Countdown timerTechnically in my little corner of the globe, there are still just over three more hours of September 2020 left, but I wanted to get this post out now since #HivePUD has already arrived in other parts of the world!

One more thing - last month, I got a little carried away thanks to my awesomesauce delegation from @theycallmedan. I was so psyched about my shiny new VP that I went through all the Power Up Day posts, upvoting and reblogging...

Every.

Single.

One.

I think it was around the 60th or 70th post I kinda got the feeling that flooding all my Hive followers with the Power Up Day awesomeness in their feed might not be the best idea I've ever had...lol! So I've decided that for this month, I'll just stick to upvoting every post, with possible a comment or three along the way.

Now, since I already did a rundown of it all in the Announcement post last week, I'll just do a little recap this time around.

What is Hive Power Up Day?

Hive Power Up Day has been taking place on the first day of every month since @streetstyle came up with the idea on that other blockchain over a year ago.

What does it require?

In @streetstyle's words ...

On the first day of the month...

• ...we ask that everyone who can do so, power up any amount of HIVE they are holding on the first of the month.

• ... we ask accounts that are currently powering down to please pause the powerdown during the hours of the first of the month.

• ... we ask that those who are trading and/or selling Hive, not to do so during the hours of the first of the month (and if possible, cancel any type of sell order on any exchanges for the same hours).

What are the rules to win prizes for HivePUD?

The requirements are:

• Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70.
• Your total Hive Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
• NEW: You must power up at least 10 Hive on October 1st.
• You must write a post about your power up on October 1st with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Spanish).

To be included in the winners list, you must meet all four requirements above. The order of the list (first place, second place, and so on) will be determined by the biggest PERCENTAGE of Hive powered up, not necessarily the most Hive powered up.
