The point I am making however, it I am a relatively tech savvy person, so I do not mind navigating these processes (apart from the fees that is), but as you mention the average person would find these processes all to cumbersome and overwhelming, so would look for a better alternative.
This has been my experience and represents my thoughts, to a tee.
Thanks for the feedback @trostparadox, I have been thinking about writing a post to put it out there to the community and the new users to see what their experience is like and what they like and what they struggle with.
I mean, i is to be expected as HIVE is a decentralised platform, so the tools that do exist have been created by other users who have seen a need. Once again, it is all about working together to pool our ideas and suggestions, then make them public to the tech gurus out there to create a proposal to the HIVE fund to make it so.
