Yes, today is the fifth, which means I should be posting the Official #HivePUD Winners list, yet here I am just getting the UNOfficial results out! All I can say is...

"How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?" ~ Dr. Seuss

Okay, I will say a little more - the delay was a combination of technical difficulties and scheduling shenanigans. I can't even blame the holiday weekend here in the States for the tardiness because about the only Fourth of July thing we did was to watch part of the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular (yes that's the official name and it is spectacular) from our couch.

And while it's probably needless to say (yet I'll say it anyway, as apparently some people feel that these posts tend to bore everyone with meaningless words that I use simply to bulk up the word count, so I wouldn't want to disappoint and make this short & sweet instead! 😂)... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah - the Official results will be out around this time tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, folks!

Now, as always, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. As I said on @hivebuzz's Feedback from the July 1st Hive Power Up Day post...

Strange to think we're already in the second half of 2022, but from what I can tell, people were celebrating it today by stacking some sale priced Hive! I'm really excited to see the numbers because while I don't think it was record breaking by any stretch of the imagination (and yes, I seem to say that a lot...lol), I did see a goodly number of new faces participating today and that's one of the main reasons for this initiative - to help new people build their accounts and grow their influence on this wonderful blockchain we all call home.

For me personally, thanks to this ongoing bear market, I was able to power up much more than my usual this month, and I have high hopes of getting even more liquid Hive over the next few weeks so I can double it for the August Power Up Day! So as much as I hope to see the arrival of the bull, I'm doing everything possible to take "the bull by the horns" while I can!

As always, a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this Power Up Day by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on all traditional web 2.0 social media. All of those things help shine a light on the blockchain, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to @hivebuzz for always BEEing such an incredible buzz-maker for Hive Power Up Day, and for continuing to add to the blockchain fun. And here's to all the Hiveans, new and old, who continue to increase their voting power and influence on the blockchain - congratulations to you all!

 

To break it all down, we had 88 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 101 in June) with 146 total entries (compared to 161 last month) and 161 posts with either the #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags on the first (last month we had 166).

With that sort of drop in participation, you'd expect the total to be down as well, right? Nope! 😊

For the overall number, the power ups ranged from 0.006 to 10,599.453 Hive Power (and yes, I'm going to have to check to see if that's a record high number, as well as a record high percent HP Growth - regardless, WTG @investing-dude!), for a grand total of...

 

34,111.198 Hive Powered Up!

 

By comparison, the total in June was 27,156.438, so that makes this an almost 26% increase from last month. Again like last month, it's wicked cool to see such a big bump up while the price is down, and I hope that continues next month if we're still having a ...

 

 

The Lists

Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for July 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.

And as usual, on the 5th I said earlier, I'll publish the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list tomorrow (the 6th), and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. The complete list is in my newly combined announcement & welcome to Power Up Day post, and will be included in the official results as well.

Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the raw data for me to use to put this together. You ROCK, Asher! 😊

 
 

PLEASE NOTE

This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #HivePUD and/or #HPUD on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify for the usual monthly prize pool.

Participants who don't qualify for prizes

(but qualify as amazeballs because
they participated anyway!❤️
which inspired me in August 2021 to start offering a small but special prize pool for these folks)

 
 

Thanks again to everyone for making this #HivePUD monthly event such an amazing success! I'm so proud to be a member of this wicked awesomesauce community!
