When I think of onboarding new Hive members I will admit that I had never, ever considered Dlease. However, as I look a little closer it could be a very useful tool for both trainers AND new users.
But first: What is DLEASE?
In short it allows Hive users to either lease out their HIVE power (delegate their HP) or buy a HIVE power delegation for a fixed amount of time.
Kind of like taking out a HIVE POWER loan. Interest currently being about 10%.
How could that possibly be useful for onboarding???
Well.... Let's make a little assumption that we are going to lease out 10,000 HP for 4 weeks.
It would cost about 29 Hive each week for 4 weeks. So cost is roughly 126 Hive. Kind of expensive but our newbie's are worth it...right?
What will that 10,000 HP get us?
First off it allows us to get a vote which is worth 0.2Hive which we can use 20x per day. Half of that vote goes to us and half goes to the trainee. Assuming that each trainee makes a post a day for the duration and that there are 20 trainees.
20 votes/day * 21 days * 0.2HP/vote -----> 84 HIVE (42 for us, 42 for them)
Not looking too good so far. It cost us 126 Hive and we are getting 84 back...terrible deal! We lost 42 Hive!
However we have a lot of Resource Credits from those 10,000 HP. Now, I have heard a rumor that creating a hive username creation token costs the RC associated with 3000HP and that RC recover over a period of 3 days.
With 10,000 HP that means that we are recovering 3,333HP worth of RC daily. In short we can make ONE new user token daily for 20 days and 3 tokens on the 21st day. Total: 23 new user tokens made! Buying those new user tokens would cost us 3 Hive. The value of 23 tokens is 69 HIVE.
Add that onto the 84 Hive we got from curating reports. Total value we have gotten is 84 + 69 = 153 Hive and we only paid 126 so we have a new gain of 27 Hive!
Sure half of our curation effort goes to the new users.
Sure we are getting new user tokens we may not need right away.
However it does look to have some promise.
Side note: I originally wanted to lease the HP from Dlease to in turn delegate it to 
Don't make that mistake. Leased HP can't be delegated to another user!
Second side note: I had thought...Ohh... Maybe I can use those 0.001HP that I get from 
Just an FYI
and my thoughts on my first encounter with Dlease.
