RE: Trying this via 😎 Snapie (Call 4 Action) 💪

Well, I hope it was clear that with this kind of question I did not expect a short and easy answer. Instead I wanted to open up a discussion, sort of like what we are having.

This is my way 🫡 - even if deferred due to time zones.

I guess it goes back to my realization a few weeks ago, about Hive ... well, not being as hopping of a place as it used to be. Projects have failed (as they typically do, but it seemed like this happened more than they succeeded lately), the price of the coin is in the gutters (not something that has truly bothered me as much as others), and many amazing people have left (this is actually what I find most discouraging, and it is probably tied closely to the first two factors). Still, all of these things are not enough to get me to throw the towel, so I'm still here, along with a handful like minded Hivers. What now?

Things changed... the lower prices filtered a couple of people I guess. But whom knows what is being achieved, may want to stay at "many costs", due to what people understand that is being done. And I can't convince people (should not), I can only teach people to verify.

I can keep feeding you projects almost every day until the end of the year if you want :D LOL (kidding). But in terms of rate, and if we consider they are "little projects/tools", then it's real... like the one I made recently about transactions... There is a point with this one (but later). The AI stuff just made super simple to create on top of Hive (which has basically zero costs).

If you fancy taking a bite at that kind of thing, I have created a recent post teasing people to JUST try it! here... if you try it, drop it below that post for me to test it, please.

So again, this is not like a clear and distinct answer to your questions (to my question). It is much rather supposed to add to the big picture and lead the discussion hopefully to somewhere inspiring.

You gave me just the right picture. Thanks. And I will get back to you... I need some time to think about it. Also, because it's quite late here, and at these hours, I am not really thinking too hard anymore (unless on urgent matters, where my survival instinct kicks in, like in most humans).

But thanks for sharing these. Let's keep chatting. I have some ideas already, but I need to form a consensus in my head.

Hey, I just tried to vote for you, but it says you are disabled as a witness. Why? How? What does that mean anyway?

I figured most people might hit this problem (but thanks for verifying). I had this account as my initial witness in a very long time ago... but because of the way I like to separate things (I like to separate things into separate accounts for a diverse multitude of technical reasons).

As my info says on this account, my witness is at @atexoras.witness (and on that witness, if you vote via Peakd, for example, it will state that this is me) - but keep on verifying (always best). There are lots of scammy people out there.

I sort of tried making this simpler, and I know it plays a little bit against me (using different accounts) in terms of votes, but I am fine with that, because the ones that vote, I know they are voting because they want and know who I am, and they are not doing it because of any interests. Which is what I want anyway.

Anyhow, appreciate your vote, especially when you have already voted for 30 witnesses (well done). And I am fine if you don't... I always say... I am here because I want, not because I need. 🫡

Will get back to you!

EDIT: almost forgot... the Hive Transactions Flow is sort of an effort I am making to show (aka prove) people that people can create a project with ZERO costs, even on its initial maintenance initiative. It's still ongoing, and I have been slowed down by the website company I am using, most likely, but I don't care, I have another way to continue within the same premises. I will update people in due time about it, and open source the code once I am happy with people trying it for fun.
