I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1373 - 19k HP Surpassed, The Impassioned Satsman Mission, and Ongoing Agentic-AI Explorations - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, May 1, 2026

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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, right on schedule to when I was expecting it, and just a short while after my nice HPUD powerup, I crossed the notable threshold of 19,000 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, and with today being Saturday, that means that I'll easily surpass 19,100 HP before the end of this coming week. I'll likely reach 20,000 HP by some time next month. Achieving 25,000 HP by the end of the year is looking increasingly feasible, especially with how quickly the rate of my HP growth is accelerating.

On a slightly-different digital-asset topic, I wanted to mention Satsman: The Sats Awakenkng again, as the more I've learned about it, and the more engaged and involved that I become with it, the more I've really come to like and appreciate it. Satsman is not simply your run-of-the-mill Bitcoin/BTC faucet, but rather an impassioned mission, designed to both educate, inspire, and motivate people around the world about sound money, financial sovereignty, and Bitcoin, as well as to reward them for their efforts with a constantly-increasing quantity of sats (the smallest unit of Bitcoin). By doing the daily missions, it's very to earn enough sats to upgrade to a Pro membership, which I've already done, and which strongly increases the amount of sats earned from the missions.

I've worked with various faucet sites for years, and Satsman is a completely different animal entirely, because it's based around education and self-empowerment, and it makes it possible for people to earn a good bit of Bitcoin every day, so it's directly assisting their financial sovereignty. I've already earned a respectable number of sats up to this point, and I haven't even recruited anyone yet, which is something that also increases the amount of sats earned daily. If you feel inspired to explore an engaging and fun way to earn Bitcoin, and one that has been verified to be directly receivable on Hive via V4V, then I strongly suggest that you use my referral link above, and give it a try. I think that you'll like what you discover.

On the subject of my ongoing agentic-AI research, exploration, and experimentation, that is going on three weeks now, I'll just say that I've discovered some incredible things, I've learned a massive amount in a quite-short period of time, I've had notable setbacks and failures, as well as some exciting successes. The setbacks and failures have made me reassess my AI-agent goals, and how to realize them in practical terms. I'm learning how to put together a whole collaborative, self-correcting and self-learning, hierarchical multi-agent system, so I need to learn the different possible components, and their options, very well.

Given that implementing my collaborative multi-agent system making use of various existing frameworks, at least with my present level of understanding, and also my atypical OS setup, has not at all gone smoothly. Downloading and running AI models, and I've tried a few already, is very easy, and it can be accomplished in multiple different ways. The next important step is to figure out how implement tool calling and use for the AI models that I'm testing, so that they'd be able to search and edit files in my Arch/Artix Linux systems, and to be able to do web searches and subsequent information synthesis. If I can hook up those two pieces of functionality, then I intend to use a good coding model to directly assist me in troubleshooting and getting present tools and frameworks, like Swarms-ClawSwarm, functioning correctly with my system setup, or even to build my own iteration of a collaborative multi-agent system. That's the goal, and I know that it's possible, so we'll see how it goes.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and after more agentic-AI research, quite late, by around 3:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and to a few small jungle-community tasks. I finally headed back to the Flow House in the early evening, after making myself some food in Wabisabi, collecting my jar of leftover suprrfood fire coffee from the fridge, and turning on the generator, to do a bit more AI resarch, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all my notifications by just about 10PM, and after some asset management, and more agentic-AI research, I went to bed by about 12:30AM. I woke up by about 6:30AM, having slept reasonably well, doing more AI research, going to make my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to do even more agentic-AI research, and then to write this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's version of these posts! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

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!
