HiveFest is an annual event that celebrates all things related to the Hive blockchain. The event is usually held in a different city every year and in 2023 it will be held in Rosarito (Mexico).
What is the Travel Reimbursement Fund?
(full story here) for which you can donate any amount and that can be used by anyone attending HiveFest to relief some of the travel expenses to Rosarito.The Travel Reimbursement Fund is an initiative created by @roelandp
The Travel Reimbursement Fund is a way to help offset the costs of travel for Hive users who want to attend HiveFest. The fund is supported by donations from the Hive community.
The idea behind this fund is to make it possible for as many people each with their own specific economic status to come to HiveFest. Anyone can donate to @t-r-f by sending Hive or HBD.
Suppose you are interested in attending HiveFest in Rosarito, but are worried about the cost of travel. In that case, the Travel Reimbursement Fund may be able to help you by reimbursing a portion of your travel expenses.
We are excited to offer this opportunity to help members of our community. We believe that by coming together in person, we can create even stronger bonds and further grow the Hive community.
How the HiveFest Travel Reimbursement Fund works
During the HiveFest days, on-site only (Proof of Attendance), attendees can apply to get their part of the donated funds. How much everyone receives is calculated based on the single-leg distance from your originating airport to your destination airport (Tijuana, San Diego, ...).
Everyone can choose to apply or not. Applying is required should you want to receive a part of the donation pie, and if you decide not to apply, you basically give up your piece, which will result in a more significant piece for the applicants.
A couple of days after HiveFest, all calculations and fund distributions are done on-chain. The @t-r-f will be emptied using the following distribution:
- Base Pay: Allocating 10% of the donated funds to distribute evenly to every applicant for the Reimbursement Funds. Formula: 1/total_applicants * (total_funds * 10%)
- Adding up all single-leg distances from the applicants.
- Per applicant share formula:
Base Pay (see 1) + (user_single_leg_distance / total_single_leg_distances * (total_funds * 90%)).

Can't join. Donated. Eat more burritos for me. ☀️🎋🌮 (ok, I am in for the badge😆)
Sorry to read you won't make it to Rosarito 😢
That's so kind of you to make a donation to the TRF. It will surely help fellow Hive users attend HiveFest.
Enjoy your new badge and we will definitely enjoy the burritos on your behalf! 😄🌮
Burritos are American. But tacos will be eaten for sure haha. :)
Donated a bit! This time it will be a challenge to travel from Europe, but I hope that fellow Europeans will manage to do it!
That's great to hear! Your donation will definitely help all Hive users from around the world to attend HiveFest in Rosarito. Thank you for your support and generosity!
Great initiative, I´m sure it will motivate more people to go to this year´s HF. Have fun guys. I lived in Mexico for 2 years and I love this country but I´m afraid I won´t make it there :(

Sorry to read you won't be able to make it to HiveFest. We're sure your experience living in Mexico would have made it even more special. However, there's always next year and we look forward to potentially seeing you then!
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 19/59) Liquid rewards.
Wow this is so so good, lending a helping hand to others, indeed Hive is not like other social media platforms.
Yeah, we are one big family.
Thank you very much for the information, I am very happy to hear this good news, even though I am far away in Aceh, but this kind of thing is a bond of brotherhood, we can build a better future for hive, not only on the hive platform, but openly as well
Previously, I apologize for this very small amount, at least I have participated and hope that this event runs smoothly and to all friends can understand the balance in my wallet
To all participants present, I hope this hive platform can develop well in the future and continue to provide the best for all hive players
Thank you for your kind words and support! Your contribution, no matter how small, is appreciated and will help make a difference for those attending HiveFest. The Hive community thrives on the connections and collaborations that events like HiveFest can foster.
The correct one is @t-r-f and we fear your initial donation is now lost.Unfortunately, you sent your transfer to the wrong account: @trf (without dashes between the letters!)
That being said, we find it admirable that you have contributed to this initiative and would not want to see you deprived of the badge that you deserve.
We have therefore donated 1 HIVE to you so that you can redo the transfer.
Don't get the account name wrong this time!
Thank you very much you are very kind
I'm happy to have done it again
My humble contribution of 5 HIVES has already been sent. I will see if I can attend, from Canada to Mexico; I haven't visited Guadalajara in a while, heh, heh, heh.
We hope you'll be able to join us in Mexico. Safe travels should you decide to attend!
This is a good initiative, is there a memo that should included?
It's not required but feel free to use it to send a message to the team

I think it is a great idea. This event is bound to be a success. Hopefully those people who can go, but don't have all the resources to do so, can count on this fund. Perhaps those who apply for this facility can work there in some way as organisers, as a way of giving something back. It's an idea that just crossed my mind now.
We're glad you find the Travel Reimbursement Fund a great idea. Your suggestion of having those who apply for the fund contribute to the event is an interesting concept.
😎🍀 thank you

That's a really smart and beautiful initiative that will surely born lots of cool stories!
Would love to! But it's beyond my possibilities for now :(
TRF is one of my favorite initiatives in the Hive Ecosystem.
It supported me once (Krakow edition I think...) and I've noticed it made a difference for some fellow Hiveians.
🤜🤛
Yeah, the Travel Reimbursement Fund (TRF) has made a positive impact on many attendees. Thank you for your support and appreciation. Hopefully it will encourage others to participate and contribute to the fund. 🙌
This is a great initiative!🙂

I am sorry that I could not send more but being this close to power-up day I am afraid I will not get back up to 10 Hive before the first. Is there a cut-off date to send it, maybe I can send more at a later date.
There's no cut-off date for donations, so feel free to contribute whenever you can. We're grateful for your support in making HiveFest a success!

Thanks You 💥🙋
Let's go! If I can make it to Mexico, I will be probably applying myself, but I will still drop in some HBD or HIVE for the badge. And in case I do not make it it helps everyone applying for funds even more.
My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services.
I've just updated v4v.app and I'm getting ready for some exciting new features after the next hard fork.
Please consider asking your friends to vote for prop #265 or consider unvoting the return vote.
For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I'll also add that I power up Hive every day and usually power up larger amounts on 1st of the Month. I'm on Hive for ideological reasons much more than for only economic benefit.
Additionally you can also help with a vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner
If you have used v4v.app I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.
I just sent 9.99 HBD to the fund while testing the new Point of Sale POS function in v4v.app which I describe in this post:

This is awesome. I hope this is something that continues to help in the future.
