PowerUp Day 💪 Delegation Giveaway


🚨🧨💥 Engagement is Required ❗❗

---

That's right... We have reached the Midway point (very good movie by the way). And I know many of you might be having a hard time looking at how crypto is at the moment, including the Hive situation. But, the way I see these times, accounting for how many times in the past I have already seen this, been in it, and come out of it, I would say, this is darn exciting.

Why? Well, in the past, all these transitions involved either me being the only one, alone, or being completely scammed by those in control, when I didn't yet have the skills to understand. Today? A different story... and I am not saying I can't be scammed, there will always be a chance... but it will be harder than before. And this is normal because of how and what we learn around this journey.

The reason I find this exciting is that we are testing a limit that I could never test before, along with more people... because everyone would just disappear. But the difference is that now there are more people with skills that are not just scammers. There are REAL people! And that matters a lot for how the crypto will evolve.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that with prices like this, it is very hard to do anything for Hive. But this is why I find it so exciting, because with the new AI thing, with the decentralisation of our community and the fact that people have different values across the globe, there will be adjustments to how value was initially distributed. And this is the key element I could never really live in the past of my crypto experience, because I either blew it up, or was blown away by someone.

I keep the same motto, learn, have fun, and then teach the next one if you can. You teaching the next one is probably the most important part of your work and value, especially on Hive. The more others learn how to live within these communities that don't just live for the pump/dump thing (because that's 95% of all existed cryptos, if not more, unfortunately), the more the Hive community will benefit from the long term goal.

I am here and will be here, no matter what happens to Hive. That's my legacy. And next year it will be a decade to celebrate. Hopefully, in a @hivefest wherever that will be.

I haven't been doing much on this side, because as I have always demonstrated, I did not create this to win money, it was merely as a tool to help me control what I can say to you as a user. Because if it were something from someone else, who eventually decides to leave and abandon things, I would have to adapt things on my side, and that was not going to please me much. Hence, ATX was born.

Also, I have learned lots while exercising through it, and even today, I learn a thing or two.

Having that said, I have some materials I still need to adapt about pools. These will be edited with my NEW preferred ones I found and have been curating. Those are (without any order of preference and because I chose two in order to have backups in the content I write into the future):

And, did you notice why I have added the part where you see which node I have selected for the data that gets fetched from those front ends? Yep, that was on purpose... why is this so important to me (and it should also be to you)?

Because of decentralisation! I run my own nodes, and I want to depend on no one... and that's how it should always be! Remember, people in Venezuela were being blocked from accessing X? And now it had to be a tragedy for them to do some "probably" shady business behind the scenes to allow X to be used now, in order to raise awareness and help the citizens communicate with each other on the media to find their dear ones?

It's all about money! Otherwise, they (X) would not have been blocked in the first place.

So, I would also like to thank these two gentlemen for their appreciated digestion of my feedback and moulding their own projects with some of my input. Giving you 1% beneficiary just as a vocal gesture of recognising the work you do.

And PEOPLE! Recall to always provide feedback when you see things that can be improved. Constructively and with an objective that will raise value not just for you (because you like it) but also for the rest of the community. If we all do this, then everything around us rises in value and reason to exist.

Two last things on the ATX thing before I change topics. A friendly reminder that the distribution happening on the SWAP.HIVE:ATX pool, will have an injection of 5 Million ATX as planned around the end of August, when the 4th year of this distribution starts.

And also remind yourself that if you participate in this post-enabled giveaway, keep some ATX to stake by the end of this year 2026, because afterwards it will be required for you to enjoy the large Hive Power delegation, in case you win one in this event.

Example, if you win 1001 HP delegation, you need to have at least 1001 ATX staked (staked ATX does not offer any other rewards at the moment).

My preferred section, and probably to many of you who read my posts.

MydEmpire

The game keeps updating faster than I can consume... but that's the nature of today's life!

Besides the newly announced Goods from factories, I think I have already mentioned somewhere else that there will also be an Empire Share Market.

And keep voting AND NAMING new factories with those funny names... 🤣

Note that you can visit other players' empires to "Spy" on what they are doing, and adjust your strategy towards events or long-term game goals you might have.

Again, if you want to contribute with some feedback, either do it on-chain and tag @mydempire or via Discord listed on the game webpage. If you want to tag me for my opinion, then tag @forkyishere please.

He did it again! Hive Grouve

Este grande bacano @shiftrox have done a new game announced here, called the Hive Grouve.

I am obviously playing it and providing feedback. And I think this one deserves a bit of sharing and showing off, because I think it has great potential for "viralizing" the theme... which in my view is of meeting new people on Hive, some of them not necessarily people you chat with every day, but it can also go that way.

So, if you happen to step through this post, and you don't yet know @forkyishere 😱🤯🤦‍♂️ (it can happen LOL), feel free to remind me that you exist, either by tagging @forkyishere somewhere or going to my garden to water my plants like this Rising Star Plant did, called @atomcollector!

Side note, I am eager once the new re-write of the game finishes about the @risingstargame 😍

I still want to get to 1 million fans! 💖

Back to HiveGrouve, you can find what your immediate or "closer" network is... by scanning your latest interactions on Hive. You can even see what you did in order for that scan to consider that account on your network by selecting that account!

I have already provided some ideas to @shiftrox around this "social" part... so, eager to see what meal he's going to cook with that. 🫠

You also have the shop, where you can purchase land expansions and plant like Mad Mike shreds tyres. Enjoy the game and support your friends!

If you water my plants, provide me with some beAUtifuL words prettyyy please! You are the reason I like this community. This includes sarcasm, hate, threats, whatever you want! LOLOL by the way, it does not yet get recorded on the chain via the transaction memo 🤣🫡😎 - but it could! LOL - suggestion, add a checkbox to add the message to an encrypted memo, and then it becomes visible to only those who received the message (@hive-grove can validate by being the sender).

Next... BIG BOMB!

TerraCore (never left) is back! 😎

It's more me, I am back baby, attacking your juicy ass! 🤣 full of SCRAP! 🤣

A bunch of Monkeys attacked in this attack, and then you need to recall that you need to claim the SCRAP before someone attacks you (you have 60 seconds). Then you can improve your power, swap, sell or add to the liquidity pool!

I had to pause this post writing, and go finish my attacks, again... on your asses! 😎

Now done... NEXT!!!

dCrops 🌱 - Because @dcrops never gave up!

Nor will I...

And I don't even consider myself a whale! 🐳 - not in the top 10... But 15th place is quite nice.

It accumulates if you play games for a while...

But what I enjoy is cooking!

Enjoy the games you play. Otherwise, don't play them... simple as that. I like playing this one, and I am still far away from having all the cooking stuff. For now, it has been a slow progression, just like I enjoy.

NNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXTTTTTTTTTTTTT 🤦‍♂️🤣

I promise I am almost done, and if you read it until here, DARN TAG/REPLY to me! I need to know...

Scrobble Games!

I know, I know... not really the section of a game for the type of app, but they are effectively games. Some of which I suck at... including this one that the other day I did give it a try...

This particular one, you need to have done at least 1000 scrobbles in order to play it... only a few of us have reached it. There is no monetary cost to achieving this. Well, not in terms of sending fiat or crypto anywhere... but there is time! And this might tell you I have lots of time? right? NOP... 🤦‍♂️🤣 This is just "organisation"... and not having time for many other things.

I am not going to tag acid on purpose 😉 (this is mostly to help his project that I enjoy, not to get his attention). But I am going to ask @saydie if he/she listens to music while playing Splinterlands? I do a lot of stuff at the same time (and probably that's why I fail to finish some), but it's music that really helps keep the momentum. Also a form of relaxation... obviously.

Anyway, try to install the scrobble extension and if you want, share with your audience what you listen to, see and sometimes play! If you have issues, happy to help.

Right... final mention 😮‍💨🥵😵💪 Extra mile today...

Syndicate

And please be aware that I found this one only this last week, and I am still exploring.

But so far, I have been enjoying it, and this one is not some 30-second game kind of thing, so you do really need to spend time appreciating it in order to have a feel for what it entails. And I want to learn all these ideas that everyone has in order to learn and provide my feedback.

I might have a more informed opinion next month, but I still decided to provide a couple of points here to @affliction.

First, the UI is looking really good. The theme of "Syndicate" really applies. It's slick and has been working flawlessly so far. The Guide helped lots, and I already mentioned to you that I think it should even be active for a longer period of time, always with the option to skip it if at some point the player picks it up.

I have enjoyed the arena mode, and would even add more quick "strategy" decisions during the battles, because that's the kind of thing that, in my opinion, keeps players trying to "get it".

Also like the collectible part of it, where you can't just buy all items and be the best... you will have to work out in order to be the best. I have some ideas for this part... unsure if you thought about buffs based on reputational "strategy" where people can get collectibles based on their type of attacks and sort of things... making someone strategy different depending on what proficiency they want to go for (kind of thing).

I will keep playing for a few more days before I get back to you with more. Especially when you deploy the tokens. Thanks for pinging me on this.

I can't obviously do EVERYTHING or provide feedback to everyone at the same time, and I am sure I am missing people on every post. But that's what I can do. I will do what I can. It will not change who I am...

And this post is already a HUGE stretch of what I commonly reserve to write about. Either way, it's because I enjoy documenting, not because I have to (or crave being paid for).

Arrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I am so close to finishing this one off... the emotions, the feelings... 🤣🤦‍♂️🤤 - I think this is mostly hunger... and the nice smells wife is liberating.

Today, the game of Portugal 0 - 0 Colombia was super mega interesting. I wish I could have been there. If anyone here in the US has watched the game live, please give me a shout! Just want to FOMO you even more... Because I know when they are good, it's a very awesome spectacle to watch.

#F1 was the same thing, with all the very tinny track, things in Austria get very interesting always. But I am not yet sure if I am going to watch at 1 AM... depends on how tired I am going to be in a few hours.

This weekend was full of "can't go anywhere", so I did some work behind the scenes, spent some time with the kids, and enjoyed Mother Nature!

https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=forkyishere/evfiqbod

And to give you some perspective of what it looks like on a great day... here is some!

If you use FirstContext to curate and signal this, please spend time doing it. And be objective about why you are doing it... I haven't been too much on that side, but I have some come back to it. Not enough time to do all the things I enjoy doing.

But my inbox keeps reminding me of what things I should check out (because of the creators I follow), so just on that, it works! Now it needs you to explain to a non-crypto person, why it matters... and for that, I will leave it for discussion here... (as I know the answer already)
