The idea making this tokens transferable was recently discussed here if interested: https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/hive/-/issues/35
Doesn't look like we'll see such a feature reading the ticket.
Delegation aren't provided yet - even with 0 HIVE POWER there is a pool of ressource credits which will make sure blockchain transactions can be done on a basic level. Do you see any downsides not providing initial delegations?
It severely limits the accounts. You could point users to https://giftgiver.site for free delegations for now until you can get your own delegation system setup.
Really good idea -> Will do!
I understand that you may be using the delegated Hive power to give supportive initial upvotes, but I'd recommend also using it to supply small initial delegations of 5-10 HP. Until resource credits can be delegated independently, it makes sense to use your supporter delegations fully, and not let the HP go to waste. It could provide a much smoother first couple weeks for new users.
