Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, my friends, I'm happy to announce that Ben sent me the 1,000 BEE needed to create our new pool this morning, and with that and 100 BEE that we had sitting on @aliveandthriving, I just completed creating the ALIVE:HEARTBEAT pool, creating and activating a 365-day distribution contract for daily pool rewards, adding some ALIVE, ALIVEM, and HEARTBEAT to the pool rewards, and adding liquidity to it on @aliveandthriving, @heartbeatonhive, @heartbeatvault01, and on my own account. So our new pool is up and ready for all of you to add your liquidity!

I ran into a curious issue when I was trying to add the intitial liquidity into the pool via BeeSwap. For some reason, I guess since it was a brand-new pool, BeeSwap couldn't determine how much of each token to add into the pool. Thankfully I was able to do so on @heartbeatonhive via Tribaldex. Once I had that initial liquidity added, it allowed me to do some swapping on @aliveandthriving, @heartbeatvault01, and on my own account, to get them into the pool as well.

Just like the ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE and ALIVE:ALIVEM pools, I set the distribution contract for a year, with a 5% bonus applied to all 365 daily payouts, with the first payout to begin tomorrow, so I'd suggest getting your liquidity into the pool ASAP, especially with how low the pool liquidity is yet, because the first payouts will be quite nice indeed. The initial reward amounts are 2,000 ALIVE, 2,000 HEARTBEAT, and 5 ALIVEM, spread out over the next year, though that will be adjusted as we progress. While I was at it, I also added another 1,000 ALIVE to the pool rewards for our ALIVE:ALIVEM pool.

ALIVE is now a hub for our other two community tokens, ALIVEM and HEARTBEAT, to each other, as well as bridge for them to the rest of the Hive-Engine token ecosystem, via SWAP.HIVE, which is an excellent community economic dynamic. Now to build bridges to other significant pool networks.

The 'We Are Alive Tribe' Ecosystem continues to grow and expand, and at some point soon we'll be creating still more new ALIVE pools, to add greater use and value to our own token, and to the tokens that we choose as pairs. What would be the most mutually-beneficial, helpful, useful, and also stable-over-time connections to make? That's the question that's percolating in my mind as of late.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, a bit late, by just before 2:45PM, giving my time first to washing my bedding laundry by hand, since the washing machine refused to work (I later learned that there's a new trick with it), which took a fair amount of time. With that finally completed, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I troubleshot and resolved an internet connection issue, and I went banana hunting around the property, in search of harvestable bananas (I found one). With those completed, I made myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack and cheddar cheeses, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done quite early, by just before 9PM, and after some asset management, and fiddling on Qortal and X, I went to bed by just before 11PM. I woke up around 7:15AM, having slept reasonably well, doing more asset management, chatting with Ben about the new pool in Discord, going to make my superfood fire in the new kitchen, returning to the Flow House to create and set up our new pool, and then to write this post. It's now just before 1PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my numerous other Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, including my once-weekly thorough asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on a few small jungle-community tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update tomorrow morning, and the next iteration of these posts tomorrow afternoon! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
