You are a treasure!

This is a pretty solid onboarding guide!

Just days after deciding to enter the Hive portal, I haven't been keeping track of the various trails I have been following. Which has led to my discovery of this post.

Sure glad I stumbled upon it. Sure looks interesting! I will join this community and look into writing more about this. I have experience with crypto, so that would not be too difficult.

Until then, lots of links to follow and explore this corner of the Hive blockchain!

Hmmm. Didn't get very far!?

Not sure what this issue is ...

that account, your "hive account" is not validated with satoshis.

You must go through validation, easiest way is to make a new hive account this way:

Okay, @ecoinstant. Thank you kindly for pointing this out!

I would be reluctant to start over creating a new account. I'll look into this more and see if there is a step-by-step process for setting up access via this account.

Who knows, if successful, maybe I will even write about it!

He can as well use the Add btc profile tab for existing hive account

I have successfully set up a new wallet in XVerse, transferred 10K Sats into it (2X the minimum?) and successfully linked this address to my Hive account:

In spite of that, I still get the exact same error message above. What exactly does "User data could not be fetched" mean then? What else is needed?

@starkerz, @thecrazygm, @ecoinstant: Any help would be much appreciated! I am very interested in participating in this community.

P.S. Yes, from my reading of content on the newbies-guide account, I do understand that tagging other accounts is frowned upon. Hopefully, this will be considered a reasonable exception. If not, please advise on a better solution. Thanks!

"mass tagging" can be a redflag, but hey help me with this specific thing, is probably okay. The real issue is that I don't always see the pings, as they get mixed in with the votes sometimes.

This is all very new - so its possible that there is something to be fixed. But my first overview is that - "the possibility to list already existing HIVE accounts is not currently implemented, and that's why it works right now with a new HIVE account".

The goal with this tech stack is to onboard bitcoinners. It seems like you are onboarding at the similar time, have a very new HIVE account. I have 100 hive accounts now, and so maybe next week or next year you wouldn't mind an alt, but I can definitely appreciate how "I am not ready for another account yet".

Please keep participating tho - generally, just by doing, you learn. And by learning, you can earn!

Thank you for this input, @ecoinstant. Looking through it again, I can see you are almost certainly right. And, yes, you did tell me that in the first place - create a new account!

My time constraints make that a very unattractive option. I could say more, but I won't belabor the point.

As stated above, I do now have a wallet with 10,000 Sats in it, set up for the express purpose of joining this community. FWIW, I have considerably more than that to put in there, if there is ever a future option of joining it with my existing account.

For now, maybe I will write a post about my experience in attempting to set this up. In it, I can show why I went the direction I did. If nothing else, perhaps it will provide the devs behind this community with some useful input for their consideration, in making improvements.

I am almost certain we will work that angle after we get the "onboarding" worked out, its just a reality of the internet, everyone is hot for "new" users right now.

oh and - yes! always "write a post" about it!

Yes, it took me some time, @ecoinstant, but I have now done exactly that - my "Problem or Opportunity? MVP and Joining the One BTC Club" post has now been published.

I have replied separately to @breakaway-dev's comment, as it reinforced for me why I took the time to even attempt to set up an existing account here, in the first place. My post details why that does not work. At least it did not for me.

If there is anything else I can do on my side, to help anyone working on solving this current challenge, please let me know.

Hi, there is a tab on the navbar that says Add btc profile , maybe that is not clear enough, we will update the text to say link exixting hive account. So there you can link your existing hive account, please try that and lt me know your experience. Thanks

It was interesting to find the timing on your comment, @breakaway-dev. Finishing up my post on exactly this yesterday, in response to this comment from @ecoinstant, it has now been published.

If you will glance through it, I had precisely this thought on trying to overcome my initial problem with attempting to join the One BTC Club community. It does not work.

At least it did not work for me. I would appreciate any help you are able to provide me. If I can do anything else on my side, please let me know.

Ah very cool let's keep stacking sats bro

Hive Power Up Day - March 1st 2025

The truth is very impressive, it is a genius, and I am happy that more and more people know about this, which is the future already in Hive.

I got to look into this more. Tried with my old account when it came out but it didn't work. May try making a new account when I get settled in my new place. Have one in mind. This would be good for my ZBD game sats.
