RE: Our ’attract-users-to-Hive' problem - halfway solved

It is too hard to get on hive and get started. I'm almost 50. It was a real struggle to get here. This is not the case on Youtube or Amazon. You don't have to go to "peakA" to get on Amazon or even login. You just type in Amazon.com and away you go. Then, if you want to buy something, you have a lot of options for payment. It's easy. It must be just as easy to get on hive, and see content and buy the crypto. If it doesn't get way easier the hive is toast.

Yes - I can believe that. And you need to understand the concept of having an own blog which needs to attract users. I can imagine that the several-keys-issue (which is really good in fact) will be more easy to handle in the future. As you can read above @jarvie/PeakD is working at that issue. In fact it's easy - different 'passwords' for different actions - but for many most 'non-tech-people' it's a challenge to handle different passwords for different website-logins.

In addition it's difficult to start without having 'your friends' (like on fb) already here. So I think it would be good to push newbies into one or more community first. I guess that can help and it might be easier to get some first encouraging upvotes (to get a positive feeling and to tell others) than make users to follow their own blog.
Buying cryptos is another issue. It won't be easier to exchange FIAT currencies to cryptos in the future. New users on Hive don't think of buying cryptos/HIVE at the beginning - the want to earn some out of nothing. That's why they get a delegation of 15 HP aa a start (I guess that's still the way). I think that's already a good and easy start.
It might be good to offer a graphics (if you have less than let's say 50 HP) that shows what the user still can so with the left 'power' (x posts/comments (let them know that each post edit is a new post), y upvotes,...).
