Hello everyone,
I've tried to join Steem a year or two ago and I remember that I had problems back then with the registration process. I believe they closed registrations for a short time and I think they also required a phone number for signup (which I didn't like).
Today I tried it with Hive and as you can see, here I am, but it took like 40 minutes to register. The providers without mandatory verification didn't work. They were either under maintenance or the website didn't react at all. Then I tried it with a different browser and different IP. That also didn't work. I then considered to pay the fee. But that would cost me $3 in BTC value itself + transaction fee + a surcharge of $2. So about $7-8 in total. (That was when I was already 35 minutes into the process) So I ended up using a provider without a fee but which required a phone number.
The whole process was really a pain in the ass and took away a good chunk of my time.
And I also find it rather complicated to understand which dApps to use for what now and that every dApp has a different way to log-in.
Anyway, enough of that, that was just a little feedback of my first expierence. And maybe these things will get easier in the future. I'm happy to be here now and to explore the world of decentralised social networks and other apps.
Welcome to Hive!
I hope you find success and fun here.
In my opinion, PeakD.com is the best interface to use Hive.
It takes having a little bit of HP powered up to do anything, you run out of resource credits pretty quick and then end up in a stand still waiting for things to recharge. To assist in that I have delegated a small amount of HP to you to help get started. No strings attached, no votes needed or anything, it is just to help you get going. It will last until some time in Jan 2021 so a couple of months. I'll be adding you to my delegated to list and will try to pop over and check your page on occasion.
The delegation will be coming from my alt account @shadowmask.
Hive works a little different than most crypto coins, and certainly a lot different than a lot of social media networks. It takes awhile to get used to it, and can be very fun once you get past the learning curve.
Nice work mate, I just doubled it up.

Willkommen,
Ein Tipp, wenn du was auf Deutsch schreibst, nutze den #deutsch. Wir sind auf dieser Plattform eine der Gruppen mit dem größten Einfluss.
Und wenn du etwas einfach nutzen willst, Google Mal nach der Hive-Keychain, die es für Chrome und Firefox gibt. Hier musst du nur deine Keys einfügen, die Frontends schicken die Informationen an die Keychain und diese schickt sie signiert an die Blockchain. Ist inzwischen eine Art Standart geworden, da sie sicher und zuverlässig ist.
Bei der Telefonnummer ist es so, dass diese nicht gespeichert wird. Es wird nur der Hash dieser Telefonnummer gespeichert, um Spam zu verhindern. Bevor das nötig war, haben einige Leute dutzende Accounts erstellt und so die Kapazitäten der Betreiber angegriffen.
You’re welcome 😐
Welcome to hive.
I have decided to support the initiative that @bashadow has begun to help new accounts gain some resource credits through delegation. It will help you engage (comment) on the blockchain which is critical for users looking to build their accounts. Having good relationships is important and will help put you on the radar. Follow up that engagement and relationship building with some good quality posting showing passion, personality and effort and you'll be on your way.
I have doubled up the 25HP delegation @bashadow has given you.
All the best with your hive journey.
