RE: Hive Punks Market Improvements

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Really cool project, have some suggestions:

  1. Make the site accessible for non-Hive users (not logged in to keychain) so that also other crypto users (possibly from other blockchains) can view the punks, collections and market history

  2. Provide a separate page for every Punk including its stats and blockchain history (sells, transfers, etc.)

  3. Provide the market history in its entirety, not only the last 24 hours

  4. Open-source the front-end to make the Punks more decentralized

  5. Allow non-Hive users to buy punks, possibly with other cryptos as well

  1. You can already, but need to know username to view their gallery. The market is also open regardless of logged in
  2. There is a separate page https://punks.usehive.com/punk/1 but it doesn't have history yet
  3. Being worked on, the 24 hours is a limitation of Hive Engine as that is all they store, so I need to make my own
  4. Not likely to happen, it can't really be more decentralized, I do not own any of the Punks and I have zero control, they are in everyone's wallet. At least as decentralized as you can be on Hive Engine.
  5. Not likely to happen, I don't own the Punks. So I cannot control what they are sold for. This is a way to "make it happen" by acting as custodian but would be really tricky and I doubt many would end up using it.

@vikisecrets has a point on his point 1, when I tried introducing punks to a friend he initially didn't know how to use it, so I wrote a tutorial

People that are not used to using Hive Keychain and Hive Engine don't understand well how to buy a punk. They don't intuitively get that they need to install the browser extension, log in, and have SWAP.HIVE (instead of HIVE)

But about the open-source thing, I think it would be useful because people would learn how to use Hive Engine. I tried copying your website to add the functionality I wanted but my version sucks because I am not yet good with working with Hive Engine (and I suck ad making design).

I congratulate you on the Punks on Hive because they are truly as decentralized as it can get, but having it open source would allow people to copy and make it better, of course, others could build from scratch, but having a starting point is helpful.

100% agree, Hive is complex and difficult to understand initially. As such, there was no way I could possibly solve this on the landing page. So like most chains (that have similar learning curves), I chose not to.

Hive is complex, as are most blockchains, and as such having open source stuff is important. Maybe you could not solve, but maybe someone else could if it was open.
