Hello Hivers,
I just signed up for hive and doing my first post. Sorry this isn't a warm and fuzzy post but just want to share my frustration of signing up to hive for the first time. Note that I fully understand blockchain private and public keys and such. I signed up through https://ecency.com/
Too many keys and passwords. Hive has four private/public keys AND a password....ridiculous.
WIF should be wtf. Login says to use password or WIF. Which of the 4 keys or password it's not explained. What is WIF and how do I know if any of my 5 pw keys are a WIF?
HiveAuth. What is it, how does a new user know if they have it?
Wrong private key. I entered my memo or posting key, but of course that wasn't good enough as I needed my active key. How the hell is a new user supposed to know.
The hive signup process is the WORST experience I've ever had for a website even though I understand blockchain and keys. I really can't imagine new users wanting to go through this process.
