The point in the OP here was to highlight to the dApp operators that their signup processes are either totally broken or not optimal, in case they were unaware.. and to also generally highlight this issue to the community so that everyone can be better informed about why the performance of Hive is lower than expected. People have been using Hive's low performance to try to justify drastic change to Hive that I personally disagree with. It's not reasonable for them to try to pin the blame for Hive's problems on the mere fact that a rewards pool exists when its clear that new users aren't even able to signup in many cases.

My point about your finances is that you wanted me to vote for you to get you into the top 20 witness slots on the premise that you need the money in order to pay to run an API node. Since I have reservations about the implications for Hive if you have such a power position, based on your repeating tendency to use massive downvoting as a weapon to try to dominate people and get your own way - I opted not to vote for you. I then simply pointed out that you already receive large amounts of Hive anyway from your holdings.

If your intention is genuinely to grow Hive for the good of the platform then it isn't unreasonable for me to suggest that it doesn't matter that much which of Hive's rewards pools that your funding comes from, you could still use some of what Hive pays you to fund an API server.

In the context of the onboarding situation, I am not aware of the ways in which you are suggesting that you would directly improve Hive's onboarding, you are welcome to point me to your plans. Thanks.
