Hive Fest is ON! .:. Am I There, Or Am I Here? :)

(Edited)

Today was the first official day of the Hive Fest which is held this year in a virtual world of AltspaceVR! I have tried to plug in and take part in it really hard, and I did until a certain level, but... After missing the last meeting in Bangkok, I was prepared to take off this year and attend some of the meetups around the globe... And I have failed at my very first attempt...

I have reserved my spot early this year for a D.Tube Forum and bought an entrance... I have even booked a flight to Hamburg and was researching options for accommodation there... And then, the coronavirus came and ruined all my plans (and not just mine, but everyone's)... I had to cancel my flight, and the whole event was canceled, too... I was hoping that things will change until the autumn/winter and that we will have a chance to hangout in-live at HiveFest, but that didn't happen...

Luckily, HiveFest organizators didn't give up and created the event in virtual reality... Well, that didn't go well for me either... lol... I have encountered numerous problems with joining this event... The first of them is that I have 3-4 laptops in my home, but neither of them had Windows... lol... I had some bad experience with it in my past and completely moved to Linux... And this event is organized on the Microsoft platform...

But, having another Hiver in my home (@mipiano), I had to show an effort and find the solution... I have completely emptied one laptop and installed Windows 10! That was an adventure... Old memories came back immediately after turning on the system for the first time... Waiting a couple of minutes to load the system, waiting a couple of minutes to load the AltSpace platform, and endless time waiting for all 12432432217 Windows updates to just turn off the computer... Fun times... lol...

Anyways, we did it... The program was installed, and my wife dived more into the virtual world, as I still had a lot of unfinished work... She found some of her Hivian friends and had some fun (in times when the app didn't crash, and it was working)... I have tried a bit, and got totally confused with my surroundings... (apologies to @anggreklestari and @dexpartacus for being "rude" and not talking to you... I had no idea what was I doing... lol..)

Somehow I did manage to get my HiveFest badge, and I have followed live stream on the @3speak platform and that part was cool... ;)

I hope that I will see you guys soon in-live in some part of the world next year!

Oh, yes... I have promised yesterday that I will reward 2 of you guys who have commented on my post where I was celebrating my 20K staked Hive and 7.5K staked LEO tokens... I have used a random picker and the winners are:

The first prize and the 20 LEO tokens go to...

Thank you for your valuable time,

~ph~

Hehehe... As it was too buggy, I have decided to watch the live stream on 3speak... Much better experience than being lost and confused... :)

I completely missed it due to work. Even set up the space and everything beforehand.
Can't blame you for completely switching to Linux though, but always keep a virtual machine or something with windows on it handy. That way you can do any windows-only stuff on you Linux laptop.

Actually, I wanted to install the app through Wine, but the problem is that the app installation goes through Microshit website, and not as a classic download... And I'm really, but really very ANTI-MS... (I had more bad history about it... lol... )

I hope we will have the HiveFest next year in a real-world...

There was also a link to download it through steam in the registration mail. I missed it the first time around. The MS store also pisses me off trying to sneakily make me use my microsoft accounts I have from other jobs on windows.

I logged on this morning and got into the main area, not much people there though. And loading other areas literally took almost 30 minutes with my shitty internet, so I rage quitted. 😂

As Torrey said in a comment, it was until today, and there will be recording on 3speak and YT, for sure... I was watching live streaming on 3speak...

You are welcome, for the reward... Well deserved!

Lets say it like this... My avatar was there, controlled by my wife who had more patience in a search and exploring the world... lol... As my laptop with integrated graphics and lack of RAM was dying every couple of minutes... lol...

I tried to join Hivefest as well but I got stuck in the loby. I think I tried to use all imaginable keyboard combinations but the check-in computer simply didn't show... I finally gave up frustrated. I then tried to watch the livestream but could only hear the presentator. All the other people just emitted some bubbles LOL.

Those bubbles are annoying a bit... lol... But, it was better today... I was watching live streaming and a couple of presentations today... It was much better than yesterday...

Yes I changed the computer and I even managed to go on to the mainstage on the second day. I met Torry there :-). Unfortunately this was when all the presentations where already finished LOL

Thanks, man! And it's a relief hearing that others also had problems and not just me... I thought that I'm too old for that and losing my "tech spirit"... lol...

loll thanks a lot man! now i saw it, to tell you the truth i didn't even know about the giveaway when i was commenting on your post!

Regarding the windows linux set up, i am windows guy, meaning i have no clue regarding programming so i feel like you felt but for Linux, not windows :P

Also regarding the issue you had with Hive Engine that wasn't working. You can use Leodex for your transactions the fees are cheaper, i think HE has 1%fee and leodex 0,25%

The problem was in H-E "engine", so Leodex wasn't working either, as they are connected to the same source... Anyway, I have managed to send prizes... :) And, I know about deposit fee, so I always use LeoDex for depositing funds... ;)

Cheers!
