Walking around and painting the town

They were probably about to move something really f'n heavy out that front door

I probably didn't describe the scene properly, but the truck wasn't positioned like they were going to load the bed with something from the front door.  The truck was parallel to the front door so that the passenger side of the truck was blocking the front door.  The front tires of the truck facing the driveway and the bed of the truck facing the neighbor's yard.  It looked like they had parked it in the middle of the yard to show it off like a car on a pedestal on the Price is Right or something.

The Silencio Network community has been growing at an unprecedented pace, and in recognition of our incredible user engagement, the BlockSound Foundation, which is in charge of the $SLC supply, is increasing the airdrop allocation from 5% to 7.5% of the total $SLC supply. ... While the core structure of leagues and bonuses remains the same, this boost expands the Diamond Hands Bonus pool, allowing even more of our top contributors to benefit.
...
One of the biggest changes is the adjustment in the Diamond Hand Bonus. Previously, this bonus was allocated only to the top 5,000 Silencians. Now, with the increased airdrop, we’re expanding the Diamond Hand Bonus to include a broader range of participants, giving more users the chance to benefit from this substantial reward.

The updated Diamond Hand Bonus will now be distributed as follows:

Silencio pushed out an update (at least for Android) and the app is now showing updated estimates for the $SLC beta airdrop.  My estimate increased substantially.

Peaq goes live Nov 12 (5 days from now).  I expect the Silencio beta airdrop will follow the Peaq launch either the same day or the next, but the Silencio folks have not yet confirmed or denied a specific day/time.

I just turned it on, did about 3 hexes to preserve my streak, and won 4500 coins when I took credit for it. Completed Sonic Wildfire quest and Diamond Hands. No idea how either one connects to reality.

Reality?  What's that? <sits back and smiles knowing philosophy professor is about to talk for the next 3 hours non-stop instead of making us take a quiz>

Between the super moon shining brightly in a clear night sky and the brisk, cool air this morning, my before sunrise walk this morning was very enjoyable.  I'm at 199,750 hexes now - just 50,250 to go for that next achievement...

I'm a bit surprised that the SLC token generation event (TGE) has not yet happened.  For any Surly peeps that have installed Silencio, the TGE will include a lottery component.  100 Silencio users will be selected randomly (supposedly!) to receive 3.5 million SLC when the TGE happens.  To qualify for this lottery draw, you need to have earned at least 1,000 noise tokens.  This isn't a difficult threshold if you actually use the app and walk around and/or do venue checks.  The in app achivements should boost you over the threshold pretty quickly.

I went walking yesterday morning as I normally do and my phone finally bit the dust.  I had been walking for about 2 hours and the battery was around 40% and then it went to zero in an instant (phone went dead).  So I went and got a new phone yesterday and what a difference it has made!  My old phone was about 5 years old and I had been fighting with it to get Silencio working and it often hung up or crashed on me.  I think the phone was 97% full on the storage space and it wasn't from videos/images/music (none of which I had on the phone).  It just didn't have much storage space to begin with.  The battery was already wearing out.  I was lucky to complete a 3 hour walk before the battery went from 100% to 0%.

I installed Silencio on the new phone and configured it to my account.  It runs so smoothly!  Not one single problem running now.  The map is responsive and scrolls smoothly.  The app doesn't hang or crash while recording sessions.  I used it for 3 hours this morning and had zero issues.  The battery only drained from 100% down to 80%.  I feel like if my legs and schedule allowed, I could probably have walked all day.  The weather this morning was certainly trying it's best to tempt me.
