RE: Why do we struggle so much "marketing" HIVE?
(edited)
I think it trips up once we get to the 'keys'. That part is a major learning curve. Not something that should be included in marketing, but is vital to how we operate and the bridge has to be crossed. Easy button?

Why not have a category of "light" accounts for newcomers; allowing them to use Hive on a simplified basis, while the original account creator holds the keys, and the new user only gets the posting key and if they lose it, they can still recover it from the account creator.
Such users can even see their Hive growth (including rewards), but they can't do anything financial until they agree to a "full" account, at which point they get the keys from the account creator, who then shreds them.
It's basically a variation on the widely used "freemium" model.
Additionally, if someone starts a "light" account, uses it for a while and then abandons it... maybe after a year, the keys could be shredded and any unclaimed rewards burned.
This causes a bit of 'centralization' but its not a bad idea. Perhaps people need the 'half-way' between centralized (that the know) and the decentralized (that confuses them). Also I'm afraid this will need also some sort of layer of protection to avoid "password keepers" from abusing their power.
