Changes

Since the launch of our witness, we announced important changes, which in some cases did not materialize due to health reasons, but we have been implementing most of them. This is how the development area has been producing tools for Hive, especially for the Spanish-speaking community.

This post we are presenting today is another one of those changes. It is about giving much more information related to our activity.

Also, we want to announce the creation of a channel in 3Speak, as in Youtube, to start the production of content, both for internal consumption in Hive, and for external audiences and to serve as a tool for dissemination of our platform.

We invite you to subscribe to these channels, so you don't miss our next series of interviews: "Criptocharla en La Colmena" (Crypto-talks at La Colmena).

We started with the video short, which is part of the series "Hive en gotas" (#hiveengotas) and is included in this publication. In this opportunity we talk there about what are the witnesses in Hive.

This video is also going to be part of the new content we have included on our website la-colmena.me, which now contains links to the distant tools we have made available to everyone. It will specifically support the page dedicated to witnesses.

Another new feature will be available in the next block and it is a new format for Curation Reports.

Curation report

Following the example of other communities, we now want to make a monthly summary of the destination of our votes, according to the curated communities. That, apart from giving transparency to our work, will also allow us to improve our work, with a view to being fairer and more equitable.

Above you can see the graph and below is the table with the links to the communities (or tags) and the number of votes in each one of them.

Development status

The programming part was focused this year on improvements to the internal bot on the Discord server, to facilitate the work of the curators and ensure the proper functioning of the database that now allows us to extract more information.

However, we have found time to continue improving the OnBoarding system and soon we will present some important adjustments that will facilitate the work of those who fulfill this task of creating accounts for new users.

We also recently launched the new Witness site, in Spanish for the convenience of the Spanish-speaking community.

New Proposal

Also within the development area we have been working on an extraordinary project, with a view to promoting the adoption of HBD as a payment method. For this we have prepared a proposal that will be published in a few days, in the account of @ylich, who is responsible for this project called HBD Pay.

We invite you to keep an eye on this publication so that you can support it as soon as possible!
