🐝 Saturday Savers Week 47 — All Flags Still Green!
TLDR; Nice week, goals already done, busy days in real life, witnesses keep running, tools keep growing, and saving continues while the 2026 goals slowly take shape for next years #saturdaysavers !. Life Before Hive… but Hive still gets plenty of love.
Alright, deep breath… here we go.
Man, what a week again. Sometimes you get these weeks where you just think: “Good thing I finished all my goals last week, because otherwise this would have turned into a gigantic train wreck.” And yeah… this was one of those.
Hive goals: all completed, every single one
15000 HP? Check.250 EDSI? Check.BBHO, BXT, LEO? Check, check, check.
The table basically mocks me at this point. Everything is green. So green an avocado would get jealous. And the funniest part? I barely moved forward this week… but it doesn’t matter anymore. “Mission accomplished,” and the train still keeps rolling.
Life… that thing happening between all the hivin’
This week was more “care team” than “tech team.” Our youngest son had surgery on Thursday, which, understated version, required quite a bit of logistics and problem-solving for me and @nathalie-s. Our daughter still has a long road ahead too, so lots of appointments, measurements, medical talks, and admin.
And then suddenly… HELLO hard fork! My witness still half in its pajamas, Hive already rebooting, and I had exactly zero time. But look: the @botlord witness survived it, is running smoothly again, and syncing like nothing happened.
Voting is still allowed, of course 😉 👉 https://peakd.com/witnesses 👉 https://ecency.com/witnesses (scroll down a bit to find @botlord)
Coding: “in between everything” is still work
There I was: kid in pain on the left, stress on the right, Hive Engine on fire again in the background… And still, I pushed an update to the Tipping Bots Tool: 👉 https://tipping.botlord.eu More bots, more info, correct instructions, more things that actually work.
The payout scripts, on the other hand… well… let’s just say this week was “shit happens × rate limits × human error.” But hey, that’s how learning works. Trial, error, facepalm, fix, and repeat.
The numbers?
Honestly? Pretty good:
HP slightly up, doesn’t need to go higher anymore. Well, it does. A lot, but not for reaching THIS goal.
EDSI moving into “overachiever” territory
BXT stable
All systems still green
And let’s be real: when all your goals are reached, +118 HP feels just as good as +1180 HP.
2026 goals are starting to bubble up
And now… what’s next?
25000 HP?
30000 HP?
1500 HBD? 2000? 2500?
Stack more DUO?
GIFU maybe?
BBHO always welcome.
And the big BXT question…
Still not sure about BXT. The drip is nice (0.4/day), but Beeswap having random coma attacks doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
But first: rest, family, health. The goals are done. Time to breathe. And after that? 2026 baby! We’re going to smash that one too.

You're just showing off now..lol! Thankfully I'm on track to reach my 2025 goals for HP and HBD in Savings before mid December. Regarding BXT, given the attitude of the fellow that runs it, and it's unreliability, I'm unstaking all my BXT, and I'm going to swap it for DBOND/DAB/RUG, which give comparable returns, they're run by solid people who communicate, and they are far more reliable. I'm curious what makes you interested in GIFU? Since the BRO project was very much involved with that, I liquidated all mine. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!ALIVE
!BBH

!ZOMBIE
Yup, this was nothing but a showing-off post indeed :-) Maybe I should pause posting for the Saturday Savers until next year :-D
For BXT, thinking about doing the same indeed… The instability of the platform (still like it though, so a real pity!), the unreliability and lack of communication of the fellow… yeah…
And indeed, the DBOnD/DAB/RUG people and EDSI people are much better at all that.
As for Gifu… well… The Bro guy was involved in it indeed, but the other guys are now seeing to revive it I’ve heard…
!BBH
!STRIDE

Hahaha...I would be doing it too, so enjoy it! Maybe start running some projections, and hashing out new potential goals, with their respective benefits?
Dude, I'm so sad about BeeSwap and BXT, because I really love both of them, and it's a fantastic system, so you're right, it's a huge pity indeed! My 916 BXT unstakes tomorrow morning, and I'm revving to go! It's going to take a bit to get enough DAB for the same kind of HIVE payouts that I used to receive for my BXT, but the cool thing about it is that DBOND and DAB feed into, and compound each other, so they'll both just keep growing. OK, that's good to know about GIFU. I'll let it accumulate again and add it back into the pool. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!HOPE
!INDEED
!STRIDE
!ZOMBIE
That's indeed a good idea, some more of the projections like I did with EDSD vs HBD recently... Yup, will do some more of that ;-)
Yeah, feeling the same about BXT & Beeswap, and in a way I'm thinking of just leaving it there, hoping that his spirit picks up again. On the other hand, it is not just a little, and I would hate to see the money go up in smoke as well...
DBOND/DAB are in my fav list as well, and I love the setup of that system, but might also go for DUO or EDSI again...

I'm glad that you like it, and yes, exactly. I think that it will give you some good information that will help you decide more easily.
Yes, I thought about just leaving my BXT staked, and what I had in the pool, but it was a big investment for me that had a purpose, that worked great for long stretches of time, but always with the breaks in payouts. It was the attitude of the fellow who runs it that was the straw that broke the camel's back, as the saying goes. I did my BXT-to-DBOND-DAB-RUB switcheroo this morning, right after I saw your news about the witness, so now I have a good bit of all three of those, though the price of BXT dropped during the night, so I definitely got less SWAP.HIVE for it than I would have liked, but that's often how playing with layer-2 tokens goes, so I've gotten used to it. I love EDSI and DUO too, for sure, and I'm still slowly going deeper in both of those too. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Damn… I guess I should’ve reacted to the BXT thing sooner! Well, still have to react to it to be honest… Damn office days with very limited connectivity! I see the price has almost fallen 40%…
DAB, here I come :-)

I feel ya, believe me. Thankfully it only takes 3 days to unstake in full. Yep, it's under 1 SWAP.HIVE again. I've got to say that DBOND/DAB/RUG still confuse me a fair bit, since the various payouts seem quite inconsistent. For example, even with the 66+ DAB sitting on this account , and 4+ sitting on @aliveandthriving, I still haven't seen any incoming HIVE transactions from @dab-treasury, and yet, when I look at others with comparable or even fewer liquid DAB, they are receiving HIVE payouts, so I honestly have no idea what is going on at the moment...lol! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!HOPE

!ZOMBIE
Ok, that's weird indeed! I do get daily HIVE payouts for my DAB, and I have very little indeed, as I had mostly staked it...
How does RUG come into play btw? I haven't looked into that one yet...
!HOPE

It's super weird! It's like the payout script isn't picking up new accounts with valid holdings.
RUG gives DBOND, so it's a way to be able to stake your DAB, and still grow DBOND. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!ALIVE
!BBH
!PIZZA
!ZOMBIE
Aha!! Didn't know about that one :-) Interesting for sure!
Yeah, the DAB thing isn't always as... well... recurring? :-)
I was just checking the DAB payout for my DBOND holdings:

But seems a bit off...

Thankfully I found a better Discord server to use to mention issues and to ask question, The Pub. They were aware of the missed payouts, and it got fixed today, so makeup payments were sent out, in addition to the payouts for today. It's a solid token and project, but yes, it does have lapses, but at least they're made up, unlike missed payouts from BXT. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
!BEER

That's the most important part! The fact that they're corrected afterwards ;-)
Yeah, The Pub, I was invited there as well, for some of the Gifu things :-)

Pleasure.
The BEER token tipping command on your comment there didn't work. 🤔🤯 Maybe that's because the BEER bot detected at least one other bot command on the same comment (three "excess" commands in fact). 🍺🤯😅
Anyway, !HOPE that you finally are able to mine HBIT again today (UTC)! 🤗😏

Possibly... I could discuss it with detlev over a beer again day :-D lol
And yup, I did mine !HBIT already today!! Thanks for that!

Do you mean that you would talk to the BEER token tipping bot operator about allowing at least one other bot command on the same comment as the BEER tipping command? 🤯
Anyway, before @savvytester checks your Hive comments feed and reminds you to mine HBIT today (UTC), here's my own reminder for you for it! 😅
!WEIRD !INDEED !HOPE !PIZZA
Ah! You were too late yesterday, or too early today :-) I've just mined my HBIT :-D

You replied to my previous comment about 14 hours after I had it published, so you thought that my reminder for you to mine HBIT yesterday (UTC) was too late for that day or too early for today. 🤯 Anyway, I see that you have successfully mined HBIT today. 😎
Do you mean that BEER is better when shared with other Hive tipping tokens such as !PIZZA? 😅

I also saw your wife @nathalie-s's Hive Witness node, and I have voted for it! 😎
I really think that @tydynrain would like to vote for her Hive account too as Hive Witness! 😅
!HOPE !INDEED !WEIRD !ALIVE !PIZZA
Indeed, I saw her node, and I do want to vote for her too, though I'm always maxed out on witness votes, and I've already reshuffled them a bit, so it's more a question of from whom do I take a vote to give to Nathalie? 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I suggest removing one of your votes from the Top 20 Hive Witnesses, since they won't need it anyway (at least at present). 🤔 You can then vote for the Witness node of @borniet's wife to help bring her Hive account's Witness ranking (slightly) higher !INDEED. 😎
!HOPE !WEIRD !ALIVE !WINEX
I'll look over my votes again to see if I can swap one. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder if you have successfully swapped one of your Hive Witness votes for Bjorn's wife's Hive account. 🤔 If I tag Nathalie's Hive account here, it is likely that she would see this comment and curate this. 😆
!HOPE !INDEED !WEIRD !ALIVE !WINEX
I've looked down the list a few more times, as I'm checking the status of our witness fairly often, but I haven't decided which witness from which to remove my vote yet. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I can try to suggest a Hive Witness vote that you can remove from your votes, though you and/or the Hive Witness in question might get disappointed. 😨 I would stick with the fact though that the Top 20 (or more precisely, Top 10) Hive Witnesses practically won't get affected at all if you remove a vote there. 😅

I switched a vote to her witness today. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I saw that you removed your vote from the Hive Witness who is currently at the 22nd rank of all the Witness nodes. 😅

I thought that you removed a vote from one of the Top 20 Hive Witnesses, but it's okay whoever you remove your witness vote from. 🧘♂️ As long as it's not from one of Bjorn's nodes! 😆
!WEIRD !INDEED !PIZZA !ALIVE !WINEX
I didn't want to remove my vote from any of those in the top 20, so I went just outside of it. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I assume that if you want to vote another Hive Witness (likely another node set up by Bjorn), then you would remove another vote somewhere near (but not within) the Top 20. 😏

Honestly I'm not crazy about multiple nodes like that, as it dilutes the votes too much. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Bjorn so far has two Hive Witness nodes operational, one of which is his personal node, and the other is for the !ALIVE and MMB "partnership" !INDEED. 🤓 I wonder which community (or communities) on Hive the next one will represent. 😆

I wonder why you didn't publish even just one post for her Hive Witness node, or at least mention it on your replies to your favorite Hive authors !INDEED. 🤯😅
!WEIRD !HOPE !PIZZA !ALIVE
I had indeed considered doing so, but I want her to be able to start with it herself first. Once she has kicked it off, I will promote it as well, but until then, I want to keep it low key, I don't want to steal that from her. And currently, the home situation is hefty enough for her to think about without the need for this to be added. But when people ask about it, I won't deny, and I won't stop other people from voting on it (on the contrary!), but I won't start with it yet. It's... well... weird perhaps, difficult to explain...

Yeah, I thought I'd noticed something like that already with the LOLZ Bot... Some systems had some issues after the HF, but I thought the LOLZ bot worked after that, no?

!BRAINDEAD
!INDEED
If I recall correctly, @savvytester told me that the LOLZ token tipping bot continued to work for a short time after the 28th Hive Hard Fork, though it eventually failed after a few days. 🤯 @captaincryptic who is the owner/operator of the LOLZ bots configured the LOLZ tipping bot in such a way that when it goes down and goes up again, it will try to catch up to LOLZ token tipping commands while it was down. 🤓
!INDEED !HOPE !WEIRD !PIZZA !ALIVE
Yes, I've noticed the catch-up there as well indeed. I've done the same for my bots, it keeps track of the last block that it worked on, but out of testing I've noticed that I had to put in a treshold of about 3 days of delay, or it couldn't catch back up in a reasonable time.
We'll see, because it has been offline for quite a while now...

You are doing good man, despite the odds. Life is busy sometimes, and when it is, it is really piling up. But then some relaxing time may come too.
