Hive Creator Days, Buzzparty 2025 Graz Recap

in BuzzParty Meet Hive! β€’ yesterday (edited)

Hello, everyone! 😎

I think I got the last ticket, number 30, and there was nothing for it but to go to this event.
Here's a summary of the two days, a bit longer story, but I think you'll find it interesting 😜

1st May, Labour Day, and I set off for Graz at around 7 am this morning.
I started at the roundabout at home, thinking about how symbolic the beehive is (from Ilirska Bistrica was one of the most famous Slovenian beekeepers, Anton Žniderőič; he invented a special beehive named after him). That is why the beehive is one of the symbols of the city.

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

According to Google Maps, it takes just over three hours without stopping. But because I stopped a couple of times, it took about an hour longer.

I had a doll for company and flowers for the late @beeber.

The border between Slovenia and Austria

Half an hour to go.
Graz, here we come!

And here we are!

Spacelend is a coworking space for startups right in the centre of Graz. It's the perfect place for a conference, party, or buzz like this!

But first, coffee!
I had to learn how the coffee machine works :) πŸ€“
Excellent coffee.

Thanks to @tibfox, @reiseamateur, and their team, everything was ready.

Exhibition of physical NFTs from the NFTShowroom Gallery.
Although I was one of the first, some have already been sold.

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

Hive Rock! Thanks to @mipiano.

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

What's next? Dinner in 3 Goldene Kugeln, socialising and fun.
I first went to the hotel where I had left my things, and then took a short walk to the restaurant.

The view from the hotel.

A short walk in the afternoon sun and some interesting (for me, hahah) details.

Bridge over the Mura River

Beer!
Very good, fresh draft Puntigamer :)

And of course dinner and fun.

For me, it ended as ... πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« ...

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

On the second day, the conference.
It was opened by @tifbox and @reiseamateur.

πŸ“· 😭 πŸ“·

Ecency front-end news

Upgrades, stability and onboarding with crypto wallets.
Yeah, by me :)

@gtg has also prepared a surprise.
He called @roelandp via video conference to tell us where and when he would be 10.Hive Fest!

Who will be there?

Worldmappin

The latest news from Worldmappin, the largest travel-related community on Hive, is from @ninaeatshere and @masterswatch.
They show us, step by step, how to pin our awesome posts on the map.
Did you know that there are now more than 130.000 pins on Worldmappin map?
Awesome!

Yes, must pin this post :)

Apis Hive

Apis Hive is a very nice gamification and curation project led by @livinkuktaiwan.
It's aimed at beginners, those who want to grow in Hive actively in the long term. Through the game, step by step, stair by stair, they get rewards and learn about the ecosystem.

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

Another outstanding presentation by @minigunner.
He gave us an overview of Distriator, an app that gives you cashback when you make purchases with BTC Lighting or HBD (Hive Backed Dollar), by documenting your purchases on Hive Blockchain.

I was even more impressed when he demonstrated how to make your own Hive Debit NFC Card, load it with HBD, and send it to another Hive user in a second.
No fees! Pure DIY!
This may be the start of a parallel economy with global implications.

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

Clean Planet

Finally, @tibfox presented the Clean Planet initiative, encouraging people to clean up litter in their local area.
The project has been running since 2018, with over 3800 members who have published over 37,700 posts.

This is Global Hive Community, anyone can join!

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

After the presentations, we visited Schloss Eggenberg, a party, and dinner!

We still had about an hour before dinner, and since I had to be back on Saturday morning, we had a Beer Picnic with Green Gold Brewing beers in the park in front of the castle.
I missed @detlev :)

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

And then dinner

πŸ“· 😎 πŸ“·

Finally, I would like to thank everyone, especially the organizers (I know how much effort it takes to put on such an event), for an unforgettable experience!

@reiseamateur, @llunasoul, @growandbow, @ninaeatshere, @bil.prag, @godfish, @masterswatch, @gtg, @tibfox, @alessandrawhite, @reiseamateur, @livinguktaiwan @solarwarrior, @elmirabaer, @quekery, @cryptospa, @ph1102, @stayoutoftherz, @tinabrezpike, @marjanko, @minigunner, @dovycola, @bitterirony, @akipponn, @dobranoc, @themyscira, @priyanarc, @mipiano.

Ha ha,.... πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
Great summary, I'm glad you had a great time 🍻

Yes, it was a great experience and fun. And πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« 😎

I didn't realise you're from Slovenia! I was there the few days before Graz, and also took the train back to Ljubljana to fly home yesterday.

The flowers to beeber was a lovely touch, although most of us never had the pleasure of meeting her in person, those who interacted with her online all knew her as a kind and beautiful person who left us too early.

It doesn't matter where we are from; the main thing is that we see each other occasionally.
Thank you for the presentation; there should be more initiatives like this. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

What a party it was! I’m glad you made it home safe :)

I actually have a fresh #beersaturday material from Maribor, stay tuned!

Yes, it was great for me, too. I came home safe, and driving was easy, with almost no traffic, for four hours. Oh, I'm curious about fresh material :)
!BEER


Hey @godfish, here is a little bit of BEER from @seckorama for you. Enjoy it!

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

Truly amazing! I hope to attend the next one and meet you all 😁

That would be good. You certainly won't be disappointed. 😎

Thanks for a fantastic recap of the event from your point of view! You took some great photos on the road to Graz and also at the event! I'm afraid mine will not be of that quality!
Also, a very nice touch paying a tribute to @beeber as she was one of the pillars of the Ecency discord and HIVE! πŸ’œ

Thank you very much for sharing, and it was great to meet you again! 🍻

It was an excellent event, and I hope to see you elsewhere. Kuala Lumpur, maybe? 😎
And let's not forget @beeber.

This is a wholesome recap πŸ‘

I tried to check everything. 😎

Thank you for the support!

Thank you for sharing!

I'm glad you like it! 😎

Great stuff! I'm glad to have met you and see you again soon, yeah?

Thank you, that will be nice!
!INDEED

Good stuff, good people and good topics over there. This seemed like fun!

(And I am curious what you did to your photos to get such nice round corners in markdown, of was this coming from your photo app?)

Yes, it was fun. What do you mean by round corners? In a mobile app? I think that's an Ecency mobile app feature. I don't use any photo app for that.

Heheh I see now while being on my computer. I initially saw them in the app indeed

(never knew!!)

I didn't know either until you pointed it out. 😎
