About
In an effort to help new people to HIVE we’ve compiled a list of useful links here. They should provide a good resource to find everything you need to succeed on the HIVE blockchain. One of the great things that drew me here was that there are no gas fees like other chains.
Creating a HIVE Account
- You can get a free HIVE keychain wallet here: https://hiveonboard.com?ref=hivedrip
- There’s a great link for different options to sign up for a HIVE wallet: https://signup.hive.io/
- Splinterlands.com – Buy a spellbook and you will have a HIVE account. This is needed to play the game anyways so is another option.
- The easiest was is with the Hive Keychain addon but this requires having an account already.
- Another site that may work for you is https://inji.com/
Getting HIVE
- A good site for converting Eth, BTC , etc. into Hive is https://simpleswap.io/
- https://www.binance.com or https://www.us.binance.us are easiest if you have access.
- You can also deposit ETH, LTC, BTC, BNB and more at Tribaldex. You will receive the hive equivalent for your coin that you can then sell on the market for swap.hive. This would skip the next step of buying HIVE directly then exchanging for swap.hive.
Converting to Hive/Swap.Hive
- USWAP – https://swaphive.github.io/swap/ or uswap.app (cheapest hive/swap.hive bridge)
- Tribaldex – https://tribaldex.com/wallet/ (use withdraw or deposit to get hive/swap.hive)
- Beeswap (easiest for converting most any token to swap.hive, 2nd cheapest bridge)
Hive Games
Serfdom & Sorcery, “S&S” from makers of Psyber-X
Wiki can be found here to help get started: https://serfdom-sorcery.fandom.com/wiki/Serfdom_%26_Sorcery_Wiki
- This is the only HIVE-based DISCORD game I know of. It’s an old-school rpg game where you can level up by killing monsters, you can own land and a castle. You can steal from your neighbor and have a farm. Very addicting so far.
