# New CHARY Price
It is more or less the old price.
But for the first time, there was a buffer last month, so that the price didn't shrink below 0.06 HIVE/CHARY.
I backed it up by buying 10.000 CHARY at 0.06 HIVE/CHARY. But there was money left and I ordered 5000 CHARY for 0.07 and further 10000 CHARY for 0.08 HIVE/CHARY

So, now is enough money in the system to keep the price stable and to be sure, that it does not go under 0.06 HIVE/CHARY for the next month.
All in all it is about 200 US Dollar.

# Handling abusers
This is our old and still most important problem in the chary system. The discussion came up with @horpey's post [Chary Commuznity Abusers](https://hive.blog/hive-149312/@horpey/chary-community-abusers).
There are some people using the system to take out money and we are not sure, if they are just spammers/abusers or if they really do good things to people. I mean, how can we proof, if someone just takes some fotos and videos from a charity worker somewhere out there at the rim of the world and claims that they are from himself.
For example @hakeemshah96. He posts a lot of charity content, which I cannot proof if this is really from him or not.
He has earned a lot of CHARY in the past and he staked also a lot of it - That's totally legal and within the rules of this system.
Now he is upvoting himself and therefor earning more. That is not fine and we can downvote him for this. Maybe this would nurture him.

I have created the chary system as a playground for this way of donating. If we get our trust problem under control, then this kind of system will progress and we may get more sponsors. If it fails, then we know, that this way of donating is a dead end, and I will spend my money smarter (namely direct to people I can trust).

So let us see if we as a community can nurture the abusers or not. I need the help of you, otherwise it is a one man show with me as the man in the middle.

# Monitoring Chary
In the last few month you didn't hear a lot from me. That is because Chary is my hobby and I work on it, when I have the time and desire to do it.
But I was also working in the background. I have started a server on Amazon Web Services and installed Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana on it. I started from scratch and had to learn a lot. Now I am able to upload logfiles there. My goal is, to see who is earnig which amount of HIVE with CHARY in an easy way.

For the one who is interested, here an example:
> [ec2-user@ip-172-31-63-160 ~]$ cat charycurl.bat
curl -XPOST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "find", "params": { "contract": "market", "table": "tradesHistory", "query": { "symbol": "CHARY"}, "limit":1000, "offset": 0 }, "id": 1 }' 'https://api.hive-engine.com/rpc/contracts' > charycurl.log
sed s/"_id"/"\r_id"/g charycurl.log > charycurl2.log

Result (one line):
>_id":546873,"type":"sell","buyer":"achimmertens","seller":"anderssinho","symbol":"CHARY","quantity":"46.476","price":"0.06000000","timestamp":1607336154,"volume":"2.78856000","buyTxId":"8a3ab702e0326c1f2876c5cacbfe24869ec08529","sellTxId":"1f26de0673e40457d71e

And this file can be uploaded to Kibana and be interpeted there with the following grok command:
>_id":%{NUMBER:ID:INT},"type":"%{DATA:Type}","buyer":"%{DATA:Buyer}","seller":"%{DATA:Seller}","symbol":"%{DATA:Symbol}","quantity":"%{NUMBER:Quantity}","price":"%{NUMBER:Price}","timestamp":%{NUMBER:Zeit},"volume":"%{NUMBER:Volume}","buyTxId":"%{DATA:BuyTxId}","sellTxId":"%{DATA:SellTxId}

Now I'm struggling with the UNIX time format.

(So this is just to impress you :-))

# What is CHARY?
https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/achimmertens/K55ZCuxg-CHARY.png
Chary is a subtoken of Hive (like the beercoin). One can exchange it on the [Hive-Engine](https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=CHARY).
When you use the hashtag "chary" and get upvoted by people, that have staked CHARY, you will get some CHARY.
But you only will get upvotes, when you write about your charity project, where you give us a good proof of charity. This means, we need pictures, where we can see, that people in need are really helped by you.
So please don't abuse the hashtag.


The Chary system can be reached via Hive (i.e. https://peakd.com/created/chary) or directly via https://chary.org

For more details see https://www.chary.org/faq.html
