To be honest with you, i think Hive is not ready to be marketted on a large scale. There still needs a lot to be done/built.
The only person/people who has taken advantage Hive's second layer is a super long time steem hive witness and has made a success out because of two important factors, the layer works, and he knows his way around. 2 products that are basically floating hive, the Hive engine and Splinterlands.
Are Hive's API's easy to access and developer friendly? Are there easily accessible tools?
Imagine Hives second layer is marketted to you a.k.a Hive-engine, and you have an already grown/growing community, how easy is it for you to set up your tribe and custom interface without having to go sleepless nights on Hive-engine's discord room(no offence to hive-engine guys). Can it be set up in less than 10steps with ad revenue model and other options?
Is hive engine even done developing?
Personally, i think if anything, hive should direct more resources into hiring more developers to further break down the work load and work on more things.
When the tools are made easily available, then maybe aggressive marketting can begin.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I'm not talking about "Large scale" marketing but a minimum at least to say that we are working on something. We have to create expectations.
Who is working on "accessible" Tools?
Why not informing the rest of the mankind that Easy-tools are in development?
Where is the roadmap?
Why not adopting measures that others have implemented and work pretty well?
As far as I know, next step is the decentralization of HIVE-ENGINE. This is a good new and a good advertisement as well...what's next for Hive?
btw, which blockchain is ready and "easy available" for developers according to you?
No one, can you imagine that? Blocktrades and co are tied up with core blockchain development. The closest we have to "accessible" tools, is Hive engine, and even that is slow because, not enough developers.
Because there is non in development, at least for now, Hive is still "on the way" to making easy tools. Hive just completed an HF that separated it from being a Steem replica. The chain is still barely stabilizing, I wonder what's next on the table.
Others? Do you mean other DPOS chains? Like which?
Yep, I totally agree, we need all hands on deck for this, its high time we have a focus rather than waiting on some SMT's,. Maybe when its ready then we can go all out on marketing and even onboard 2 external communities for free to show them what we've got. That should be what's next.
Lastly, ethereum is more easily available for devs imo, I may be wrong.
We need more hands on development on Hive

We don't have to go so far, not even to take any other blockchain, measures as the ones that LEO has implemented are easy also to be implemented on HIVE
I fully agree, and it leads to very same question, "How do we attract developers to HIVE?" in order to develop those missing "accessible" tools?

Marketing lol...or hiring.
