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 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Well, asset management is still much more arduous without BeeSwap, which makes it much less enjoyable for me, as the process is more an awkward battle than an easeful flow. I'm determined, one way or another, to recreate BeeSwap, because it truly was an essential Hive tool for asset management, but in an even better iteration than existed before. I don't know how yet, but it needs to happen.
Aside from continuing to look more closely at how the new online age verifcation 'laws' (evil agenda), that various US States and Brazil are enacting, are impacting many important FOSS and Linux/*BSD communities and projects, I also began doing some digital archeology, first on The Internet Archive's WayBack Machine, and then via an image search on Presearch, to locate images of BeeSwap, so that I could get a clearer idea of its exact visual layout. While I didn't have any luck with the WayBack Machine, my web search for images was more successful, with several good examples.
Although BeeSwap did have a few annoying bugs, an implementation of delegating tokens that I never liked, and a few missing features, it was still the most elegant, efficient, and functional asset-management frontend available on Hive during the time that it existed, and by a notable degree. The visual layouts of the desktop and mobile interfaces, with their nested tabs or hamburger menus, were simple, clear, and logical, which made navigation a breeze.
Apart from BeeSwap's excellent visual design, it also had various extremely convenient and helpful features which were the core of why it was so amazing. First of all, all pages constantly pulled in dynamic real-time data, so there was no need for them to be reloaded, unlike Tribaldex or Hive Engine. That one feature is pure gold by itself, and BeeSwap had many other immensely useful components as well, that together made it my all-time favorite asset-management interface by far.
Some of the other essential functionality of BeeSwap were, in no particular order: the liquidity-pool pull-down menus that listed all the pools where we have liquidity at the top of the pool list, and in alphabetical order; the fact that, whether managing tokens in our wallets or in pools, as soon as transactions were successfully broadcast, a color-coded status pop-up for each transaction would appear in the lower right of the page, which allowed for multi-transaction processing at the same time, so there was no need to wait for a transaction to be completed before starting another, which immensely speeds up the process; that we could add multiple accounts, and switch between them with one click, instead of having to sign out and back in again, and the extremely detailed amount of information that was provided for liquidity pools, both in general, and specifically for the pools in which we have liquidity, was unmatched by any other frontend. The only other features which I would add into a better BeeSwap would be a section to view earned pool fees, both within time ranges, and historically, and a section where SCOT rewards may be claimed (those are the only two features from Tribaldex and Hive Engine that were missing from BeeSwap). BeeSwap must be recreated, and I'm calling on some of my coding friends, @borniet, @ecoinstant, @thecrazygm, and @forykw, to see if a reborn and better BeeSwap is a feasible possibility.
Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Kasbah, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2:15PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then, after completing a few small jungle-community tasks, to working with Ano in continuing with repairs on the Flow House, and after a short break, to cleaning the shop, which for me meant collecting and moving many wheelbarrow loads of scrap wood (from the saws) to the firewood-storage area next to the showers. When we finally had that completed, the shop looked a whole lot better, and I was hungry and tired, so I went to Wabisabi to make myself some food (a larger-than-usual spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Kasbah to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by a bit after 9PM, and after doing some asset management on two accounts, my own and @heartbeatvault01, I went to bed by around 11:45PM. I woke up around 6:45AM, having slept reasonably well, doing more slow asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Kasbah to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's a really good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my numerous Sunday Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Kasbah a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then on jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update tomorrow morning, and the next manifestation of these posts tomorrow afternoon! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2026 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

You're invited to provide liquidity in our two ALIVE diesel/liquidity pools, both of which offer daily liquidity rewards:
There will be more ALIVE pools coming soon!
Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!
This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!
If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.
Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!
Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!
Vote for @bradleyarrow's 
Witness Node!
Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
