I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1484 - Some Pool Management, and a Couple Interesting Possibilities for The We Are Alive Tribe - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, August 11, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I finally had enough SWAP.HIVE this morning, after waiting a fair while for it to replenish, to do another round of pool management on my own account. I tend to go weeks now between management sessions, mostly because my SWAP.HIVE income is still pretty modest again. Not long ago, I could do a round on 1-2 SWAP.HIVE. Now, however, I need to wait until I have around 10 SWAP.HIVE to do a round, since my income in various higher-value assets is currently notably higher.

I want to do another round of pool management on @aliveandthriving, @heartbeatonhive, and @heartbeatvault01, but the amount of SWAP.HIVE accumulating on those accounts is still quite small. To begin to resolve this issue, I finally decided to lease 1,500 staked BEE on @aliveandsocial to @centtoken, for payouts of about 0.3 SWAP.HIVE daily. Nope, it's not a lot, but it will still help move this pool-managing process along a bit more quickly.

Our staked BEE on @aliveandsocial has finally surpassed 20.5k, so this delegation will barely make a dent, and I intend to keep it that way, because I want to keep it growing. At least now I'll have a reasonable SWAP.HIVE income to manage the various pools where we have liquidity, which is a very good thing.

Two nifty possibilities have popped up for the We Are Alive over the past two days, one being the idea of creating a zombie game that uses our MMB-based tokens, ALIVE included, as in-game currencies. Credit for this idea goes to @savvyplayer and @savvytester. I think that this could be quite fun! We'll see how the zombie splatters!

The other bit of great news is that the We Are Alive Tribe's frontend, WeAreAliveTribe.com, is getting a very nice upgrade! If you'd like to check it out, you may do so here. In a very similar manner to how he did it for Bradley's updated BBH Project frontend, Bjorn (@borniet) has now created an improved iteration of our own community frontend, and self-hosted as well (thank you so much, brother!), which looks pretty sweet indeed. It will likely go live within a day or so. There's even a zombie-themed version of Asteroids in the Arcade section, which perhaps should be called Zombieoids. In any case, we've got a few new things in the works, and I'll make sure to let y'all know how it goes, and what's coming next!

Yesterday, Tuesday, 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 another round of clearing in the front orchard with my machete. Once I wrapped that up for the day, 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 scan my X feed a bit more, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by just before 10:45PM, and after another quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed by a bit after 11:30PM. I woke up a little before 7AM, having slept fairly well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to do some asset management, and to write this post. It's now just before 12:15PM, so it's a marvelous 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 some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

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!

Join the worldwide Satsman Army! It's by far the best, most fun, inspiring, and motivating way to earn Bitcoin/BTC!
