Hi Glen, Can you still see this?
I'm majorly confused about what has happened with Hive and such.
Can you point me to info on how to switch and why I should?
Anyone else who happens to read this, it's been a few months since I've been on here and a LOT has gone on.
Where do I start? trying to catch up...
Hey, @wizardave.
I definitely can still see this. I don't check in more than once a day or so, though.
HIVE came to be nearly three months ago. You should be able to find your HIVE account at hive.blog/@wizardave, and your wallet at wallet.hive.blog/@wizardave/transfers
I just checked the wallet and it's definitely there. Hive.blog is more or less a HIVE version of steemit.com. SteemPeak's equivalent is Peakd.com if you want to go that route.
There's really no switching to do other than using HIVE over STEEM or vice versa since both are set up. You'll find more or less the same amount of HIVE, HP and HBD you had at the time of the fork to HIVE (or when the snapshot of the chain took place), plus maybe a bit of 'interest' tossed on top.
As you can see, not everyone left STEEM for HIVE. There are still a few people popping back and forth, too. A lot of the larger community developers went with HIVE, though a few are still around on STEEM, and Splinterlands and STEEM-Engine made the crossover not too long ago.
Things have actually calmed down a little since STEEM's last hardfork that took away around 23 million STEEM from 68 or so accounts that the current witnesses deemed as threats to the platform. That amount was redirected at the last second by someone who sent it to the main Bittrex wallet to sort out, and as far as I know, they're still sorting, meaning, they haven't announced publicly what they're going to do with it.
You might want to do a couple of things, now that I'm thinking about it: Passwords and recovery accounts for both STEEM and HIVE. Steempeak and Peakd were the easiest to change those things.
I'm in the last several minutes of my last power down. That will probably leave around five SP in my account. After that, I'm probably not going to do a whole lot of checking around on STEEM, so it will be easier to locate me on HIVE.
Blocktrades no longer offers a straight STEEM to HIVE pair. I'm not sure if any exist now or not. You will probably need to convert STEEM to BTC and then to HIVE if that's what you choose to do. That's how I've been doing it, but watch out for big fluctuations in price of fees. It's been a little crazy in that regard since their last halving last month.
