Alive & Thriving Staking FriYay : Got Robbed on Hive 😭|| AATYr6 || Prompt A Day 😊
Sadly, I intentionally missed my post yesterday as I was totally out of my element. Murphy's Law -- that adage that "anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Yeah that's like my day yesterday. 😒 First let me roll back to two days ago when I could not log in using Hive keychain. I wasn't sure why but it was all working one day and the next not. I missed logging into Rising Star game so I did ask on discord. I was referred to the Hive keychain discord where I asked about my issue. That was where my trouble really got worse. It turned out there were prowlers there -- more like predators waiting to pounce on anyone needing assistance. I know I will sound pretty stupid but I made a mistake of clicking on a tech support link that I thought was authentically #open-ticket-support. It was another discord server that looked genuine with mods assisting on the issue. They had this web3 dapp page that has a lot of well-known wallet icons. I was supposed to link / connect my wallet. I don't know why I did not get suspicious right away but I was also having trouble with my Internet connection going down so I had to switch to mobile data that makes everything work slower. Yada yada yada. Long story short I totally got duped in giving access to my Hive wallet. 😔 I found out a little too late that the liquid Hive I've been saving plus a little HBD have been siphoned off to some new account with 13w's 😖
There went my hard and long earned Hive and HBD on the blockchain. I've been saving those for emergencies. It's really sad. If I had the tech skills these cyber thieves have, I'd use it to build communities that promote growth -- one that will help give rather than just take from others. 🙄
Sadly, I got some tokens stolen as well. I know I've worked hard and consistently on growing my account and assets on Hive. This may be a tragic turn of events, but I'm treating it as if I was hit by a hurricane and got some valuables wiped out. I'm still around so I know I can somehow rebuild slowly and surely. One task at a time... one day at a time...
One other downturn are my daily steps. These two days are the last that I reached my 5K daily steps. It's actually getting hotter these days. The past few days I've been making adjustments to the amount of time I spend walking outside. I end up being too sweaty if I push myself to reach my target steps so I scale down a little...
These so far have been my best steps. I'm thinking of making some adjustments like perhaps walk inside the flat when my cooling system is on. 🤔 That's my other best alternative. I guess I will test it first if it works.

Ahhh this is interesting that spring must be such a good season to be outdoors. Wish I could say the same here esp. now that summer is starting to get warmer by the day. My room temp is now reaching 35C again. Believe me, that's not at all comfortable. I'm forced to turn on the cooling system to make myself feel a little comfort at least. Boy, it really is hot out there. I do go up to the rooftop to splash water above our flat around noon time. Now I make it a point to do it quickly. Can't stay out too long in the heat.
We say good-bye to March in four days. Amazing how time flies by, huh?! I know I'm still sad about my recent tragic Hive disaster, but I have lost something more valuable before and that's my mom. Somehow that's the saddest loss I have ever experienced that I have not totally healed, and it's been almost five years. 😢 one day at a time...
Over the weekend I actually completed a 30-day consecutive log in on FAFY and got more credits for ads. This will help my LL coop promotions earnings.
Four Fridays now complete on LL. Time to share my earnings from LL coop link promotions. I finally got a higher earning this past week. I've now pushed past $4 on LL. Next goal is reach $5.
Well since I lost my liquid ALIVE, I had to make some adjustments to my diesel pools and got some more ALIVE tokens from there. I will just put them back when I'm ready. Can't miss doing my weekly ALIVE tokens stake. Added another 110 ALIVE tokens (now 51.2K staked & 23K delegated). Onwards to rebuilding what I've lost... 🙏❤️💡

That's it for me today. It's a wrap. Just glad it's almost another weekend. It's Palm Sunday this coming Sunday. I'd need to get a new palm frond to replace the old one from last year. Let's see how that goes. Here's to wishing you a wonderful weekend. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋

iamraincrystal, you mined 1.0 🟧 HBIT If you had replied to another Hive user, the HBIT would have been split: 0.9 for you and 0.1 for them as a tip. When you mine HBIT, you're also playing the Wusang: Isle of Blaq game. 🏴☠️ | tools | wallet | discord | community | daily <><
What's more, you found 1.0 ⚪ BLAQ pearl as a bonus treasure token!
Your random number was 0.3241330010553095, also viewable in the Discord server, #hbit-wusang-log channel. Check for bonus treasure tokens by entering your username at block explorer A, explorer B, or take a look at your wallet.
There is a treasure chest of bitcoin sats hidden in Wusang: Isle of Blaq. Happy treasure hunting! 😃 Read about Hivebits (HBIT) or read the story of Wusang: Isle of Blaq.
OMG, I’m really sorry for your loss, @iamraincrystal. Unfortunately, scammers are everywhere, and we need to be more cautious when dealing with blockchains. There were some red flags that were easy to miss, and they took advantage of that.
I know it’s hard to see your hard earned assets disappear like that. Take it as a lesson, and I’m sure you can recover what you’ve lost over time.

Sorry for your financial loss. Honestly I am afraid of what is coming with AI assisted scams. You can not trust anything these days except in person communication. Even a phone call from your loved one can be faked...
True that does sound scary. Nothing beats in person communication. It's best as you can even see the other person's expressions and all. I'm not too aware of AI assisted scams. I've learned a very costly mistake of not asking help via discord anymore except for closed communities like my own. Life! lesson learned !INDEED 😒
have a wonderful weekend 🎉 !PEPE

So sorry about your loss, i really agree with you we need to build a community that does not have this as soon as i have the time we need to set a secure tech support for our community members.
It is always best practice to double check who we are corresponding with and sharing details with this is not a safe world.
There are many bad characters on the internet and especially on Hive unfortunately.

It would be good if we do the tech support from inside our tribe. It seems these predators were really targeting those seeking support. It's pretty scary and at the same time disappointing. I've very little faith in humanity left and then this happens. !LOL 😛 that's life.. it's a costly life lesson !INDEED

Such heartless individuals!! So sorry about that, it's painful to see your hard labor of day and night just disappear into tin air in your very eye. Consider it as a stepping stone to double progress.

You are welcome, sorry about the situation and I hope many others will learn.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you.
It's incredibly frustrating and daunting to fall victim to these types of scams (I was also the victim of a robbery a few weeks ago), especially when you've worked so hard to build something.
But your attitude in the face of this adversity is admirable.
Recognizing that even though you've lost something valuable, you have the strength to move forward and rebuild what was lost is a sign of great resilience.

Sad new to read about your trouble, but great you did not lose your account all together! Did you have the recovery account option set up
