Hello Everyone,
Well, here I am in Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK at @c0ff33a's place, getting ready for the first UK Hive Meetup in two years. I am writing to you, literally, from the nerve centre of the event:
I've had my first coffee and I'm raring to go! @stevenwood and @c0ff33a are here, sorting out chairs and tables and somewhere out in the wilds of Halifax, @livinguktaiwan is looking for parking. Lots of others are on their way: we are going to have a great day!
It's dead easy to organise your own meetup - find a venue (it can be a pub or a cafe), set a date and time and let everyone know.
Now then, on with the show!
1. EDS Mini Miner (EDSMM)
Over 7,000 EDSMM have been sold and sales continue at a steady pace. Savers are looking at a current income over 25% APY - how about that? (Remember that income will change over time: @eddie-earner has given some simulations about that so you can plan your future income against your budget). This week, the @eddie-earner account reached Orca status, yay!
You can also buy your EDSMMs directly from the @eddie-earner account, saving you the 1% fees to deposit and withdraw from Hive-Engine. We have tried to set up recurring payments but in a test we found the code wasn't able to pick up repeat payments - we'll keep working to find a way round that. Meanwhile, you can still do one-off purchases by transferring HIVE to @eddie-earner.
There are 480 chances to win in the lottery every 24 hours with just 1 HIVE.
- Read about it in this post.
- Buy EDSMMs or buy directly from your HIVE wallet.
- REMEMBER TO STAKE YOUR EDSMM TOKENS TO START MINING!
Saturday Savers Club is going to be giving away EDSMMs from now until the end of the year. These are sponsored by @shanibeer. Each For your chance to win, take part in each of the contests as they come up in the Saturday Savers Post. Last week, the contest was to tell us your plans for crypto, based on @neoxian's post about retiring having HODLed for 12 years. A few people mentioned their current plans, but there weren't any posts linking to long-term goals and plans. Maybe it was a bit early for that contest - we'll try again later in the series.
2. EDSMM Contests
This Week - Tell Us Your Savings Slogans!
Or invent some new ones!
So we're talking about phrases like:
- pay yourself first
- start small, start today
- once and done
- set and forget
Can you invent some new ones? Do you know some old ones, maybe that your grandma taught you? Which one would you pick to help a new saver find their way and why? Tell us your ideas in the comments below for the chance to win an EDSMM!
Week beginning Saturday 26 June 2022
Timed to coincide with Hive Power Up Day, the challenge for week beginning Saturday 26 June 2022 (next week) will be to write a post with your half-year review of your savings plan. Some things to think about for your post:
Have there been any setbacks to overcome and how did you do that?
What has been your biggest learning about saving over the past six months?
What changes, if any, are you planning for the second half of 2022?
You can combine your savings post with your Power Up post, if you want to.
Watch out for that contest next week.

New Saturday Savers Club Feature: Discord Chat
Join us for chat about savings and investments: https://discord.gg/b69vqncv
Ground Rules:
- The SPI family motto is Get Rich Slowly. This covers EDS and EDSM, the home tokens for the Saturday Savers Club, as well as SPI, LBI and CL. The bottom line is that we are looking for well-researched options which bring a steady income. Good options will have an identifiable and easily accessible team (with emphasis on more than one person involved), a clear plan and use case for the token, and transparency and accountability through regular reporting.
- Individual members are free (of course they are) to publish guides to tokens under their own account - and any number of members can do that.

EDS and EDSM Queries
The quickest way to get any queries about payments resolved is to post a message in the #eddie-earner channel of the SPinvest discord: https://discord.gg/njDb8Gnh and tag @silverstackeruk. Most problems that happen are technical bugs and are quickly resolved once we know about them. Housekeeping for @eddie-earner, EDS and EDSM is usually done on Monday UTC.

Remember for success - Start Small, Start Today
It can be any day, and it can be any day when you've had a break and want to start again.
- the best way to build wealth is to save small amounts regularly.
