Mail Call; The Package from SIlverd510

“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven.

I am flush with a trove of splendid shiny subjects to write about, yet it is a cursed irony that I am not able to craft the words into meaningful posts at this time or over the past several weeks has left me more than frustrated.

Therefore, my posts will be more simplified from here on in, or until my health improves. So be gone you weary clouds and take that foul malaise with you for we shall embrace the December festivities with vim and vigor beginning with the addition of TWO new pieces to my Booty Bank.

The 2023 Monster Raffle.

The reboot of the fundraiser for the #silvergoldstackers Curation project that was started back in the Pre-Hive days is again a success. The proceeds provided the benefit away from the reliance on external funding and promoted a more vigorous growth from within the #sgs community.

I thank all the #silvergoldstackers members around the Monster Raffle for the opportunity to participate. With my budget of 100 Hive, a little more than $30 worth at the time, I stood a reasonable chance at landing any prize. My primary objective was to land a @raybrockman poured piece even if there was a better prize by weight that was available for the choosing making up for a past lost opportunity.

The raffle itself took place live on Discord, in real time and was run rather smoothly without any major hitches. As expected members and participants entertained each other in a festive atmosphere as the raffle progressed. Then my silent prayer was answered almost midway through the raffle. I checked the ‘Live’ list and my own. The Skull Cross!

A delicious bonus too, Dave’s Ultimate Prime rib jerky, it will beat salted pork and hard tack any day of the year aboard my ship. Thank you again @silverd510.

The PIMP Community Silver

Yes, I do follow the pertinent threads on the Paper In My Pocket (PIMP) Discord as best I can understand tokenomics but when I got wind of the plan for having a physical silver reserve as a part of the PIMP portfolio that would put a solid floor underneath this token. After seeing the vast majority of Hive Engine tokens flat-lined prompting me rather focus on our native Hive token, HBD and few the Layer 2 tokens I’ve already committed to.

As a member of the precious metal community I like that idea, as an important component of this token. Assigned with the role of Vault Master, @silverd510 was also commissioned with producing the first run of PIMP silver pours. And I have the pleasure of acquiring PIMP Hex #8 and I am NOT disappointed. Thanks @enginewitty, for introducing me into this wildly enterprising community. And I still owe you an overdue ‘Thank-You’ post for that Precious little Halloween gift. 🎃

Adding to the Community Collection

How do these two marvelous additions look in my Booty Bank with the collection of my favorite community silver? Let’s see. They look fine fitting right in, or should they be in a separate chest? Please leave a comment below.

For Hive Power-Up Day?

My current HP is sitting at 18,655ish HP. With 501 Hive, should I power up 345 Hive to make it an even 19,000 HP? That would leave 156 liquid Hive remaining for the next power up or, blow it on a wild bet. 🤔kay, 19,000 HP it is. I'll put the proof in the comments later.

The #piratesunday tag is the scurvy scheme of Captain @stokjockey for #silvergoldstackers pirates to proudly showcase their shiny booty and plunder for all to see. Landlubbers arrrh… welcomed to participate and be a Pirate at heart so open yer treasure chests an’ show us what booty yea got!

And thank you @traciyork, @hivebuzz and the cast of generous contributors for this fun initiative of #hivepowerupday and #HivePUD. Though I have crossed beyond the threshold in terms of eligibility I can still enjoy a bit of fun and encourage my followers.
