Is this thing on? My first post on Hive.

I had actually not been interested in the Hive Blockchain before now. I had prior knowledge about crypto, having bitcoins, and all other cryptocurrencies. I knew about wallets, transfer exorbitant prices on some blockchains. I knew of the platform and what it does but I did not think I needed to be a part of it.

I am a good writer (if I may say so myself) and I have written some very interesting content in my lifetime - from short stories to poems, lifestyle articles, etc. I’ve even written for some friends’ blogs and I had a newsletter I was sending to over a thousand subscribers weekly for my former company - but I had hardly ever thought of making money so much through it. However, life happened. I got into a new job which promised to be sweet but for some reason best known to my stubborn head, I found myself fighting to preserve my mental health and as with the silent twins, one had to die for the other to live a normal life; of course, I chose my mental health over a job that wasn’t making me up to $1000 in a month.

This situation left me with a clearer and more eased mind but no steady means of income. Hunger would probably lead me back to the depression I was running away from and something had to be done, so I hit up all friends I knew who made money off writing to find out their methods. I also broadcasted to my contacts on the same topic and received a few hits. One of them was a reminder that I had @belemo who was making money through writing on Hive. I remembered that we had even had a conversation about it before but I was very uninterested at the time, so I decided to hit him up and declare my intent to make money off writing.

The previously casual explanation on Hive and how it worked had to be revisited but as a serious conversation about HIVE and what it is all about. I was guided on the onboarding process which for a cryptocurrency platform was quite easy to sign up on (save for the few errors that were mostly of my own brilliant mind). I especially loved the chrome extensions which also serve effectively on the Brave browser. They totally make things easier.

I am although curious as to why crypto platforms always emphasize the fact that lost passwords can not be retrieved. Is it solely a security measure? I like to think that it might be reviewed if it is just for security Anyway, it is great to be here. I look forward to telling you interesting stories, some sad ones, some DIYS, and most importantly, I can’t wait to start making money here.

Hello @cypherhd! This is @indayclara from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first post here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome!

It is tradition here on Hive to introduce themselves so that the Hive community could get to know you better and we can recommend you communities that you would be interested in. And I think this is already a great introduction post but it would be great if you would use a photo of yourself so that we can verify that this account is owned by a unique individual. Here is a typical introduction post for reference Keeping Up With the Buzz - My Introduction to the Hive Community. Once done, feel free to tag @lovesniper and me @indayclara.

Welcome to the Hive community @cypherhd!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, and Keychain,
  3. The owner password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
  7. Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hivians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!
