Pay a little bit to promote it if you have to.
Something we've been thinking about doing once we revive our POSH Twitter account, after we check what the new API usage will cost us. :D
I agree with what you say about sharing Hive naturally and genuinely, this is also a reason we're very strict with @poshtoken, just because there's some rewards there to be had to incentivize and more importantly reward those potentially bringing in traffic to our ecosystem, doesn't mean you should go about it the wrong way. There's many who try to like/retweet trade with others attempting to maximize a token that's meant to reward you a little extra for the effort you're putting into growing your Twitter reach to eventually use it to bring in traffic. They also use bots, some commands that bring in bots, etc. We've made sure that such activity gets nipped in the bud quick so it can't earn any extra rewards and at the same time make others think twice if they want to go down that route.
Still a lot more to fine-tune and the whole poshtoken comment curation needs some incentives as well but looking forward to see it improve over time.
Eventually there's no way people are going to be able to miss finding out about Hive as I don't think there's ever going to be a place similar to it because most won't want to let go of power or stake without making the most on either. They will never go pure #web3 the way Hive is.
I totally agree. I think if we just keep building organically, lightning will eventually strike and someone with a huge audience will write one article or publish one Tweet about Hive and that'll be all it takes. Hive then will grow exponentially in a very short period of time. I think onboarding should be a little easier though. Someone should just have to snap a QR code to create a profile on a mobile app in just a few steps. Does this exist yet? We want the barrier to entry to be no more difficult that the most popular social media app is today.
Haha it's like you're reading my dm's, was just talking about ease of access to Hive with someone and what we can do to improve it, even if it temporarily means not "owning your account" and having a centralized custodian keep track of it until you deem yourself ready to own your keys as long as you get to use hive as soon as you get here. Hope we can come up with a good solution for that (there's already great ideas) and find a way to fund it.
Oh interesting! The keys are really one of the most confusing aspects for people. I hope this can be solved. I can see there being almost like an apprenticeship period where you can only post and comment but then your wallet and earnings are unlocked after a predetermined amount of activity on the blockchain, you then earn a "badge" and you get your keys and can access your wallet.
