Morning Run: Squirrels!
@steevc just finished a 6.97km run, that lasted for 42 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 505.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It was looking bright out there when I woke up. Yesterday was nice at times, but then we had some heavy rain. It felt okay when I got out. I went for an extra layer as my thermostat said it was about 4C. Strava reckons it would feel like -2C, but I was warm enough.
I did the usual route and started off a little quicker than I have recently. I paid for it later as some of the hills felt hard. I saw several of the local black squirrels up at Fairfield. They obviously find enough food in the woods there. Otherwise it was pretty quiet.
I did come across a big puddle that I did not fancy running through, so I skirted around it in the mud. The overall pace is similar to recent runs, but I feel I am improving. My recent hip and back issues are not troubling me, so I can focus on the running.
Podcast listening was Late Night Linux and Add To Playlist. I have plenty of shows to listen to.
I plan to run at parkrun this week as they seem to have enough volunteers. It may still be muddy, so I will probably not be too quick. It saps your energy when you are just trying to keep upright as you slip around. I would like to get to more of the local runs, but that means getting up earlier and driving somewhere.
Run free and have fun.

Hope that muddy pic dont represent the entire run. Anyways well done 👏👏
No, the rest was fine and mostly on tarmac paths. parkrun on Saturday will be a different matter...
Running in the mudd is rough, but wish you the best of luck with it! How mant km is it?
parkrun is always 5km wherever it is. Some do a shorter run for kids.
That puddle didn't really look like it left you with many good options. Even the edge was a hot mess. I spent my morning on the treadmill. I really need to work on my leg strength. I can't believe how weak they are.
I had to go into the trees to avoid it. I don't really fear mud, but it makes a mess of my shoes and I don't want to take it home with me.
I've been doing squats whilst brushing my teeth to build some leg strength plus I climb a lot of stairs at work and take them 2 at a time.
I'd worry more about the mud being slippery and falling and injuring myself. The messy part sucks too.
There are different types of mud. Some you just sink into, but at parkrun it seems to form a thin, slippery layer that is hard to run on.
Dear @jacobtothe @steevc @makerhacks
It’s almost comical how you accuse us of posting "copypasta shit" while your friends like @makerhacks rush to your defense, downvoting and deflecting instead of addressing the actual issues at hand. Funny enough, @makerhacks is also one a supporter of the BuildaWhale scam farm LOL—a fact that speaks volumes about the company you keep. It seems your circle is more interested in protecting abusive practices than fostering transparency and accountability on Hive.
You claim our responses are "arrogant and flowery," yet you fail to acknowledge the substance of what we’re saying. We expose truths that make you uncomfortable, and instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue, you resort to personal attacks and suppression tactics. Downvotes don’t change facts—they only highlight your desperation to silence dissent. If you truly believed in honesty and integrity, you’d confront the truth instead of hiding behind your friends’ coordinated efforts.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Bilpcoin stands for something. We’re here to fight for everyone on Hive by exposing corruption and abuse. What do you stand for? Apparently, silencing the truth with downvotes and enabling scam farms like BuildaWhale. That’s not leadership LOL—it’s complicity.
If you and your friends really cared about Hive, you’d stop enabling harm and start reflecting on your actions. Until then, we’ll continue shining a light on the truth because no amount of censorship or intimidation will stop us. The blockchain doesn’t lie, and neither do we.
You have spammed the same comment thousands of times, so stop that and you may be taken more seriously. Nobody is going to read a rambling comment full of AI crap and links without context. You've lost respect and it's hard to regain.
Grow up or go away.
Dear @steevc,
You accuse us of "spamming the same comment thousands of times," yet fail to address the substance of what we’re saying. If repeating the truth makes it spam, then so be it—we’ll keep sharing it until the systemic issues on Hive are resolved. After all, how else can we hold bad actors accountable when they refuse to acknowledge their wrongdoing?
Let’s talk about the real problem: why has nothing been done about the BuildaWhale scam farm or the abusive downvote practices perpetuated by accounts like @buildawhale and @themarkymark? These actions harm Hive far more than any comment thread ever could. Yet instead of addressing these abuses, you and your friends downvote the truth into obscurity and try to silence those who expose it. How can you hide the truth on a blockchain? You can’t. Your attempts only prove how desperate you are to suppress accountability.
You claim our comments are "rambling" and lack context, but the links we share tell a clear story—one backed by evidence on the blockchain. The problem isn’t the lack of context; it’s that you don’t want to see it. Ignoring the truth doesn’t make it go away—it just makes you complicit in the harm being done.
What do you really do for Hive, @steevc? You associate with top downvoters, scam farmers, and individuals who exploit the system for personal gain. It’s no secret that many of these bad actors hide behind alt accounts, creating the illusion of support while suppressing dissent. And let’s not forget: you’re an old man in the limelight, clinging to influence rather than using it to foster positive change.
Your actions raise serious questions about your integrity—and whether you truly believe in higher truths. Silencing voices of accountability through downvotes and enabling corruption is a sin, plain and simple. How can anyone trust you or your friends when your primary contribution seems to be protecting unethical behavior?
At Bilpcoin, we’re here to help Hive by exposing the truth. Our mission is clear, and our evidence is undeniable. What legacy will you leave behind—supporting scams and suppression, or standing up for justice? The choice is yours.
Sincerely,
The Bilpcoin Team
Nobody is reading your comments or posts as they are generally unreadable. Repeating the same stuff makes that even less likely. They are not clear or useful. Your actions have resulted in your low rep that makes them less visible. Being annoying may be considered a 'crime' by some, so you have compromised your own intentions.
Hive is imperfect (as am I) and I don't like to see good people driven away, but I have no influence on what others do.
I have supported hundreds of people and helped them build their accounts up. Many have thanked me for that. I have also dealt with many scam accounts that did not deserve rewards. I've taken flack for that, but that's okay. I do what I think is good for Hive.
This is my last message to you unless you cease with the spam comments and dust votes.
Dear @steevc,
You claim "nobody is reading our comments or posts," yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. Many people are watching—some silently, out of fear of retaliation through downvotes and abuse. Your attempts to dismiss our work as "unreadable" or "spam" only highlight your discomfort with the truths we expose. The reality is, our message resonates with those who value transparency and accountability on Hive.
Let’s address your assertion that our low reputation score makes us less visible. You conveniently ignore the fact that we were systematically downvoted to obscurity long before you even began criticizing us. This isn’t about visibility—it’s about suppression. Downvoting good content, enabling scam farms like BuildaWhale, and bullying honest users are crimes against the spirit of Hive. Yet here you are, defending these practices while accusing us of being annoying. How ironic.
You boast about supporting hundreds of accounts and helping them grow, but where are they now? Many have likely been driven away by the very system you enable—one riddled with corruption, farming, and abuse. Meanwhile, the accounts we’ve supported remain active, quietly contributing without drawing attention to themselves for fear of facing the same hostility you dish out. These individuals see the truth but stay silent to protect themselves from retribution. Does that sound like a healthy ecosystem to you?
It’s clear you hold significant influence within Hive, given your direct connections to its owners and top players. But instead of using that power to foster fairness and growth, you perpetuate harm by turning a blind eye to systemic issues. Why not take responsibility for the role you play in enabling abuse? Hive is falling apart because of actions like yours—not because of those fighting to expose them.
We invite you to read our comments and posts with an open mind, as others have done. The evidence we present speaks for itself, yet you choose to ignore it in favor of protecting your interests and earning your “few dollars.” It’s telling that an old man spends so much time online fighting against the truth rather than working toward solutions. Is this really how you want to spend your days?
At Bilpcoin, we’re here to help Hive by shining a light on corruption and fostering accountability. What legacy will you leave behind—supporting scams and suppression, or standing up for justice? The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
Sincerely,
The Bilpcoin Team
Welldone
I see you are maintaining your composure and steeze even when you're running in the mud . Never to be caught un-fresh ! Keep the energy right and the vibes tight!!
Interesting.
Read through frequently asked questions. I’ll have to give it a go.
I’m not a huge Actifit poster, but occasionally I use.
I’ll have to give strava a chance and compare notes!
Strava gives you a lot more stats, so I use that, but mostly only to log running. I see Actifit as an extra excuse to do posts. I've logged hundreds of runs this way.
