Thanks for your explanation. I agree that it needs to be avoided that Hivians use this in masses as quick exit to BTC, so this should be marketed rather outside of the Hive ecosystem.
From the 68 members so far, how many used an existing Hive name to register?
If the focus is on Hive newcomers, it is even more hard, they need keychain extension, the xverse wallet plus the wallet of Satoshi (or another Lighning address) - not very userfriendly I am afraid.
By the way, the cloning from Ecency is too obvious :)
https://breakaway.community/ has always been a clone of ecency, that's the whole point of open soruce, to itterate on it and make next itterations available to others to further iterate upon again.
@breakaway-dev is aware of the issues and is building them in. This is not a completed system yet, but its getting there.
Regards to user friendliness, if you can find another system with which to prove you have a bitcoin account and get a hive account with it, id be surprised, honestly - open to hear your suggestions and build them in if they improve on things for sure!. @good-karama is working with us to build out a similar sign up system for all major blockchains (i.e. you sig up once and get accounts for all major chains, but all associated with a hive social account).
I dont know the exact numbers but about 10 or so have attached an existing account, the rest have created new accounts. in all cases you have to sign to prove you have BTC.
No, I am not aware about a similar system.
Where do you market it? Where is the landing page?
https://onebitcoinclub.org/ is a bit laggy and leads to the 0,5 BTC tab with no content, so this URL is not ideal to market it.
BTW, I have 0,5BTC but 1) don´t trust yet the xverse wallet enough to
deposit that much and 2) there is nobody there.
Yes, OBC is super buggy and not finished. Always looking for help from ppl to help get it to the point where it is ready!
We plan to implement another wallet too that can be used for signing transactions. its called https://freewallet.org/
if you have any issues with dev stuff or issues with the site, pls contact @breakaway-dev. Im just the idiot who funds this stuff. I have no idea how to code and wish coders the best of luck getting the things i fund into a place where they can actually be used!
Yet another wallet? Instead of keychain?
u cant hold BTC in keychain. good luck getting a BTC social account without a BTC wallet
This I got, but there are already 2 involved, xverse and wlt of satoshi (or the v4v one), why a third?
one for holding BTC (Xverse) is needed to sign a transaction on the BTC blockchain in order to prove you are a BTC holder. the other is wallet of satoshi, it can only hold lightning and helps with insta payouts for content, but it does not prove you have BTC and it cannot sign a transaction on the BTC blockchain to prove you are a BTC holder. so all of them are completely necessary and valid for this use case. again, if you can find me a lightning wallet that can sign transactions on the BTC blockchain, then we can just use one wallet, but as far as we are aware, there is no such thing yet.
