This morning, when I opened x.com, I came across a few really interesting posts. Some people showed creative ideas using their laptop camera, or an external webcam, to control parts of their screen with simple hand gestures. That caught my attention right away.

Since I have been spending a lot of time experimenting with Google's AI Studio lately, I thought to myself, why not try to build something similar? I imagined how cool it would be if I could scroll through the new hive.io website using only my hand. No mouse, no keyboard, just gestures in the air.

So I gave it a try. I uploaded a few lines of code, used my webcam, and asked the AI agent to help me build a simple prototype. It took a few prompts, some back and forth adjustments, and about 45 minutes in total. But finally, it worked! As you can see in the short video I made, I am able to scroll the Hive.io page just by moving my hand in front of the camera.

This simple prototype feels like a small step into something much bigger. I think there are many creative things we can build when we combine AI tools with everyday devices like a webcam. The technology behind this kind of interaction is often based on machine learning models that detect motion, key points on the hand, or even gestures like waving or pinching.

Now that I have a working version, I am excited to explore more wild and fun ideas. Maybe controlling menus, flipping through images, or even navigating Hive dApps with nothing but hand signals?

Let’s see where this goes!

In this quick video, I show you how easy it is to change the PIN on your Hive debit card.

When I first set up my card, I chose a simple PIN — 1212 — but let’s be honest, sometimes you just want to update it, especially if someone might have seen it. Here’s what I did to change the actual PIN-Code of my Hive Debit Card.

I went to https://hivedebit.com, clicked “My Card” at the bottom right, and scanned my card. I entered my old PIN (1212) and selected the “Change PIN” option. Then I set a new one — 1414 in my case — and confirmed it by writing the new one to the card.

To test it, I tried a small $2 payment with the old PIN, which failed (as expected), and then with the new PIN, which went through instantly.

Hey everyone, louis here again. After setting up my Hive debit card, I figured you might want to know how to check what’s left on it. It’s super easy.

You just head over to https://hivedebit.com. At the bottom right, there’s a “My Card” option. Click it, hit “Scan Card”, and hold your Hive debit card to the back of your phone. Then enter your PIN — mine’s 1212 for the demo. Right away, I can see my remaining balance — in this case, 8 HBD — plus how much I’ve spent so far and a list of my recent transactions. Quick and simple.

Hope that helps. See you next time, and as always, thanks for the support!

Hey everyone, it’s louis here. Just wanted to share something quick and useful — I made my own Hive debit card, and it actually works like a charm.

So here’s what I did. I bought a stack of blank NFC cards version 215 or 216 on Amazon, cost me around 20 to 30 cents each. Cheap and easy. You’ll want a spare Hive account for security — I used my test account loupics. Maybe create your own and call it "yourname.card" or whatever fits for you.

**Now for the setup:** I grabbed my private active key from Hive Keychain (Android only for now), copied it, and went to https://hivedebit.com. I clicked on “create a card,” filled in my account name and a simple PIN like 1212. Set a daily spending limit — I chose $10 just to try it out — and pasted in my private key copied from Hive Keychain. (Attention! The Key is shown as Real Text and should be invisible at this point.)

Once that’s done, I held the NFC card at the back of my phone and **boom — it wrote the data instantly**. **Super smooth**.

To test it further, I created a $2 invoice for my main account louis88, tapped to pay with the card, entered the PIN, and the payment went through **immediately**. No fuss. **Hive magic**.

That’s it. Hive debit cards — real, working, and surprisingly easy to set up.

Oh, and if you like this kind of stuff i'm doing, don’t forget to vote for my Hive Witness at louis.witness Thanks!

Here are some highlights from a gaming Session yesterday in CS:2 nicely combined by Allstar.gg which u can get for free, if you have Leetify - If theres a Knife-Kill in a Round you need to write in chat: "Get Leetify" and you get a day of Leetify Pro for free :)

Today at Web3Amsterdam (March 14, 2025) https://web3amsterdam.com, I listened to @crimsonclad, and let me tell you, she made blockchain sound fun! She started by admitting she was just a regular person when she first got into crypto in 2016. No tech background, no Web3 knowledge, just someone who suddenly thought, "Wait, why don’t I own my own data?" That question led her into the blockchain world, where she found Hive! A blockchain designed for social interaction, content monetization, and giving Big Tech a run for its money.

One of her key points was that where people gather, markets form. Makes sense, right? If people can sell NFTs of pixelated ducks, then clearly we can rethink how online economies work. But the early days of "social media on the blockchain" got a little crazy. Some projects told people to sell shares of themselves to their friends, cash out, and disappear rich. Surprisingly, that did not go well.

Hive, though, is different. No pre-mined tokens, no hidden funds for some crypto elites, just a real decentralized network. It actually started because the community broke away from an older blockchain to create something fairer. Basically, a blockchain rebellion, but without pitchforks. Another big topic was data ownership and digital freedom. @crimsonclad made it clear: our online activity is worth a lot, but right now, big companies profit from it while we get nothing. Web3 changes that. Instead of being the product, we can take control of our data and decide how we use it. The best part? She wasn’t trying to sell anything. She just said, "Use this open-source tech and stop getting ripped off by Web2." Hive was built to make blockchain actually usable. No need to approve a transaction every time you do something. Just fast, smooth, and built for real-world use.

Honestly, it was one of the most down-to-earth crypto talks I’ve heard. And any speaker who can make decentralization sound exciting deserves some credit. 🚀

Today was another perfect Sunday spent playing a few rounds of CS:2 on our all-time favorite map, Inferno. With the Intel Extreme Masters currently taking place in Cologne, Germany, we felt inspired to jump into the action ourselves and get some intense rounds in.

I’m excited to share some of the highlights from today’s session with you. You can check them out in the video I’ve linked below. A big shoutout to Allstar.gg for their support - they took my gameplay and turned it into some awesome snippets that really capture the best moments.

Are you playing CS:2 as well? I’d love to hear about your experiences or even catch a game together sometime!
