I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1521 - 36k HP Smashed, My Satsman Income Keeps Growing, and The Liquidity-Pool Agent Is Getting Close! - Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, September 17, 2026

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 8 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 blew past the significant milestone of 36,000 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, as I mentioned that I would in yesterday's post, so 36,100 Hive Power Should arrive by about the middle of the coming week. Now I've only got a little over 3,900 HP to go to reach my updated 2026 year-end goal of 40,000 Hive Power. Although it's not a given, I do have a very good chance of achieving it.

Regardless of the fiat price of HIVE, unlike many other Hivers, I've never stopped doing what I do on Hive every day, including publishing posts, engagement, and asset management, and that relentlessly-tenacious consistency has indeed paid off in very notable ways, as can be easily appreciated by looking at my present Hive Power. Building and growing during the worst of times often gives the best benefits indeed.

My Bitcoin sats earnings on Satsman are growing at a surprisingly rapid rate, in good part due to beast-mode Bradley (@bradleyarrow) below me going all in, and giving his all. He's seriously the best recruit anyone could ever want. At the moment, between my current and pending balances, I'm now up to 90,744 sats, which at the current market prices would come to a bit over $81. Not bad, not bad at all.

The new anonymous stealth (AI) model that I mentioned yesterday, Union Alpha, with which I was making huge progress in Hermes on our autonomous liquidity-pool agent, had a super-short preview period indeed, not even two days, in part because the aforementioned AI sleuths on X correctly identified it as not one model, but a synergy of various models working together via a routing gateway. With its free preview brought to an abrupt and, I switched back to using Kimi K3, which is still one of my top all-time favorites, and we're now getting very close to a final round of testing, and soon, full deployment.

I knew that creating an autonomous pool agent would be a pretty complex, multi-layered and multi-step process, and it has certainly been that, but working with capable models has made it go fairly smoothly, for which I'm super grateful. Distilling and condensing my experience, awareness, skill, and intuition with pool management into automated code is quite a huge task indeed, though it's become a real possibility working with Hermes Agent. We're getting there, one step at a time.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 1:15PM, and with the cloudy, rainy weather, I wasn't able to take any photos for my posts. I walked over to my friend Lea's property to assist her with various tasks both inside and around her house, and out on her land, and to share dinner with her afterward, which was lovely. I finally said my good byes and headed back to GaiaYoga by around 6:15PM, arriving back by about 6:30PM, and then I finally got to my evening Hive tasks by around 7PM. I got through all of my notifications by a bit after 9PM, and after working with Hermes for a bit more, I went to bed by just after 11PM, still with a headache, that I'd been experiencing on and off for two days now. My headache was pretty intense, so I wasn't able to sleep. I finally got up to go take a long, hot shower, which definitely helped. I finally was able to fall asleep, and when I woke up by a bit after 7AM, I was feeling so much better, heading to Wabisabi to prepare my superfood fire coffee, then returning to the Flow House to work with Hermes some more, and to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's a very good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
