Q and A
Q: I'm invited?
A: Yes, you, you, as a Hive user, are invited to join the Hive General community chat.
Q: What is it?
A: Hive General is a general chat space to discuss Hive, or cryptocurrency, or whatever you wish. It is...general.
Q: Where is it?
A: It's on "Sting" which is Hive-centric...built by Hivers and run by Hivers.
Q: Why is it here?
A: Hive has a general chat on most major web2 platforms (Discord, Telegram, Reddit, etc.), we should have one that's "on Hive."
Q: Is it really "on Hive?"
A: It's not on the Hive base layer. It's distributed on servers in various places by those who have spun up nodes (PeakD, dlux.io, Actifit.io, HiveHub.dev). It runs on PeakD's Sting chat app, which is one of their "Peak Open Projects"...built by Hivers, run by Hivers. Sting uses your Hive login and keys through Hive Keychain, and it is already built into many Hive dapps.
Q: Why is it a Hive community?
A: Because that's how Sting sets up chat channels. If you are in any Hive communities, they automatically have Sting chat channels already. Currently, the main and sole purpose of the Hive General community is to provide a general chat space for Hive users via the Sting dapp.
Q: Why would I join the chat?
A: Ideas off the top of my head: You might learn something, or get a chuckle, or help someone else. You might make a new "Hive friend" which could be beneficial on chain. You can chat privately with others using Sting, if you wish. The usernames you see are the actual usernames on Hive, so, it's easier to tell who's who. You'd be migrating away from centralization like Discord or Telegram and toward decentralization. Community is the heart of Hive and this is a very direct way to connect.
Q: Can I join without actually chatting?
A: Of course. Just reading along is great.
Q: Why is the Hive logo sideways and green?
A: Since it is "general," I thought of an Army general and military stripes. I wanted chevrons. Rotating the Hive logo to the right and completing the middle stripe gave me my chevron stripes. As to the color, it's actually the html color "Army Green", 4B5320. The first logo actually had the Hive logo on top of the chevrons, which wound up looking somewhat like a flower blooming! (That "flower logo" is being used for the account.)
Q: How can I join?
A: Follow these steps:
- Subscribe to the Hive General community.
- Go to https://chat.peakd.com/t/hive-116655/0
- Login via Hive Keychain, click "Hive General", then "General".
You are cordially invited. Hope to see you there.
