I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1503 - Hermes Has Automated 2 of my Daily WAAT Asset-Management Tasks! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, August 30, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Although giving my Hermes agent a walkthrough of my daily and weekly asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe didn't go according to plan, and it definitely took longer than I'd hoped, I'm happy to say that after some dry-rest runs, that Hermes successfully automated two of the asset-management tasks that I do for the We Are Alive Tribe multiple times per day! I've made huge progress working with Hermes since I began making use of very-capable cloud-based models like GLM5.3-Flash and Kimi-K3 at the end of the week before last.

Currently there are two cron jobs (Hermes' spin on Linux cron jobs) to collect incoming HIVE on multiple WAAT accounts (one fires at 12:30PM and the other at 2:15PM), and send it to @aliveandthriving to power up and delegate it to Bradley (@bradleyarrow). There's another cron job that runs every 6 hours that collects incoming HSBIDAO on @youarealive and sends it to @aliveandthriving. The workflows for all of those are verified to work correctly, which is pretty awesome.

Now that my daily WAAT asset-management tasks are automated, next on the list to integrate are the weekly layer-2 token transfers made from @aliveandthriving to various accounts for service payments and contests. Hopefully I'll be able to get those set up later in the week. Once those are automated, the only other main asset-management task to integrate is adding liquidity to assorted pools. It was only at the end of the week before last that Hermes first successfully connected to the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, and now it's already begun to automate some of my recurring community tasks. I've come a very long way in a very short frame of time thanks to Hermes and capable models.

On a slightly different asset-management front, the 22+ HBD that disappeared two weeks ago on @heartbeatonhive when I tried to swap it for an equivalent amount of SWAP.BTC was finally refunded by the Hive-Engine team today, as SWAP.HBD. That SWAP.HBD has now been successfully swapped for SWAP.BTC, for Ben to decide what he'd like to do with it.

I also finally did a round of more-thorough asset and pool-management on my own account, and on @aliveandthriving, last night, both of which had 11+ SWAP.HIVE with which to work. That seems to be the minimum viable amount of SWAP.HIVE that needs to accrue before I do a round. It's still often not enough, but I make due by swapping certain tokens for SWAP.HIVE. At some point Hermes will be assisting me with these more-detailed and nuanced asset-management tasks as well, after some clear step-by-step training. I'm constantly blown away by what I can do with Hermes, and we're just getting started!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing some of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and working with Hermes Hermes on asset-management automation, by around 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. It was a lovely sunny day, so I got lots of wonderful shots. After photography, I went to assist Braja with a few small tasks at her place. With that done, I walked around a bit more, enjoying the sunshine, and of course taking more photos, before going to make myself some food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge in Wabisabi, then heading back to the Flow House to do bit more work with Hermes, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by around 9PM, and after another good round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by about 11:45PM. 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 this post (and work with Hermes some more). It's now just before 2PM, 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 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 my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update as soon as I'm able to do it, and the next manifestation 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!

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