Hello Hello to all Hivians

I have had this draft open for three days as I have been battling a flu/cold thingy to actually write it!

Then I find out today it is March 10th or MAR10 ... So Happy Mario Day

Let's have An After Show Recap from Episode 10 of Talk Time with Tengo in the Ecency Discord Voice Chat on March 7th at 8pm UTC

We had a great opening to the show with an Ecency news recap

First up was a discussion about being PHYSICAL due to the topic for this weeks #edtopic @mypathtofire being ...
Ecency Discord Weekly Posting Topic: PHYSICAL

So don't forget to get your entry in!
btw there are some LEGION and CINE tokens up for grabs as the prompt has kindly been sponsored by those Musical treasure hunters from Brighton the @stickupboys

You can earn up to 15% APR paid in Legion by delegating Hive Power to @stickupcurator. By doing so, you support art and music on Hive. You can find out more about the StickUpBoys from their link here.

Not only that, but they are also sponsoring 50 CINE tokens to celebrate the new launch of the Cine TV Blog.

However, it does not stop there, they will be supporting Talk Time with Tengo over the next few weeks with Legion and CINE tokens. So stay tuned!

Thank you guys for your support on so many @ecency projects and be sure to check out their links.

Don't forget to check out the new ecency community Ecency Support they have a weekly writing contest now from @ecency-star and the latest week has been announced and the prompt is My dream

@samsmith1971 made a great suggestion saying why not combine it with the prompt number 21 from @theinkwell about daydreaming. This was fantastic but now these are over I think. Do your own research.

We welcomed our featured guests ... yes the audience members!

The main focus of the conversation was around ChatGPT and the use or non use of it on Hive and the role of HiveWatchers to police said use.

Many Hivians have posted about this, and there have been many comments and bans dished out in Discord servers.

AI generated art is not generally a problem as long as you are using it to enhance your post.

AI has been around since the 1950s and it is here to stay, ChaptGPT now that it is freely available for free is the cause of somany farmers justcheating the reward pool and that is what needs to be addressed.

@shadowspub in the audience wrote a great post My Chat With ChatGPT About Using Ai Content , there was also a post written from a previous featured guest @ecoinstant My experience with Hive Watchers which prompted the who watches the Watchers conversation and don't forget the post from @neoxian The Stupidity of Hivewatchers

It was a great conversation and the bottom line was that is you are going to use AI then cite it in your post and quote/highlight the AI text and make sure that your post has at least 50% original content as laid out in the post from @hivewatchers AI-Generated Content = Not Original Content

Vienna Gate

There was so much drama and chismis on the chain in the last couple of weeks, and the events of #viennagate even took my breath away!

Although I am not a member of the DACH community, by virtue of being the @hiq and @hiq.magazine proofreader I was aware of the goings on wrt to Hive Vienna meetups!

But charging people to make accounts, keep those account keys, sending crypto from these accounts to your own accounts etc etc

50 euros to 90 euros even up to and over 700 euros! The mind boggles and then through EU Erasmus funding, well you need to read for yourself and make up your own mind!

Is this made up .... ?

No fluffing way! It has been happening under our very noses and rocked the DACH community to its core!

However all the latest information has been brought to you in Special Editions of the HiQ magazine , which were issued last night ...

Check out all the comments in the German edition [Ger] HiQ Sonderausgabe - Vienna Gate

Even the English edition has comments too! [ENG] HiQ Special Edition - Vienna Gate

Witnesses

Talk Time with Tengo is held in the voice channel of the Ecency Discord server, this is a screenshot from Tuesday night at the time of the show starting and from the general English channel.

@slothlyd asked how you go about getting the Witness role on Ecency discord. Well @melinda010100 displayed some German efficiency that even @hiq and the DACH community would be proud of and said done. This was all done in the blink of an eye!

We then had an interesting discussion on the roles of witnesses and what they get paid!

Do you know what a witness does?
Do you use all your votes?

Perhaps we should have a Talk Time with Tengo just to discuss witnesses!

Check this post out from @quochuy Witness Earnings Monthly Report - February 2023

The top 20 witnesses all got more or less $3968 ... number 21 go on have a guess what they got ....

.
.
.
.
2813.08 HP/m, $1136.25/m what a fluffing drop and then it drops and drops etc.

Witnesses keep the chain going, without them we would be fluffed!

So check out your votes and I suggest @good-karma as we are in the @ecency discord and community!

Also the sloth from Kirkcaldy, Scotland where I live @slothbuzz

But of course, we cannot forget the long time supporters of TTwT and that is HiQ magazine who with typical Germanic efficiency called their witness @hiq.witness !

Courtesy of @stickupboys we sent some CINE and LGN tokens to random members of the audience and courtesy of me the following Hivians got 50 ecency points

@dreemsteem @joalheal @melinda010100 @mypathtofire
@nelinoeva @penderis @quekery @samsmith1971 @shadowspub @slothlyd @yenmendt @hoosie @coquicoin @smooms

Next Tuesday 14th March I am delighted to welcome back @shanibeer and Saturday Savers and perhaps an update all about XV token!

I love round numbers and today as a round number day and something I should share in light of our guest next week.

I started the 365 savingschallenge in December, and although I started a new on in January 1st I am still carrying on with the one I started in December, and today was bam ...

First of all I received 0.868 HBD on my HBD savings,fluff yeah!
Secondly it was Day 100 of doing the savings challenge!

Thank you @shanibeer you rock!

Thanks for participating if you tuned in and thanks for visiting!

Special Thanks to @good-karma for letting us host the show in @ecency discord and finally to Super Eli @coquicoin for helping me out with admin duties!
