I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1244 - My First Liquidity-Pool Adventures on the Voi Network - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, December 23, 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 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Last night, since I finished my Hive tasks so early, I decided to use my free moment to investigate the current status of the Voi Network, a community-owned and driven blockchain that had recently launched its mainnet. I've been claiming about 1.25 VOI (and a handful of other tokens) every day for most of the last year at VOI Fountain, in preparation to be able to begin investing and leveraging assets within the nascent Voi Blockchain Ecosystem. Although I still didn't really find an social-media type of frontends, I did come across two DEXes on the Voi Network, Humble Swap and Nomadex, both of which I explored.

The first thing that I do on any new DEX is to take a good look at its diesel/liquidity pools, of course (y'all know my love for the pools!), and last night was no exception. I had accumulated 320+ VOI, along with a surprising amount of several other tokens, so as I was exploring the pools last night, I realized that I had sufficient VOI and the other tokens to begin adding them to a few liquidity pools, so that's exactly what I did. The pools between Humble Swap and Nomadex are different, and sadly my attempts at adding liquidity on Humble Swap were thwarted by transaction-verification errors, though I was successful in doing so on Nomadex.

I added assets to the VOI:GM, VOI:GROOVE, VOI:VBUX, and VOI:cool pools, and with the leftover VOI, I swapped half of it for another Voi asset, UNIT, and then I added all of it to the VOI:UNIT pool, so now I have modest liquidity in 5 different VOI pools. This is my first time managing liquidity pools that are part of another blockchain, so this was pretty exciting when I realized that I could do it as easily as I do it with Hive's Hive-Engine pools.

I don't have much idea of what the returns from my liquidity in these VOI pools might be yet, though they probably won't be large at my present liquidity, and I don't even presently know how to check that information, but that's OK, because I now have a way to generate Voi assets, VOI and other tokens, via Voi Fountain, and to leverage and grow them via diesel/liquidity pools. That means that I'm now officially building and growing in yet another blockchain ecosystem, which is quite nifty indeed!

The Voi Network now joins Hive, Blurt, Qortal, and Bastyon (I'll get back to DeSo at some point soon, too) as a blockain ecosystem where I am actively growing assets, which is very fitting indeed for a multi-blockchain strategic-synergistic asset leverager and investor like me! I explore, branch out, and integrate, creating new bases of asset generation as I go!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, fairly late due to lots of rain, around 2:30PM, giving my attention, as carefully as I could, to some wet, rainy-day photography for my posts. Once that was completed to my satisfaction, and with zero inspiration or motivation to work outside on the rain, I swept the Landing, made another batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn (for myself and others), and in a moment when the rain had stopped, I went to plant a few more medical plants from my nursery along the Flow-House trail. That's about the extent of my 'work' yesterday unfortunately, but I'm just not into working in the rain. After my trail planting, I cleaned up, made myself some food (2 spiced-and-seasoned mini-burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done very early indeed, by just after 7PM, and after some asset management (on Voi, too!), I went to bed by around 10:30PM. I woke up by about 5:30AM, going immediately to start the generator (since the solar-electrical system had crashed during the night), heading to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of these posts! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!

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!
