Ok yeah i thought you were talking about CREATING an account which is incredibly simple. But storing keys and dealing with keys is a brand new and often challenging world for most new users. Agreed.
Also the aspect of having them do their own transactions by running independent software (keychain, peaklock or hivesigner). They're used to having the website do the transactions for them. However keys come with ownership and that's the main product in my opinion that we offer that other content platforms do not offer and keys and several independent signing tools are the main reason we can offer true ownership. So it's hard to be mad at the complexity of keys ... BUT... we still need to find a creative solution to helping new users.
That's why it would be nice to have an easy way to create wallets with a simple pair of keys (like ETH) that can only store and transfer tokens. These addresses could be some alphanumeric mess to distinguish them from "social" Hive accounts.
It increases safety because people have an easy and familiar way to store HIVE off exchanges.
we are one of the only blockchains to have "human readable" addresses. In that sense we are more user friendly than all those other blockchains. This is our advantage.
Ofc. But it needs to be obvious to distinguish a light account from a "social" one. And we don't need to create an easy way to squat names.
