I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
The friendship, and the fun, easeful, creative, and productive developmental partnership that has recently arisen between myself and Badass Botlord @borniet, is engendering a whole whirlwind of ideas for future projects to bring to the Blockchain. It's almost every day that one, or both of us, come up with yet another intriguing idea for some potentially badass project to benefit the Hive community. I get the very strong feeling that I should indeed be involved with development, because honestly this work that we're doing excites me to no end!
We started with tipping bots because we both saw a strong need in this area, especially with the months-long broken-bot situation, and because @borniet felt an inclination in that direction. So far we have three new tipping bots and their tokens up and running, @indeedly/!INDEED/IDD, @hopelizer/!HOPE/HOP, and the newest, @weirdly/!WEIRD/WRD. The last two are in the final phase of testing, with their tipping tiers being defined now. As I've been mentioning, these three are just the beginning. We've both got some very cool ideas for several more nifty tipping bots that we think and feel our fellow Hivers will love.
Without going into too much detail yet, I wanted to share a few of these ideas with you today. On our list presently we have a words-of-wisdom bot, that will share inspirtational, motivational, and powerful quotes in the tip reply, similar to how the LOLZ bot does with jokes. There's a Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) bot, that will have multiple useful benefits, both for the tipper, the tipee, and those that simply hold or stake the token. We've got (a) !BADASS and/or a !KICKASS bot(s), to express to people how much we appreciate them and what they share. The idea that came to me last night, and that I've already shared with @borniet, is a tipping bot that tips 1 Satoshi of SWAP.BTC, possibly with dual-tipping. This is just a handful of the ideas on the docket at the moment, and more are added almost daily!
Work on these various tipping bots will be our main focus for a while I imagine, and we will of course continue to develop and maintain them over time. I do have a notable feeling, however, that we will not constrain ourselves exclusively to the realm of tipping bots, but will over time begin diving into perhaps other areas of development in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem. There is still one idea that I had a while ago, an internal Hive DNS Service, to create a fail-safe if the 13 worldwide root ICANN DNS server (which are completely owned and controlled by nefarious interests) are disabled, or the IP-bindings are removed for Hive websites, that I want to create somehow. Since Hive is still entirely dependent on these 13 root ICANN DNS servers, this is a major point of potential failure that I very strongly feel needs to be addressed. I still don't know exactly how feasible this project would be yet, but if it's possible, I very much want to make it happen, because it would make Hive all-the-more unstoppable. That's my one idea that is not tipping-bot related. Whatever direction is taken in our developmental path on Hive, I know that it will be fun, engaging, and exciting, and that it will strongly benefit the Hive community!
Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just before 2PM. I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, as I tend to do. With kefir done, I devoted some time to photography for these posts, as the sun played peek-a-boo with the clouds. After my photography session, I did the dry-goods order for Tutu's and the Landing. Once I had that done, I took a short break, then I got the 100-foot tape measurer, to find the distance between the Casbah and the Bali Hut, to determine how much conduit and ethernet cable that I'll need to get internet set up in the Bali Hut. I also got the conduit and ethernet cable together and staged, ready to go. I plan on getting this done today, or tomorrow at the latest. When I had my distance assessment done, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and of course, catching up on my infinitely-multiplying notifications. I had so many notifications last night that even after hours of focused effort to get caught up, I had to finally make myself go to sleep just after 12:30AM, still two hours behind. I thankfully slept very well, waking up around 7:30AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, the getting out of bed around 8AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee.
After making my superfood fire coffee, I went to help do some clearing work along the first driveway, after it was bulldozed and leveled. I worked with Zai for a while, cutting and removing strawberry guava along the treeline. Once the fire ants got the better of me, I broke away from that to go take a shower, then return to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first go help Melekai distribute and level a load of soil that was just delivered down at the trailhead to her place. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2024 Life Goals
1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do.
2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness.
3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others.
4.) Dance regularly again.
5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again.
6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.
7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.
9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships.
10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice.
11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.
