This is a hard post to write, but the decision has been made to close up shop on the HiveHustlers.com front end and account. It's been 3 years since @thelogicaldude took over and tried to save the community, but things haven't quite gone as planned. Too many accounts to manage, too many tokens and broken history lead to the decision to finally consolidate the businesses under one roof.

HiveCommerce COM Token Moving To Hivelist

With this change, the COM token ownership is being moved over to the Hivelist ecosystem. The payouts for those that stake the COM token will come from the Hivelist account from now on. This is going to be a process that might take a few weeks as we are going to be working on unstaking all Hive Engine tokens and moving them over to the @hivelist account to be staked and used for curation. The Hive Power that is held by this account will be sent to @thelogicaldude to pay for some things needed for the farm as well as build my trading account. Some of it may end up in the Hivelist account as Hive Power to boost that account up as well. As we all know this process takes a while to happen.

COM token issuance will change a bit to fit in with the LIST ecosystem, but will include issuance for those who delegate Hive Power to the @hivelist account. We will be increasing the amount of COM tokens per Hive Power, just haven't decided on the final figure yet. Make sure you follow the @hivelist account for future updates on the HiveCommerce token.

Currently those who provide liquidity to the LIST/SWAP.HIVE pool also earn COM tokens, which will continue. I plan to have the delegation payouts back online by January 1, 2024, accept coming from the Hivelist account.

HUSTLER Dollar Is Basically Dead

This token as been a massive struggle to keep up any value in. With the previous founder buring 80% of the supply, it has been a challenge from the beginning to make anything of it other than a way to earn COM tokens. Things were just a bit confusing so say the least. The market price of the HUSTLER token as about as close to ZERO as it can get so that tells me that the community didn't see any value in it or the community itself for that matter.

Front End Issues

There were constant front end issues on Hivehustlers.com because of the old style STEEM/HIVE condenser front end and constant issues with the server and domain, so to save frustration, we are simply going to be doing away with the front end entirely by the first of the year. The Hivehustlers.com domain will be eventually pointed over to Hivelist.io as that is where we are trying to direct the community to get involved on the already existing ecommerce platform that has multiple use cases going for it. Might as well just bring the entrepreneurial content over as well.

Discord Server Shutting Down

With all of this I am going to be shutting down the discord server for HiveHustlers by the end of the year. There just isn't any real activity in there and it's just another thing to have to keep up with, so we are inviting everyone to come over to the Hivelist server to chat shop about business, ecommerce, etc.

It's For The Best

As I said on my vlog on the @thelogicaldude account, all this is in an effort to consolidate and move along to improve other businesses and get my farm going, so not all is lost. This will allow me to consolidate my focus to what is working, or really what I want to continue to build and improve on. So don't think of it as HiveHustlers going away, think of it as a progression of the Hivelist project the joining of two communities into one awesome HiveCommerce ecosystem!

To Those Who are Currently Delegating

You will want to start the process of undelegating from the @hivehustlers account and once it is finished, you are free to move it to the @hivelist account to continue earning COM tokens! Thank you to those who have supported us along the way!
