  • Signal Mining with Bookmarklet Signal Mining Tools
    In this section we show you how to become a Signal Miner / Signal Scout. These valueable parts of the eco system will mine rewards for adding signal to existing information on web2 and web3. There are 3 main Bookmarklets:
    1) Thoughts on chain - catching a single piece of content and bringing it into the system
    2) Enrich Profile Sources - Add alternative sources into the profile of a creator, for example, if they have a youtube channel, a twitter account, an instagram account, then you can use this tool to more easily bring these sources into the eco system. this then imporves the feed of the creator in the signal inbox.
    3) Catch Content - visit a creator's web2 source such as their youtube channel and click the bookmarklet to import many items of their content into the system at the same time. If you catch such content soon after it is uploaded to the ecosystem, then you will earn additional rewards and credits in the eco system. The best signal is prompt, accurate, relevant and causes conversation.

  • First Context - An Easy, New Way to Add Your Thoughts to Web2 Content using Hive
    ## What is First Context?
    First Context is a way to add signal to existing web2 content and bring the conversation onto Hive.
    ## Thoughts on Chain
    With one click of a bookmarklet you can import web2 content references to Hive and start a conversation about it. This video shows you a quick tutorial about how it works and how easy it is now to add your thoughts on chain by bringing web2 content data to Hive and make it better, identify if its fake or real and help people more easily digest the content, without actually having to consume it.
    ## Add Signal
    You can earn extra credits by adding signal to information on web2 and web3 by adding the following types of information to your content catches:
    - Categorise content: is it an origional post? reaction video? a clip?
    - Is the content authenitc?
    - How important is the content?
    - Add time stamps of importance for videos
    - Add important quotes from the video or article
    - Discuss why the content matters
    ## Signal Inbox
    It also collates content from one creator across multiple platforms into one feed, so that you as the content consumer can more easily see what is going on in your feed without needing to go to multiple platforms and spend time going through all of your feeds

  • Hive Projects Budget Transparency Meeting
    ## Project Budgets and Community Marketing of Their Achievements
    This session brought together key Hive project teams @ececny, @peakd, @blocktrades, @asgarth, @jarvie and @starkerz to discuss budgets, development efficiency, and a shared vision for marketing the progress being built across the ecosystem.
    ## Budget & Cost Overview
    ### PeakD
    PeakD operates as a legal entity which had a team of 3 developers plus community contributors. @Jarvie and @Asgarth lead development presently. The team has already implemented a 25% cost reduction recently. Development accounts for approximately 85% of total costs, with infrastructure and other expenses making up the remaining 15%. Infrastructure costs have seen a modest increase of around 10%, though they remain broadly stable. European-based software developers offer more competitive rates compared to their US counterparts.
    ### Ecency
    Ecency maintains a team of 3 developers, with one developer and @good-karma, working on the mobile app, and one developer plus GK on the web application. All development is open source. Mobile development rates tend to be higher than web. The team is geographically distributed, ensuring near-continuous coverage.
    Both projects are committed to full transparency. A public spreadsheet detailing costs will be made available — see here for detailed Ececny budget: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fd7wwDuyyHkRzpsaFKY2r0fsdZ_Xp1B5FaIygCdnUqk/edit?pli=1&gid=1676972801#gid=1676972801
    ## AI-Driven Development Productivity
    A significant portion of the discussion focused on how AI tooling has transformed development workflows. Teams reported substantial productivity gains: PeakD estimated a 5–10x improvement in code writing speed, while Ecency reported gains exceeding 10x. AI has proven particularly valuable in planning and code generation phases.
    At PeakD, Jarvie has begun "vibe coding" with AI assistance, dramatically increasing his personal output — estimated at more than 10x. For Sergio, the improvement sits in the 5–10x range. AI is increasingly becoming the primary method of development.
    CI testing pipelines have also benefited. Ecency's website CI testing completes in approximately 10 minutes, and PeakD noted that AI has significantly improved their CI lead times. However, manual testing — particularly for Android device compatibility — remains the primary bottleneck. The group explored whether AI-driven test generation and device emulators could help address this challenge.
    Ecency has also developed an SDK (published as an NPM package) to unify the data layer ahead of testing, which has accelerated the website's test cycle. There is potential for collaboration for other projects to work on and beenfit from these tesing capabilities.
    ## Community Marketing Initiative
    A central theme of the discussion was the essential need to better market what Hive's projects are building. The general plan is to make DHF funded and other Hive project git hub repositories more open and AI-accessible, enabling automated summarisation of development progress and the automated generation of social media content. This would allow the community to collectively amplify the value being delivered through its funding.
    The meeting was partly a call to actrion for community members to get involved in this initaitve so that more can be made of the progress that projects are making with the funding being distributed.
    It is critically important that Hive markets its achievements in order to more than justify community spending.
    Historically, Hive has not excelled at this. By combining AI-assisted content generation with a coordinated, community-wide marketing effort, projects and their progress can gain far greater exposure — and it is easier today than ever before.
    The hope is that the entire community can unite behind this joint initiative to make as much noise as possible and telegraph the progress of Hive's community-funded projects to the wider world. A real community push to use resources to focus on marketing was agreed as being essential moving forward to justify the spending from the DHF.
    ## Retention & Onboarding
    The group also discussed retention and a community-backed onboarding funnel. The proposed concept involves multiple, mostly existing onboarding routes that guide new users through structured tasks designed to teach them about Hive, culminating in blog posts — enabling newcomers to post and earn as they learn.
    A dedicated "newbie" account would follow all new users entering through this funnel, creating a curated feed of newcomer content. The hope is that community whales would rally behind this initiative, easily discovering and supporting new users through this feed.
    ## Looking Ahead
    The session concluded with an extended discussion about what participants most want to see built on Hive — a conversation that underscored the energy and ambition driving the ecosystem forward.

  • Paying with Any Crypto to a Hive Account

    Rewards to this post are sent to @null


    Perfect for spreading HBD and making HBD the clearing layer for payments in any crypto.

    So far we have built a proof of concept that shows how you can pay any of the following cryptos to a Hive account:


    LTC

    SOL

    USDT on SOL

    UDSC on SOL

    ETH

    USDT on ETH

    USDC on ETH


    _NOTEl transactions MUST be sent from cake wallet which you can download to your app store.


    Combined with V4V's ability to accept BTC Lightning, Hive accounts can now accept all major cryptos, without having to have a wallet in that crytpo.


    The receiving Hive account (normally a business) automatically receives HBD, they dont need to know how to use the other crypto wallet and dont even need to write their own invoices.


    Crypto payments are getting super simple!


    ## Business Model

    We will look to put a fee system into this, say 1% so that we can incentivise users to spread this and give them a cut of the fee each time someone they onboard makes a payment or a business that they onboarded receives a payment.


    ## KYC

    As long as the payments are small and made to businesses, then it is unlikely that any individual account will exceed KYC payment limits each month.


    Thanks to @jthomasewsky for helping to make the POC.
