On the third and fourth of September, I was in Dortmund for the Conf3rence event at Signal Iduna Park – the famous football stadium of Borussia Dortmund. It was two full days packed with energy, interesting people, and so many great conversations. Even now, my voice is still a little hoarse – I really should drink more water while talking so much!
What made me especially happy was that some people were very excited when they heard about HIVE. Together with @rivalzzz, @solarwarrior, @detlev and me, we helped many users get started right away. We showed them how to download the Hive Keychain app by @stoodkev and guided them step by step through the process of creating their first account.
Since I had collected quite a few account creation tickets over the past years, I used the Create a Wallet with a Friend feature to help them get started quickly. I made sure to explain everything clearly and asked them several times to double check that they had saved their keys in a safe and secure place. As many of you know, Keychain does not automatically store the owner key or password during account creation, so this step is very important.
In total, we onboarded 16 new users, and some of them already took a look around Hive and even made their first posts. That was really cool to see!
For my part, I will now add all 16 users to my personal onboarded user list on PeakD. This way, I can follow their activity more easily, support their content if they stay active, and maybe even help them grow their Hive journey further.
It was great to bring more people into the Hive ecosystem in such a real and personal way – and it showed again how important face to face onboarding still is, even in a digital world.
WELCOME TO HIVE
