I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #964 - Update on ALIVE Daily Dividend Payouts - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, March 18, 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I want to give the community an update on the daily dividend payouts for held and staked ALIVE, and our progress with getting it up and running again. I know that I mentioned that this would have been completed a fair bit earlier, but that's not how it flowed. Everyone in the core Alive Tribe leadership works with the time that they have available, me included. It's been in my mind, however, and we are very close, so I want to share where we are with it.

As I've mentioned, the payout script is basically done and ready, with just a few modifications still to be made based on certain parameters that we're discussion now. We could do scaled payouts, where any amount of held and/or staked ALIVE would receive correspondingly scaled amounts of the payout tokens, or we could do it in tiers, where there is a minimum amount of ALIVE held and/or staked to be eligible for each payout tier, with everyone in a tier receiving a scaled amount of each token. Although I like scaled payouts better for both, and I would prefer them, they also generate a whole bunch more transactions by many orders of magnitude, so I'm thinking that implementing it in a hybrid scaled-tiered fashion might indeed the way to go.

We're just about ready to do a test run tomorrow on @aliveandthriving, the account that we'll be using to send out all payments, as it has a good amount of HP (which I'm continuing to grow), as well as having the largest holdings of the tokens chosen for payouts. The most important thing in the implementation of the payout script is that it doesn't send out more of each token in payouts than we receive in income, otherwise it would not be sustainable, so we'll be implementing an assessment in the script of the weekly average income for each token, with the daily payouts being just a little bit below the weekly-average-income number for each token. The percentage of the 'little bit below' can be adjusted over time, as needed, with the goal of making sure that the holdings of the payout tokens continue to grow week to week.

Tne tokens that we'll be using to restart the daily dividend payouts are, as I've mentioned a few times previously, ALIVE, BBH, PEPE, and LOLZ, as those are the assets of which we have the largest liquid holdings (aside from ALIVEM). As I continue to grow our income in various useful and valuable assets over time, I'll add new tokens to the daily payouts. There are already some tokens which I think would be great additions, we just need a lot more of them to make it work.

As to an ETA, I'm hoping this week or early next, but it will be as soon as possible in any case. Returning ALIVE to its status as an income token should generate more interest and motivation to both hold and stake it, to participate in the community, and its market-value should increase, all of which would be wonderful eventualitiies indeed. You might want to get ahold of more ALIVE and ALIVEM while the prices are still so low!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished my Hive tasks, just a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for these posts. With that done to my satisfaction, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and then I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. After cow food I took a shower, and a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, before heading to work in my newly-reclaimed nursery for a while, repotting and up-potting various plants in need. It does feel really good to have a functional nursery, and to be working with my beloved plants, once again. I stopped just before sunset, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by a bit after 9:30PM, and after some asset management, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed just about 12AM. I woke up a little after 6:30AM, having slept very well, doing more asset management, starting on this post, getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11AM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for my session with Riana at 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my BPUD post later this evening, and the next expression of this post 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
