I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1041 - A Little Pool Comparison, PKM:SPS and DEC:SPS - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, June 3, 2025

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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my post yesterday I mentioned that, with the boost from my last batch of 100+ SPS that unstaked from Splinterlands, my liquidity in the DEC:SPS pool had finally crossed the threshold to receive pool fees, and oh my are they nice fees! It took me four big injections of liquidity into that pool, so about a month, to trigger the pool fees, and it was definitely worth the wait!

The DEC:SPS pool has the highest liquidity and trading/swap volume of any pool where I've successfully activated the pool fees, and I certainly understand now why that pool has such high liquidity, as those beautiful pool fees are exceptional. I want to give you a little comparison between the DEC:SPS and PKM:SPS pools, as their difference is quite striking indeed.

I started in the PKM:SPS pool just a little before I got into the DEC:SPS pool, and I boosted both of them with my unstaked SPS over the course of the last month. In that pool I presently have 243.10179 shares, my assets comprise 0.004% of the total pool liquidity, or 727.793 PKM/82.35044870 SPS/$1.53. I also receive 0.08510333 SPS, 0.230 Dec, 0.552 PKM in daily liquidity rewards. The pool fees that I've accrued from this pool up until this point are 0.12620444 PKM/0.00173079 SPS, so pretty good.

By comparison, I presently have 380.72773 shares in the DEC:SPS pool, with my assets comprising ~0.001% of total pool liquidity, or 1,293.687 DEC/132.65524594 SPS/$2.48. This pool has no daily liquidity rewards, but the pool fees more than make up for it. Since I crossed the pool-fee threshold yesterday morning, fewer than 24-hours ago, I've accrued 0.09674636 DEC/0.01043426 SPS in pool fees, which is several-fold more than I've received from the PKM:SPS pool (in terms of SPS) which has been accruing pool fees for more than a month, and in only about 22 hours! Holy fricking moly!

The PKM:SPS pool has a total liquidity of 19,337,917.021 PKM/2,188,078.369 SPS/$40,738.45, a trading/swap volume of 69,904,725.467 PKM/12,698,459.623 SPS/$192,503.77, with its total fees paid out being 84,481.198 PKM/16,414.008 SPS/$242.69. The DEC:SPS pool has a total liquidity of 161,536,452.843 DEC/16,581,581.321 SPS/$312,547.56, a trading/swap volume of 42,576,097,241.598 DEC/1,414,039,116.324 SPS/$54,642,510.05, and it's paid out a whopping 41,588,186.16 DEC/1,548,209.294 /$54,941.17. So yeah, a bit of a difference. The DEC:SPS pool is in third place for the highest amount of pool fees paid out, only behind SWAP.HIVE/DEC and SWAP.HIVE:SPS, which are the top two pools. Those two pools are in my cross-hairs for investment as soon as possible, obviously.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House around 2:30PM, jumping first into a round of photography for my posts. When I had a nice batch of shots, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking, and after a short asset-management break up at the Flow House, I got my machete again for a good clearing near the Landing. Once I was done macheteing, I took a shower, collected some leftover food and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and with those in hand(s), I made my way back to the Flow House, to easefully dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I was able to finish everything up by about 10:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed just before 12AM. I woke up just before 6AM, thankfully having slept well, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 6:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 10:45AM, so a glorious time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
