RE: Vienna Hive Meetup: Onboarding (creating new Hive accounts) is still an issue and here is why.

I noticed this too. I onboarded someone about two months ago, @johnmacmahon. There were other free options. I sent him to signup.hive.io. As well as the time of your post, at the time Hiveonboard wasn't working. Perhaps it is inherent in the architecture of a Steem-like blockchain to have these kinds of problems. LBRY already has way more users.
