My 10000th Post!
9999 is what appears as I approach 2000 blog posts and I have commented over 8000 times including replies to my posts and to comments left on others posts. Combined this will be my ten thousandth post!
I spun up the @solominer account in February 2018. We were just coming off of the bull rush and I remember it would take a long time to get an account at the time. But by using the @blocktrades platform I was able to quickly create one using some Steem I had left over from a previous account. I got tired of its username so felt like it was a good time to start fresh. I paid a few Steem to spin up the @solominer account and got to work moving everything over. It took a few months to power down and move all over, which at the time things were starting to settle down in the community for the moment.
Over the last two years, I have tried to post twice a day. Usually I do my main post that I want to draw the post attention to. And then do a followup gaming post or something else a little later in the day. Doing this consistently for the last year or longer has really helped me find the communities and tags I like.
Many friends were made when @carrieallen invited me to join @helpie and from there that was my first experience doing curation as a group on the platform. Now I am a part of @diyhub thanks to @priyanarc as @helpie is no more.
I have made many friends in the pond. On the @minnowsupport Discord. Great hosts such as @carrieallen @makinstuff @r0nd0n @crimsonclad and many others. And many thanks to @juliakponsford for letting me join the curation group with MSP.
Listening into live streams I have learned about many content creators on Hive. Joining in on The Ramble, back when @shadowspub hosted PYPT (Pimp your Post Thursday) I found many great content creators to curate and to comment on their posts.
Now a days @recoveryinc and @movement19 does a show just like @shadowspub did but at the moment just Post-up is doing live streams on Thursdays.
When downvotes got their own mana I joined a group that would go after people that are abusing the blockchain. There has been some moments for sure, but I have made many friends on Hive-DR. Thanks alot for inviting me @joshman and and @enforcer48 for all the flag-targets.

When the communities came out I joined many of them, and I found a good home for my gameplay content on @hivegaming. My gardening and homesteading posts have found great homes in @ecotrain and @abundance.tribe
I tend to do all my own cooking, and have share many things I make and eat with great support. Always happy to get comments and many have been very insightful to me. Giving me ideas of new ways to cook and to prepare my food.

My plans are to keep posting at least twice a day, sometimes I only get one out but I try to aim for two a day. Comments unless they are urgent I tent to wait a few days and answer them mostly at once. And I upvote the comments based on the users stake. Its been working well for me and my followers. After two years I am finding a system that I like.
I think posting consistently twice a day can be done with prepping posts before you are ready to submit them to the blockchain. I try to do this by rendering my gameplay videos in large batches, cutting them up and then writing about the gameplay as the video shows it. And the same goes for my gardening, I tend to do batches of videos of my Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter updates.
my gameplay videos waiting for my descriptions to post
I think if I can do my descriptions, thumbnails and upload the videos in folders. Then I can have a bunch ready to post whenever works for me. The gameplay video works even better for stuff like that as its timeless.
posts I have already written and submitted to the blockchain. One video is left, I got to finish up my fall garden updates and then ill have a bunch of new videos to share.
My gardening videos I try to post within the same season so it makes sense. Otherwise my photos I show look quite different than my archived videos I may post. So by doing season updates it works well for me, and many people on Hive are interested in what I grow so glad to share it.
Thanks alot Hive! All of the users that make up this decentralized network, the witnesses, the Discord groups built around the Hive community and to people like @makinstuff that I have met in person because of this platform. Its been alot of fun the last few years and looking forward to many more as we move forward with Hive's first hardfork scheduled for October 6th 2020 this year.

Congratulations @solominer. Glad to hear this.
And it's good having you here
Though, I just started posting on Hive recently, but now, I decided to give myself time commenting and meeting new people, so I do posting once or twice in week, because I feel I should get to know people first.
Success for you always!!!
Stay blessed

Cool stuff. We need a lot more like you who are active and get involved in the various projects. I've clocked up over 42k of posts and comments in 4 years! These days I mostly post once per day unless I have some extra stuff I want to put out. I was doing more in the past, but I do okay as it is.
Thankfully there is not too much for the anti-abuse teams to deal with on Hive so far. My downvotes are going rusty from lack of use!
Cheers and a !BEER
Wow 42k, that's amazing. Maybe I can get there in four years too.
Hah yeah I've been watching Hive DR but not alot to go after right now.. guess that's a good thing
