Trying Torum as a Hive User
Hi everyone,

After seeing a fair amount of Hype around Torum on twitter, I decided to try it out. It looks like an interesting platform but there were certainly some quirks to get used to.

I did have some trouble getting signed up as they had some odd requirements.

Firstly, I verified my email which worked completely fine, although the email came from a @gmail.com address, which didn't come across as overly professional to me, but I mean no complaints other than that, that part worked fine.

The part that gave me the hassle was the phone verification. To gain full access to the platform, you had to verify your phone with WhatsApp, no Text/Call option available. Now I ditched WhatsApp a while ago and wasn't going to install that shit just to get access to this website, so I contacted support, where they verified my number without even confirming that I owned it, which again seems bad but if there's no system I guess that's fair.

I have made a couple of posts and got reasonable levels of interaction. It would seem that tipping is the main method of earning as with noise.cash and others, and you have to earn 500 tokens before you're allowed to do anything with them.

Personally, for me, I prefer the way hive works in these respects, although a centralized account creation system certainly has its merits.

It also seems to be running on eth/bsc/huobi smart chain, which is only the token, so there is none of the censorship-resistance of actual blockchain based social media.

The content felt more like what you'd expect of twitter.

TL;DR: Not for me, but maybe you'll like it?

If they can use their buzz to focus on getting consumers for their content they might be successful. 
To me hives biggest deficit is that the buzz got wasted on attracting people to "get rich blogging". 
It's not that im not bullish on hive, i am. 
I just believe hive needs to focus more on funding for second layer projects like other defi platforms do. 
Continuing to focus on social as more players with better funding  enter the market is a losing strategy.
The one exception i see to this is leo. But as you can see, a significant portion of the leo economy is devoted to defi. I think the success of this strategy is obvious when we compare leo to the broader hive community.

Yeah, a bunch of completely fair points. I agree that people come here for the promise of money and it gives people the wrong starting expectation.

I feel hive is growing in those ways but our marketing efforts probably haven't moved with that.

Thanks for the comment.

Also to be fair, hive has capabilities other chains lack. 
For example, an Oracle service could be built here that would rival any other due to our free txs.
This is just one thing i thought of in ten seconds cuz i think i sound bearish sometimes when I'm really not. 
Anyway, thanks for the post and for replying to me.

Layer 2 all the way

Blogging is a really cool thing to have on layer 1. That kind of communication available all the time is great for the health of the chain and its politics, but blogging isn't a battle I'm interested in fighting. It'd be going after a niche of a niche without much ammo

An easy to build upon layer2 is the way. Engine does lots of biz. Leo has all kinds of tricks. Really looking forward to HAF - and any other layer 2 solutions people come up with
