I don't know how viable this would be, but I like that you are thinking creatively about how to extract value from the platform. There are those of us who would love to make money but we don't really put a lot of thought or effort into it. We collect our paychecks, save and spend prudently. We are not entrepreneurs at heart. But the entrepreneur class drives the world, drives the economy. If you can find a way to appeal to that class of participants, Hive will grow. So, I applaud you. I don't really understand it, because I get a headache when I try to think of creative ways to make money. But that's the name of the game--being creative about making money. The more challenged our economy (Hive, USA, the world) becomes, the greater the importance of entrepreneurs.
