How did Spinterlands add value to Hive?

Splinterlands added games and NFTs to Hive. As someone who is like a minnow in a pond, we see another feature in the pond. It is attactive and shiny. But it is much more than that. Splinterlands, not only adds an attraction to the users already in Hive, it also helps onboard users on to Hive itself from the crypto-currency user community, and the no-coiner community.

I opened Splinterlands, and I saw the funding options included Paypal. I really really dislike Paypal, but using a payment option that allows fiat only users to fund the account and get started is a great boon for adding to the community. This is why Splinterlands has added value to Hive, and the token of Hive as new users come into the space.

Hive Keychain doesn't need to be a full wallet

Hive Keychain should let wallets do the work. I don't agree with it doing everything in the extension itself. When online wallets do these things quite well. It should sign, and display what it is signing in an easy to understand format. Currently, during development of my not so publicized project, I have used to sign a multi-user transaction. That's great.

Hive Keychain needs a usecase for those who don't already have Hive accounts.

Perhaps stoodkev@stoodkev, will think I have been smoking the wrong plant. I hope he is reading this now. Hive Keychain being a tool for authentication with websites that use Hive key for such, limits the user base tremendously to the number of active Hive users.

By making it also a password manager, the appeal can be extended to pretty much anyone who uses the world wide web in general. Hive users would not also need to logon to a separate password manager but more importantly some users who had never used Hive before could start using it when they already have the Keychain software installed.

What do you think of making Hive Keychain a password manager? Let me know in the comments.
