Good morning #Algorand! Donations from you have been amazing, beyond expectations, with nearly 25000 ALGO donated and 325 USDC and $2508 raised on gofundme! The USDC and gofundme donations give me almost two months of expense coverage already, so I feel I have some breathing room to keep things running while I figure out what's next. We spend about $600 a month on bills like electric, insurance, internet, and phone, about $700 a month on animal feed and animal medical products, and about $300 a month on other grocery and household items as well as fuel and car maintenance expenses to live, so around $1600 a month total keeps most everything running. We try and only drive twice or three times a month for food and feed, never go to events, restaurants, theaters, etc, so be assured I won't be wasting your donations on frivolities.

There have been a few really amazing donations that I am extremely appreciative of, to those individuals you have my highest level of honor and respect. You know who you are and please know that I see and recognize your compassion.

Also some other good news, was able to sell a pig yesterday, and it looks like two more people are suddenly interested in buying pigs. We only got half price on what we normally charge, but it will reduce our feed costs and get us a little more room. It is always sad to see my animal friends leave. Luckily the pig will have a great time of it, as he is going to get a new girlfriend! I'm sure he will be having a great experience. It was pretty rough getting him in the buyer's van though as he was scared and didn't know what was happening. Almost all pigs absolutely hate being picked up or grabbed so imagine first chasing, cornering, moving, and then lifting a 150-200 pound pile of muscle that is straining with everything it has to get away from you and squealing as loud as a siren while the temperature is around 100 degrees and humidity is around 100%.

Finally, apologies for slowing down on posting yesterday and creating new videos last night. Truthfully I'm feeling exhausted. I've been running on adrenaline the past 4 days, I haven't been able to eat any real solid food since the attack (tried eating some eggs and goat cheese last night, could only make it a few bites), and every muscle in my body is feeling like it was hit by a truck, especially with wrestling the pig yesterday. I still have panic attacks when waking up in the morning to as my mind relives the theft and my actions that led to it with a huge wave of guilt and shame every morning. I may need to take a little time just to rest and try and get my cortisol levels down, but I promise to continue making content, just need to breathe for a bit.

Boy that was sold shown below with his goofy smile. We will miss him, a joyful animal.

What's amazing about this is that it depicts an actual mall in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex in Texas. I spent a lot of time in that mall in earlier years. My wife even had an art gallery there for a time. They tore it down and he did a whole video walking through the ruins and comparing to how it used to be. An actual place, destroyed, but with its memory preserved forever with this series.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

I love your art Alex, you can just stare at it and pull out different forms and archetypes from the lines. The forms shift depending on my thoughts and attention I give to the surface the more I look. It brings out a whole series of different emotions too. You have done a great job. The kitties are awesome too! The way you started the video rising from the floor with a single heart on the floor was a great touch. The whole video is its own form of art. Great job!

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@DustyShelfs @GridGuruX thank you so much, great advice too, should have followed it earlier

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@privateparks A man's gotta eat, and eggs are one of the most complete and whole food sources you can get. I hope things turn around for you, seems like near everyone I talk to is in survival mode now. It's a crucible environment at the moment.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

Breakfast for pigs! If you want to see my pigs munching on their morning food take a gander.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@just_jemini Stunning! It is perfect for the occasion

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@just_jemini @CyberSkullsAlgo Looks fantastic I accepted and will hold with honor

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

Oh wow this is amazing. I am shedding tears right now. I am the type of person that feels the need to repay every kindness given to me multiplied back and now there is so much kindness I have no idea how I could ever do that. Thank you doesn't even start to cover it. I will just keep making content for you all right now until I have the means to do more.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@chrslerz @FreakyEeEE Agreed, I let myself, my wife, my farm, the community, and Algorand down with my decision. The pain of it will haunt me the rest of my days. Good to call it out so others can see the consequence.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@FreakyEeEE You are so right, I was so stupid, I am ashamed, contrite, humbled, castigated. It was the morning, I wasn't fully thinking straight, and it was so quick, thought I could check out a site without a wallet connect screwing me over. I was dead wrong. I will never trust again.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@privateparks Chickens are a great animal to start with. They are intelligent, active, pretty independent, don't take too much feed, and they will produce and abundance of healthy eggs for you. They will scratch up the area though, so keep them in a place you don't mind getting defoliated.

Milking time for our herd queen Ellie! If you want to see a more thorough milking sequence than was shown in my first video please check it out.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@MidnightxSoul I saw it come in, saying thank you just doesn't feel adequate enough for all the compassion I am receiving. Love and prayers for abundance and joy in your life, I hope you achieve everything you dream of

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

Good morning friends! In just one day the #Algorand community has shown a level of solidarity and generosity that exceeds all expectations. My initially bare bones secondary account is now up to 26419 ALGO in valuation thanks to your donations, as well as $1108 raised on gofundme so far. This means the world to me and will take pressure off the need to get funds to rebuild Algo and give also provides the funds needed to feed the animals for the next couple months.

I am indebted to the community now and am committed to responsible stewardship of the account, my farm, and my precious animals. I truly hope we can all make it together and build a better world for everyone. If any of you ever need someone to talk to when things go wrong just reach out. I want to be here for you since you were here for me when things went bad.

Also let me know if you would like me to make a video showing the farm and animals. I am unexperienced in content creation so it would probably be amateurish but if you all want to see them I would be glad to put something together.

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

@osyfoods I promise to take care of it and not lose it again. Thank you for your kindness

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

#Algorand community, I am putting out a call for assistance, much as I hate to do so. I have lost most everything as of now due to the Algoblow website rekey attack, for which I am ashamed and contrite to have fallen for. If any of you have it in your heart to contribute, I have a second account fuel.moonjuice.algo that can accept funds. The actual wallet address is CAPNOR6NRE5KJUPGOOYWRIONENOTS2JRJRSAK77UTM4TYFZPP7DIQ42EPM. The reason I am asking this is that I have over 200 animals I care for on my farm that cost around $700 a month to provide basic feed and care for and my Algorand account is what I used to provide for their expenses and my living expenses, which is now gone.

I have some other assets I can sell off for funds and will do so, as well as trying to sell off my animals or harvest them for meat, and I am applying to jobs to try and attain whatever employment that I may be able to get, but if any of you can spare some Algo or USDC to help me rebuild in the meantime I would be grateful and thankful for any assistance you can provide.

Sorry to have to be like this, and I promise never to click on an unknown wallet connect ever again, I've been out of work for three years plus now, have lost my former brokerage licenses, now have a farm that costs more than it earns, have hundreds of animals under my care, and I have few real options right now to rebuild my Algo account as I have no income. If you can help out in my time of need I will not forget it. Again, I am so sorry I fell for this scam. I feel only pain and regret over what happened. Thank you all for your time and attention and I appreciate you all. Love to the Algofam and hate to the scammers.

@monsieuralgo @mcmaximz They are Kunekune pigs, name means fat and round. They grow slower than other breeds, 2 years to full size and their short snouts mean they root less than other pigs, but they do still dig up the area pretty well. Very friendly breed compared to others

[oitinius.algo @Oitinius]

Its pig pets and belly rubs time to tell them good night! Low light with just my phone so the video feed can get a little fuzzy.

@mcmaximz I know you were looking forward to this one, enjoy!
