1. Warning to users with a recovery account not active anymore

A large number of users still have configured a recovery account not valid anymore on the Hive blockchain. This caused some issues in the past weeks so starting from this release a small reminder is shown to prompt those users to switch the recovery account.

The recovery account should be set to an user able to verify your account owner identity and cast the required operations to trigger the recovery process.

More tools to simplify this process will be available in the upcoming releases ;)

2. HiveBuzz Awards (aka HiveBuzz badges)

You can now check the HiveBuzz awards (we are not using the term badges to avoid confusion with the Badges already available on the website) for specific users.

We have a proposal on the Decentralized Hive Fund. You can review the proposal here.
If you agree to the proposal and you think the points mentioned add value to the Hive Blockchain consider supporting it using the above links or directly with this link.


We also run a witness server to help produce the blocks for the Hive Blockchain. You can vote for our witness so we are in a position to process more of them.

Vote on the witness page: https://peakd.com/witnesses

  • Using Keychain: You just have to click and approve the transaction
  • Using HiveSigner: You'll need access to confirm the transaction with your Active Key at least

@deathwing there, the updates here. Your node can now be used on PeakD. Be happy.

Great job guys. Recovery account stuff is quite importnat as we've seen once instance of this already.

I agree...

One, what might be a small issue:
no more button.png

On my alternate account, I do not have any peakd badges, so I have no more button to see the hivebuzz awards. the image is from when I signed in on firefox, same issue though for chrome.

Thanks ....will be improved in the next update ;)

I love using PeakD and am always grateful for the work that the team put into it. It is the Platform to use.

Keep Up the Good work.

Another great way to support Peak D is to make them a beneficiary on all posts :)

🙌🙌🙌

I'm really digg'n the new update, thanks PeakD team!

Thanks for the update!

Why do I have to put my Key to change my recovery, why not embedded in keychain ?

Because Keychain only handle the active, posting and memo keys. To change the recovery account the owner key is required so there is no way to handle this via Keychain as far as I know.

Logic, and I should have known this, thank you for your answer

I saw the notification today:)

I would like to thank @cadawg for reminding me to change my Recovery account.

No problem!

Best front-end and a pretty good set of tools all in one. Thanks

Thanks glad you're liking it

Hey, when can you embed NFT distribution from NFTShowroom?

It would be cool for artists and collectors to be able to distribute NFTs to people throughout the Peakd Platform. I think it would be a revolutionary increase in utility for HIVE NFTs.

What do you mean exactly? How would you like this to work?

Loading...

You need to have 1000 ENGAGE, in order to use this service.

Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 24 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to hive-engine.com

@Hivebuzz badges = Perfect!

yet they are awards... nothing like our badge system.

Good job for sure

Great update

Thanks - HiveBuzz awards are great!
Keep up the good work. PeakD fan here.

Thanks, that's why when I opened my account through peakd it told me to change my recovery account. Actually, I changed it already but not just a month ago and maybe that's the reason.

good work !!!

I need a walk through to help me do that recovery account change and I'm nervous to try. I don't want locked out of my hive!

Changing recovery account has zero possibility of locking you out of Hive. Recovery account is only a setting on your account and doesn't have any impact on logging in.

Ok, thank you for the clarification.

I got a message yesterday about changing my recovery account. I looked at it and it says steem. Well, I changed my pw sometime ago about a week or so after the launched of peakd. And at that time that i changed it, my pw, via actifit, I received new owner private keys both for steem and hive. So, my question is, is my hive owner private key not valid?

If you changed your keys then you'll need to use your new Owner Key.
We have a tool that allows you to use your master password to check to see what your owner key is presently.

Yes, I have all my keys for hive.
I have Owner Key and isn't this the key you need in case you need to recover your account? So, if I have that already, then why do I need to change it? I personally don't know anybody here at personal level. I'm here on my own --- terms, per se.

awesome work guys! By the way what do you think of a "like" button for Hive?

Wonderful

Amazing stuff! Thanks for building all this

Why are you for half a year doing random things, instead of doing what people want?

What exactly?

добавлю самое необходимое:

  • опросы, интегрированные в пост;
  • механизм обхода тупых 7-дневных выплат;
  • календарь публикаций;
  • подбор по вкусам и стилям;
  • фреймы;
  • фейк-контроль;
  • оптовое 'mute' политически безумных;
  • цвета и оттенки для ботов, прочитанного, лайкнутого, отложенного, языков...
  • добавление в ленту внешних RSS;
  • сказочные шахматы и pgn в редакторе;
  • официальные референдумы для прямой демократии;
  • моментальность и отдельная общая панель для комментариев, чтоб не ныкались по мессенджерам---

I'm sure that the first item will be the translation, and then:

  • shop instead of a primitive profile;
  • page customization (skins);
  • personalized recommendations instead of popular nonsense;
  • sorting ...

just do a poll for dPoll
