I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1331 - The Loss of BeeSwap, Adapting Without It, and My Desire to Recreate It - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, March 20, 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

BeeSwap, the best asset-management frontend for Hive by far, is now gone, possibly permanently, and its loss to our Blockchain Ecosystem is huge, and is very deeply felt (by me at least). Last night and this morning I've been exploring and experimenting with other ways to do my daily and weekly asset management without it, as I do my best to find another asset-management workflow that works. I've hit upon one way to get what I need done, but it unfortunately takes much more time, because of the inefficiencies of the frontends used.

BeeSwap made my asset-management process so much quicker and easier, so trying to do so via other frontends is, well, pretty frusfrating, because how things are implemened makes everything take so much more time. I appreciate Tribaldex and Hive Engine, and I'm very grateful that they're available, but damn do I miss BeeSwap.

Without BeeSwap, I may indeed need to spread out my asset management over time a bit more, especially for the We Are Alive Tribe, as with the currently available tools, I'm not able to get through everything within the same amount of time. I have no idea yet how my thorough asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe on Sunday will go, and honestly I'm not looking forward to it, because I know what I have in store.

I've mentioned multiple times in previous posts that I really want to create a better version of BeeSwap, one that keeps BeeSwap's essential functionality, fixes the few annoying bugs, and that integrates missing and useful functionality from Tribaldex and Hive Engine. This has been a strong desire within me for quite some time, and now, with the disappearance of BeeSwap, it's jumping up in my face, demanding attention.

I just had an intuition to do a quick search for 'BeeSwap' in the title of people's Hive posts, and not surprisingly, @ecoinstant and @thecrazygm have already spun up an initial replacement for some of BeeSwap's functionality, RIP Beeswap - Crypto-Dreamr remembers. This is excellent, and I'll certainly use it, though I think that an improved full-featured asset-management frontend, is still needed. We've got lots of exceptional coders here on Hive, several of which I know, and I would love to see a greater community collaboration, to recreate and expand BeeSwap's glorious functionality in an even better implementation.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Kasbah, after completing some of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I enlisted Avi's assistance to make a few important repairs to the Flow House. There are still a few more to go, but progress is being made. After working on the Flow House, and a few other small jungle-community tasks, I headed to Wabisabi to make myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I returned to the Kasbah to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by around 10PM, and after some much-slower asset management (I did our community accounts, but left mine own for this morning), I went to bed by just before 11:45PM. I woke up about 7AM, having slept well, doing more slower asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then heading back to the Kasbah to write this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's a great 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 Kasbah a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on more photography for my posts, and then on jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

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!
