Pune Hive Meetup Recap: Small Turnout, One Strong Onboarding 🐝

Hello Hivers 👋

Last Saturday, we आयोजित another Pune meetup focused on introducing the Hive ecosystem and onboarding new users.

Despite ~10 RSVPs and a capacity of 20, only 2 attendees showed up — a reminder that turnout can be unpredictable, especially during extreme summer heat in Pune.

👥 Attendees & Experience

• Tejas (Java developer):

Showed limited interest during the session and did not create an account immediately. However, he mentioned he may join later via self-signup.

• Satish (Web3 developer):
  Highly engaged and curious. Asked detailed questions about:

  • Hive onboarding & account creation
  • Key management & security
  • Returns on HBD/HIVE
  • DHF (Decentralized Hive Fund)
  • Witnesses, inflation, and rewards system

  He successfully got onboarded 🎉
