I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1204 - Payout-Script Success, and the ALIVE Daily Dividends Are Back in Business! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, November 13, 2025

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (

), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, my friends, I have some excellent news to share with you today! Bjorn (@borniet) rolled up his sleeves, and he got his coding hands dirty completely rewriting the payout script for our daily ALIVE dividends! We had 3 successful test runs last night, first with 1 HIVE, then 2, and finally with 15 HIVE, all of which worked correctly, and with those full amounts being sent out to our ALIVE holders and stakers in one go, rather than being spread out through the week. So in the process of running the tests, all missed payouts have also been compensated, and with a bit extra too!

Bjorn lost and donated/sacrificed almost 40 HIVE to troubleshooting and getting our script to run correctly once again, and even though I offered to repay him as I rebuilt our HIVE buffer, he declined, saying to consider it as his contribution to the cause. So give a big thank you to @borniet for all the HIVE that everyone received last night, and for so successfully recreating our payout script! I'd also strongly suggest voting for his @botlord Hive and Hive-Engine witness nodes (though you need staked WORKERBEE to vote for Hive-Engine witnesses)!

New safeguards were added to this new version of the script, as Bjorn says, it's armed to the teeth, to make certain that the crazy account looping and HIVE draining that occurred this week does not happen again. Last night after the last successful test, I consolidated all of the HIVE that had come in on our various community accounts, leaving 16 HIVE (15 HIVE for delegation payouts+1 HIVE as a precision buffer) on @aliveandsocial, for the HIVE payouts to HP delegators, and 16 HIVE (15 HIVE for dividend payouts+1 HIVE as a precision buffer) on @aliveandthriving, for the daily ALIVE dividends, with a surplus of 8.440 HIVE on @aliveprojects, to begin rebuilding our HIVE buffer, and to keep it separate from the other two HIVE allotments, just in case. So we're good to go again for payouts to our HP delegators, and for the return of our daily ALIVE dividends! Yahooey!

I was testing the new dual/symmetrical tipping (0.1 ALIVE for the tippee, and 0.1 ALIVE for the tipper) for ALIVE this morning, when noticed that our @youarealive tipping bot was not responding to my calls. It's weird, as it appears to be up and running fine, but nada for me (maybe it just doesn't like me...lol!). I'll try it again later. I really can't imagine that I actually used all 30 ALIVE tipping calls last night, but who knows? Is the dual/symmetrical ALIVE tipping working for y'all?

Regardless of the challenges that we face, or the obstacles that we encounter, you have my word that we will always do our best, that we will continue to work for your benefit, and that we will always find a way. That's always been the case, and I'm absolutely determined to keep it that way. Cross your fingers for a successful first run of the new payout script, with a larger HIVE allotment, for the ALIVE dividends, today! It will probably work as intended, but cross your fingers anyway, just in case!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had a nice batch of shots, I undertook an extensive weeding job along the side of the Landing leading to my nursery, since it allowed me to work out of the rain, and it really needed to be done anyway. I hauled out a huge pile of vegetation, and after completing that for the day, I took a shower, and a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I got a shovel and an o-o bar, and I used them to dig a good-sized hole to plant a new coconut palm along the second driveway, near the Flow House, to replace one that recently died from crown rot. With that finally done, I took one more shower, heading to the Landing next to make myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned mini beef patties, pepperjack cheese, and horseradish mustard), and then with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I returned to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done by around 8:30PM, and after some asset management, watching the last payout-script test that Bjorn started, powering up 20 HIVE on @aliveandthriving, and allocating the Alive Tribe HIVE for the week, I went to bed by just after 10:30PM. I woke up just before 6AM again, to yet more rain (it's been going back and forth between sun and torrential rain for 3 days now), having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12PPM, so it's a fantabulous time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts (between rain downpours), and then on community/land work, hopefully not in the rain! I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of these posts tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) 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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
