Resources for using the HIVE blockchain

If you are an absolute beginner then I recommend reading over the following guide so that you can gain some general understanding about the Hive blockchain:
https://peakd.com/hive/@remotehorst23/hive-beginner-tutorial

If you want a good news feed for the Hive blockchain then I highly suggest subscribing to the Chain News Badge here:
https://peakd.com/b/badge-321321

If you need a history lesson on why there is a Hive blockchain then the following article provides a good summation of events:

If you already have a Steem blockchain account and just want a quick crash course on how to login into Hive with your Steem credentials then read this:

A simple beginners guide for Hive can be found here:

There is also some really good information about Hive in the following two articles:

I recommend keeping an eye on the Unofficial Hive Beginners FAQ as it gets updated with information. It is still a work in progress but looks promising.
