RE: Lensy.io - a place for tokenized photographs on Hive

in #lensy4 years ago

I love it but I got one big question.

Why swap.hive and not hive? Huge barrier to entry for people who don't use hive-engine.

Sort:  

It has to be done with programable money. Hive isn't very programable.

So, the only way to unlock a payment is with your keys. So, if you list to buy something there really isn't any way for me to force payment to go through.

With Hive.Engine we can program the transaction to go through and use swap.hive to complete if-then statements. If they agree to sell X at Y price send this money. Since i can't access your Hive I can't gaurentee the transaction goes through and thus it isn't trustless.

part looking for work and money, part just living the dream of being a crypto entrepreneur

Sharks make moves and the rest make them money.

The thing is it doesn't necessarily make him money if less people buy because they don't want to bother with hive-engine.

Well that's the thing on Hive.
It's not really a unified platform.
Everyone is working on their little community thing and the whole 'circle jerking' method of rewards is the default.

Which is why I critique it as a Cultish money game with no vision or method for mass onboarding.
