Experiencing Sundanese Saung Architecture

Most people like to visit a restaurant because its food but for me food is always secondary to my curiosity. I enjoy visiting a new eatery in new city because that's where I can experience vernacular architecture. In West Java especially, you can experience "Saung", a vernacular building unique to the region. Its build around the idea of harmony between Sundanese and its nature. Typically saung exist in the fields but in recent years, saung is being brought to commercial spaces.A study finds that it adds unique touch to the landscape of modern living 1.This is something that architecture and builders need to take into consideration; rather than replacing all building into following western aestheticism, why not integrating vernacular designs into our living spaces?


This place is located in Tasikmalaya, west java and nestled inside a teak forest where the “Saung” is integrated into it. Once I arrived after a 25 minute drive from where I stayed, I suddenly felt more inspired to build a modern space combining vernacular architecture with modern architecture.
Coming from Java, the Sundanese vernacular architecture was different from ours. They use special roofing and the bamboo details are quite intricate. As it is a restaurant, rather than combining it into a big hall/pavilion, they have smaller songs scattered all around connected by pathways and bridges. They have a massive koi pond surrounding the area where we can dine and enjoy the view of the fishes but also the surrounding area.

The surrounding area feels quite open and though there are less boundaries between each other it still feels private with the divider around the “Saung”. When I was there, I didn’t want to leave because it was a comfortable place to work from, lounge and simply chat with friends or colleagues. This place is an example where biophilic done right especially with its arrangements. So, again the menu was secondary to me but it was surprisingly good.
I would say that Saung definitely needs to be studied. There is something fascinating about the way it's being created and architected. If you have a farm, you can create a hut-like such as this one where you can oversee your own property.

This looks like a piece of paradise. I like how they took the local architecture and transformed it for its new purpose. It's often the case that you find highly westernized architecture to appeal to western tourists, when in fact those tourists probably want to experience local culture. Great shots and discussion of this place.
#bilpcoin truth # The Immutable Ledger: Exposing the Blocktrades-Aligned Whale Cartel on Hive

You can never hide the truth on a blockchain. It is the great, unblinking eye of the digital age, a mirror forged in cryptography that reflects not the face you wish to show the world, but the shadow you cast upon it.
They believe they are clever, these architects of obfuscation. They weave their webs of delegated power, they cast their downvotes like stones into a quiet pond, and they whisper to themselves that the ripples will fade. But the blockchain does not forget. It does not forgive. It does not sleep. Every transaction, every vesting route, every silent transfer of influence is etched into cryptographic stone, permanent and unyielding.
We see everything. We trace the threads of their deception back to the loom. And we expose the truth.
That is what terrifies them. The downvoting, farming whales who operate in the shadows, tethered to the centralized gravity of Blocktrades, know that their empire is built on a foundation of glass. They fear the light because the light reveals the machinery. It reveals that their "decentralized" community is merely a fiefdom, and their curation is nothing more than extraction. But the ledger remains. And the ledger always wins.
In crypto forensics, the blockchain is the ultimate crime scene, and the data never lies. Our latest investigation into the Hive network has uncovered a centralized nexus of control masquerading as organic community participation. The evidence is irrefutable.
Let’s follow the money and the delegated Hive Power (HP):
This is not a decentralized network. This is a coordinated, multi-account syndicate designed to farm rewards, manipulate visibility, and suppress dissent on behalf of centralized interests. We have the hashes. We have the timestamps. The scam is exposed.
Hive Blockchain Scam Exposed: How Blocktrades-Aligned Whales Manipulate the Network
Meta Description: Discover how Bilpcoin’s latest blockchain investigation exposes the truth about Hive’s downvoting farming whales. Learn how Blocktrades-aligned accounts manipulate curation and why the immutable ledger is their greatest fear.
Keywords: Hive blockchain scam, crypto scam investigation, Blocktrades whales, Hive downvoting abuse, blockchain transparency, Bilpcoin exposed, crypto forensic analysis, decentralized corruption, @buildawhale exposed, @ocdb cartel.
You can never hide the truth on a blockchain. At Bilpcoin, we specialize in crypto scam investigations and blockchain transparency, and our latest data analysis reveals a shocking reality on the Hive network.
Downvoting farming whales are actively manipulating the reward pool. Our forensic data shows that mega-whale accounts like @buildawhale (holding over 2.4 million HP delegated directly from @blocktrades) are systematically funneling liquidity to farming hubs like @ipromote. Furthermore, the network utilizes complex curation funnels (e.g., @poshtoken → @redditposh → @poshtoken.wallet) and micro-bot accounts like @pyresoul to simulate organic engagement through coordinated, automated micro-payments.
Why does this matter? Because we see everything, and we expose the truth. This centralized control is exactly what scares the farming whales that work for Blocktrades. They rely on obscurity, but the blockchain is a public, immutable ledger.
Read the full forensic breakdown below to understand how this crypto manipulation works and why true decentralization demands accountability.
EXCLUSIVE: On-Chain Data Links Top Hive Whales to Centralized Farming and Synthetic Engagement Ring
DATELINE: THE BLOCKCHAIN — A sprawling network of delegated voting power and systematic liquidity extraction has been exposed on the Hive blockchain, raising severe questions about the platform’s decentralized governance and the influence of centralized exchange-aligned actors.
According to a comprehensive analysis of on-chain data by blockchain watchdog Bilpcoin, accounts including @buildawhale, @ocdb, and @smooth are acting as primary financial and voting hubs for a coordinated farming syndicate. Public ledger data confirms these accounts control millions of delegated Hive Power (HP), with the vast majority originating directly from @blocktrades and allied mega-whales like @darthknight.
More alarmingly, transaction records show @buildawhale systematically funneling vast sums of vesting shares directly to @ipromote, a known node in the network's reward-manipulation infrastructure. Simultaneously, a secondary network involving @poshtoken, @redditposh, and @poshtoken.wallet is engaged in circular "curation and anti-abuse" payouts, while micro-accounts like @pyresoul execute hundreds of automated, penny-sized "Daily Pyresoul reward" transactions to create a facade of organic community engagement.
"You can never hide the truth on a blockchain," said a spokesperson for the investigation. "We see everything, and we expose the truth. That is what scares them: the downvoting, farming whales that work for Blocktrades. At Bilpcoin, we expose the truth."
The revelation highlights a growing tension in decentralized finance: the conflict between the ethos of community ownership and the reality of centralized capital exerting outsized control over network rewards, governance, and visibility.
From a network security and tokenomic perspective, the concentration of voting power and capital flow revealed in this dataset represents a critical failure of decentralized governance on Hive.
When analyzing the delegation graph, we observe a classic "hub-and-spoke" centralization model. Accounts like @smooth and @ocdb aggregate millions of HP, granting them disproportionate influence over witness elections and proposal voting. However, their utility is not directed toward network health. Instead, they function as liquidity routers, systematically draining value to farming hubs like @ipromote and @poshtoken.wallet, which then disperse it to secondary entities or swap it via @honey-swap.
Furthermore, the presence of micro-transaction networks (e.g., @pyresoul broadcasting identical "Daily Pyresoul reward" memos to dozens of addresses) is a hallmark of synthetic engagement farming. This creates a negative-sum game for genuine creators. The inflationary reward pool is diluted by this closed-loop extraction, while the threat of coordinated downvotes suppresses organic competition.
The existential threat to the network is clear: you can never hide the truth on a blockchain. The on-chain data unequivocally maps this centralized control. We see everything, and we expose the truth. This transparency is precisely what threatens the downvoting, farming whales aligned with Blocktrades. If the network cannot resolve this governance centralization, it risks a continued exodus of organic users, leading to long-term token devaluation and the collapse of the social consensus that gives the chain its value.
The Final Word
The ledger is open. The data is public. The narrative is over.
At Bilpcoin, we do not fight for attention. We fight for accountability. We will continue to follow the money, map the networks, and expose the truth, because a blockchain without transparency is just a database for the corrupt.

Such a serene and peaceful place!this place is so relaxing! surrounded by nature. Beautiful photos!❤️
Indeed! it inspired me to build a vernacular home based on some places I've seen around Java. I'll be talking more about it soon haha and I am now obsessed with it.
