I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1434 - 20k HP Surpassed, Now to Focus on How to Strongly Boost My Daily SWAP. HIVE Income - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, June 22, 2026

4 hours ago

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, between the time that I published my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, and beginning to write this post, I blew past 20,000 Hive Power, right on schedule to when it was expected. It's very likely that I'll exceed 20,100 HP before the end of the week too, given how quickly my HP is currently growing. While it doesn't add much to my vote value, it does give me more HP that I can use to delegate.

With the increased HP, I delegated another 25 HP to @uni-coin, which brought it to 100 HP in total delegated to that account. I'll get it to the same amount that I have delegated to @pixydust, currently 400 HP, as soon as I'm able, before I begin to increase both of their delegations evenly.

Along with those two, there are several other HP delegations that I want to boost as well, which will happen over time. Right now the most pressing issue is for me to rebuild my daily SWAP.HIVE income, which took some major hits over the past few months. Now I just need to figure out exactly how to do that, as there aren't many good sources for daily payouts SWAP.HIVE left.

I was corrected by @anadolu with some information of which I was not aware, namely that although he will be ending the SWAP.HIVE-for-HP distribution on @centtoken, via HP leases on Hive Engine, he will continue with them on his own account. That helps a lot, and I'll very likely make use of that as soon as I have sufficient surplus HP to be able to accept a good-sized lease.

While there are a few other pools that provide reasonably-good daily SWAP.HIVE rewards, the best bang for the buck currently, and an old standby, is the DVS:DHEDGE pool. With that being the case, I intend to give a bit more focus to strongly increasing my liquidity in that pool. I have to do so somewhat slowly, however, since the DVS:SWAP.HIVE pool doesn't have a lot of liquidity, so I can't swap too much SWAP.HIVE for DVS at any one time. I'm presently at the #8 spot in the DVS:DHEDGE pool, with 4.33% of the total liquidity, with my intention being to get to the very top. Although this won't provide a huge amount of SWAP.HIVE daily, it will very much help.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to a few jungle-community/land work and tasks, including chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and collecting a handful of medicinal plants from my nursery to deliver down at Melekai's new garden area, for future planting. With those completed, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, before getting my machete to do some clearing work between the shop and Wabisabi. Unfortunately, I inadvertently hit a PVC water pipe that drains off the shop roof into our water tanks, causing a fountain of water to be sprayed all over the place. I was thankfully able to repair the break fairly quickly, without any issues. With the pipe finally repaired, I moved on to clearing some more along the second driveway. Once I cleared another good bit, I took a shower, made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hands I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all my notifications by just after 9PM again, and after some more research into llama.cpp-fork build and run flags, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed by just after 11PM. I woke up just before 8AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, and to begin writing this post. It's now just after 12:45PM, so it's quite a good 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 on some photography for my posts first, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
