August Witness Townhall -- Wednesday August 19 at 12pm EDT
Published on HivePostify by @shadowspub · Tue Aug 18 2026
It’s almost time for the seventh Witness Townhall of 2026.
We’re going to continue the [Rippily experiment](https://go.rippily.com/wave/7950965b/e59ef8ba). We met in the Rippily room I’ve built for the Townhall in July. The poll at the end indicated about 80% of those in attendance liked the venue.
You do not have to open an account on Rippily. You’ll be asked to enter a guest name when you load the room. Please use your Hive username.
The room is setup for 21 Witnesses and 32 members of the community in the audience. If more arrive, there’s a gallery where audience members can participate in the chat. The chat feature is comparable to what we have in Discord.
One of the reasons I have chose to introduce you to this platform is to provide some food for thought — like maybe more virtual events for the Hive platform? Imagine setting up a virtual venue to have Chain Culture or a Hive Open Days that can be platform wide.
I hope you will take the time to join, hear the Witnesses, ask questions and experience the venue. Yes, because hand-raising is available, I’ll be opening the floor for the audience to ask questions. Courtesy is required.
Here is the recording from the July Townhall:
