Buying DEC for Splinterlands with Rewards from Tinyman DEX Farming Pools on Algorand Blockchain

I'm recently figuring out ways to invest a bit more in my Gold Foil Collection. A couple of years ago, I spent a lot of time on the Algorand Blockchain, but somehow lost sight of it a little bit.

When visiting Tinyman Exchange again after a while, I noticed there was an Airdrop of Tinyman's own TINY token. As I've been contributing liquidity to the Dex for multiple years now, the Airdrop was at least not totally useless ;-)

I immediately started swapping it for Stables and converted my dust to Algorand - and used all of it to provide liquidity. When browsing Tinyman a little bit, I noticed there's new incentives: you can use your Liquidity Pool tokens to gain additional rewards in TINY / ALGO and others.

So, what now? I wanted to have DEC for Splinterlands on HIVE and not additional assets in Algorand (although I really like the Blockchain). In the end, the way is quick and also kind of simple. The steps I've done to have DEC:

1. Swap Rewards on Tinyman for USDC
2. Send USDC to Binance on Algorand (you can select the blockchain when configuring where to receive the USDC; Wallets->Spot->Deposit->USDC on Mobile App)
3. Swap USDC on Binance for HIVE (Trade->Convert on Mobile APp)
4. Send HIVE to Hive Blockchain (Wallets->Crypto->Hive->Withdraw->Send via Crypto Network on Mobile App; address is your hive username, no memo needed)
5. Deposit on Hive Engine, buy DEC with HIVE

It's really good to have this additional way of getting some DEC on my accounts, because I wanted to reduce FIAT usage.
