It's 7am and I should be in bed. Instead, I am here at my PC writing again. Yesterday I onboarded a new person to HIVE and remembered how hard it was.
The last time I did this was in the STEEM days (over a year ago) and it took me weeks to get @grindle up to speed. Why is it so fucking hard, it frustrates the shit out of me that the HIVE world is so alien to Facebook users?
@amy-explores is a new HIVE blogger so please welcome her and understand that she does not know the ropes.
I sometimes feel like a week’s course is necessary to get someone up and running on HIVE. This is by no means a complaint and I will always welcome new people on to HIVE especially if they have something to offer.
I have sent Amy all my older ‘Demystifying HIVE’ articles I previously wrote, but there is so much to take in it can be overwhelming.
Maybe we need a community that has a repo of tutorials. @indigoocean did some videos some time ago, but what else do we have?
@nickyhavey is good at doing these, can you help out mate I can’t do it all!
I do feel the still crappy price of our native token is well under what it should be. If this marketing plan of @lordbutterfly’s (which has now been approved) kicks off then we are going to need all the tutorials we can get for the forthcoming masses.
Fortunately, @amy-explores was quite determined yesterday to create her own account after numerous obstacles and managed it without much help.
It’s all so alien. Your password is now 4 massive long strings of numbers and keys that you can't possibly remember and which one do I use?
It’s enough to put anyone off and I can hear the mutters of, ‘I really can’t be arsed with all this’ on their remote machines.
So this is short content for me, as I just want to exasperate my frustrations with the difficulty of signing up. It's getting better with Leo Finance, but it's far from perfect.
What we need is ‘Sign-up with your Facebook credentials', Twitter is good, but Facebook is the killer option and the one HIVE (or LEO) needs.
