Yes, I saw that when I thought about trying to onboard my Web2 visitors. I haven't given up on that yet. But I do keep getting sidetracked.
One approach that I thought of was "account leasing". Whereby I create some accounts. Then if someone wants one, I give them a Hive Keychain password. And if they forget it, I can send a new one. Obviously, there's an issue of trust here. But I can't see how that's any different to the way people are used to on Web2.
They have the option to change their Hive keys whenever they want. And I would make it clear from the start that they always have that option. But once they use it the training wheels are off and they are on their own.
My thinking about that is based on the idea of starting the relationship on Web2 and easing towards an active Hive account. But I believe that Inleo is making their light account scheme available. So I will look at that first.
In fact, I'm going to make it my mission to get this moving or abandoned by the end of August.
Then, of course, the USP for Hive becomes easier - it's the place where online communities thrive.
