I wish we could stop telling people that Hive had anything to do with crypto. It's a blogging site. Or a video site. Or a gaming system. Or [Insert DAPP here].
Hive is resistant to censorship and control by single individuals. That's it.

That's a great point man...A complete rebrand and just put it out there....It's a social site, that's censorship resistant....Here's how to sign up, it's easy and fun.
Could be a great angle instead of throwing 'crypto' in their face. Great point!
That's really what they're stressing over at Threespeak. Downplaying the crypto thing, even the monetisation. I'm glad we've moved away from Hive as a get rich quick scheme.
For sure, I have no idea why people got all fussy about their new log in...I thought it was brilliant for the simple fact, normal people understand username / passwords....Start throwing private posting, and private active keys...Well, it's a mess.
They got fussy quite rightly because it was sprung on everyone overnight with no explanation. I had to Skype video with a couple of people I have onboarded to fix them up. I hadn't even logged in at that point and only figured out something had changed while I was screensharing to help someone.
Aside from that roll out issue, the new system is super convenient especially for people who maintain a number of different channels!
LOL Ahhh got it. I saw the post and gave it a try right away.
Worked perfectly for me, but I could see how people would have been caught off guard.
I think long term though, it's great to get more people 'logging in' with something they feel 'comfortable' with.
