A humble question - How to Create a new community?

in HiveDevs5 years ago


I am trying to gather information and recently have learned that
it may be possible to create a Token within a Community,

is this a 'Hive Media Token' type

or

is a Hive-Engine token associated with the Tribe?

Do I create it from within the Community?
Or with the account that owns the Tribe?

I have more questions, but first the elephant in the room.

I explored a little bit, (actually saw it in discord) hive blog

Just log in with your active key. Make sure you save your Hive number and your initial key. Picture steps:

I don't need the community if you want it, I just wanted to know how to make it in hive.blog

Excellent!! Thank you very much I was successful in creating the Community. I really do appreciate your assistance.

Glad you have one now, and were able to get it going.

Great! Congratulations and remember Hive Keychain is your friend. LOL

You can find that link and many more in the PEAK FAQ PROJECT Community. He has a pinned post for future questions, and the TOC pinned also.

If you are not getting the plus then it may be a problem with the api you are on, you can try switchin api's on both peakd, and on hive keychain to see if it shows up.


Which is best to use? What are the others?Thank you @bashadow Can you tell me more about these api options?

It really depends on time of day, day of week, and your provider as to which one is working the best. If you keep getting error messages the easiest way to find the best API is the peakd benchmark, it is kind of slow, takes about a minute and a half sometimes longer for me, but lets you know the api that is best, and the ones having errors.

Like I said it can be slow at times. Also to avoid any conflicts I always make sure that my hive keychain is set to the same as my peakd one. I am at a total loss however when it comes to using the hive.blog site.

That was very helpful thank you!

I switched to anyx.io but the [+] is still not there.

Oh and I just guessed you were using keychain or hivesigner, and not peak-lock, you do need to use one of those sign in methods, as you need your active key to make one, just like @hivepeople said.

Actually, You cannot create a new Hive Community using HiveSigner. I asked the dev, plus i helped someone else with this exact issue.....HiveSigner doesn't work.

Thanks, I was unaware of that fact, so I do appreciate the help there. I know peak-lock will not work, and just guessed Hivesigner would. I myself use hive Keychain, and have had no issues with it.

You must use Hive Keychain in order to create a community. Please tell me what browser, what key login method you're using and if you're using peakd.com. You must use Peakd.com and Hive Keychain AFAIK.

Ive got the community created now, using wallet.hive.blog/@username/communities
Thank you for your help, now for the second question.

Do I create the token using Hive-Engine or is there a way to create a token from within the community?

this question i do not know. maybe ask it in the Hive Discord channel.

you were able to create a community using hive.blog not peakd.com?

the main things to know:
Pro-tips:
It costs 3 $Hive to create a Hive Community.
Use Hive Keychain (it doesn't work with hivesigner).
Community Hive accounts operate similarly to a regular Hive accounts.
Community accounts are assigned numbers when they are created.

For example the Hive Marketing Community account is @hive-154303.

I transferred some Hive to the account I will use to create the community but there is no [+] button, is there an additional link that leads to I could use?

are you already logged into that account that contains the 3 Hive? You must have the 3 Hive in your account, or else the + symbol will not show up.

I have more than 3 in this account and also in the other but I still don't see it. I will try logging in again

  1. Are you using peakd.com?
  2. Are you using Hive Keychain?

If not, it won't work.
I just did a test right now, and I see the + sign. I am using Hive Keychain and Peakd.com.

No i have had trouble with keychain not recognizing accounts in the past, I will get that extention now though

The Hivesigner devs need to implement the ability to make a Hive community. I asked for it already, but was rebuked. I don't think it's user friendly at all if someone is using HiveSigner and wants to create a Hive Community, but cannot.....you are the second person I have helped with this exact issue.
But yeah, for now, you gotta download Hive Keychain to make a Community. I personally love Hive Keychain and have had zero problems with it.

ok This is your problem. You cannot create a Hive Community if you don't use Hive Keychain. It's not possible.

Tried that, got Keychain to work but its still not working. Neither is the HiveSigner chrome plugin

Still no [+] this is ghostly.

Are you using Hive Keychain?

Are you using Hive Keychain?

you can only create a community with Hive Keychain. Are you using Hive Keychain?

as far as the tokens are concerned, I am not familiar yet but good questions. You might try asking in the Hive discord channel too.
