AteXoras Pub
This Pub will open weekly with the purpose of acting as a place to meet, socialize, exchange information, get free stuff, you get the idea for HIVE's sake!
Otherwise stated, all rewards will go to @null (🔥 burn, baby burn) because @forkyishere usually feels cold in winter 🥶. You wanna help this guy? Come along, read other's comments, have a great time. This is his wish, and it's YOUR choice to enjoy the power of this Pub!
NOTE: And in today's opening, I am going to surprise @risingstargame with 100% of the Pub rewards towards that game. 🙂 This is an appreciation for the hard work you guys have been doing around.
IMAGE REQUIRED
The pub needs help from someone in this community! To be worthwhile every time you produce or create an initiative, you have to share! Be a Leader and help others. I am asking for applications to create the next image for AteXoras Pub. Can be an NFT (donated to @atexoras.pub), or a direct share with all rights and exclusivity mentioned/negotiated with @forykw (the Pub manager).
Drop any intentions below mentioning the manager, please. For now, I will just use the same opening image, with some extra painting on it... for hints about any applications!
I will donate 1% of this post curation for applicants when using their image. I can even rotate images... not yet defined. Depends on what's coming.
📊 Pubecomics
In this Pub, we currently serve the following (🙏 @forykw):
Drinks?
- 🍻 BEER
- 🍷 WINE
Meals?
- 🍕 PIZZA
Appreciations?
- 🗣 ENGAGE

🃏 NFTs?
There will be always a chance to get an NFT under this Pub. The owner has thousands of them, and most likely others visiting the Pub would like to express their publicity by making their own offers.

🥇 Specials this Week!
This week's special is... a MEGA Giveaway for the #HIVE Game Rising Star community! Games are loved by the HIVE community and we should all share this excitement.
Register for a draw...
@forykw did this post announcing the massive giveaway! Registration valid until the end of post curation... 20 April, 1:44PM (UTC+13) - or check post curation time for an easier timezone discovery.
For this event, @forykw found himself in need of some help. Yeah... 😅 purchasing 408 packs (34 x 100K STARBITS 12-packs) would mean 34 transactions just to do it... so, by request, @risingstargame was kind enough to help out here, with a single transaction of:
⭐⭐⭐ 3.4 Million STARBITS! ⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much @risingstargame. Appreciate the gesture.
Imagine yourself going to the shop and buying 408 x 3 = 1224 #NFTs (that's how @forykw feels today)... crazy!
The Opening Event
Throughout the weekend... @forykw will be opening cards. The first LEGENDARY, EPIC, and RARE cards will be given away! Let's hope for a LEGENDARY at least...
When such cards appear, they will be shared in the Pub and on the giveaway post. Sharing will be part of the frenzy. 😋
@forykw will also be available for any questions, tips, and special tactics on HIVE games.
🏆 Results of the Giveaway!
🤝 Sharing and Why?
Since the bound reason to run this Pub is to basically get more attention to HIVE within HIVE first, and then externally, it is obvious that sharing these gatherings will be important. Help out if you can.
This is also a place where potential new users can get quick attention. Hence, the Pub can be a great tool to quickly onboard more users. There are more people around, there are more eyes watching, etc.
📶 Frequency
For now, every weekend (@forykw is on UTC+13) starting on Fridays with the intent of having the maximum exposure during the weekend time. Then, a few more extra days to cure the booze, and we are back again on Friday.
Should I keep her? 🤣 (or should I create an NSFW Night Club?)
Let's gooooooooooo #HIVE... 🍻🍷😜
Disclaimer: We might need to edit this post in the future to either correct wrong information or to add new ones. Everything is recorded on the blockchain anyhow.
What a cool idea.
You may fill a few boxes of beer with the friends of the pub to draw the BeerKing
There is a new and little
BEERgame at https://friends.beersaturday.com/ where we have a new #BeerKing or #BeerQueen whenever 24 friends add a BEER token to the empty box.https://friends.beersaturday.com/ and you just need the keychain extension to use it with just one BEER from your Hive-engine wallet.
:) People... we are going over the table with this one! 🤣
May the force be with BEER!

I'm getting used to it slowly, but been wondering, is it that hard to collect DEC for pakcs? I've done some maths and got that I have to play for few weeks just to get 1 pack?

BEER.I have to think about a better way to expose these so that people can better manage the audience trying to look for these as it becomes quite hard for people to notice under the comments.
Maybe I can add a Giveaways section to the Pub, and then people can send ask for their links to be included under the post. I think I will add that to the next gathering.
That would be great - a dedicated section.
On the other hand, things tend to get blurry in the pub all the time :)

Indeed and I commit to that opinion. The front-end discovery is not something easy for everyone under the premisses I have made this Pub. But it's a start.
I knew there would be lots of those... still I am trying this out for real.
First getting the experiment to a level I am comfortable with and then calling it out for other things.
Keep that feedback coming!

That's around 1224 cards... with an average of 20 IM for every 36 cards opened... I sense... around 680 IM increase. Plus more 1221 (if I give away the 3 I want) cards, and while you guys blink an eye, some more I am going to buy.
Careful there you might end up taking on foxon. 😂

I have some miners to warm me up...
Lately, I advise some LTC + DOGE dual miners if possible. They are quite effective in maintaining your power bill PAID, while you eat up your house.
I did not had !PIZZA but I wish I could do one today.
@ervin-lemark! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @forykw.

Heating up the house with a mining rig is somewhat questionable in my mind. Just an opinion :)
Hummm I thought about that too in the beginning, then my Electrical engineering skills told me otherwise.
So, what's the difference between using an oil heater (that does nothing and is only a pure resistor) and a miner? if both are rated 1000W... there is no physics difference. Both output 1000W of heat. This is of course neglecting the kinetic energy for fans and other movable parts that usually is less than 1%.
OK, you are right. They both consume lots of energy. So, if your heat source is direct electricity. Yet, what if you have other options, more nature-friendly?
I was pre'talking already in case "your don't have" =)
But yeah... using the sun to capture heat for the night and better isolation techniques are of course way better. Lots of them.
Although... I would use Electrical solar panels to use miners... =) just in case the power goes down.
Is this feasible? Solar panels for miners? In winter?
First music on the pub! =) Nice.

Nice to have you around again.
Will check those up. I Will start by replying to the pub with how it looks to have so many cards to open.
I was here a few hours ago, got some free time for it. But nobody was around anymore, so I've started posting articles. Now it's again almost 3AM :)) just like last week when I was in. Hugggs!
Yeah... we have to come to this pub with a different mentality from the physical pubs... it's like a deferred pub!
The point is... the conversation can continue throughout the week.
Super!
I'm having a birthday party tomorrow, I go to a friend's B'day and I only wish she were on Hive so we could share some fun in the pub. Great. If the pub is opened all week, I'll check in again from time to time.
That's exactly the idea 😝
;) !LOVE your mood! And happy birthday in case its today =) No need to specify.
I'm celebrating my friend B'day and this means the second time I'm being in a restaurant in the last 5 months because I got spine issues. So, I look forward to it.
Plus, you're GOLD also. I want some pub FUN soon in Hive. ;)
3:20 AM got to get some sleep soon because tomorrow I have to be presentable as a lady :) So I will need time to arrange myself.
I am so happy when we talk.

So the sponsor this week is a cat?
Wow were you the reason for the starbits price pump? Those 3.4 million starbits probably gobbled up the ask prices on HE.

The cat is desperately asking for a sponsor... =) contact me if you have any offers.
Wow 100 packs, that makes you dream. I hope you are luckier than me, so far I have yet to see the color of a legendary card.
The pizzas have something to do with those of RisingStar?
Well done for the pub initiative, it's a great idea, and wish you every success. 👍
!PIZZA is something you should eat in a healthy manner.
It's independent of Rising Star, but I would recommend some quantities... if you like it.

Yes I have been playing it for months. I have not put any outside money into it so I have not been able to make it to the second area yet. I have not gotten the required guitar in any of my card packs yet.

Guys guys! This is Legendary Epic Rare moment! 😱 I am going to giveaway a Legendary!!!!!
All 3 cards to give away are now discovered. I wish all the applicants the best of luck! Will wait until the end of the post curation for further registrations/applications, and then draw these 3 cards.
Two of these cards (the E21 and the L13) I don't have and if until the end of the 408 packs I don't get them again, this means the new owners of these cards will have a massive opportunity and value win!
Again, I will wait for the end of the Giveaway post curation to close any registrations and then draw the 3 lucky ones that will get these cards. Hopefully the same person will not get the 3 cards LOL But hey... it can happen.
Incredible how the bar is dead after a few days... I need to think about ways...
