It was a thrilling moment indeed. I'm still figuring out how all the plankton to red fish to minnow to dolphin to orca to whale works. In the meantime, I am having a grand old time crating content and engaging with the wonderful global community that makes up Hive.

Plankton and red fish are the same thing, just some people use one term and some the other. It's really based on VESTS, which you can see at hive-buzz, rather than HP, which is why the Hive Power necessary to have the right amount of VESTS to change rank changes with time. I don't remember what each rank's number of VESTS is off the cuff, but I'm sure there's a post around here somewhere that has it. I just know it's gonna be a looooooooooong way for me to reach orca! ;)

Ah, got it. Still learning terminology and how things work. Which is part of what makes Hive a great learning environment.
