We need some videos for YouTube explaining the basics of hive-js. I would recommend the following, ~15-30 seconds each:

What is Hive and why would I want it?

Hive is a human-friendly digital currency wallet for Bitcoin, Litecoin and other crypto-tokens. If you don't know what those are, click this on-screen link for more information.

Hive helps you get your wallet setup in less than 30 seconds. It also features a high level of security: even if we get hacked, your coins are safe. (Just remember to write down your pass phrase!)

How can I setup Hive for the first time?

When you first start Hive, you will be asked to either provide a passphrase or generate a new one. Since we're just getting started, click Generate. You will then see a pass phrase displayed. It's very important to write this down on a couple pieces of paper and double-check to make sure you got it right. This is effectively the "key" to your tokens. If we ever go away or if you switch to another device, you can enter this pass phrase into another wallet and viola, everything will be there.

The next step is to create a PIN. What, you don't want to enter that pass phrase every time, do you? :-) This is the one you're going to want to memorize, because you'll need it every time you open Hive.

OK, now that we have that setup, we're ready to receive Bitcoin or some other crypto-token!

How can I get some Bitcoin to use with Hive?

If someone standing near you has Bitcoin and wants to give you some, it's easy. If she's running Hive too, just turn on Waggle and she'll find you. Tap the name, send, done.

Demonstrate this

If that person near you doesn't have Hive, press the QR Code button. Have them take a picture of it, and send to your address that way. It's easy.

Demonstrate this

But what if you don't have any? Well, now it's a bit trickier. Load localbitcoins.com into your browser [or the app when that is available] and look for sellers near you. They will accept cash or bank transfers for Bitcoin, and this can often be done on the same day.

Other options are Coinbase.com and Circle.com. If you want to find other options in your area, Google "Bitcoin in MyCity". Bitcoin is truly global, so you're sure to find a local service that can help you out!

What is Hive Waggle and how can I use it?

Waggle is an easy new way to send and receive crypto-currency locally without using QR Codes or copying and pasting addresses (which are quite long and strange). It's easy. Just fire up Hive on two devices, clicking "Enable Waggle" on the receive menu of one, and the Waggle icon on the send menu of the other.

Viola. You should see each other almost immediately. Tap the name, type in the amount you want to send, and you're done.

@haustraliaer @mattatgit @jenbennings

Gentlemen, is there any chance we could get to these soon?

mattatgit commented 10 years ago

@w-hive sure, i could start doing some of these. i don't have any fancy mics so audio quality might be a bit basic, but can give it a test & see how it goes.

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hive now has a YouTube channel:

@mattatgit Feel free to close this and open more specific tickets somewhere else (maybe in /discussions or /hivewallet.com ?) for the videos you want to make.

weilu commented 10 years ago

There's a video so I consider this done. @mattatgit if you'd like to use an issue to track status for more videos, as @w-hive suggested, please open a ticket in hivewallet/discussions.
