Happy new year guys!
Wishing you, dear reader of this blogpost- fellow Hivean, a
great new year,
Let's hope we all stick together and not end up in more
useless games of thrones through tanks, drones, rockets and
bombers.
As our house is finally in the finishing phases (expecting
rough delivery end of Q / beginning Q2) ľm getting more
time for important stuff and start funnelling way more
energy into Hive. Considering advising / helping out with
projects, as I learned from housebuilding that a team gets so
much more done than a lone wolf. Our house will be fed with)
a double redundancy internet connection with 5GB so I am
seriously considering hosting a witness/seed cluster / backup
in the basement, ofcourse partly powered by solar energy :)
I know I might have been more "away" from the chain.
Seriously more than I liked. The house building was fun at
first. Fun at second. But now I just want it over and done
with. Having it kept me busy for about 1 to 2 years of my
life. Currently we are doing the last plastering rounds and
kitchen will be installed end of february, finally! We are
already moving sooner and "camp out" in the new build. Still
lots of work, like programming the lights, and installing
server cabinets, finishing bathrooms etcetera, but the end is
nigh :) That said, I have always been keeping my witness server
cluster up and running, updating and maintenance, with only
a couple of missed blocks in the meantime. I did lower the
HBD interest a bit down to more realistic figures the other
day.
Some people said: are you leaving Hive? But imho it is
impossible. For me at least. When being invested with time
and dedication, for now, almost 9 years already 0), making
many apps, launching a Hive chain based soda drink and
witnessing some blocks, organising 9 (8) HiveFest events
and a humbling work I am pretty proud off (in hindsight):
designing the Hive logo.
It is so immensely humbling to see that end up on t-shirts
across the world, boreholes in Ghana, on rally cars and
exchanges across our blockchain world. Especially because
I still consider myself an average designer at best :) Here
is the story sbout it btw: (Hello Hive), First Post: Hive -
becoming of the brand
Hive is part of my identity. giving me meaning in my life.
Looking forward to breathe more blocks!
Have a great year ahead and see you!
