MICROBA HIVE User Manual
1. Purpose
HIVE is the member network, qualification and Nectar workspace. It consumes canonical member and sponsor identity from PROFILE and calculates HIVE-specific relationships, lifecycle status and Nectar activity.
2. Opening HIVE
Open PROFILE → HIVE. HIVE stays inside the PROFILE content frame.
Current member sections are:
- Overview
- Qualification
- My Network
- Nectar
- Referral
- Activity
3. Overview
Overview summarizes current HIVE state, which may include:
- membership status
- qualification period remaining
- direct network count
- broader network count
- Nectar balances
- recent HIVE activity
4. Qualification
HIVE qualification is driven by qualifying purchase activity under the current HIVE rules.
A qualifying set contributes tenure. The current reference rule is:
- 1 set = 4 qualified days
The lifecycle may progress through:
- Registered
- Qualified
- Disqualified
- Dormant
- Terminated
The screen should show the current state and relevant countdown where applicable.
5. My Network
My Network shows sponsorship/network relationships that HIVE has received from canonical PROFILE identity data.
Direct sponsored members may display approved information such as:
- name
- MID
- country
- status
The exact visible fields depend on current privacy and presentation rules.
6. Nectar
Nectar is the HIVE reward wallet. The direct sponsor reward is currently 9% on eligible directly attributed purchases.
Important points:
- Nectar can be tracked by enabled currency
- refunds can reverse Nectar
- a purchase paid with Nectar can still qualify where the governing rule permits
- historical conversion should use the appropriate PRODUCT valuation context
7. Referral
HIVE may display referral information but does not own referral identity.
PROFILE owns:
- primary referral link
- referral alias
- Sponsor MID
A valid referral purchase can reward the referrer without changing the buyer's fixed Sponsor relationship.
8. Activity
Activity is the member-readable history of important HIVE events, such as:
- Nectar earned
- Nectar reversed
- qualification changes
- new direct sponsorship activity
- redemption activity
9. Sponsor rules
HIVE does not provide ordinary member controls to appoint or replace a Sponsor.
If a member is sponsorless and governance allows first-time sponsor appointment, the request is handled through the approved PROFILE/Admin process.
10. Dormancy and termination
A member moving through Dormant or Terminated states may be subject to network and participation consequences under current governance. Members should review the status shown in Qualification and contact Admin if a lifecycle state appears incorrect.
11. Troubleshooting
A direct member is missing
Check that the sponsored member's canonical Sponsor MID was successfully recorded in PROFILE. HIVE consumes that relationship; it should not invent it.
Nectar did not appear
Confirm the purchase was eligible, successfully completed, and attributed to the correct sponsor/referrer under the governing rules.
HIVE opens outside PROFILE
Use PROFILE → HIVE for the canonical member presentation.
