As I understand it, the Inleo project has created a sort of "light" account, through their front end interface... you can actually "sign up with twitter/Google" which is a huge step for Hive. But I think it's limited to Inleo created accounts.

A long time ago, I made an elaborate suggestion/proposal for "light" accounts, as well... sign up with existing social media accounts, create your own password... which would allow you to do everything EXCEPT financial transactions. So someone could get started into Hive... but the moment they actually wanted to touch their HP, they'd have to create a "full" account, and assume custody of their keys. Resource credits and 20 HP delegations would come from some dedicated "core" account whose only function was account creation, initial HP/RC delegations. The delegations would automatically be triggered to end when the light account either became a full account, OR the account reached 20 HP under its own efforts, OR the account was dormant for 90 days. Or some other pre-specified period of time... which would also go a ways towards eliminating "dead" accounts that transacted once at their creation, and never again.

A hardfork would probably be required to add the code at a base level, but I think it could be done.

No, nobody listened to the suggestion because I am not "someone of influence," but at least it was said...
