I found myself wanting to stop and comment so many times on this post but I decided to instead read the entire thing first :)
To your point: We have to make a plug-n-play solution for those members with established communities. We dont need them to understand everything, we just have to make it easy. I am working on putting some things but I did want to add that I think having some people acting as liaison to community members could prove invaluable, especially at first. What they can do with a community token is awesome but if we leave it up to them they are going to get confused.
Having an advertising component would be awesome for this - again, a plug-n-play option for community leaders to further monetize their community and content.
I fully support discussions of reducing powerdown time and/or discussing the options you presenting, interesting topics that HAVE to be figured out!
I found having an idea and just putting it out there helps. If anyone can help they usually will. From now on I'm going to be looking to do more public bounties for features I'd like to see added to Hive. At the end of the day, we have a ton of buidlers and endless ideas, time to get them from paper to reality.
