My #Algorand node is back online and running! Thanks to your generous donations and a sacrifice on my part I am once again earning rewards on block creation. I feel a lift today, like I am back in the game now. It isn't near what it was before the scam attack but I will not give up and will continue to put my efforts and faith in the greatest blockchain ever created. I pray that those who stole from me and the others will be caught soon and receive the justice they deserve. I salute all of you who have held the course and hopefully together we will soon see Algorand take it's rightful place in history. Be well everyone, and be sure to be kind and love your neighbor. Only united can we co-create a new and better world. @StaciW_DC @AlgoFoundation @marcvl

Hello everyone. Hope your weekend is going well. We managed to sell another pig, a girl named Missy, on our farm this weekend. We didn't get much for her, she had been blind in one eye since birth, but she was a very sweet pig and we will miss her dearly. If you haven't seen it yet please check out my gofundme. gofund.me/83c705268. I lost all my Algorand that I was using to run a node and maintain my farm to a scam attack and donations to here and to my Algorand wallet CAPNOR6NRE5KJUPGOOYWRIONENOTS2JRJRSAK77UTM4TYFZPP7DIQ42EPM have mostly stopped at this point. My wife and I do 5-8 hours of unpaid labor daily to keep the animals going without holidays or weekends off, and the sale of these animals does not even cover their feed costs, so if you like the videos I've been posting and want to see more please consider donating, either on a one time or ongoing basis. Every bit helps and extends my options for continuing to care for the farm and the animals. If you can't donate but know someone who can help please share the link with them. Your share could end up making a big difference for me. Today is also the last day for the @airforcetuanNFT auction for his artpiece. Please check it out here: nitter.gq/airforcetuanNFT/status… Bid or purchase if you can. All proceeds will go to help the farm. Love you all and thank you for reading. Whether you donate or not your attention matters and is felt. Missy is shown below, she always liked sticking out her tongue like that. Last picture before she left for new pastures.

Farm Task Video: This is a long one, only watch all of it if you really love the sound of the pressure washer. I filmed this with my phone in my belt buckle so the angle isn't right much of the time, I'll have to figure out something better. skip as needed, 16 trays washed. I could have shortened this video but I thought to leave it full length so you have a real idea of the time it takes to get the task done while preserving your ability to skip ahead. I like presenting things as they are so that you can decide if these animals are right for you with a full un-glossed set of information.

Farm Task Video: Quail tray swapping and cleaning. Not all tasks on the farm are the most pleasant or desirable, but they are necessary. Every 4-5 days I have to swap out the manure trays for the quail. Check it out, also extra dump cart demo included!

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.

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.

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

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!

Forage time with the girls! We take the goats on forest walks almost every day so they can get their fill of the natural plants growing in the area. Always a lot happening on these walks! Check it out.

Who doesn't love petting goats? Here is a soothing video taken last year of my wife giving the goats some much needed attention.

This isn't a new video, from last year, but I figured you all might like some jumping baby goats! Enjoy Algofam!

Here is a short video of my farm animals, enjoy #Algorand community! Let me know if you like it, I can always put together more.

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.

I could use your help with my fundraiser on GoFundMe. Please share, support, or donate—every small action counts. gofund.me/ec99c2716

#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.

The Algoblow scammer is now selling off every ASA I have to Algo. I'm sure the assets will be moving offchain soon. I'm just so sad, I created 7294 blocks for Algorand on my node before this, all for nothing. Be careful everyone, it just takes one slip up to lose it all.

I have had a whole series of "asset recovery specialists" contacting me about recovering my rekeyed account. All of them have been demanding large upfront payments to "finance the recovery process" and all of them say I need to cooperate. Are any of these services legitimate? Most of them have been telling me lies about the locked account or giving me technical jargon that doesn't match what has been happening. They all say they can freeze the assets and force a rekey but only if I pay them first. They all seem like scams to me.

Everyone I need help immediately. I accepted an asset in my algorand inbox and it rekeyed my account. I have lost 1447000 Algorand in this. It is all my life savings. Is there anything I can do?
