My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report | Powered up 200 Hive Today is the start of a brand new month. Every month first day is the Hive power-up day. This month again I'm participating by powering up 200 Hive. I have been participating since last year and I'm continuing to do so. Usually, I do only 100 Hive a month but I have powered up 200 Hive to reach my goal for the year sooner than planned. Today is also the day I share the progress on my weekly Hive goals. I thought I…
I made decent progress with my Hive goals. Today is Hive power Up day and I have powered up 200 Hive there and my weekly progress is also looking good. Did you power up your hive today? https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-or-powered-up-200-hive #Leofinance
No big surprises today except for a Rare card. I guess the price of SPS is also going down gradually and the SPS issued every day is also gradually reducing unless we grow our account. Let's see how long the price of SPS can sustain. #Splinterlands
What an amazing thing? Hive is now ranked at number 5 in Blocktivity because of splinterlands. The number of transactions or activity on Hive has considerably increased in the last few days because of Splinterlands. Good times for Hive. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/hive-is-ranked-number-5-in-blocktivity-because-of-splinterlands #Splinterlands
Hive is ranked number 5 in Blocktivity because of Splinterlands Blocktivity is the site that ranks blockchain based on the activity. There are times when the activity is huge on some chains and there are times when the activity goes down on some chains. The price of the token can also be one of the major contributing factors to this. I was surprised to see Hive at number 5 in terms of activity. I saw this shared by @therealwolf on Twitter. When he actually shared it, Hive…
The SPS staking rewards have started coming in. I initially staked 100 SPS and then increased it to 600 and then thought I should keep staking as long as the APR is good. Anything over 500 APR is juicy I believe. I will most probably be staking tomorrow as well. #Splinterlands
Some good to have challenges right now on Splinterlands Though we are all enjoying the rewards and the market cap of Splinterlands, there are a few challenges the splinterlands players are facing right now. I know that it is a good time for all the players but not the greatest because of these challenges. I'm going to be talking about some of those challenges in this post. We are getting some juicy rewards already from Splinterlands, the market cap has increased and the…
Splinterlands is still the talk of the town. The game is getting a lot of new players in the last few days. 25000 new players is not a simple number. That also brings challenges to the game team, the existing players, and the new players as well. Read more in the below article. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/some-good-to-have-challenges-right-now-on-splinterlands #Splinterlands
Don't buy crypto, Earn it! If it was a few years before, I would have suggested investing in crypto by purchasing Crypto. But today we have lots of opportunities to earn crypto and keep investing in it. I got my hands into crypto when Blog2Earn was very popular and then slowly started writing blogs and started creating a decent stake of cryptocurrency. Today there is also another opportunity available in the crypto world where people can play games and earn crypto from it.…
Nowadays it is a trend that we no longer purchase crypto, we have so many options to earn our favorite crypto. Blog2Earn and Play2Earn are the two top ways to earn. Earning from blogging is a pretty old trend but Play2Earn is getting more and more popular and there are so many blockchain games emerging that makes people earn a lot from just playing games. leofinance.io/@bala41288/don-t-buy-crypto-earn-it #Leofinance
I'm almost nearing 1000 SPS token stake. I have been powering up everything in the last two days. I will still continue to do that for the next few days as well as long as the price and the APR is stable. Over 400% APR for staking is definitely an insane value. #Splinterlands
Two coins that I have planned to purchase in the next dip Every time when we look for a dip and purchase the coins, it usually ends up profitable. I'm really glad that I did a small profit booking a few days back and have a small number of liquid funds that I can use for the next dip. Crypto markets are really good because of the market fluctuations and the FOMO on new coins emerging in the market. Another fact that the trading is available 24/7 is also an awesome thing that…
I have been thinking about investing in TLM tokens and WAX tokens for the past few weeks. I guess I will wait for the next dip opportunity and invest in them. Is it worth it? @neoxian https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/two-coins-that-i-have-planned-to-purchase-in-the-next-dip #Leofinance
Steps to use .env files in your Quasar framework project Vue has always been very comfortable for me and the Quasar framework is a nice wrapper on top of Vue giving us all the necessary things to build a website from scratch. If you already know Vue, then using Quasar and getting your first project up and running is quite simple. I'm not going to go into details of that in this article. Let's stick to the context of using .env files to store your environment variables in…
I wrote a small tutorial today on how to handle .env files using the quasar framework. It's been a while since I wrote any tech blogs. I have been using the Quasar framework for quite some time and I find it comfortable. Those who already use the Quasar framework can make use of the below guide. https://stemgeeks.net/hive-163521/@bala41288/steps-to-use-env-files-in-your-quasar-framework-project #JavaScript
Are you a long-term splinterlands player? If yes, were you contacted by people after this recent pump asking about Splinterlands and how they can get started? I'm guessing I'm not alone here. I have been receiving lots of queries about splinterlands from many people. People are somehow trying to understand more about the game and would like to increase their income stream by playing the game. I'm very glad by the way the blockchain gaming industry is moving. This definitely…
Ways to grow our stake on Hive Hive is a great platform that gives us many earning opportunities. We can use that as a blogging platform or a gaming platform or an investment platform. There is room for many opportunities on Hive. We can invest our money here and see our money grow. After the introduction of HBD interests after HF25, I think that we should also slowly start accumulating our HBD on Hive to earn some staking rewards from the platform. Growing our stake through…
There are a few ways to increase our stake in Hive. We don't invest anything to get started on Hive. Read more to understand the 3 ways to grow on Hive. leofinance.io/@bala41288/ways-to-grow-our-stake-on-hive #Leofinance
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report It was another great week and I'm sure I have been progressing well towards completing my goals. Life is getting busy day by day and I still find some time to relax and make sure I'm not exhausted. I have been maintaining the consistency of writing one article per day. So far it is going good and it is one of the best ways to increase my stake here on Hive. I get excited when it comes to reviewing the progress of my goals. I know I have…
Checking progress on the account growth every week is definitely a refreshing feeling. I guess I have made decent progress last week. Check out more details in the post. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-5sx2pw #Leofinance
I used to have this Bud rose plant in my house. It blooms very well and it is also available in different colors. Today I got an opportunity to get this bud rose plant piece from somewhere. As we didn't have time to plant today, we have kept it in water. I'll be planting it tomorrow. Edit: For some reason the image is not uploading. I'll post a picture tomorrow. #Gardening
Today I came to know about this new game called My DeFi pet. Looks like the game has been there for a little while but only now I came to know about it. I'm wondering if I should start playing this game. From the looks of it, the game has lots of micro-tasking but it appears that it will also be giving us some income in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWfBwAUtSQ #Gaming
Not all days are good days, just stay positive Blogging has always been my routine and only on certain days it disturbs my routine or makes me feel that I don't have the energy to write any articles today. When it happens frequently and I force myself to write articles every day, it becomes a big hesitation. It will be reflected in the topic I choose after the hesitation or in the content I write. There are several reasons for the hesitation. Some people say they have…
Not all days are good and positive days. There are also days when we feel exhausted and with absolutely no creativity at all. Today is one such day for me. I hope I did better today and hopefully, things will get better soon. https://ecency.com/hive-177682/@bala41288/not-all-days-are-good #Hive
Yesterday night we had very good rain and the soil was also easy to work with. I did this thing today for the guava plant and banana plant to have more water. This will help in watering. My mother told that guava plant usually doesn't require lots of water. I wanted to just be sure that it also gets enough water so that we get some juicy Guava. #Gardening
Spent some time in the garden after a long time maintaining the banana plant Today I spent a considerable time in the garden. It is quite rare. I usually observe the beauty in the garden but don't usually spend time there. I used to be very active in the garden about 4 years back and after I got into the blockchain world I find it hard to allocate time for my hobbies. I hope this should settle down soon and I have to make lifestyle changes to spend more time on the things I…
How safe is Hive to keep your funds? Yesterday, I came to know that there was a huge hack on the Polygon chain, and looks like it is one of the biggest hacks in crypto history. As I'm also involved in multiple crypto projects, I know how sad it could be for the team and especially for a platform that is just emerging. The account that hacked the chain is pretty rich right now. https://mobile.twitter.com/PolyNetwork2/status/1425073987164381196 Many people reading this news…
After the hack event on Polygon chain, I wanted to share some safety tips on how the funds can be secured on Hive Blockchain and how it is safe compared to other places. leofinance.io/@bala41288/how-safe-is-hive-to-keep-your-funds #Leofinance
Splinterlands - My main account is worth 20,000 dollars, 4 times the value I saw two months back This came as a huge surprise to me. I have been observing the worth of my splinterlands account I was surprised to see it touch 10,000$ last week but to my surprise, it has now reached 20,000$ in just 10 days' time. This means that the account worth has doubled in almost 10 days' time. I'm now wondering what would it be if this keeps continuing. I notice that the price of DEC has…
I guess splinterlands is one of my best investments for my time. I was regretting for spending lots of time on Splinterlands but today it is highly rewarding. I never expected this would happen. Even today I find it hard to play the game but the passive income itself is sufficient. @neoxian https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-my-main-account-is-worth-20-000-dollars-now-which-is-4-times-the-value-i-saw-two-months-back #Splinterlands
It was indeed a worthy reward from the daily quest. The cards are priced so high these days and getting a Rare or Epic is a great thing. I'm glad that I also got 2000 DEC from the rewards. This is going to increase my SPS rewards as well. #Splinterlands
How to manage a sudden job loss and be prepared for it? During the pandemic time, many people lost their jobs and some people also had a reduction in the regular salary they get. This has been the case for the last two years and companies even closed their business by sending all their employees home. Not because of the pandemic situation but this can happen anytime for anyone. I'm going to be discussing some precautionary measures or things that we can do to manage our…

Splinterlands - Just getting started with Rentals | Is rental good for you? For the past few weeks, we would have heard many good things about the rental market from many people. I have been hearing the same from many people. It is not only beneficial for people who are renting but also for people who are placing their cards for rent. Both the parties are getting a good profit out of it from the rental market. I have been spending a decent amount of time in the last few days…
Have you explored the rental system on Splinterlands? We have a great option now to earn some passive income from rentals. I started doing rentals with the unused cards in my account and then decided to rent out all my cards as I'm not a regular player. The returns are looking good. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-just-getting-started-with-rentals-or-is-rental-good-for-you #Splinterlands
I just staked all the SPS earnings I have been getting for the past two weeks. I'm glad that my total SPS stake value is around 1000$ right now. I know the price can go down further but I'm glad that at least for now it is slowly increasing day by day and it is more like free money for being a long-term player. #Splinterlands
Nature is really very surprising. I have a watermelon plant growing opposite to my house. I see dogs eating the leaves of that watermelon plant. Dogs are one of the sharp species and even sharper than humans in certain aspects. With just a sniff they know what to eat and what not to eat. Looks like watermelon leaves are some kind of medicine for them. That's why they are eating it. Otherwise dogs don't usually eat plants. Amazing nature. #Animals
Be very careful when you are sending funds to exchanges Not just exchanges but if you dealing with big funds or planning to send funds from one wallet to another wallet, be very careful about double or triple checking the name before you hit the send button. Yesterday there was a sad incident where one of the top and highly reputed witnesses on Hive Blockchain transferred funds to the wrong address and it ended up losing funds. Link…
Be very careful when you are transferring funds from one account to another. Yesterday someone made a mistake by transferring around 20k USD worth of tokens to the wrong account. The intention was to send the funds to an exchange account that went wrong. It can happen to anyone, so better to be careful. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/be-very-careful-when-you-are-sending-funds-to-exchanges #Leofinance
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report | Claiming my first HBD interest Every week sharing the weekly progress has now become a fun activity for me. This week I will also be starting to claim my HBD interest from staking. I guess the week was very good and I made some decent progress if I'm not wrong. Let's look at the stats in detail to know how my progress was. The Hive price has also been really stable in the last week and it is taking an upward movement instead of a…
Sharing my weekly Hive report. Looks like I made decent progress on my goals last week as well. I was able to grab additional 45 Utopis tokens last week. I also claimed my first HBD interest and I'm planning to claim it on the 15th of every month. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-or-claiming-my-first-hbd-interest #Leofinance
Rising Star - Spending more time playing the game and earning rewards A few weeks back I discussed in a post how Rising star can be played as both a micro-tasking game or a game where we don't have to spend more time. In this article, I'm going to be discussing the options we have in the game to spend more time and earn better rewards. For people who have lots of time with them, they can keep a timer with them and play this game by doing lots of micro-tasking activities and…
Do you play the Rising star games on Hive Blockchain? I wanted to share how fruitful spending more time on the Rising Star game can be. It has been an amazing experience for me so far. People who like these types of games would find it amusing. Read more in the below article. @neoxian https://ecency.com/hive-140217/@bala41288/rising-star-spending-more-time #Hive
It looks like the ranked battle is back again. I was able to complete my quest and get the quest rewards today. I hope there will be no more downtime. I understand it is hard to maintain the server load. I'm glad they are doing something about it but I guess this is the first time the game has gone down for almost a day. #Splinterlands
CubFinance - Approaching towards 500 CUB in Kingdoms This is the goal I have for this year. Every time I see the price of CUB being stable and not moving upwards, I don't panic because even though we don't have an upward trend, it is always good to have a stable value. As long as the value is not dropping further, it is always good. Though I have not been taking any funds from the outside world into CubFinance, I have been pushing all my CUB earnings to the kingdoms. I…
I'm slowly approaching 500 CUB tokens in total in CubFinance. This is the only DeFi investment that I have made so far and it is also because it is associated with Leofinance which I trust. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/cubfinance-approaching-towards-500-cub-in-kingdoms #Leofinance
Splinterlands - Rental market is calming down A few days back I shared in an article how Rental markets were so beneficial and how people were going crazy to rent out their cards and earn a great passive income from that. I guess I was fortunate to make use of that opportunity myself as well. Especially during the end of the previous season, there were lots of people renting cars from the market for a great price. Many people thought that renting was great compared to…
The season has ended in splinterlands and that has also reduced the demand in the rental markets. It could be either people are renting less or there are more people listing their cards for rent. But the rental market is calming down a bit. Maybe it will pump again during the end of next season. @neoxian https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-rental-market-is-calming-down #Splinterlands
Staying invested after reaching our money goals Some people might have a question in their mind. If they should stay invested even after reaching their money goal. Staying invested even after reaching the money goal can carry a good amount of risk. I would advise against that. But there are ways we can still stay invested even after reaching our money goals. This can help us grow our money even further. But we have to choose our investments carefully. For reaching the goals…
Sometimes we set our financial goals and we also reach them on time. But there will be thought to not book profit and stay invested even after that. I wanted to discuss why it is not a good idea to stay invested after reaching the goal. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/staying-invested-after-reaching-our-money-goals #Leofinance
Hive Pump - Did you book your profits or buy more Hive? Today was indeed a great day for Hive and the Hive community members. We all know that the price of Hive is so undervalued inspite of so many opportunities we have in the Hive ecosystem. Recently the game Splinterlands also had a serious pump and reached almost 100k players playing the game. That's one great achievement and all the more reason why Hive is still an undervalued cryptocurrency. Today morning I woke up to…
Did you make use of the Hive pump today? The price of Hive is over half a dollar now. Some people buy more Hive right now considering the long-term opportunity and some people book profits during these pumps. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/hive-pump-did-you-book-your-profits-or-buy-more-hive #Leofinance
Rental markets are very good in splinterlands for players who have extra cards or no time to play the game. But there is a requirement to review the cards rented out to make sure we are getting the correct rent for the cards based on the demand and supply. @neoxian https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-how-to-maximize-the-income-from-rental-markets #Splinterlands
Splinterlands - How to maximize the income from rental markets? The rental markets have been one of the best things in recent days to get a decent income for the cards that we are not using in the game. Some people earn a decent amount of DEC for renting their unused cards. But from what we observed from last season, this earnings is not very consistent. Sometimes it can be high and sometimes it can be very low. But from what I observed, we get a good opportunity to earn…
I guess I have made decent progress this week in the goals I have set for myself on Hive Blockchain. Read more to know about my progress. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-or-utopis-goal-complete #Leofinance
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report | UTOPIS goal complete Today I'm very glad to share my weekly progress with the happiness that I have already completed one of the goals this week and my other goals are also progressing very well. The price of Hive is also looking very good and HBD also had a nice small pump giving an opportunity for the traders. I was able to make some quick profits by swapping Hive and HBD in the last two days. The price of Hive is getting really…
I took a picture of these mushrooms from a pit near my house. They dug a pit near my house for fixing an issue with landline cables. I did not expect these mushrooms to grow that deep. Especially if it was heavy rains, these mushrooms wouldn't be there. As we had some small rains lately, it is nice to see these mushrooms. I'm not sure if these are edible but they are pure white in color and beautiful. I'm wondering how there would have been spores in the soil that made this…
Did you know that you don't have to play the Rising Star game as a micro-tasking game and still can earn a decent reward from the game. But you have to progress to a certain level to be able to do that. Read more in the below article. https://ecency.com/hive-140217/@bala41288/rising-star-guide-to-spending #RisingStar
Rising Star - Guide to spending less time interacting with the game and still earning good A few days back I wrote an article on how players can spend more time in the Rising Star game and increase their earning opportunities. In this article, I wanted to share some points on how players can also spend less time but increase their earning opportunities. Rising Star game is not only fun but it is also full of opportunities. For players who would like to spend less time…
This small spinach plant that I'm holding in my hand has so many medicinal properties. It can be easily grown in our house and even in pots. This plant cannot withstand too much of heat and at the same time it cannot live without sun light as well. These are some of the plants that we can easily grow in our garden. This plant is called Manathakkaali in Tamil and Mani Thakkali in Malayalam denoting beed Tomato. I guess both tomato and this plant belong to the same family if…
This is definitely one of the luckiest openings I should say. I received a lot of DEC in the quest rewards. In the last few days, I have been noticing that the quest rewards give only dust DEC and some portions and it hardly gives any cards. But glad that I got a decent amount of DEC rewards today. #Splinterlands
WAX was listed on Binance yesterday and that made WAX price pump from almost 14 cents to 42 cents and I was fortunate to book my profits at 42 cents and exit. leofinance.io/@bala41288/made-a-decent-profit-from-wax-yesterday-because-of-binance-listing #Leofinance
Made a decent profit from WAX yesterday because of Binance listing WAX is one of the most underrated blockchains but it is also one of the highly used blockchains in the crypto world. Especially when the NFT craze started, people wanted to create their own NFTs and sell them for a good price. WAX was the perfect choice for them and many gaming folks also created their projects with the support of WAX blockchain. We have also been using WAX blockchain to mint some NFTs for…
Splinterlands - 180% APR is still pretty decent for SPS staking rewards Splinterlands is one of the hottest games in the crypto world. Considering the fact that splinterlands is using a blockchain that is absolutely free for doing transactions, the game has great potential to grow. They have also been adding multi-chain support as well. Basically, the game will be inside Hive but assets of the game can stay in multiple places. This is one of the coolest things. Most of the…
Getting 180% APR from the game we play is pretty decent and Splinterlands is creating a big revolution in the Play2Earn industry. This place is going to get transformed in another 5 years down the line. leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-180-apr-is-still-pretty-decent-for-sps-staking-rewards #Splinterlands
Not a very lucky day today but the rewards are definitely better. At least all those loot chests were not with portions. So that way it is still good. #Splinterlands
Saw a group of ants eating Neem fruit. This happens every day during this season where neem fruit becomes a comfortable meal for the ants. Within an hour or so this neem fruit will be changed to seed. This is also the time where we can see more ants in the locality. #Nature
One year since we had covid in the family and lost our family members According to the Gregorian calendar, yesterday was one year since we caught covid in the family. Last year this date I admitted my father to the hospital and we were all very afraid as to what would happen in the coming days. It was the same date when my grandfather and uncle were also admitted to the hospital. Covid took away my grandfather and uncle. Fortunately, we were able to save our father. Today he…
It has been 1 year since we had covid. Today is the remembrance day after a year. I hope the planet heals from the COVID soon and we are back to normal life. https://stemgeeks.net/hive-163521/@bala41288/one-year-since-we-had-covid-in-the-family-and-lost-our-family-members
I still remember the good old days that gave more cards in the season-end rewards. I'm glad that I used to play the game even before they introduced these portions in the quest rewards. During those days it will always be cards in the quest rewards. I should have played more to grab those cards. Now I realize for not using that opportunity. #Splinterlands
Last season gave good rewards for people who were renting their cards. Especially more revenue came our way towards the end of the season. Hopefully the same should happen this season as well. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-season-end-is-nearing-and-more-revenue-from-renting #Leofinance
Can renewable energy be a complete alternative and would it be possible to harness all the energy we need from renewable sources? These are some of the questions that come to my mind. But I then realize that we can do our part in this revolution and help towards achieving that. https://stemgeeks.net/hive-163521/@bala41288/how-can-we-be-a-part-of-this-renewable-energy-revolution #Hive
How can we be a part of this renewable energy revolution? A revolution on using renewable energy as an alternative has started all over the world. There are new companies and start-ups coming out of nowhere with some innovative ideas. Even though clean energy is not 100% clean energy I'm happy that we are able to at least travel in that direction. I know renewable energy has been a hot topic for over a decade now but now even the developing countries are also considering…
My Hive Goals - Weekly progress report | LEO Power goal complete I'm very glad to present you all with my next weekly progress report. I'm glad that I made decent progress last week as well and I will be discussing that in detail in this post. Hive price is also strong above 50 cents and I was able to make some profits in this pump by doing some quick trade. I don't know how it worked but I used the internal market to swap between Hive and HBD and made around 150$ from that.…
I have successfully completed my Leo Power goal this week. Otherwise, I think I made decent progress. Read further to know more. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/my-hive-goals-weekly-progress-report-or-leo-power-goal-complete #Leofinance
It was hard to level up to Gold II as I was renting most of my cards. But glad that I was able to spare some of the cards and quickly jump to Gold II. The rewards are not like before. They are not very great in terms of cards but good that we are getting some decent amount of DEC. #Splinterlands
Added a facility to change nodes on Hive Engine Explorer Hive Engine Explorer is a web application created by @reazuliqbal and can be accessed through https://he.dtools.dev. When it comes to checking the history or details in the HE Block, this site is quite handy. We will be able to view an individual block or a transaction inside the block. I have been using the Hive Engine testnet in one of my projects recently. I found it hard to work with the testnet without having a…
This is from the account that I casually play without any cards. I have placed all the cards in the rental market. Season-end rewards for this account are definitely good for just 7 loot chests. I have to now open my other account where I reached Gold II. #Splinterlands
Splinterlands - Season end fun with more DEC than cards | Over 50k DEC from rental markets I guess the number of cards minted from the game recently has drastically reduced considering the number of players playing the game. Instead of cards, the game has started giving DEC as rewards in the loot chests. The portions are also there and at the same time no cards as such. Read further to know more. At the same time, the rental market did really well last season. I never got…
Close to 400$ earning in the last season from Splinterlands game. This is definitely a powerful Play2Earn game. I wish the rewards continue to be like this going forward as well. https://leofinance.io/@bala41288/splinterlands-season-end-fun-with-more-dec-than-cards-or-over-50k-dec-from-rental-markets #Splinterlands
