Hey, a very late reply.
I actually got my first sale last week. 😄 but still far ways to　go.
Hivepay by the CTP tribe and @jongolson is looking good. It is like they are thinking of all aspects of payments. I recently installed it in my woocomerce shop. It is pretty much plug and go.
I doubt they are gonna include fiat payments in the Hive-engine market place, I am not sure if it is even a thing anymore. But websites like mine and others can offer all the payments we want.
Yeah, a dev is hard to find, it might make sense to be one or get someone you know interested in learning.
Thats an approach, but with none experienced devs, not so good solutions will be build. Not a problem to work with some starting devs, but when I start spending considerable time on building a service, I'll take a 100% professional approach since I'll be trying to get the real businesses onboard. That really requires experienced devs. I like for HIVE to take the next step. So far so good: Most of the projects show passion and willingness to create something, but most of the projects lake a professional approach which is required to onboard the brands I'm thinking of.
Thats super cool!
To reach the mass, fiat is required. That said, adding fiat means dealing with the authorities and their regulations which is time consuming and one needs a serious business approach. Can't be a side project of some sort like many of the HIVE projects seem to be.
