Well, that escalated beautifully.
This past Wednesday evening, I had the absolute privilege (yes, I said it — privilege, not punishment) of being the guest on Hive Humpday Hangout Ep.44. Hosted by none other than the legend himself, @ph1102, this live session turned into something between a podcast, a group therapy session for nerds and more, and a brainstorming sesh that might just change the trajectory of Hive.
Spoiler: I LOVED it.
Let’s be real — usually, I’m the guy behind the curtain making bots dance and keeping systems humming. But this time, the mic was on me. And honestly? It felt damn good.
We dived into how I stumbled into the crypto world, why Hive sucked me in (in a good way), and what got me geeked out about tipping bots. Yes, those cute little minions that sprinkle value all over the blockchain like confetti.
And hey — they even grilled me about that awkward “bot comment” era. Remember that phase? Yikes. Let’s just say: lessons were learned, and spam is for canned meats, not comment sections. We're working with a weekly summary post via @mmbbot now!
Let’s talk shop.
I got to showcase a few of my favorite creations — bots, tools, and scripts that I’ve built not because someone paid me, but because someone should’ve. You can check out:
If these tools help even one person navigate Hive better, then guess what? Mission accomplished. But I’m not stopping there.
This wasn’t just a chat. Somewhere in between @godfish’s existential questions and @jza’s “Proof-of-Human” explanation, a real new idea was born. And I’m not even going to tease it too much because — plot twist — I’ve already start working it.
That’s right. New tool. New purpose. Same caffeine-fueled development chaos.
Just saying… watch this space.
Huge shoutout to @ph1102 for the invite. Man, this session had been on the books for a while, and I’m so glad we finally made it happen. To the entire audience — all 24 of you legendary Hivians — THANK YOU. Your attention is worth more than HBD (and that’s saying something these days).
Special props to everyone who asked questions, chimed in, or just lurked silently with popcorn. You made this not just a livestream, but a movement. Okay, maybe not a movement, but definitely a solid vibe.
If you’ve got ideas, suggestions, questions, or just want to tell me one of my bots broke your interface (again), my channels of communication are open. I’m building with and for the community, and your feedback fuels the fire.
Until next time, stay weird, stay decentralized, and keep growing!

What a brainstorming, huh? :)) If you need any help, feel free to reach out to me. I gave it a couple of more thoughts and have some ideas on that topic. Perhaps we can have a short call, maybe inviting some other people interested in the idea :)
That all sounds like a great plan! I tried to connect on discord, but seems you have it a bit locked. Feel free to add me to continue the idea-flow ;-)
