Getting started with everything we wanted to learn is the very basic and D.Buzz is indeed no exemption. D.Buzz is a microblog built in the Hive blockchain. It is a decentralized application or Dapp built on top of the Hive blockchain which means that everytime we make a buzz it will be automatically posted into the Hive Blockchain.
According to Nathan Senn (
The censorship and total control of the company behind those dominant social media platforms is one of the driving force for the creation of D.Buzz. This is what Chris Rice (
D.Buzz feature of being a decentralized censorship resistant social media app, ensures transparency, prevents manipulation and protects the free speech of users in the platform.
Joining the D.Buzz community and its platform is considered as one of the easiest way to dive into the cryptocurrency sphere and to understand fully the Hive blockchain ecosystem. D.Buzz is also the easiest way in terms of onboarding into the Hive community because with this platform, all you need is an internet connection a smartphone and a valid and fully registered cellphone number.
The easiest way to get on board or join D.Buzz is to find a mentor or you can go directly to the official onboarding page of D.Buzz which can be found at https://join.d.buzz/. Just open a browser on desktop or your phone, either through Google Chrome or through Brave browser.
You can also open a link from a friend who send you a link on how to join D.Buzz and together with the link is their affiliate link to the program.
For me my affiliate link can be found at https://join.d.buzz/@philnews.xyz. It is indeed a simple affiliate link which is not nocluttered and proved to be more effective, thanks to the dev teams of D.Buzz.
As a newcomer to the Hive blockchain and the D.Buzz community all you need to do is to choose a username, as much as possible the username should be easy to remember and relevant to your future plans on how to use that certain account. For bloggers like me, I suggested to use my brand in joining the community but you can also use a username that is relevant to your name or your profession.
After choosing the right username for you as your identity with the Hive blockchain all you need to do next is to input your cellphone number and viola click continue.
The next page will then provide the most important things to remember when joining the platform, D.Buzz will then send an important account information which should be downloaded or copied in a secure folder or anywhere in your PC or mobile phone and it should be easier to access because we need all those details in the next process of onboarding into the Hive blockchain through D.Buzz.
All the information provided is very important to all users of D.Buzz and the Hive blockchain because without all these keys you can no longer recover your account in the blockchain. The information provided should be kept securely by the owner.
It contains the username of the D.Buzz community member and Hive blockchain user as well as his master password. There are different Private Keys which should be made available and should the user provide once needed.
The Private keys have different set of passwords for the Owner Key, the Active Key, the Posting Key and the Memo Key. Each Private keys have their different uses inside the Hive blockchain. We will discuss further in the next succeeding articles the different uses of all the Private keys while using the Hive blockchain and it's ecosystem.
After securing all the vital information provided by D.Buzz and Hive blockchain as a whole, we will proceed by accepting the terms and conditions as well as a disclaimer that as a user you declared that you already understand the requirements of safely securing these private keys and proceed to the next step.
D.Buzz will then send to input the cellular phone number that you used during the application and onboarding process. Just re-input the phone number and a one time pass code verification will be sent to your phone immediately. It is a six-digit code that is needed for the next step.
Once you input the cellular phone number which the owner of the account used during the onboarding process a six-digit one time passcode verification will be sent to the owner of the said phone number. Just simply input the number and you're good to go.
After clicking the verify button your account with D.Buzz and the Hive blockchain will then be created. This is considered as the easiest way to get onboard with the popular Hive blockchain and we should be thankful to the D.Buzz dev teams for making the onboarding process as easy as possible.
Meanwhile, this is what will happen if you will use the same IP address by a member who is already a member of D.Buzz, during the onboarding process. You will be given the following options for onboarding.
For those individuals who failed to get on board with D.Buzz, rest assured that the dev teams behind this microblogging platform are doing their best to integrate other ways to get you onboard. This is just a simple guide for all beginners out there.
