lol omg i remember bernie hahahahah omg if u didnt mention him in ur comment i wouldnt even have remembered bernie... that last period before the fork were crazy anyways that is why i always send 1 hive to a new address to see if it foes through then i send the rest being extra careful always maybe a mechanism that will force you to send a small amount first for new addresses at least or if you chose to keep the option always on its up to you. Also there must be a way to communicate with the wallet you want to send funds to, like a signature key or something that lets you know its the right wallet in that way you dont have to actually send anything even if a small quantity, i dont know im just a dude.
I actually came here by searching how much time do I need to wait for payouts from delegation, the search engine has always been misleading also but in this case im glad i found you lol.
I am delegating some HP to leo.voter for the last 3 days or so and didnt get nothing yet I tried to communicate with everybody but had no luck, inleo.io also doesnt have any support and the site doesnt load some pages so its been a bummer really. I am thinking of revoking my delegation and delegate to @qurator and @ecency idk see another thing about this ecosystem is no matter what platform you access there arent any standard guidelines to follow when getting started and so one has to do a lot of research, switch between dapps, talk to people in hope they reply back and really its kinda discouraging and i can imagine overwhelming for the witnesses and helpers in general.
Therefore I think that a standard page that summarizes what new users need to know to get started right off must be available in all dapps present and future and updated seamlessly throughout all platforms and websites. This is crucial because some people come for the money and they need to be able to find and chose who they want to delegate their HP depending on rewards etc, so that will create competitiveness between the delegees and at the same time reinforce the ecosystem because it will reply directly to the peoples choice, not everybody is a blogger or an artist in fact if you want mass adoption you need to involve all people and to do so you need a monetary incentive, everybody understand money and people will gladly delegate their power in return for some benefits. this will increase curation rewards and the participation of everybody that wants to join. This is all happening of course but i feel in a scattered way, we need to consolidate the delegation service in a way that everybody has a clear path on what they can do but it has to be coordinated with all interfaces. Something like "Are you new here?! get started by click the button below" and... "Are you ready to buy some HIVEs?! Chose from the different payments methods below"... "Don't know how to pay?! Don't worry just follow these steps!"... "Are ready to delegate some HP, want to know who has the best daily payouts at the moment?! Check the list below! Click on their description for detailed insights! Unsure yet on who to chose?! Check out our Delegation advisory page based on users reviews and upvotes! Don't forget to have fun!!". Users should be able to start off immediately after signing up just like fb, X and yt with emails and 2fa then later on they can learn about how to access using the different keys and the importance of it but not at the start its just overwhelming to see all these numbers and letters strings, kinda scary I would add. Support must be paramount and help out newbies engage immediately otherwise we will continue having rising inactive accounts which serve nobody. omg I ranted x) sorry for the lengthy comment :|
