TLDR; Nice week, goals already done, busy days in real life, witnesses keep running, tools keep growing, and saving continues while the 2026 goals slowly take shape for next years #saturdaysavers !. Life Before Hive… but Hive still gets plenty of love.
Alright, deep breath… here we go.
Man, what a week again. Sometimes you get these weeks where you just think: “Good thing I finished all my goals last week, because otherwise this would have turned into a gigantic train wreck.” And yeah… this was one of those.
Hive goals: all completed, every single one
15000 HP? Check.250 EDSI? Check.BBHO, BXT, LEO? Check, check, check.
The table basically mocks me at this point. Everything is green. So green an avocado would get jealous. And the funniest part? I barely moved forward this week… but it doesn’t matter anymore. “Mission accomplished,” and the train still keeps rolling.
Life… that thing happening between all the hivin’
This week was more “care team” than “tech team.” Our youngest son had surgery on Thursday, which, understated version, required quite a bit of logistics and problem-solving for me and @nathalie-s. Our daughter still has a long road ahead too, so lots of appointments, measurements, medical talks, and admin.
And then suddenly… HELLO hard fork! My witness still half in its pajamas, Hive already rebooting, and I had exactly zero time. But look: the @botlord witness survived it, is running smoothly again, and syncing like nothing happened.
Voting is still allowed, of course 😉 👉 https://peakd.com/witnesses 👉 https://ecency.com/witnesses (scroll down a bit to find @botlord)
Coding: “in between everything” is still work
There I was: kid in pain on the left, stress on the right, Hive Engine on fire again in the background… And still, I pushed an update to the Tipping Bots Tool: 👉 https://tipping.botlord.eu More bots, more info, correct instructions, more things that actually work.
The payout scripts, on the other hand… well… let’s just say this week was “shit happens × rate limits × human error.” But hey, that’s how learning works. Trial, error, facepalm, fix, and repeat.
The numbers?
Honestly? Pretty good:
HP slightly up, doesn’t need to go higher anymore. Well, it does. A lot, but not for reaching THIS goal.
EDSI moving into “overachiever” territory
BXT stable
All systems still green
And let’s be real: when all your goals are reached, +118 HP feels just as good as +1180 HP.
2026 goals are starting to bubble up
And now… what’s next?
25000 HP?
30000 HP?
1500 HBD? 2000? 2500?
Stack more DUO?
GIFU maybe?
BBHO always welcome.
And the big BXT question…
Still not sure about BXT. The drip is nice (0.4/day), but Beeswap having random coma attacks doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
But first: rest, family, health. The goals are done. Time to breathe. And after that? 2026 baby! We’re going to smash that one too.
