the service was pretty strait forward even before the site upgrade. Unfortunately i don't have a lot of use case for lightning at the moment, but it would be fun using it to pay for stuff even just for saying you can :) (if only someone could give me a card for my country :) )
so i kinda use it for fun to send few sats to podcaster, or send a boost from time to time to podcasting 2.0 podcast so i could make them talk about Hive :)
For Hive part, having notifications for those v4v transactions would help to spread some awareness. when i asked about it @asgarth said he will look into it for the new notification system they are building.
For other use cases i am not in the podcasting world and i am not sure how it all works and how the 2.0 works so it maybe makes no sense. Would be interesting if some of the (terminology i will use is probably off : ) podcasting hosting companies implemented Hive accounts and gave an option for all of their users to connect podcasts to Hive and be able to receive v4v sats without running a lightning node. Something like 3speak is doing now. (does that even make sense?)
Great comments, thank you.
