PowerUp Day 💪 Delegation Giveaway
🚨🧨💥 Engagement is Required ❗❗
😍 I am finally going to HiveFest!
I don't think it has sunk in yet... 🤭 The day I bought the tickets and accommodation, I was like on a mega Hype day 🤩, but then the idea I still had to wait all these days, stunned me and with the IRLW for this year (more below) and daily life took over (for now).
But, I know it will come back (the Hype) again! 😜 And the closer it gets the more excitement I know I will feel. The important part was to secure me going... and that's done... Just need to buy the @hivefest ticket, but that's the easy part.
How about you? Are you going to HiveFest⁹ in 2024?
(there is a poll at the end of this post, vote for it if you wish)
🧐 Update on ATX projects
For a few months now, I have been trying to get some sort of "new" version of delivering these giveaways, but the reality has been, that free time since 2023 has become fricking hard to manage. And I had to find many compromises to balance life and family.
The result was me doing a lot of "I need to pause this" announcements, to create free space for a "worry-free" mentality on my side of things. That didn't mean I could not get back to things at a later stage, but I had to take it out of my head at least, to feel comfortable with what I was doing.
Having that said, this means I will most likely have to continue with this format for a bit more months (especially with the work I am going to have this and next year). Yes, no progress this month (I will stop saying it, alright! 😅).
Rest assured whenever possible I will dedicate time, and I know this looks like a lame excuse, but it's the only explanation I can provide for now. You can try to harass me on @hivefest for more information if you can! 🤣
Seriously, when possible I will provide more updates. Just wanted to set the scene right for now... to stop repeating myself.
At least I know I can commit to these giveaway posts... that's not going away! Also because I enjoy doing them and it's an opportunity for me to blog about the monthly activity on my end.
😎 But ATX's not just that!
I have other things under the hood being cooked, mostly over the collaboration arena, where others will be receiving my support, to the best of my capability, with always some theme around teaching the community about blockchain (and technology) in general and providing some sort of excitement, and fun!
And that can be interpreted both as something I do on my daily/weekly/whatever basis, or specific projects with specific people on this chain.
That's ATX in a nutshell for now... hope it helps!
It has been a while since I haven't done one, and because this year I am going to HiveFest⁹, this a great occasion to mark the moment. So, stay tuned for a follow-up post where I will announce it. I will also add it to the usual page where the rules are and you can check the current available #NFTs (see the image example below, where if you click on it, it will forward you to the rules too).
Plenty will be made available, for a much more accessible contribution than before, and some lucky ones will even have it for free, because of how many times they have made Legendary PowerUps in this #HPUD #PowerUp #Giveaway!
📦 A journey awaits me...
Not very specific, because I can't be yet. But IRLW has changed quite a lot for me in 2023, and with it the opportunity (hopefully) for the first time in my career to achieve the dream I had, of doing what I always wanted since I arrived in New Zealand some years ago.
And these things (especially in my area) take quite a good time to happen and suck a lot of mental readiness and disposition, especially when you are doing what you really like, trying to change things for the best, bla bla blah... When I can, I will let you know. Hence a bit of why my time has been gradually adapting!
For the ones that don't know me, and in order for the above to (maybe) make some more sense, I work in HPC (High Performance Computing), aka 'very large machines' or as we all used to call it in the past, Supercomputers! These run many types of workloads of diverse natures, usually tailored for research, but not just.
And before you ask, NO, we don't run cryptocurrency miners on it... 🤦♂️ - if one would understand the efficiency of cryptocurrency mining, then those persons would understand why it would not even be profitable on HPC Infrastructure. Even if some dumb idiots tried in the past...
These beasts can go from a few thousand cores using many machines in parallel (connected by high-speed networks) to millions of cores, and obviously lately, also GPUs or as many in this Industry call them, "accelerators". They often have an interesting amount of RAM in total (from Terabytes to Petabytes depending on the type of workloads to address) and from a few hundred kilowatts to several megawatts of power consumption.
And storage wise (my area of proficiency), Petabytes in terms of fast accessible storage (microseconds to milliseconds of access times), and tens to thousands of Petabytes of archive storage, commonly known as Tape (where in some places of the world it will be Exabytes).
(from Frontier, an exascale-class machine at Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
Not that I deal with "even near scale" like this IRL, but just for you to check out some examples of the largest Supercomputers around the world, on what we (HPC Engineers) know as the ranking for Supercomputers, the Top500.
Sounds exciting? yep... it is (for me at least)! And if you are coming to @hivefest I am more than happy to delve into the world I am in... 😇
😊 See you in the next one 😉
And if you haven't yet bought your HiveFest⁹ ticket, be aware that you can do so, using either HBD or HIVE.
Maybe I will see you there... 🤟
My 🖐️ motivation!
Have fun, play games, learn, and when possible, teach new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting this place can be.

Hi mate, glad you got your hivefest plans worked out, I won’t be going, it’s just too far to travel for me. I mentioned to gtg about bringing it to Adelaide in the future, we got great beaches here too.
I will be interested in seeing the new ATX nft, keep up the good work.
I was looking into running a hive-engine validator is there much to it?
I know! Hence why this year its like a crazy year for me. Don't get me wrong, its a massive expense... especially for us this far apart. But I just had too long passing by... and I could not take it anymore.
Maybe next year it's on Australia or New Zealand! And if so, I would 100000% go again obviously.
Will try to convince @roelandp 😜
I will reach out to you with this info. With a light node, not much is required. Reach out on Discord, and I can give you some pointers. Usually the disk part is the hard part with these huge databases, but the light node allows you to just run the last few "most useful/used" blocks, and discards away the need to have the entire blockchain (2nd layer in this case).
Bother me as much as you need with this. I don't get daily updates on replies lately, but on the weekend, I am pretty quick.
i sent you a dm and friend request on discord

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 30/60) Liquid rewards.
😎 🤟 - hopefully will meet you there!
ATX I just remembered I have my NFT.
(edit)
I think I missed the draw. oh well
I also work in HPC (Hive Power Compounding 😄... bad joke sorry). I don't know if I'll be able to make it to Hive Fest yet. Transatlantic travel can be a bit on the pricey side. We will see.
Also, voted for your witness. peace!
Hey, appreciated! !PIMP
I never thought about HPC in that way, but it aligns with me 😜
Ideally, where I want things to end up, people will not have to worry more about forgetting to participate in my giveaways. I will still incite people to participate in things, with some extra rewards obviously, but avoid that specific time period for the power-up.
When is the problem... not sure when I will have time for these... but apparently, when I am sick, I am more productive on everything else besides IRLW. 😅

Supercomputers! No wonder you are so knowledgeable in tech! Your profession is so awesome! 👏
I wish I can go to Hive Fest but I can’t 🥲 So have fun there and keep us in the loop!

One day! Right? Still pending me going to Japan... too... on my list for a very long time... since I was kid, and wished to visit all "Disney Lands" places.
Very interesting, what you are doing.
Not sure if I will go to HiveFest.
Done HPU today and thanks for your delegation last month.

Have a nice weekend.
I am sick, and so are most of the people in the house. But that's brought me a few more excuses to check things around on #hive.
You can enter this month one too 😏 and the special word on the #NFT's some people neglect how cheap they can be... for the impact they have. Plus, for me, it is more the exercise of people checking them out. Trying to allow some room for exploration.
Forgot to say: Thanks for the ATX 😀
Wow, your job looks super-cool! Quantum Computers are somehow linked to those Supercomputers or they are two completely different worlds?
I'm eager to read a post of yours about your experience at HiveFest :) it's almost the time to go there for you! Maybe one day I'll be able to join it too!

Different technologies for now, but eventually they will start to overlap more often. They are considered a "kind" of accelerator. In a sense... but way more specialized and "more expensive". I have never worked with such, but I am sure those days are close... maybe in the next 5 to 10 years.
I will do my best on the @forkyishere account. Ideally that's where I want to record the experience, because that's where I am going to buy my ticket.
This is like a very awaited time for me... been too many times I could not go, for so many reasons (not that this one was easy to pull off, but now its a reality).
Cheers mate! !BEER and !WINE, whatever makes the rounds... 😛
It would be really cool to witness it! Supercomputers and Quantum Computers both seem capable of pushing technology towards new highs!
From NZ it's a long journey, but I'm happy for you that you managed to pull it off :)
!PIZZA !LOL

Hope you can attend one day, either way, I will do my best to share the excitement beforehand and during the process, through @forkyishere.

@libertycrypto27, the HiQ Smart Bot has recognized your request (1/2) but the mana is too low. Try again later.
As a consolation, @libertycrypto27 gets !PIZZA from @hiq.redaktion.

I hope I will make it to the HiveFest and it will be great to meet there! 🙂
Always open for collaboration, we just have to find a common ground and do it! 🙂
That's part of the expectation I have by meeting you all there.
This is the closest Hive Fest I could go to and yet the one that is the furthest away. I will be in France for a family vacation and I can not go. I will join and listen to some of the presentations from the woods of Fontainebleau
I will also not be able to make it this year.. But I seriously hope you'll go to the Buzzparty2025 in Graz! :D
voted yes. just not sure for how many days and how :) if it was only 5 days later :)
Appreciate man! And it will be nice to meet you there.
Does make a huge diff when people vote with their stake, and I wanted to understand how much impact this makes on people's minds when seeing both views.
I don't want people to look at this necessarily as a problem, or hype thing, but mostly as a different view, or perspective.
Incredible!!! I would love to go! I am going next year (planning to!) just can't quite get the funds together for this years! It will be awesome, can't wait to hear how it goes!
Hi, right now it's only possible to go to a festival if it's in Venezuela and in my city and near my house.... hahaha but soon when I have the chance to travel I'm sure I'll go...
What do they do with such huge computers? What are they for?
Many things... mostly is used for doing research... running very large applications that require a lot of computation. But not only for that...
I'm always thrilled about the news of hive Fest and the event, although I've not attended any and won't be attending this either, but mostly follow up via live stream aired on YouTube and co.

Cheers mate.
This sounds veeeery exciting! Never attended HiveFest, I would love to read about your experience though! Happy power up day!
ATX
I will share whatever I can over @forkyishere, and if you can vote for the poll above, I would appreciate. Want that poll to feel/represent a different way to see who's going. Costs nothing to vote... just a poll.
Done!
One fine day, HIVEFest will end up in my country and I'll be able to pop by! 🤣 ATX
I have been quite all this time waiting for the same... not yet!
But I am a believer like you, ONE day! !BEER
This post is hard for æe to read (or even have available) on my phone. Will read properly when I'm at my computer. The entire content is jumbled on the one I have found, but a comment makes me think I should type ATX here 😆
Here to read, but will read later 😁
Just checking if you managed to read it! !LOL 🤣
Done! Very interesting 👌🏼
Are you actually doing an ATX trademark?!
And also coming to Croatia from NZ? 🤯
My own stuff ATX yep (drawing is my own)... for now, a purely decentralized thing in terms of what I intend the community to own.
But I am keeping my own reference of the direction, in terms of influence/help into what I think I can contribute with.
The travel thing yep... 😏🤯 - it's going to be recorded forever in my heart and mind!
I so hope I'm able to be there too! 🙌🏼
Not yet, haven't been at my own computer yet. Will check within the hour 😁
I have the same wish that one day I must meet all the people I have been working with for a long time and the way we know that everyone has a power-up, that's a good thing. It will also increase the cost of the project.
Didn't understand this part?
Anyhow, once you have the chance, definitely get a chance to attend. I have never attended IRL, but I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience.

Best of luck my friend! Have a wonderful hivefest. I hope it (the fest) will be beneficial for hive community.
Hopefully to me as well! I mean, Not that I am expecting any kind of reward (besides hype and excitement) but people want to go there also because they either "can" and/or are willing to meet with people in a special situation/event.
So, in my view it would not just be for the general community interest (for the event to happen in my view), but FOR the community that wants to participate in it.
These are always complicated feelings to express, right? Anyhow, I am happy to say that I am going because I want to! And that is something many should think about.
