It's been over 6 months since a Hextech update post has been written and so I guess it's time to write one.This is just me(@rishi556) providing a personal update. Just want to let you guys know what I've been up to if you aren't following me personally.

Hi, we just wanted to give a quick announcement about HF24. We have updated our witness to use HF24 from now on. As we haven't yet signed a block(as of posting) with the new code, it won't show the version that we are using. It should be updated once we sign a block with the new code.

Here's what we've been doing for the month of June and start of July. As always, sorted by individually and as a team.@Rishi556This has been a busy month. My project to help others, @giftgiver(provides free delegations to those low on RC), has gotten a lot more traction and our daily page views has gone up 3x from the start of the month till today. Its been seeing a lot more usage thanks to the efforts of @hivepeople and @planktonsupport in order to help users who are out of RC to be able to interact with the chain. GG is also getting an update this month and we launched up a token, you can read about all of that by following @giftgiver's blog.

Hive power up day is quickly approaching us and is being led by @traciyork this month(check out the official post here: ). Hextech loves new users and wants to help them grow and we decided that we are going to do our part by offering prizes.

Hey, this is the monthly update that the @hextech team will be providing to show you guys what we have been up and and what we plan on doing.@rishi556I've been working on a few private projects to help Hive, as well as one public one that I hope can be a good onboarding tool for hive. Raven(viewable at ) is my idea of a microblogging platform, where you can send out 300 character "caws". Best part? With the usage of none of them appear on your follower's feed and thus you can caw as much you want without the worry of spamming people's regular feeds. They appear on our website, and that of anyone else( who uses our API to show the data or builds their own database and displays it on their site using our open source code). That does mean no rewards, but rewards aren't everything and this should allow for users to make short statements without the need to worry for rewards pool abuse. It's very much so a work in progress, so far a MVP has been completed and more is coming soon. You can check up on its developments at
