Hmm I don't know much about the inner workings of Hive yet. But I think it would be great if un-delegating of HP could be immediate instead of having to wait for a few days. I mean, why does it need a few days to effect? Haha.

For curation reasons. One can curate with account A, undelegate and then curate with account B. Then delegate to account C and vote with that account and so on. The 5-days undelegation cooldown is to prevent that.

Ah I see, makes sense! Thanks for enlightening me!

I believe @gadrian gave you the answer ;-)

Yup, always something new to learn on Hive each day!

Thanks!

It would be nice if there was a way to automate certain mundane functions (like automatically staking, delegating, or trading of tokens). It would also be nice if this would apply to Hive Engine, as well. For example, it would be great if it would check to see if there are HIVE tokens in my account and if there are stake 50% of them and swap 50% to HBD (or even SWAP.HIVE).

This would definitely help reduce the workload related to these repetitive tasks :-)

I'm sure I am not the first to say that I would like better control of where things are displayed on the screen inside of posts. I would also like the posts to show up wider on the screen.

That would be a nice feature to be able to arrange the screen according to our wishes.

i havent payed attention to the tech side in so long i wouldnt know.

i think having more witnesses with beefy machines could be a benefit

There are actually quite a lot of witnesses out there but only a few selected get the majority of the rewards. It wouldn't be bad if this was spread a bit more :-)

Sometimes some lag that happens I think they make it difficult.

Another thing that would be interesting to have is a "glossary" for beginners, the difficulty for those who are starting in the hive is great and unfortunately this ends up being a barrier to the entry of new people.

being a barrier to the entry of new people

Hive is definitely complicated and there isn't a place where to find the information. That is a big deficit in my opinion.

Lo que deberían de mejorar de hive es sobre los juegos deberían sacar más a menudo los juegos y más apoyo a los que juegan los nft y más post de juegos
Y también más instrucciones sobre las insignias como ganarla y también como ganar votos con bastante HP (también deberíamos crear una comunidad cuánto dinero hacen en video juegos nft o online también cuánto hacen en sus trabajos reales)
También deberían incorporar minería en la nube

Thanks a lot for your interesting ideas :-)

Perhaps some templates on how to post, to help newbies, a more elaborate layout with more explanations so that everyone can better understand what each item, each token and term means.

At first it would be that, but later it could also be stability, there are times when everything gets a little stuck or slow.

more explanations so that everyone can better understand what each item, each token and term means

I think Hive lacks a way to educate new people as of how the blockchain works. It would be great if there was a game created around that :-)

Hahaha I thought this mission was going to be easy, but it took me a while to think.

I think that improving beginners' learning is a good way, there should be a more complete initial guide, since most of the questions are answered only with the help and goodwill of more experienced users from their tribes.

That's a great suggestion and I agree entirely with you... I know that learning HIVE can be boring as there is a lot to grasp, but maybe there is a way to make it more fun... 😉

IMO, I don't think whales care much about the little accounts. !LOL please don't quote me on that... 😜 well, what I wish is a buffer against power tripping of larger accounts vs smaller accounts. I have personally seen a downvote wraith who hides under a farm account with a large delegation. 🙄

Yeah, downvotes suck as most of the time they hurt a "small guy"... Maybe recent events of "hurt whales" will attract more attention to the problem... And I should quote your first sentence... lol... They don't care too much, for sure... But, we should care about ourselves... grow our accounts, and support each other... It makes a difference...

Better interfaces would be nice - not really a problem with the blockchain itself per se, but if broadcasting to a node fails there could be better handling. It also lacks packages for some major programming languages, at least last time I looked.

if broadcasting to a node fails there could be better handling.

An automatic node switch should be implemented in some way... It is annoying when you have to do it manually, and if you are a newbie, it is a lot harder to understand why and how...

A better and easy way to buy / sell hive or HBD for small players.

Information:
Guides to transfer hive/HBD from and to exchanges.
Updated list of exchanges that support Hive/HBD buy and sell transactions.

There aren't many places where HBD can be traded directly I believe. But it would definitely be a good thing to have a kind of list to know where you can trade Hive and HBD.

Oh boy, where to begin!
At the beginning, make it far simpler to actually sign up and get an account.
It is too complicated, if something is not smooth and fast now, most people will give up.

Sign up process is definitely not userfriendly enough. I like how wax is doing it. You just sign up with google,facebook or e-mail and nobody bothers you with any type of keys lol.

That payments can be automated in a simple way. That would open up the possibility of subscription services.

I think that you can actually make recurrent payments now in Hive or HBD.

I know I'm kinda late to the party, but being really blunt: the thing I would improve on Hive is making it stop looking like an early-2000's geosites.

I love Hive, but the whole ecosystem looks like it stopped back in the Neopets and Yahoo Answers days.

3 credits added for the liotes ranking

stability maybe? sometime I feel things are buggy, peakd not responding, HE doing things weirdly...

When looking back in time. In the past the stability was much worse. Sometimes the chain was down for several days. So when I look at the situation today, I feel its pretty good but of course it can always be improved :-)

Hive really needs a focal point. Like a centerpiece or homepage where people can always have a place to start and get information/help from the community. Something big that says "Start Here" so people can learn the ropes and have a jumping off point from which to explore, but that they can always come back to and ask questions. Almost like a Discord channel with mods, FAQs, and easy to understand basics of what Hive is and how it works.

I agree with you. We have plenty of different front-ends but a new user simply doesn't understand how everything is related. I believe there should be a gamified onbording process where people are learning the ropes before they get an account.

I think the DAO is too big and should be massively scaled back to something more sustainable. 🙂

200'000 HBD distributed every day by the DHO is a lot of money indeed...

yes that is crazy high

That the rewards were immediate. We are not in a world where people are willing to wait 7 days.

Haha, that would be nice but then I think we would have to rewrite the whole code of the blockchain :-)

The speed needs to be increased. Some of my replies don't get through if I move on to the next conversation too quickly. :(

It's true that sometimes it takes a lot of time for comments to get through and the platform should switch nodes automatically in such cases.

3 credits added for the liotes ranking

I'm a bit late, I've been away all week in some off-line activities. Actually, I don't even know what I would change. Mainly because I don't use other blockchains anymore so I can't even compare.
But I would like to have a service, whatever it is called, where I could directly change Hive into fiat and vice versa. Like a kind of swap.

It can be quite bothersome to try to swap hive to fiat. The other way around seems to be easier. For me it's Swap.hive to swap.ltc to a big exchange where I can withdraw in fiat :-). A simpler version would definitely be useful.

Nodes stability is an issue and very important to improve. Sometimes it can be a little frustrated when reds keep showing up on the notification and when times when tokens are jammed, even more frustration comes.

I agree and automatic node switch tool should be incorporated in all front-ends I believe.

3 credits added for the liotes ranking

How about adding a plagiarism check bot in front-ends that can show us the percentage of plagiarized content, good for curation and posting original content.

That would be an interesting idea. It would indeed be nice to check that before we give an upvote to a post.

Thank you so much.

Hey, guys!
I'm not quite sure what's in the power of Hive's witnesses and what they can really do. But it seems that many people don't know that either.

How about they explain the gist of their work, or publish it in their posts in human language without code? lol

!LOLZ

!PIZZA
!invest_vote

The main task of witnesses is to actually run the blockchain. So they have to keep the machines up and running and they also have to keep the Hive price up to date and adapt some metrics of the blockchain. Otherwise it's not that much work I believe :-)

What would you improve on Hive?

I think it will be the promotion. When non-crypto people start to talk about crypto, they will talk about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DOGEcoin. After some trading talk, Goes to crypto game talk and some people know Ethereum, WAX, and KLAYxMBX (because of Ni no Kuni) or KLAYxWEMIX (because of Mir4).

I don't know why, but I think HIVE will be found after a few times Googling somehow 🤔. I seldom see people talking about "social media in crypto" because that's fitting the category of HIVE tokens.

!PIZZA

Hive definitely flies under the radar. Even when crypto people list social media and blockchain they tend to forget hive...

So sad... 😢

If I had a magic wand and could change one thing, it would be related to the approximately 3% APR that is handed out to all accounts with Hive Power. I have noticed there are accounts which have not been active in over 3 years with no activity whatsoever. But these accounts are still getting the 3% APR. I would change it so that this pot of funds is only awarded to active accounts with activity in the last year or two or three....Not to accounts that have no interest in the Hive Platform. Most of these accounts are from the original fork. Then these funds that are no longer awarded to the inactive accounts increase the APR that is awarded to active accounts.

Just a thought to award those that are still with Hive and actively participating.

!PIZZA

People get 3% APR just for staking Hive and not doing anything. However they also get 20% APR for simply holding HBD in the savings account. I believe sometimes that people who are active should get a bigger part of the pie.

I think they should improve the stability of the nodes, in the not too distant future they will see more users and I can't imagine what would happen if the platform collapses.

!WINE

It is true that sometimes there are problems with nodes... It wouldn't harm to have more stable nodes...

It would be great to have a really simple method to come aboard Hive where one can create an account and start doing things without the need to go searching on how to do this or that etcetera. The current sign up process can be overwhelming to newbies.

It's interesting that the same problem is still present after so many years of talking about it... We should begin a broader discussion about it again...

Indeed. I think LeoFinance is working on the sign up options via Twitter and Email but have not tried how it is.

Thank you lots :)

I'd make sure the network of highly used nodes is better spread throughout the world.

That's a good point. It seems that the number of nodes is quite limited and they are not really that well spread. This means that in some continents it might take longer to interact with the chain I believe.

3 credits added for the liotes ranking

Perhaps the speed of the nodes? I feel a noticeable "lag" whenever transacting anything on HIVE. It feels like it's a limitation by the blockchain. I don't know how HIVE will be able to handle it if it ever onboards 100x the number of users.

I don't know exactly what is the reason for this lag. It's maybe related to the 3 second block time but I agree, the faster the better :-)

3 credits added for the liotes ranking

I think I agree with the stability of the nodes. Whenever one of the biggest witnesses has issues, I tend to see issues and we have to switch to a different node. I don't think there is much we can do about that because we want Hive to be decentralized but I think there should be a way for it to automatically switch over instead of manually changing it.

a way for it to automatically switch over instead of manually changing it.

That would actually be quite great to have an automatic node switch in all front-ends. I believe Peakd has something like that but I don't know if it is fully automated.
