We do need a smooth onboarding process that does not encourage 'bad actors' (but actual bad actors are okay). I think an invitation system where you could automatically allocate a given person some delegation would be good. We know people are willing to install apps for other platforms, so Keychain should not be such a big deal.
Perhaps it could integrate more with things like peakd and ecency to simplify things more. e.g. new user is given keys to import into Keychain and then gets a button to log them directly into one of those front ends. You just can't really get away from having to let them control their keys.
There needs to be simple backup of keys too. Keychain has a way to transfer them to a new device via QR code, but perhaps it could export them to things like Google Drive or other apps, preferably with a password.
Most users will not be technical so everything needs to be as simple as possible, but not simpler than that :)
Easy inboarding and integration in front-ends is key. There are some good initiatives. I've even seen some more after publishing this blog.
I'm hopeful for the near future!
I’d say we should figure out & ficus on not bleeding longtime active users before dreaming about non crypto normies. We are so far from this being the issue, we can’t even retain daily hive users with the DHF protests and other issues the past 24 months. We have bled not casual but active post daily type users the past year, but now onboarding ease is the focus to attract non crypto users? This is a pipe dream of a concern if one is honest.
Of course we have various issues here, but we also have a proven platform that people are building on. The price is an issue, but the markets control that. I'm not going anywhere.
I’m not worried about price.
I see every other metric flashing red flags. I’m powering down. Wish you all the best!
At this point I don’t care about powering down to get value out, I powered down only twice, in 2021 selling 100K hive above $2.00 & Jan 2025 above .44, it was obvious we were having ridiculous unsustainable pumps both times so I sold 90% of stake both times.
Now I don’t see much point as I left 5K for giggles when I powered down 33K stake to sell above .40 15 months back. But that said I’m powering down in protest of DHF fraud & abuse & waste anyway. I knew leaving stake would likely collapse but as a daily hive user until recently I wanted to keep some. Now I am just disgusted by what I see from many whales & witnesses. Total denial from devs on where we are & DHF slush fund style proposals are rejected by 90% of accounts but whales keep supporting & pushing them above return. I’m left with one thing to do to show my own vote, powering down all of it. We will decline another 50% plus next two years so maybe at .02 cents I’ll buy some for giggles & fun but right now a signal needs to be sent since those in governance roles keep going down this road. HBD APR is way 2 high, DHF needs heavy reductions since we are bleeding in every metric, instead we get milk it and It’s very clear they are milking it for selfish reasons. I got my original investment out of 125K hive I bought mostly around a dime In 2020, for $2.00 average on most of it years back, and got most I earned since 2021 out at pump to .67 in early 2025. So I’m house money 20 times over, but still I feel I’m left with only powering down as a way to vote what I feel is needed.
