Hey there, I noticed you have a vote placed on my old steemwitness named "sircork" like me :) and which has been disabled for over two years. That vote is wasted and you could cast it for an

Catch the winds, lads and lasses, catch the winds. Oops, sorry, that "wind" was the ghost of me beans

But not MINE, "SirCork" is a disabled witness in the chain from before the steem/hive fork in 2020. No way to get rid of it, but im down to like just only 5 tiny minnow voters left on it and

So the basic premise is that "a modifier parameter for HP." actually DOES exist for the movers, shakers and grinders. It's the rewards pool, and if the minnows all did as you suggest and set

I think tokens are supposed to be instantly delivered with a few seconds, to maybe a minute or two depending on how busy the API nodes are, but I honestly don't have any idea what the correct answer is.

Yes indeed. Welcome back to the fun and nonsense. It seems a lot of folks who had left for a long time, are coming back in recent weeks.

¡No hay problema, es un placer!

I use one called ExpressVPN when I am at my place in Costa Rica, it's okay, there are probably better ones though. If I were you, I would ask other Venezuelans what they use. Like @malos10 is a friend

They cannot take away hive from you, unless they block the entire internet. Get a VPN before they do that! The guy in the meme is great, he is from this 1999 movie called "Office Space".

I enjoyed this read, because I often preach a lot of the same core ideas. The pursuit of "things", or "status" as metrics for "success in life", are patently programmed propaganda
