List 2: Who currently works in the five key areas? (version 0)

This is a list of the people or groups that work in the five critical growth areas. This is my first best guess. Your input is super important—if you work in these areas but don’t see yourself, SPEAK UP!

1. Onboarding new users

OCD does peer to peer onboarding
TheTerminal is a friendly Discord space for new Hivers
HeyHaveYaMet
InLeo has custodial account sign up
Various communities around Hive likely have their own processes

2. Marketing Hive and its dApps

ValuePlan runs events and supports IRL Hive marketing (guiltyparties, crimsonclad)
LordButterfly has coordinated several initiatives (Hive Rally Car, Freechain Documentary, Vibes)
crimsonclad steers our official X account, goes to X spaces, + does a zillion other things
POSH project by OCD/acidyo encourages spreading of Hive content
ura-soul is working on a digital marketing proposal
InLeo has a large user growth initiative and new incentive structures
WOO partners with real celebrity wrestlers to help promote the use of Hive
Splinterlands and sister companies do a lot of indirect Hive marketing
The dbuzz team is working on a lot of partnerships in the Philippines
Lots of independent X efforts like documentinghive, hive_today, etc.

3. Anti-abuse efforts

Hivewatchers is the primary entity that steers anti-abuse
Individuals like themarkymark also have their own approaches and systems
Some of the bigger curators may also look into anti-abuse

4. Getting Hive listed on crypto exchanges

crimsonclad works another full time job networking and lobbying exchanges
Erm, that might be it? This space needs more help for sure!

5. Crafting DHF proposals for any of the above

As far as I know, no one “works” in this space and funding is left up to individual voters (and this is as intended, though some coordination around a vision for the DHF, oversight, analysis, etc. is sorely needed to begin to use it efficiently IMO—see List 1)
dalz does some auto analyses every month
There are various chatrooms scattered about where people can talk about the DHF (openhive.chat is the main recommended space)

If you don't see yourself / your community / your project—speak up!
