The ole beating someone over the head with a banjo tune always gets stuck in my head after hearing it...

If you're swapping, blocktrades might be the easiest. https://blocktrades.us/en/trade

That'll move small amounts from the steem wallet to the Hive wallet effortlessly. Sign up with email. Confirm email. Tick the boxes so you're converting Steem to Hive. Enter in your Hive address then click the 'get deposit address'. I do the transfer manually, your given the account name and memo. Simply leave that tab running, open new tab, go to steemit wallet, transfer whatever to the account with the memo (use copy/paste and double check), complete the transfer and the Hive will be in your wallet.

I'd wait though. This current Hive pump doesn't seem too realistic. I think the value could drop quite a bit... but I also could be dead wrong. I gave up trading as well, long ago. Too much of a headache and it makes me feel like a loser.
