Although I've been pretty sure that Hive resource credits will become a hugely important mechanism for the future of Hive, I'm sure it's also super frustrating to brand new members who can't run the transactions they need to play. Totally agree that not everything needs to be on the blockchain itself... I'm sure lots of Hive Witnesses will be thrilled that their servers won't explode with all the recent increases in transactions. I think people forget that with blockchain technology, every server that runs a node usually also has to download and keep every transaction that's ever been placed on the blockchain forever and ever. That's a lot to store and maintain.
