It feels like the bullmarket could kick off at any given moment at we are all about to become those OG's who people look back at like 'ahhhh yeah they were so early, that is why everything went so well for them'.
Heck I would love that and it would be super cool if Hive would be the big partner in there. I have been on Hive for like 6 years now already and I don't have any intention on leaving. I play my games here, write out my thoughts, post travel stuff and this is what I like doing when there is some free time.
So when the bullmarket heads into the next phase, it means a lot of new people will enter crypto again. And that is where Hive has some issues going on every now and then. It needs to be accessable and working and I am not even talking about the onboarding process.
Here is just stuff I ran into in 1 day while I was doing my normal stuff.
Hive-Engine
I totally understand that Hive-engine has thrown out some chains like WAX and EOS, because you really just can't work them all. But today it isn't even possible to withdraw swap-hive to your wallet because swap hive doesn't pop up in the list.
Sure it is some sort of bug and it is just being worked on and this will be different tomorrow most likely again. But as a crypto freshman, you just want your stuff to work to make sure you aren't getting ripped off or making epic fails, and not have to worry if you are doing something wrong.
Inleo
Ahhh I love Leo also am a fan of posting a thread every now and then because that is always what Hive needs instead of only making long posts. A snippidisnap of a post and I was just about to do this to ask around about the Hive-engine problem (because threads are perfect for getting an easy answer to something) when this was the page that I had. Logging in on to a laptop was no issues, but on a phone with Hive keychain this is where I ended up.
Also...does it feels that Leo is always super slow on the page on the phone or again, is this just me
Liketu
Giphy
Normally I am even a more big Liketu user, especially while I am travelling. This one is perfect for getting up some snaps Instagram style and honestly, I really find the app fun to use. So I use it frequently.
But in my last 2 attempts to post something over my phone (again with hive keychain) I wrote the whole post but uploading and posting never went through which also resulted in the text to disappear... Sigh
The second attempt on writing and posting is never the quality of the first one which sucks..Because Liketu is awesome!
So in a week of time...
... I have ran into a couple of issues in just some regular posting stuff in all kinds of corners. Now I have been here a while so I will always cut Hive some slack because Hive has also seriously brought me a lot.
But with these kinds of issues, this will make the newbies scare off, because they don't know when something is broken compared to it-has-never-worked- and-I-dont-know-how-it-should-work.
I remember my newbie days with my first transaction through blocktrades. Man I was crapping myself to see if my $0.08 transaction went through. And how exciting it was to see that it had worked and I had made money with blogging.
I hope we get and are ready for the massive influx, because I really do believe in the influx with some much going on with crypto at the moment.
So no rant here, just hoping we do better.
