RE: New Milestone of Power! 17,000 HIVE POWER! Q Level Supreme!

Congrats! I think the only thing holding new users back is the complexity of sign up and the resource credits system. I've heard complaints of people not understanding how to sign up, and that one of the free sign ups (hive onboard I think) was full? Last week I ran out of resource credits from commenting and upvoting good content. I soon discovered I couldn't make a post or comment on other important posts. This made me have to stay off the site for several days to regenerate resource credits so I can use the platform. That is an awful system to me and no new user especially is going to want to go through the complicated process of buying HIVE to power up so they can use "another social media." I understand the anti-spam angle to it, but why couldn't the spammer just buy HIVE to power up first and then do their spamming/earning? IMO there should to be a better way for new users to earn or mint more hive power so they can be more active on the platform.
