(this is the #38 giveaway enabled post - check the giveaway details below)

April is gone! Dispersed like thin air... almost no time for anything without having to multitask heavily and stressing out.

But finally, some fresh air this extended weekend, before going back to the HPC migration race.

Some touch the sand moment, where the wide angle lenses make my legs look like chicken legs! 🤣

Looking up is rare for many, but I can tell you something... it does provide you with an insight of what in the hell is happening around you.

And even when watching Bluey with the little ones, you can suddenly look at their faces absorbing the excitement and fun of the show, and feel all that happiness and joy they are going through.

In short, enjoy every single moment of life. Life moves so fast!

I wish I could play games like in the past... very little time... but lately I have been recalling memories from when I played oGame in University times.

This is called MOON! (https://moon.hive.pizza), and everyone with a Hive account is a few clicks away from playing it (or even just trying it to see if you like).

It's free, you don't pay anything, and if you don't have a Hive account and you are reading this post, first go create a Hive account, you don't know what you are missing out and you can even start playing with just an email address.

Join my Alliance, "Black Diamond Rebels"... I will only ever accept a maximum of 69 members 🙃😎

It has been super fun so far...

Side kicking, I have been playing a bit of Anno, from time to time...

No time to continue anything this last month, and until my IRL work is more stable, I have to put a hold on it. And the only things I can commit to, for now, are this Giveaway post, because I don't want to make people think I am winding down... in terms of commitment to the chain. And I have been able to spend some time and even if with VERY slow progress on my node, for some upcoming disk upgrades I had planned for weeks now.

I am keeping an eye on the pools as over time new people tend to discover them... and because we are closer to the new period (3rd Phase) distribution (end of August), where 500k ATX are going to be added to the ATX:SWAP.HIVE pool, I want to be sure I can answer anyone's questions in case people don't find them on the GitBook. Which, by the way, is missing some costs... but I will add them eventually.

Side note to everyone onboard, just to keep things transparent.

Initially, when I created the pool, the launch value of ATX was 1 to 1 SWAP.HIVE (and at the time it was something like $0.29 per ATX). Some months later, people supported the initiative a lot, and the prices went considerably higher, and I have that value somewhere, but can't recall at the moment.

Currently, the value is a third of it, after one year and a half. Given that in a few months there is a large injection of ATX into the active distribution, I might speculate that prices might increase again, and then people might sell eventually (after August) to create profits (this is just my speculation).

The experiment has been quite successful in my view, and I appreciate everyone participating and supporting me with it. It has given me a lot of insights about what people have difficulty understanding when trying to learn about crypto and pools.

I will keep working on finding more use cases for it... my initial idea was to have it used (or cross-used) in more games on Hive, but reality is that I have been lacking time to even have those conversations with Hive game initiatives. The type of thing created with the MOON game I mentioned above is a perfect example of something I would like to do... (where in the MOON game, PIZZA token can be used to get buffs on the game).

In a sense, having "other games or ventures" use ATX token for some "fun" stuff... without impacting their projects too much. This widens the self-sufficiency of a token in general and hopefully demonstrates that collaboration is key on projects/ventures, etc. It's also a way for me to support other projects by having to commit my time to them (either testing stuff or participating and talking about it, which also helps in my view).

Anyways, I am here! If you have any desire to pair up some efforts, ping me. I am always happy to chat.

The ATX:BEER pool has been receiving some love from me... and I am going to keep buying some BEER time to time, and push some value into the only BEER pool. Once liquidity volume is above market volume, the transition will be interesting. I am eager to verify that process already tested on the ATX main pool.

Don't forget you can also get some ATX via the The #BeerSaturday Challenge!

I am also hearing some good vibes and signals about HiveFest 2025... Hopefully I can go again, because I really want to go again! 😍 And this year I have very important commitments with work, so I need to make preparations as soon as possible.

My 🖐️ motivation!

Have fun, play games, learn, and when possible, teach new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting this place can be.
