Hey together! 👋

As I’ve been running my SPS validator node @herman.sps for some time now and already received great support through your votes, I think it’s time to introduce myself a bit as well.

I started my journey in October 2021 when I first discovered the HIVE world. My first game was Splinterlands – just like for many others. I had a lot of fun playing it and spent quite some time there. During this period I also met several people who were playing other games too.

So I began exploring many other web3 games over the last few years.
The ones I’m still playing are Wrestling Organization Online (WOO) @wrestorgonline and Dcrops @dcrops.
Give them a try if you haven’t already! 💪

From a blockchain gamer to a blockchain developer

The more I got addicted to the Hive blockchain, the more I wanted to support it with my skills.
So I started coding an autobattler for WOO on my own and was able to present it to @bookerman when it was finished.
That was the day I got my foot in the door to becoming a developer for WOO. Since then, I’ve gained a lot of behind-the-scenes experience and built a strong network, of course.

Running my first node

After some time, I also started running my own Hive-Engine node and tried to help and support other node runners to keep everything running with high availability.
If you have staked WORKERBEE, feel free to vote for @herman.witness if you like what I’m doing.
I manage both the Hive node and the Hive-Engine node for WOO as well.

Why should you vote for my node

I’ve been active in the community for more than 4 years now, and I’ve gained solid expertise in running nodes.
Also, I recently joined a project called SplinterHub together with @bamlolx, @endecs and Fabi.
Our goal is to provide a website with helpful tools, dashboards, and a marketplace for Splinterlands. For @splinterhub for future updates.

We launched just two days ago with a Soulbound Monitor to track your progress and a multi-account dashboard for players with many game accounts.
Many more features will follow in the upcoming months for sure!

Your vote would mean a lot to me and would show that the work I’m doing is helpful for everyone using the blockchain.
Thank you very much in advance! 🙏

Greetings,
herman-german
