We’re back today, in TWO hours, on the Hive Discord focused on the Hive Community.
For more details on the show visit @buttcoin’s announcement post
This post is letting you know, there is two hours until we start.
That will be at 6pm UTC | 2pm EST | 11am PST
What is the Hive Thrive Community Hour?
A HIVE discord show that will have a town hall feel to it.
We see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:
✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage
Meet our guest
🎙️ This week’s guest is @pharesim, one of Hive’s Top 20 witnesses, a hive infrastructure supporter, and the creator of multiple tools and services that support the ecosystem behind the scenes.
He’s the developer of HiveInvite, an onboarding gateway that makes creating Hive accounts easy —and he also runs a public Hive node at api.pharesim.me, which helps front-ends stay fast and stable.
But beyond the tech, he’s also the mind behind Curangel—a long-running curation project that distributes rewards to both delegators and curators, promotes quality content, and actively pushes back against spam and abuse on Hive. It’s a system that blends manual curation, automated voting, and governance-backed downvotes to keep Hive clean, fair, and discoverable.
We’ll talk witness roles, blockchain infrastructure, decentralized content discovery, and the invisible mechanics that make Hive tick.
We’ll be diving into:
• What it really means to be a Top 20 Hive witness in 2025
• The evolution of witness responsibilities since the Hive fork
• HiveInvite - and easy onboarding tool
• The mission and mechanics behind Curangel
• How it curates, distributes rewards, and applies downvotes to protect Hive
• Why infrastructure matters (public nodes, RPC performance, decentralization)
• What most Hive users don’t understand about how the blockchain runs
• Where Hive is heading—and what needs to happen to get there
—————
This isn’t just another talk show—it’s modeled after a town hall for the Hive community. Whether you’re a dev, a content creator, a witness, or just someone who wants to learn and be more engaged, this is your space.
So mark your calendars, join the discussion, and let’s build the Hive we want to see!
🚀 See you today, today June 24th @ 6 PM UTC!
