Hello Hiveans Out There !
Welcome to Hive !
It finally has happened. Since Friday, March 20th, Hive went online. As this is still quite new for all of you I thought that I will give you some guidelines and information about some of the features that are available here and help you to get along better.
Which Frontends can I use !
The Standart Frontend of the Hive blochchain is the one used on https://hive.blog/.
But there are of course also other frontend, as they were before. The Steempeak analogon here on Hive can be found here: https://peakd.com.
Just look up both of them and deside which one suits you better. It actually does not matter where you are login in and from which frontend you are posting from as it will always yield the same results. But always remember to Only Use Your Posting key for every day blogging and keep all your keys safety. Do not tell them to anybody and even keep an offline copy on an USB-stick or print it on a piece of paper too.
If you are using the new PeakD fronend you can also use the comfortable way for login in via Peacklock, a super fast method utilizing a 5-digit code, or via Hive Keychain, a super secure plugin for your Firefox or Chrome browser.
Do you need a list of all your keys ?
I do not know if you knew this already, but there is an easy way to obtain a List Of All Your Keys, so that you can easily store them safely away or print them out. If you are login into the Hive.Blog frontend and enter your Owner Key, you will get this message here and can comfortably download all your keys as a .pdf data file 馃槑 .. thank you 
Change your keys !
There is another thing that I would highly Recommend To you if you are planing to go on using Hive from now on and not Steem anymore. Change Your Keys ! Why do I recommend it ? As you know there are two chains out there now. And actually both of them are using the same set of keys ! I actually do not want to keep the same for both of the chains, especially not as one of them is now centralized and owned by a guy that is known for censoring posts as he wishes. Remember that he has also the power now to do whatever he wants with your account 馃槺
It all still plays by the old rules !
You will directly figure out that nothing has changed to much after switching to the Hive. Your Connections (Followers/Following) are still the same, as well as the communities you have subscribed too. Even your Profile is still the same. The standard payout is set to 50/50 (Hive/HP) and the payout period is 7 days long as usual. But just some advice. There is still Voting Mana in usage. It refills up to 20% per day. So it would be an good advice to do not use more then 20% A Day and to keep it above 80% to maximize your voting impact.
One thing that also stayed the same, which you do not may be aware of, is that you are still voting for the Same Witnesses As Before. So if you are interested in changing yours go and visit the voting page at https://peakd.com/me/witnesses
But One Thing That Has Changed Now, and changed totally, is the switch from the Steem to the New Hive coin. Directly from the beginning you have those Hive coins in your wallet and can use them as you wish to. Thereby they are exactly mirrored from what you had before in your Steem wallet. So if your has 10 STEEM, 5 SBD, and 1000 SP, your now have 10 HIVE, 5 HBD, and 1000 HP. If you want to trade those, the next chapter will be very interesting for you 馃榿
Using Ionomy to trade Steem for Hive tokens !
As you are holding both, Steem as well as Hive tokens, in two different wallets you maybe interested in how to convert your old Steem into the new Hive coin. Of course you are still able to use both chains separately, but If you are like me, you may be more interested in combining both coin stakes into one big stake that you are working with. I have to admit that doing all those exchanges for the first time can be a bit confusing and overwhelming, but for those, who have absolutely no clue how to do this, I have linked an amazing step-by-step guide on how to trade Steem for Hive tokens using Ionomy. This guide was published by 
Thank you for this amazing guide
How to Sign-In to Hive
If you want to get your friends abord the Hive community it is quite easy. You can apply to signup to Hive on this site here: https://signup.hive.io/
There are seveal option to choose from They depend on the time you are willing to wait for getting started and the fees you are willing to pay. There is always a possibility to get complete access for free, but this can take up to 3 days.
Auto-Voter on Hive is online !
Are you familiar with the auto-voting system ? Hive actually implemented an Auto-voter recently and we are all free to use it now. You can find it here: https://hive.vote/.
You can use Hive.Vote for setting up your Fanbase. This Hiveans on that fanbase will then get automated upvotes whenever they release a post. You can adjust the used voting-power, as well as the amount of daily upvotes to that Hiveans. There is also the possibility to follow a Curation Trail if you are interested in those too. A very practical tool indeed 馃槣
Thank you for Your Attention ! .. I hope this was helpful to some of you out there ! Have a great time hiving 馃榿

The Terminal
There is another initiative here on Hive that I would like to bring close to you as I absolutely love them, The Terminal:
It is a great location for LEARNING ABOUT STEEM, Discord, and Hive-related communities, full of nice people that you may ask if you need ASSISTANCE, with nearly everything ^^ You will find documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to form CONNECTIONS with other Hiveans.
It also host the REDFISH RALLY, a funny challenge for all those that are new here to the world of Steem.
The Terminal also hosts the HEYHAVEYAMET project by 
"Your one-stop location for learning about destinations in the Hive blockchain and Discord"
