RE: Will the steep learning curve and onramp complexity with Hive blockchain stifle the sale of NFTs at the showroom?

I also see this as an issue, for now. As more people come to Hive, for all that it offers maybe this will change. For now, it might be an option to have different ways of paying for an NFT using a different type of crypto and the transaction being converted to Hive in the background including a new Hive account that they can claim. The feeless transactions could still happen if they pay Hive which would be another incentive for them to get involved with the blockchain. These are just a few of my thoughts.

Interesting thoughts indeed. The whole fee thing was one of the main things that set this apart from NFT's on the Eth blockchain but I also totally agree that it's hard to get people to buy your art, unless they're already on Hive. And yeah, let's be honest, Hive still has a pretty small 'active' user base.
I do think Hive will grow but as an artist, I don't really believe one's work should be restricted to just one audience. I am really still just trying to get my head around what the true value is to artists, I mean apart from the money.

ENGAGEtokens.Good points you mention. In my post today I mention a solution presented by Enjin blockchain - a crosschain layer 2 solution. I wonder if we can implement it to include Hive. Enjin will be a fully NFT friendly, being a gaming-related token.

Sorry for delayed response. Eth fees are crazy and coming from Hive where it is not a worry it really seems unreasonable. All this NFT Hype seems to really be reaching fever pitch with so many options coming out. I worry that when it does collapse that there will be so much art locked into technologies that failed to be sustainable and crashed. Enijin does sound interesting but again it is just one of so many options. To place your NFT on any one chain will lock it there and if it dies, then what.
Maybe cross-chain NFTs are the answer.

Yes I agree that NFT market is packed with options and it's hard to chose where to mint our art. Hive prevails due to the cheaper fees of course, though Eth gas fees may be reducing with the new side chains etc. They will also allow cross-chain operability I presume.
