And believe me or not, that's an exciting competition!

Anybody can enter it: link your Reddit to Hive on hiveposh.com, share a link in a Reddit community and get automatically rewarded (read the 8 Dos and Don'ts to start smoothly). Then, enter the HivePosh contest by posting stats of your top 5 Hive link shares in the comments section below 👇 Users who have generated the most views win prizes:

200 HP delegation + 20 HBD for 🥇
150 HP delegation + 15 HBD for 🥈
100 HP delegation + 10 HBD for 🥉
50 HP delegation + 5 HBD for 4️⃣
50 HP delegation + 5 HBD for 5️⃣

The delegations will last as long as the contest goes on and as long as you keep sharing links on Reddit; they can stack, and previous winners can increase their delegations. Read the details of how to participate and ask me in the comment section!

Results of Contest #16

It was a busy week. Traveled a lot, from Hue to Da Nang first; several days later, I went from Da Nang to Lao border where I found another bus to a roadside town Xepon, had a sleep in a hotel without wifi, then took a minivan in the morning to reach a provincial capital called Savannakhet, then traveled on another bus to Mukdahan, Thailand, and finally took an overnight bus to Bangkok with arrival at 4 am (although they promised 5:30 am).

Okay, I survived 😀 and even found time to share two Hive links on Reddit. One was deleted as sometimes happens to political posts, and another made 99K (the post):

And that's how I get the gold 🥇

It wasn't luck, by the way. Want proof? Look at my share I made a month ago:

Don't you find it's almost the same? 😀 The delayed altseason as topic is hotter than anything, that's why. (I was lucky though to come across these wonderful posts.) Checking topic limits for this sub helped too: https://cctopiclimits.onrender.com/

@blkchn almost reached me with his 5 shares including this giant:

86.5K in total brings @blkchn the silver 🥈 Congratulations! 🥂

Hungry for rewards after being forced to skip two contests, @dkkfrodo gets the bronze 🥉 with amazing 48.7K views. @tsnaks comes fourth 4️⃣ since his two shares have no link in preview (check out the rules; sorry 😞); however, he generated a great views number in total anyway: 39.8K. @davideownzall, down with the flu, managed to make 34.9K and gets 50 HP + 5 HBD for 5️⃣

@guurry123 joined us with decent total 15.4K, welcome! @oldmans and @cryptoreforma formed the honorary rearguard of the list. @theworldaroundme decided to have a break but continues sharing Hive links so I hope to see her return as well as the return of @loading and @ifhy. 🙂

The list of results:

@x-rain 99 = 99K -> 200 HP + 20 HBD 🥇
@blkchn 14 + 8.6 + 7.5 + 49 + 7.4 = 86.5K -> 150 HP + 15 HBD 🥈
@dkkfrodo 14 + 12 + 9.3 + 7.3 + 6.1 = 48.7K -> 100 HP + 10 HBD 🥉
@tsnaks 19 + 15 + 13 + 10 + 7.8 = 39.8K -> 50 HP + 5 HBD 4️⃣
@davideownzall 8.1 + 5.1 + 4.4 + 12 + 5.3 = 34.9K -> 50 HP + 5 HBD 5️⃣
@guurry123 3.9 + 3.7 + 2.4 + 2.7 + 2.7 = 15.4K
@oldmans 2.7 + 2 + 3.1 + 1.5 + 2.6 = 11.9K
@cryptoreforma 0.9 + 0.7 = 1.6K

Additionally, @blkchn, @dkkfrodo, @tsnaks, @davideownzall, and @guurry123 will get 2% each from the next HivePosh Weekly post.
