It was fast to sign up, easy to use and didn't require sensitive information and didn't cost me anything... seems strange... maybe it's just to get me hooked. But the exchange volume is low of course.
EASY SIGN UP
SMALL VOLUME: But it has very little volume for HIVE to BTC trading pair. And I think that's understandable.
FAST ENOUGH: Hive got into my Ionomy wallet pretty fast... i'd say a bit under 2 minutes... and no fee. I did have to refresh to see it there.
TRUST: There are some users I think are solid users that say they know the Ionomy people and they trust them. But that's a third party sort of trust... meaning don't really trust any exchange to hold your tokens long term. Use them but don't store there long term
NO KYC? They have no KYC that I can see... not sure how they get away with that. They do say some features require more info from the user. Haven't come across it yet.
INTERFACE IS INTUITIVE :
NO FEE: Apparently i didn't get charged a fee... not sure how that works either.
Maybe it's an introductory thing
But withdraw fee is super low so that's nice.
AFFILIATE SYSTEM
Apparently they have one and here's my link
Not sure how it works

There is a subscription system that would get you 50% off withdraw and exchange fees but those aren't much for HIVE to begin with. I'll keep using a bit and see how it goes.
This was not an indepth review just early impressions and key details for you. But let me know if you want to know more.
