Regarding Hive Blocks

You can type in your username on Hive Blocks and look at how much you have, your stats, and come back every once in a while to monitor how the numbers may change.

How do we decentralized the Internet?

04:31 PM - Discord

Are you familiar with Internet projects out there? There is one called Substratum. Another one is called ummm, I forget. I would need to look them up. There was one relating to finding ways around DNS. And on top of that, there are things like TOR, VPN, proxies. I'm mostly talking software related, etc. I guess you were more likely talking more physical infrastructure as in actual fiber optics cables, lines, giant Internet server farms, computers, systems, the hardware in an ongoing attempt to have alternative backdoors and Internet routes to get around centralized Internet highways which are generally controlled or pressured or manipulated or governed by like tech giants who may have control over 80% of the global infrastructure, servers, cables, satellites, networks, etc. I agree monopolies control a lot of it and it is tough to compete and yet we can always try and the good news is people are trying.

I would favor having IPFS or Bit-Torrent flavored blockchain systems which rewards people via cryptocurrencies for seeding, hosting, like you said, letting people rent out resources be it processing resources (CPU, RAM), memory resources (HDD), and routing resources (the ability to route, reroute, for proxies, VPNs, TOR, etc).

Sadly, Parler didn't really have their network decentralized.

I can only speculate and assume Parler wasn't prepared.

Some said Parler had to be shut down to stop Trump from using it.

Parler was hosted on Amazon meaning Amazon had that centralized power to decide.

But I say that to say projects should try their best not to rely on centralized server hosts.

I agree, especially when people are too close to a picture, it is harder to see it.

Companies and schools do that, they have local networks, as in "INTRANET" as opposed to "INTERNET."

Aspects of the Internet was being developed between colleges using cable lines possibly as early as the 1960s and there is no reason why people can't continue developing INTRANET STYLE systems or like ad-hoc mesh networks.

There may be at least 5 ways that providers, servers, computers, phones, devices, etc, may be blocked, spied on, DDoS-attacked, banned, targetted, blacklisted, etc, etc, whether they're decentralized or not; they may be stopped via OS, ISP, GSP, DNS, and, number five, other avenues as in via viruses, Trojan Horses, bugs, remote access, backdoors, spy systems, software, spy chips, other hardware stuff, hacking, etc, from web pirates, white and black hat hackers, nerds, geeks, terrorists, corporations, agencies, governments, etc.

The good news is the Internet is being decentralized, revolutionized, gradually people are trying, but it is good for people to understand the map of the Internet.

I was writing some articles relating to the map of the Internet. It turns out that there are at least three levels to the Internet, generally speaking for the majority of Internet traffic. First, Internet funnels through Tier-1 internet service providers (ISP), and then, second, through Tier-2 regional service providers (RSP), and then, thirdly, through Tier-3 global service providers (GSP), and I don't know if there would be a Tier-4 or other things. But to summarize the main structure of the Internet, I would say ISP, RSP, and GSP. I'm not saying there aren't other things too, but based off what I can find via Google searches, I would summarize potentially what might be currently over 90% of all global-related-Internet-Traffic using these three rather vague terms to describe the flowchart of general Internet transactions, data, upstream, downstream, uploads, downloads, streaming, usage, bandwidth, etc.

I would say a link is a link regardless of where it might have originate from.

But if you allow for any links at all, that is what I am getting at, where the invisible line might be.

I read the post and I don't know if this is off-topic or not.

How do we find work during Covid?

05:29 PM - Hive Blog

I'm going to share this post for now. I see you in Discord. Hopefully we can all talk and brainstorm a little different options. Would you be willing to relocate long-term to other states outside of Tennessee?

The post does have an emphasis on how to withdraw money, specifically cryptocurrencies.

So, specifically speaking, the post relates to Hive Blog, there is an emphasis relating to Hive, HBD, and HP even.

The post talks about how to use the Hive Wallet.

The post relates specifically to how we all can use the Hive Blog websites.

The relevance is very clear.

I left a comment on your post and there are a few Discord servers you can try.

You can reply to my comment on your post and I could give you links in a DM for other servers you can try on Discord as well.

The post was asking questions about how to use Hive Blog.

The post is NOT about FINANCE.

The post was asking questions about how to use Hive Blog from a technical standpoint.

Do you ever allow for any links relating to anything ever on this channel?

It seems you have an invisible line that you created and I'm pointing out that I have a hard time seeing invisible lines.

I just included a link as seen above, you better ban me.

The link above is an invite to the Terminal Discord.

In a way, I broke the rule by including that link to Discord as seen above.

Imagine if I posted a link to a Hive Blog Post and inside that Hive Blog Post was a direct hyperlink to the Terminal Discord Server.

Sometimes in life, you may find indirect paths.

How does Hive Blog REP, HP, and RC work?

05:50 PM - Discord

How can you say REP does not let you post more? Maybe not directly speaking, what I've seen is a correlation as I followed the numbers growing on Hive Blocks, as REP got bigger, RC got bigger. The only counter would be if RC were to move at a fixed rate in isolation. But it seems that as HP increases, then REP increases due to increased HP. Also, separately, it seems that as HP increases, RC increased. Therefore, indirectly speaking, REP and RC are the children of HP in that they react to HP. I'm only speaking as an observer since I've not studied the codes which governs these properties.

Is it possible for a brand new account created in March of 2021 on Hive Blog to acquire a negative reputation score of like -15? See, once upon a time, there were no resource credits (RC) on Steemit over a year ago or the manna system was slightly different. I don't remember the exact details. But it seems that if REP were to drop that low, wouldn't RC drop as well? I want to assume that RC would either immediately or eventually drop to prevent people from posting too much or possibly even at all and I thought that was one of the purposes of RC was to stop spam, etc by throttling how much they could post.

In other words, you're saying REP is determined by several factors like you said, how active an account is, how much RC and HP an account has, and I agree. My point was not that RC is directly tied to Rep but rather that RC is indirectly connected to Rep. I don't disagree with what you're saying with these things. I'm just saying I can correlate, I can use Rep as a clue to how much RC an account might have.

I agree, I am trying to say Rep is indirectly correlated with RC as to say as HP goes up, then Rep and RC may go up. Like you guys said, there are different factors to these things, and I don't disagree with how what I am saying is probably way too vague and way too indirect.

Is it safe to say when a spam post is downvoted enough, then a negative payout would play a factor in the account's REP? But would the downvote not directly affect the account's RC? But the REP is one of the things that may eventually affect RC? Or is my mind looking at the details backwards or in the wrong order of sequences?

No links allowed on that Hive Discord?

06:50 PM

Except for invitation links, I was the one who invited @Sinistry#7716 here from there and I told them I was breaking their rules by posting a link. They said no you didn't break a rule because it's not a Hive link. I said imagine if I linked to a Hive post which included an invitation link to the Terminal Discord Server. I said it's an invisible line because links are links and attempts at trying to categorize them is dangerous potentially speaking.

I may talk myself into creating a flowchart to help describe HP, REP, and RC. I think the Hive ecosystem is pretty cool, possibly cooler than Blurt.

Are you open to moving out of Tennessee to potentially any state, any country, is there any place you're not open to located?

A major difference I've seen was it cost me around 5 to 9 Blurt to post something, generally. When I post every six hours approximately, posts cost around 1 Blurt. After about like 12 to 24 hours, around 5 Blurt. I don't know what all the factors are for determining the costs for posting, commenting, etc, but it looks like there is an incentive to get people to post more often, to stay engaged on Blurt as prices drop a bit as you post more often. Around like January of 2021, I ran out of Blurt and then I powered down something like 200 Blurt Power (BP) I think so I could pay for more posting. There might have been a Bitcoin-powered blockchain that was like that. But I tend to prefer how Hive uses RC as a primary gauge for determining how much or how often an account can post.

We should find ways to rent out Hive Power (HP) to new accounts as more HP means more RC, assuming people aren't already. Are there people, projects, apps, websites, which can loan out HP? I know people delegate HP to new users and that is a good idea to like adopt a new user to delegate them some HP kind of thing. I would prefer more automated systems for renting out HP, I mean delegating HP. I would love to see promotions for new users, like a free trial. I mean, maybe not a free trial per se but I mean like, "Join Today and Get 100 HP for your first six months delegated to you." Perhaps a loan where you pay back with some interest for the next 2 years after that or perhaps no interest at all and just that the delegation ends after a period of time like 6 months is my suggestion.

But a counter to that some people might say would be in regards to how delegation could be abused.

Gift Giver appears to lend around 40,000.000000 VESTS (about 20 HP as of Feb 21, 2019) for seven days and they may sometimes allow for extensions, renewals. I don't know which accounts might be qualified to receive temporary delegation, I'm guessing newer accounts but I don't know if there is a cut-off date for accounts which might be too big (too much HP and RC) or too old.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you about her and everything else.

My point was that she was triggered by what I wrote regarding how there are two genders.

Yeah, I see that, help me eat. Yes. We all have to pay the bills.

I like friendly debate even if it might not always be welcomed sometimes.

I've not interacted with her in a long time and ignoring trolls and ignoring people in general can be a good tactic at times.

I do upvote her posts when I can.

Rosicrucianism is a new word for me, I'm looking at it on Wikipedia right now.

I may have had relatives or ancestors I hear who were like in the Freemasons or I don't know all the details as of right now.

Is astral projection extremely related to lucid dreaming, are they vaguely similar or how different are these different terms?

One of my favorite series is The 100, they lasted seven seasons. The blond was inside her own head and then there was another girl who was also inside her mind. There were like libraries within the mind and/or soul or whatever it might have been. Now, I've had lucid dreaming at times. I've seen and felt a variety of things which are what some call quite creative which begs the question did my subconscious make it up, does it come from memories, does it come from spiritual or supernatural or omni-dimensional input so to speak would be the question. Can people talk to each other and/or other creatures while sleeping or via other means? I'm open to the possibilities of X-Men style super human powers, to aliens, other dimensions, etc. I refuse to say specific things are impossible.

I'm not always going to promote that nothing is impossible but I do try to encourage people to be open to more and more at times.

I was thinking of concentrating on holding onto an apple, to concentrate on that action visually and mechanically with my fingers and hands while going to sleep at night, my desire is that I can use the apple to wake up my consciousness while I am dreaming at night to help trigger my mind to the realization that I'm in a dream so I can then take advantage of being in control. I've not been successful yet at finding a gateway towards lucid dreaming yet.

When I close my eyes, I can see random images, thoughts, extremely vaguely and yet extremely random and extremely fast and never ending. Some people told me when they close their eyes that they see nothing. I've always seen or imagined things when I close my eyes or when I am thinking and daydreaming in general. I don't know how many people might not have the same exact experiences visually or mentally that I have like I have described here. It is possible that I might be different than some people. One question might be how many people are too removed, too different, than what I'm describing here. I guess I would have to investigate this topic more to see.

I understand the risks on top of that.

It's like seeking to escape the Matrix. There was risk involved when Neo escaped, that being the flying drone robots, the Smith or Anderson agents, when you seek to go beyond these three main dimensions, you run the risk of running into God knows what you may run into.

The cost of freedom includes that of responsibility, awareness.

I want to see an apple in my dreams. I've never seen apples in my dreams. I guess I should try to concentrate on whichever things I am most likely to see in a dream so that I could potentially trigger my mind towards active consciousness while I'm dreaming.

A girl I liked died when she was 16 in 2003, I've tried talking to her in my dreams, I've explored her house a little in my dreams. I've only been engaged in a few dreams relating to her over the years since she died and all.

My dreams generally have color.

To be specific, I don't really recall dreaming in black and white. Well, some of my dreams can be extremely hard to visualize as I begin to forget some of them. Yet, I can't say I've ever visualized images in black and white. Do people dream in B&W? I can't imagine how that is possible to extract color from images. I can kind of imagine B&W and yet I have to consciously do the extraction.

I've had dreams where I was flying around the world and a few times I flew into outer space and beyond the stars and beyond galaxies and I have no idea how far. There were times I felt like I was going so fast and part of me wanted to continue flying and the other part of me was scared to death of the speed as it felt scary and possibly painful as I was going so fast. I felt like I was able to explore the planet a bit and also the stars. Yet, based on what I can recall as of right now, I don't remember too many details. I mostly saw a bunch of trees, rivers, things like that as I flew and hovered over the planet. I started at my house in America. I think I was living in Vietnam at the time which is how I was able to realize I was in a dream. I also mostly saw stars when I was in space. But there were a few times in my life when I was successful at flying. Sometimes in my dreams, I'm unable to fly. But a few times I was able to fly.

The annoying part was the inability to fly, to see certain things, to go certain places. Like, there were times I knew I was dreaming and I tried taking control of the dream and wasn't always successful. And more so, the only thing more annoying is how many times when I try to take control of dreams, I ended up waking up out of my dreams. I sometimes would feel a sense of being punished for attempting to be active as opposed to passive inside lucid dreams. Well, I guess I may not wake up immediately depending on how lucid or how deep the sleep might be. The problem can partly come if I'm being a light sleeper meaning not being conscious during the deepest parts of the REM sleep. I think I generally only remember the shallow before-awakening dreams. You could say light-sleep dreams don't really count when compared to deep-sleep dreams. But it's better than nothing. Being conscious during light-sleep dreams is not much more useful than being conscious during daydreaming.

Regarding Joey Hive

09:09 PM

Or would it be better to start using Hive Blocks to start in 2017?

I am impressed with your work.

You told me to bring up things and especially posts which may be the most relevant to the case. Inside my mind right now is the ongoing debate of which things are more relevant.

Hive Blocks is on the chain.

I know how to differentiate between posts where I talked about censorship with specific posts or specific interactions between me and other accounts relating to downvotes in particular say for example and I think that is a major emphasis on your mind for a particular emphasis in a case you're building.

So, among those two things, I think you're looking for more the latter over the former.

I wanted to ask you what you wanted me to show you.

And I was trying to say I think I know.

I was trying to describe which things you might want to see more of relating to me.

And I am trying to develop an emphasis.

I think you want to see only things relating to me with the Hive Blog and Steem related blockchains and not things relating to other websites, things offline, etc.

I'm trying not to over-generalize.

I probably already listed the most relevant posts.

Number one, Spaminator. Ok.

Number 2, examples of me defining spam.

I may consider creating posts where I try to index some of those topics like spam, trolling, etc.

So I am brainstorming out loud strategies and priorities.

I am just thinking out loud right now regarding which things I may tackle first.

And I have written a few things over the years already relating to spam, trolling, etc. My desire has been to do a better job in the future in writing even better articles, videos, etc.

I should try to do more how-to related content.

I always felt like everyone could do what I do. As I get older, I realize not so much, not always.

My posts have links to articles I haven't even written yet.

For example, each of my Oatmeal Daily blog posts link to my Oatmeal Monthly posts. So, the URL for each monthly post is the year, dash, and then I spell out the month. So, @joeyarnoldvn/2021-march does not exist but when it does in a month, this link will take you to it.

So, I name the post 2021, March. That will translate into that URL.

If you turn the 2021 into a 2020 or into 2019 or even 2010 in the URL, it will turn into the monthly posts I have for those different years.

I've not done monthly posts for anything before 2010 yet. Well, not sure how far back I could go. But I've been building an autobiography to outline every year of my life. Maybe not every month. And absolutely not every day. I may try to get every season of my life at best, that is a post for ever summer, fall, winter, and spring seasons of my life going back to my birth in 1985.

If you were to screenshot more of my posts for 2021, 2020, etc, etc, whichever, as you decide, if you were to need help ever someday, if you wanted to, a good thing to remember is that you CAN find links to my daily posts in my monthly posts and links to my monthly posts in my yearly posts and links to my yearly posts in my decade posts which are nested in century posts which are nested in millennium posts which are nested in era posts and things of that nature and I don't know if I can make a post for every century since the dawn of time but I'm trying to. I don't think I can do any more than like a a post for every century for world history. I don't think I could make posts for every single decade. I like building outlines to everything. So, my emphasis has been to start with outlines of time itself.

Each of my Oatmeal Daily posts have links to my Time Outlines which can be used to navigate all of space and time so speak to lookup any millennium and hopefully any century as well including that of the future as well. Maybe not any century but potentially as many as possible is my desire. I then seek to index outlines of geography, websites, and a wide variety of topics, categories, subjects, materials, libraries, types of media, timelines like I said already, directories, people, things, ideas, religions, accounts, groups, how-to stuff, etc, etc, etc. Sadly, if you go to my Hive Blog, you may find that some of my links don't work yet because they link to posts which don't exist yet. The links will work as soon as the posts are written and published. So, I'm literally linking to things which do not exist yet. And I don't honestly know how many people I may have scared away because of what appears to be broken hyperlinks to nonexistent articles. But I'm at least trying my best to organize, summarize, simplifying, prioritize, in a pursuit help humanity in a variety of ways.

My Oatmeal Daily articles goes back to 2019. Before that, I was always posting each day or I at least didn't have posts which were specifically named with just the date for each post. My desire is to always post at least once a day for as long as I'm alive.

What are yellow fish?

10:11 PM

I don't know if there is already a classification for what yellow fish might be. If there aren't any already, we could try to make it up like perhaps yellow fish could be 500 HP to 10,000 HP. That is if we were to use HP as the scale. Depending on what other bigger fish we might have on the map.

Can we create a bot which goes around taking screenshots of posts?

Want to move or what?

10:22 PM - Hive

Are you talking about not abandoning people online and/or offline? Sounds like you're specifically reference Hive Blog related people who you can not abandon regardless of which state you're living in.

Which groups should I join?

11:22 PM

Finding a community is like finding a Facebook group. Like Yoda Britt said, like dishes. So in other words, what do you like eating? Have you been to Gems?

And I'm eclecoatmeal.

Does the Terminal have a community?
