Yup, I know what you mean by "doing more for hive", so I did set up the Hive and Hive-engine witnesses (both on account @botlord ;-) your votes are welcomed ;-) ). However, as you suspected, it takes some time to set up and get them running, but after that it is mostly maintenance. So I also took my development skills, and started building stuff for Hive. That does the trick for me!
