I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1165 - An Update on HIVE Dividends and HP-Delegation Distribution, and Another SWAP.BLURT Pool Added - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, October 5, 2025

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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It is indeed looking like I'll pass the notable milestone of 14,000 Hive Power by the middle of this new week, which is pretty epic I must say. I'm also only 0.02 points away from achieving my year-end goal of 72 Reputation, waaayyy ahead of schedule. Nifty indeed.

Today I wanted to give a quick update on the upcoming HIVE distribution in the daily ALIVE dividends, the doubling of HIVE payouts to HP delegators, the snafu that we experienced which made us miss our October 1st launch date, and where we stand now. While @borniet has been able to get some important work on the payout scripts done, he's a super-busy bee, both on and off Hive, so we're not sure yet whether we'll be ready by the next HIVE payout to HP delegators on Wednesday. Definitely fingers crossed on that.

In terms of the funds to send, we received another HIVE payout from our delegation of 20,000+ BEE to @bee.voter, though we did receive fewer HIVE this time around. Added to that, as I mentioned previously, last week the payout script tried to send 15 HIVE as opposed to 10 HIVE to our HP delegators, so some received the increased HIVE payouts, while others received nothing. So we still have to do a catch-up round for the missed HP delegators, and at the same pay rate as the payments that were sent successfully. So between receiving fewer HIVE this week, and having to make up for missed payouts last week, the HP-delegation payouts will need to be more modest this week (they'll be at the regular payout rate of 5 HIVE total, if they succeed that is). If everything goes successfully, we'll hopefully be able to go back to double HIVE payouts to HP delegators next week. Again, fingers crossed.

Presently there are 12 HIVE (5+5+precision buffer, it's supposed to be 10+precision buffer) sitting on @aliveandsocial for payouts to HP delegators, and 24.5 HIVE (10+10+precision buffer) sitting on @aliveandthriving for distribution in the daily ALIVE dividends, so in terms of assets we're ready to go, we just need to wait for @borniet to finish with the payout scripts. All fingers and toes crossed.

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I finally accumulated enough liquid BLURT on Blurt to send another good chunk (1,100 BLURT) to Hive Engine, to add to a new SWAP.BLURT diesel/liquidity pool, this time SWAP.BLURT:SWAP.LTC, after swapping half of the SWAP.BLURT into SWAP.LTC. All of the SWAP.BLURT pools have excellent earned pool fees, in large part because they have quite high trading/swapping volumes. At the shreshold of 1,000 BLURT in liquidity, and if you register with ctime on Blurt, you'll receive daily upvotes on your Blurt posts in proportion to your liquidity in the SWAP.BLURT pools. So now I have useful and valuable assets growing in yet another pool, which is simply glorious.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, by a little after 2:15P, focusing first on photography for my posts. Once I had a nice batch of photos taken, I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area a bit. Once I had that done, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I got my machete and did some more extensive clearing in the front orchard. I called it a day when I got a fire ant bit and sting on my eye (ouch!)...lol! After clearing, I took a shower, headed to the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done quite late again, around 11:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed just before 12AM. I woke up just before 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 175th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 13,900 HP Surpassed, 14,000 HP and 72 Reputation This Week, and Assorted News, then to begin writing this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's a magnificent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

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

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) 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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
