RE: The three minute Hive Onboarding Solution we need

in #hive12 days ago

The main thing that I'm encountering is the keys. People are confused by them. I'm doing quite a few steps now to create an account and make it work, so yes, having it all in one dapp would be a lot better. I didn't quite understand the code, and maybe I missed the point, but for onboarding, I imagine it like this:

New user downloads keychain and creates an account. Through keychain, they can now create a HIVE account by either scanning a QR code from the patron or typing in their username. The account is created, and the keys automatically loaded into keychain. Also automatically, the patron gets a request to delegate 10B RC (or a similar amount) to the new account, to allow them to start.

Done. Account created with web2 easiness, but still with a barrier against bots, as the patron must sign off. I don't have to explain neither keys nor RC nor HP nor anything. They might learn it eventually, hopefully. And of course, I'll encourage them to learn :-D

Sort:  

The code is more for the nerds, but, the idea is probably best expressed differently. Maybe its best I paint a possible scenario.

You go into your app store, google or apple, and you see Snapie - Chat with people around the world, make friends, earn crypto. You download this app. You know nothing.

You see: Login with Google.

You walked through the door.

Right now... people would download the app, see: Enter POsting key only. Their face like those confused puppies. sideways look

Ideally the best onboarding happens one to one, but its not as fast. It scales if you make more of you, more onboarders, but no onboarder on his/her own hasd the reach of an app store.

That's true, but it brings more opportunity to bots creating accounts to spam and drain the pool, as you just saw in the screenshot you sent me on WA. That is a real problem that has to be addressed and at least hindered. Wherever there is "free" money, the scammer come.
