Now that you can claim and create accounts I imagine you'd use them as either alternative accounts or give them away to people you want to sign up. My advice would be to save them up until our network becomes clogged, as the value of accounts could easily skyrocket within a year.
Personally I think it's very impressive that I can talk about Hive to someone and if they ask me, "Cool, how can I sign up?" I can just be like, "Boom, signed you up right here, here's your account." It was a very big problem in 2017 that it took weeks for ppl to get accounts. The RC system still hasn't been stress tested, and we obviously have a lot of work to do.
I actually spent all my account tokens (over 1000) and already used them to make accounts. I think the namespace on Hive is valuable and I wanted to lock in those wallets and put them under my control. Eventually the plan is to create the website Love Handles that will make it very easy to onboard users in addition to buying and selling accounts. This will be a very important development once we have more games here. Selling accounts in the gaming industry has very high demand.
