I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The 1.477 SWAP.LTC that I received in my Hive-Engine wallet Saturday night, that came from $100 cash that I had given to my crypto-enthusiast jungle neighbor, Jyoti, who in return sent me LTC, has been successfully sold and invested into BXT and DRIP, two of my favorite income tokens. Since my assets arrived in my wallet, I've been watching the prices of SWAP.LTC for for a bit, waiting for them to go a little higher before selling. I put in a sell order last night that successfully went through, giving me a little over 492 SWAP.HIVE.

While I could certainly have done another round of trading to get it to an even 500, I opted instead to sell some of the SWAP.BTC that I've been accumulating, just enough to make up the difference. When done, I had a bit over 501 SWAP.HIVE that I then used to buy 179.594 BXT and 144.826 DRIP, which were then sent to this account (from my @tydyn.rain account) to stake.

Polish_20220714_121631044.jpg

With the new BXT and DRIP staked on this account, I now have a total of 829.742 BXT and 222.317 DRIP (in addition to the 2,164.357 DRIP staked on @tydyn.rain). This first successful fiat-dollar investment into Hive will give me a very nice bump in my daily HIVE and SWAP.HIVE income. While I will be investing in other good income tokens soonish, for the moment my main focus is on growing my holdings of BXT and DRIP, which are both very high-performing, consistent, dependable, and reliable income tokens.

As I've mentioned, the HIVE will go mostly to powering up on HPUDs, with some later going into HBD to put into Savings. The SWAP.HIVE will give me more needed liquidity for daily operations like adding assets to various diesel/liquidity pools, buying more income tokens, and also re-adding liquidity to my Hive-Engine trading fund. All of these will help boost my Hive growth ever-more strongly. Hive is a personal Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) business for me, that I am unwaveringly and tenaciously committed and determined to building and growing as much and as quickly as I'm able. Faster and faster I grow, on my walward-ho quest I go!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished my Hive tasks, around 1:30PM, focusing first, as is often the case, on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). When kefir was done, I had hoped for sunny conditions to take more photos for this post, to take some photos for my Reflection Hunters Contest entry, and to go for a walk down our jungle road. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, being gray and overcast by clouds through most of the later portion of day. As such I only took a few post photos, and it took quite a lot of effort and experimentation to be able to get good shots for the Reflection Hunters Contest. I also didn't go on my jungle-road walk, sadly. All good, I just flow the best I can with what comes. After finally getting some usable photos for the contest, I returned to the Flow House to write and publish My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 176 - Jamaican Lirikoi Reflections post. When that post was done, I emptied the overflowing coco-bar wheelbarrow, collected my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on notifications. Oh the notifications. So. Many. Notifications. Because there were so many, I was not able go get fully caught up before I had to make myself go to bed just after 12:30AM, getting to within 3 hours of being fully up to date. Thankfully I slept reasonably well, waking up around 8AM, doing a round of token management, selling some SWAP.BTC, swapping the SWAP.HIVE for BXT and DRIP, sending them to this account, staking them, then writing and publishing My 111th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 2/3 Weekly Goals Achieved, 7,200 HP Surpassed, and First Fiat Investment Completed! post, and finally getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee just before 10:30AM.

It's now just after 12:45PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first make some food for Iolanthe (she texted me a short while ago), strain out and blend kefir, maybe take a few more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

I think it would likely be helpful. How why did some bots keep working, and others broke? That's the question! I watch various log outputs often, as I find it fascinating, and somehow soothing and relaxing...when things are working, that is! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yup! I definitely find it soothing to watch when things are running smoothly, and I often have some terminal windows open with tailing logs.
However, when things go south… well… 😂
Why some are broken and some not? It depends on how you access the blockchain. Many are using the Beem python library, which was last updated like 4yrs ago, and can be considered no longer being maintained. That means eventually it will break, and so it did😱 and many of the tools using it, with it.

Haha...I have a terminal windows appear on boot, and I always keep it open with multiple tabs. I've been too occupied with Hive lately to do much interesting on my computer, though!

Ah, OK, so many of the broken ones are using Beem? I didn't know it hasn't been updated in so long...yeah, it certainly seems dead, which is ashame. What's the replacement? 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Not sure if Beem is also the cause for the others, but I do know that it was rather pretty widely used.
I’m now looking into straight calls to the blockchain. No libs.
