Have you always wanted to ask me something?
Now is your chance, there won't be another!
(ok, ok, there will)
It has been over a year since I did my monthly AMA.
Hit me up in the comment section with a question and I will do my best to answer it. I post a new AMA post every 2 months or so.

What is an AMA?
AMA is a format popular on Reddit where one person offers to answer questions for a limited period of time.
How long will I answer questions?
I will usually answer them pretty quickly, and I should be around for a few hours. I will continue to answer them as they come in. I am going to hop out in a few hours to go see Violent Santa but will be back to answering questions after.
What type of questions can you ask?
I'm open to pretty much anything but I can give the best answers about:
- Hive
- Hive Witness
- Crypto
- PCs
- AI
- Gaming (Video, Board, Crypto)
- NFTs
- Popping off in Hunt: Showdown
- Hating Red Dead Redemption 2
- Ape Mining Club
- Hive Punks
- Photography
- Development
- Technology
- Raspberry Pi
- 3D Printing
- Productivity
- Movies & TV
- Comedy
- Memes
- Pool maintenance
My recent posts:
- Over $14,000 USD worth of Hive & HBD burned in February
- Ransomware the end of the 3-2-1 backup?
- How to run AI directly on your own PC
- Monitor Witness - Know your backup witness has failed before you depend on it
Don't feel limited to the above categories, just things I generally know about.
This AMA brought to you while listing to Rob Zombie - Dragula
So let's get this shit started!
Why you should vote me as witness
Posted Using InLeo Alpha
I wonder why you didn't make this AMA post a burn post? Or that you would have published it with the option to decline rewards? Or that you would have selected someone else as the beneficiary of 100% of the rewards before publishing it? ¿Huh?
Anyway, I guess you still will have enough time to do something different in seven days and donate the 100% of what you raise in this post to someone who asks good questions like me. };)
Then, why don't you put me as a benficiary on your next post 🤔
Maybe because every author is free to keep its reward as long as other users think its worth the payout it get.
Oh! because I'm afraid you wouldn't bear the shame of receiving so little do$h if I put you as a beneficiary of my posts. You seem to be earning way too well from your own posts.
Maybe i earn well, but you have more HP so you should help poor users like me right ? 🤷♂️😂
gonna share some of my next post reward then
Why would I do that?
Simply to please a few members within your lineage club who usually recommend these same ideas to others who they consider inferior to them. And well, maybe just to do something unexpected from time to time too.
Don't forget to post your curation report today, hate for anyone to forget you voted them for 2 cents.

Why are you an asshole?
I mean the root cause, not the typical answer that you are just sick of idiots yet what was the breakingbpoint or have you always been?
As an asshole myself (always been since I can remember, a trait from my father) I feel I can ask this without too much personal feelings getting involved.
I'm actually quite nice, I reflect what is given. If you are an ass to me, I will return the favor, but generally I am quite nice.
Very similar story here, very nice person all around yet also an asshole... guess I just figured you were also one! Thanks for an answer and not upside down curation boss!
I don't downvote people because I don't like them and downvotes are just as much curation as upvotes.
Lol
What's your approach or philosophy in crypto investing? not really asking for a financial advice, just curious about how you see value in the crypto markets.
I use an automated system to identify potential plays which I am starting to work on something for stocks as I get more into the stock market.
What language do you use for automation?
Python / Javascript
Hosted by your own server or thru a hosted server?
Both. I mostly keep anything that is critical offsite so as to not have downtime as we get snow and lose power 0-3 times a year. I do run a lot on my network as well.
sorry being 20 questions Rob here, will there be plans for Ape Mining updates? Improvements? Graphical updates?
What are your thoughts on the VIBES project hive is currently running to "bring people into hive" ?
I can't say I know much about it, but I have always been saying we need to focus on onboarding as we currently suck at it. I have seen a few posts and I think it's a good thing but I don't know much of the details.
Never.
Just because you do don't assume everyone does.
Good question, I also read the answers
Hi, I want to ask about your experience being a hive witness, how it was when you first started, what you did to get votes and any other tips and wisdom you can offer me as a new witness, just over two months now. I purposely wanted to run my own server and host it here in Adelaide.
I am probably the wrong person to ask about this, the common practice is to spam memos and beg everyone for votes, something I do not take part in nor do I appreciate.
I started a witness the first month I became active on Steem and it took me a while to even break top 100, then even longer for top 50. I think one of the advantages I had was I am a technical person, and personally that's something that is a critical factor in who I vote for personally.
There is a lot less competition now since the split, we have a lot fewer active witnesses and freedom no longer votes witnesses which was a significant factor in who got top 20 and even top 30.
The best advice I can give you is to put yourself out there, a lot of witnesses you only know are a witness because they are on the list, you never see them, they don't post, and they may not even be around outside of making sure their witness is printing Hive.
I appreciate the feedback, and it’s basically my plan going forward, I am also a tech, sysadmin is my day job.
I’ll add some technical details with my next witness update post.
Do we exceed our ATH in this bull cycle? When does the Hive bull begin.
I don't pretend to know what the price will be in the future. There are so many variables.
I'm not sure there will be one.
What are your feeling on "the state of the Hive" at the moment?
Not many people know of Hive, fewer investing in it. We pissing away a ton of money on proposals extracting 10x of what they are providing. Our onboarding doesn't work a lot of the time and we have virtually no marketing. We have good technology but that on it's own isn't enough.
Are we slowly moving in the right direction or are we just spinning our wheels?
I think things have gotten worse, we are spending millions per year on proposals that are not bring in new users, we have a tiny user base with lots of sell pressure. We don't seem to be doing anything about it, and in fact it has been getting worse.
Thanks for your honesty.
One thing caught my eye while scrolling through the topics.
Why do you hate Red Dead 2?
The beginning is so damn slow. It's like a grind before you "take control" of your character, and it seems to do everything in it's power to make it a pain in the ass to do anything. At least in the beginning. I plan to come back to it and finish it, and I'm sure once I get going I'll love it, but the first few hours I wanted to throw my computer out the window. I love cut scenes, I love great intros, but I hate long winded tutorials that force you down a narrow path not allowing you to do what you want. It also runs like crap on even the best hardware. If that wasn't enough on Linux it is a big pain in the ass due to the custom loader they keep changing making it harder to get running.
I can see where you're coming from, the intro does seem to go on, but once you get out of the snowy part of the map the world truly opens up and is great to explore and get lost in. The characters are all great, and Arthur is one of the best written and developed characters I've played as in a long time.
It's been while since I started the game, but I remember there was some other things that really annoyed me. The game looks great and I know I will enjoy it, but the few hours really tests your patience.
Reddit tells me it is the anniversary of John Candy's death. What's your favorite John Candy movie?
I think the only John Candy movie I've seen is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and I just watched that within a year or two because someone raved about how good it was. Ultimately I didn't agree.
Where to find concentrated information for the development of dapps in the hive and its detailed operation, from the theoretical to the practical? If it exists and is not at https://developers.hive.io. Thanks in advance. I used a translator for the question, sorry
Hive.io is the best source of information I know of. There is also the Hive Developers Discord, but I don't think it is very active.
Thanks
You are happy?
I think so.

how come noone is buying my NFTS? 😆
I can buy it in like 300 years if you wish just gotta grow my hp a little
😄
Might be a little high, but who knows.
I have been on Hive for pretty much a year and a half, and I feel like I am pretty much not doing as well as I would actually want to. Can you give some tips that you feel deep down will help me please, even if its just one
Consistency is probably the best tip I can give you. This is true for all social media. If you post every day, stick with that. People tend to expect the same schedule if they enjoy your content. But honestly, it isn’t as big of a deal on Hive, it is far less competitive than any other social media. Nowhere in the world can you get $100+ for ~40 views and probably about 1-2 people actually reading your content. Just do your best.
Alright "CONSISTENCY !" . Thank you so much for this reply. Truth is, I have not really been consistent, will do my best to change that .
Are you going to actually respect your AMA posting schedul or is the next one on 3 years ?
Why do you like deadpool so much ?
Is the cat from the post your cat ?
Do you have a poop knife ?
I don’t post often these days so not likely.
I find him funny but I was using him just a change of scenery.
Yes
No
The first question is why? @enmy loves you a lot.
Are you fall in love her :)
The second.
Hey, for Steem you created a program that deleted or hid all the posts at once, do you have something like that for Hive? You never know when you might need something like that to delete yourself in case of an emergency. Remember, sometimes you don't know who is snooping around just to find information on how to screw you over. Thanks, I hope you have that tool and if not, please build it. Oh, and give me the link for the one for Steem that I lost. I repeat, you never know when the self-destruct button could be useful. Thank you very much for your support.
Huh? She was pissed I voted her post because it meant appreciator wouldn’t vote as well and he voted for more than I did. I got tons of threats and complaints from Rutablockchain group back then crying I was such an asshole for voting them because I didn’t give as much as appreciator. It was pathetic and disgusted me. Never will I vote or support anyone again in that community.
I don’t think it works on Hive but I believe it was from @engrave. I believe there are two that were made and they may not even be up anymore.
Este es un mensaje muy tierno 🥰
Ya pasó mucho tiempo, buen momento para saludarte ... 😇
Y eso no es como lo dices... pero, si la gente quiere saber que investiguen 😘
You are right, it is all public, except for the hundred private messages on Discord
https://peakd.com/@themarkymark/i-am-the-wolf-in-sheep-s-clothing
@galberto Jajajajaja... quieres mi atención o la de él, me da mucha risa que me uses para caerle bien. Tengo bastante tiempo en este ecosistema y "por algo" (razona un poco) sigo aquí.
Quizás puedes lograr tu cometido con inteligencia 😅
Como te dije, investiga más y no en nuestras Publicaciones, lee las actualizaciones de la cadena, lo que significa una curva de Curación y los intereses de los inversores. Ya tienes pistas.
LOL, yeah ok...
Ahí no dice mi usuario por ningún lado, créame que yo si guardé nuestra conversación, pero soy una dama y mis conversaciones privadas son mías.
Jamás pensé publicar capturas de mi chat, eso que usted muestra seguro es de alguien más que hace arte digital, yo intenté hacer arte digital pero lleva mucho tiempo y de verdad no tengo tiempo para eso. Solo hago arte tradicional en mi tiempo libre. Cuando quiera le envío una muestra 😇
Cuando publique una conversación y salga mi usuario de discord la comunidad y yo le creeremos 😇😇😇 sin ediciones por favor 😘
UVBG is the only reason you are here.
Me gusta leer las palabras que se pueden traducir.
Quizás "UCDM" tampoco lo entenderás 😇
De verdad que está chévere esta conversación, pero todavía no te pregunto nada 😅😅🤣🤣
@themarkymark creo que usted está muy confundido, quiere pasar un rato hablando cosas sin sentido conmigo. Pero este no es el lugar, normalmente tomo un café con alguien para hablar tonterías 🤣🤣
Si tiene un chat conmigo, muy extraño que no las publicó. Porque eso que está ahí no es mío. 😇
Y una pregunta interesante: cómo funcionaba la curva de Curación antes y cómo funciona ahora. Usted debe saber muy bien eso.
Wow, I thought all votes were always welcome. It's the first time I hear of someone being bothered by being voted for, but oh well. I do remember that incident, it was quite funny, that's why I asked. That's why I left all kinds of groups and decided to operate alone, so everything that comes is welcome.
It's a pity we don't have the self-destruct button, it could be very useful. Thanks for answering my call. I'm still planning to buy the Pi Network computer.
Tienes que saber más del asunto tan divertido que terminó en un actualización de la cadena. 🥰
😘
Nadie se puede destruir a sí mismo si defiende sus ideas, así vaya contra la corriente.
Que tengan un bonito día... 🥰
I only built it for steem and you can still access it here: https://steempruner.engrave.dev/

Two questions from me, because I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.
As you know, a lot of people are getting hacked off with the DHF - is there any way we as a community can make a positive change for the better? Or is such an action "pissing in the wind?"
Also, we've held on tightly to our Hive Punks. Will you be doing anything with them this year? Or is that something that I'll just keep locked away for longer? :)
I don't believe there is much that can be done, you can't downvote proposals and some of them are approved with very few votes so there are few people you can try to convince otherwise. This is one of the main reasons I am running the @buildawhale burn posts to try to counter at least a small portion of the sell pressure from the proposals extracting 10x than they provide. Even burning $14K+/month is just a drop in the bucket compared to the typical $400-800/day proposal.
I am not sure I am doing much of anything at this point. The plan was one or two unannounced games, but for various reasons I am just not sure I am up for it.
Yeah I hear that. I don't think you're alone in these thoughts. I just wish for them to at least re-invent how they are done.
As for punks. Okay, I'll just keep ours for longer then :)
Where's your famous No. 1 Punk? Why aren't you using it as your profile photo? 😜
And which one is your favorite Punk, or most valuable (valuable according to your own values)?
I've grown to love that punk, and was using it for a while, but I changed to deadpool a while ago just for a change of pace. I think it was originally to help test the NFT profile feature with PeakD team and I just stuck with it.
I like Doug, I gave him a backstory and I kind of grew attached to him as well. I did a giveaway with him as well where I hide some money for users to find.
I also loved this one, I though the name, job, and look came out to be a very great combination.
Funny thing, I looked for someone who would be a perfect wife for punk #1, and got a hold of them.
This is funny indeed and made me laugh :D Nice choice, Elsa is nice and would be a perfect match for Punk No. 1! Should I look for a husband for mine? 🤔 Would be a fun game.
I thought it was fun and interesting. I know one person who was collecting all the Red Scarlet hats.
It would definitely be fun. At the beginning, I was planning to collect all the Santa hats as that was one I minted, then these crazy red heads, but some are listed at ridiculously high prices I'm not willing to pay.
Yeah, I have noticed people put insane prices on their Punks thinking we are on ETH.
What's the worst thing you have eaten
I once had shrimp that was put in Pork Fried rice by accident. I refuse to eat anything from the ocean as I hate the smell/taste of seafood.
You weird 😂
I've been called worse.
when you sang in the shower, what song did you sing?
NIN - Closer
Which are your top hidden crypto gems for 2024? (#notafinancialadvice :P)
BTC
Who are you?
I’m me of course!
Why do people ask you questions? Are you famous?
I am a top 20 witness as well as someone who is well known here with a large stake. I am more approachable than most and like to give people the opportunity to ask whatever they like and I will do my best to answer it.
Good 👍
What do you think of $Hive at the moment? How is the market and comparing it to 2021, do you think it can surpass its all-time high?
It's underperforming and we are losing money through the proposal system.
No, but anything can happen out of nowhere. Right after I released Hive Punks, Hive spiked from $0.87 to like $3.40 for a very brief period of time.
Sorry for the delay in responding. It is pitiful the current performance of the Hive honestly. I hope things can change and improve profitability.
Are those Hive Punk still available?
You're going to have to launch a new collection to see if the hive goes back up again.
Perfect timing! I am fairly certain you are the one to ask about this.
BYTE token will launch at the end of this month. Do you have any objection to pairing STEM with BYTE on TribalDEX when we set up our first BYTE diesel pool?
We're starting the Learn to Code tribe and BYTE is our tribe token.
https://peakd.com/hive-163521/@holovision/learn-to-code-tribe-and-byte-token-will-launch-march-31
If you have any objections that's fine. We'll pair BYTE to another token instead.
I have no problems with it if you want to do that.
Thank you.👍
This initiative is beautiful. Then I take advantage of it. In your opinion, what are the three best blockchain-based games? I mean the ones that are fun, but also have tokenomics already working.
Probably not the answer you want, but I don't play blockchain games generally. I play mostly action/rpg/competitive games on PC.
Thank you for your answer. I would have taken it for granted that you would have mentioned Splinterlands, but no answer should be taken for granted. Do you still think blockchain games are immature and not fun? or too risky from an economic point of view?
I am invested in Splinterlands, but I do not play.
They are just not my thing, I'd rather play this.
and this
Thanks for reply.
Huh?
The last one was posted over a year ago, that's reward pool farming?
The post is all about the comments, this post has more engagement than the entire first 3-4 pages of trending combined.
I'm 26 and I'll probably outlive you. You seem very angry, must have high blood pressure. Steem not treating you right?
I don't flag anyone for fun. I don't enjoy flagging despite what you think, if I did, I'd be flagging far more people and for no reason. Seems you got your wires crossed.
