(this is the #41 giveaway enabled post - check the giveaway details below)
Apologies everyone, and admitting upfront, the quality of this post does not have the value I wanted to provide (and also very low on pictures, something I really enjoy providing), but I had to release the pool, so this one is going to be a short content one. Contributing also 90% is the fact that I've been completely drained for a couple of weeks now. And, almost decided to NOT do this one, but then invoked all my efforts to bring this a non-stop, continuous moment.
Blockchain is evolving hugely, and for the younger (or least experienced) ones, please do try to reach out first before committing. You know you can test stuff first!
I am really craving for this HIVEFEST-VACATION! ๐๐๐๐
Been a fricking 2 years of IRLW for me. I have changed most of my daily activities, because now I am responsible for supporting a team of people I really enjoy. Similar to how I do here on #hive.
And this year... things might change even further. And the number of people I need to address might increase. But that's ok. I am preparing myself for that moment every day.
Anyway, enough of my IRL...
If you are coming to @hivefest I hope to meet you there. I am very approachable, so don't hesitate to say "Olรก" (Hello in Portuguese).
I have been attacked for more than a decade now... and I can tell you, the more you get known, the more it looks like you get attacked (at least from the perception wise). And I think it's just increasing every day.
If you have hive accounts that hold a lot of money, then be sure you have the right people as a backup account. Check with them regularly. Implement several ways of recovering them. TEST the process regularly (at least 2 times a year)!
Ideally, have a secondary split account where you trust another group of people, or, for the most advanced people, have a multi-sig option for controlling this kind of problem.
The world is becoming more and more weird, and safe paradises are getting rarer and rarer!
Don't forget that now you will need an equivalent amount of shares on the ATX:SWAP.HIVE pool in order to get the ATX from the total NFTs you have, when participating in these giveaways.
These changes are written on the PowerUp Delegation Givaway Rules. Over "Important Changes", and in this particular one, over item 2.
2 - Until 26/07/2025 the number of ATX tokens distributed to any eligible participant would be a direct count of the number of ATX NFTs held by that participant (+1 or +2 more ATX from the old model of the PowerUp Shard NFT). After this date, such rules don't apply anymore, and instead, these will:
2.1 - A minimum of 1 ATX token is always distributed as long as the participant is eligible.
2.2 - The number of ATX NFTs a participant holds on the giveaway date counts as the maximum ATX tokens possible for a participant to receive.
2.3 - Users will need to hold shares within the ATX:SWAP.HIVE pool in order to receive up to the maximum defined in 2.2. One Share equals to one ATX token. So, if you are entitled to a maximum of 10 ATX tokens, you need 10 Shares on the pool to receive them all. For example, if in this case you would hold only 5 Shares instead, you will only receive 5 ATX tokens. If you hold less than 1 share, you will always receive 1 ATX token (given you are eligible)
Plus, you should be expecting by the end of August the new (3rd year) distribution to come into the rewards pool of the same ATX:SWAP.HIVE pool.
There will be more changes this year. These changes are meant to keep stuff in its happy places, while driving enough curiosity in everyone to learn a bit here and there.
And this one was something I had to think for a long time... not because I doubt it, but because of the other things I have as priority (and you will understand later thowards the next year).
ATX:CENT's
Anyhow, always wanted to create this one because the CENT token has a huge amount of ability to empower you to move tokens around. Just check how many pools exist connecting CENT and other tokens!!!
Yeah... volume volume volume! With ATX this is the 12th Pool for CENT token.
Note: I have pre'talked this with @anadolu, as I want to be transparent with the stuff I do...
I have done a big push on @dcrops, and I am going to keep working my ass off there.
But before I go nuts again and show you it's been a working-in-progress thing... let me show off!
I have been telling myself, this is a "long term game!" ... and it looks like it is!
So lately I have been trying to convince some people that don't have the time... to not go away...
For that kind of initiative, I have started something called the dCropWay on @forkyishere last posts. And with that, the intention was for people to discover a bit more of the game and win some stuff.
I confess I need to rework the thing, so expect some modifications once I get some time.
I now have more BEER inside the ATX:BEER pool, then staked BEER.
I have also distributed another round of 120 ATX into the @beersat account for another 6 months of pure BEER sharing pleasure.
If you haven't tried the https://altera.vsc.eco amazing place, the @vsc.network is bringing that amazing place you will forever recall in the future (hopefully), SO please DO! As usual, any questions below, I would encourage you. I don't bite... I love people wanting to learn.
Have fun, play games, learn, and when possible, teach new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting this place can be.
@forkyishere ๐ (@forykw dark side) is a character I created, which emerged from Crimsonclad imagination ๐ while dwelling over the dark dungeons of Discord chat levels.
Follow for #news about the #HIVE #Blockchain, and other stuff. I sometimes get crazy with what happens around social media. I am following all HIVE users! No promises of behaviour. ๐
In addition, if you are looking for a nice place to either reach out, share or just have a great time, come along to @atexoras.pub and say hello (tag @forykw or @forkyishere). We welcome everyone on the blockchain.
Any feedback/problems, feel free to contact me! My stuff is being monitored via UpTimeRobot where you can find their current status or just come along to the ATX Discord server.

ATX and Cent! Nice work. 12 other pools you have been busy. I will have to check them all out. You might have to add a weward section your report. Our little group is starter to grow.
!LOL
!PIZZA
!ALIVE
They have 12 other pools are from the CENT community, not me. I wish I could! 11000 BEE along just for those (I paid this one myself).
Indeed, let's see if I can show off a bit on the next post. These last weeks have been a bit too much so, no time for anything. But you are right, the groups seems very active, and everyone there is helping me keep moving too. So well done.
Also, once you are able to withdraw (at your rate, you might reach the limit faster than I), tag me if you make any posts.
You image there is perfect too, people scrolling through will start seeing the logo and that's a form of marketing in a way. Thanks for the help on this.
ATX cents & PowerUp in '25! ๐ช Good luck to everyone in giveaway #41, hope it brings some gems! ๐๐ด
Usually, does bring 5 of them every time. But they can be as big as people want.
Although I need to produce some more gamification. Lacking in NFTs, perhaps.
I didn't know CENT was paired with so many other tokens: that's a nice usecase!
About the VSC Network, I've seen that they are making some nice progress and I can't wait to have that layer 2 fully working and usable.

!PIMP
Already works from HIVE to VSC and from VSC to EVM (and for HIVE/HBD and the Lightning Network, I believe). Now, all it needs is the contracts to be established (aka created) in order to support more cryptos, but basically, the bridging technology is implemented and live.
We might need some fine-tuning here and there, but we are pretty much free for all. Anyone can deploy if they want.
One thing that I didn't get, though, is how to link an EVM address to a Hive address: because right now I can log in with both, but not simultaneously, so if I want to send some HIVE from my Hive account to my EVM wallet I have to:
It would be nice to have both wallet legged in at the same time, or at least linked, so it would be easier to go from Hive to somewhere else (and viceversa) through the VSC Network.
And another thing I'd like to see explained are swap fees: right now swapping BTC for HIVE has a flat 3.5% fee, which seems quite high. Is this going to be the standard fee for every swap? I hope not, tbh!
!PIZZA
Absolutely amazing to see ATX and CENT pool. I'll be adding to that right away!
You have a lot in the ATX:BEER pool. I have a bit but nowhere near as much as you ๐
I need to be doing some more in vsc. Not quite sure I have a full feeling of how to use it yet. Like, if you log in with Hive, will you get a set of evm addresses, can you import an existing wallet somehow or is it something completely different that will happen? I have only tried logging in to vsc with an email compatible wallet via wallet connect
BEER! :P very cheap commodity :D - and if one day @detlev manages to make a "free BEER service" (aka you get a free BEER voucher every year if you stake X amount of BEER) like the one I heard on HiveFest last year, damn... I would be hyped about that kind of project... and would definitely participate.
So, yeah, bulking on BEER in case he ever decides to make that happen.
Note: This is just me messing around (no such thing has been announced by him to my knowledge), but it would indeed be a crazy project I would love to support. And in fact, if I recall correctly, someone in the past was trying this at least locally, right @rollie1212?, and I loved @cryptobrewmaster game.
You log with an EVM address if you want to send stuff from that EVM address that you have on VSC. But because most people will have nothing (for now, because there is only lightning implemented I think and HIVE/HBD, unless that EVM account has anything of those, you will not see anything there).
But eventually the system will support more tokens and you will be able to send them over.
What you can do now, is transfer from your hive account into VSC and then from your hive account at VSC, to EVM VSC.
And you will need HBD liquid in order to recharge the EVM VSC account.
Stay tuned, I will keep showing off now and then, too. Otherwise visit the project Discord if you want to discover more on your own.
I was in the cent pool for a year or 2 until I withdrew from it. I will check out ATX CENT now that you've mentioned it!
Yeah, CENT token at this stage is not comparable with what it was at the beginning. I am just kind of using the use case they created by pairing indirectly with more tokens through CENT token.

Is backing your hive account as much of an issue if your do not leave your computer on all the time ?
Independent of that, I would say. As long as you have two devices at all times, it should be more than ok. The important bit is to have the recovery account set to someone who can definitely help you in case you either get hacked or lose all your keys.
And usually your owner key is not on Hive keychain, so you need to store that one at least securely somewhere.
Alternatively, you can put them on a USB pen (password-encrypted) and store that in a safe place, just in case.
