*Excellent news*!  Very glad to receive this word of encouragement @blocktrades / Dan.  And thank you for the clarification of who you are.

You have a ***lot*** of influence on ensuring we get Hive off to a much, much better start than Steem had (from all I have read about it).  As you work through the coming days and weeks, you may wish to consider the "silent majority" of your fellow Steemians who will be ***rooting for you*** to "exceed expectations" in your efforts to bring your vision to life and rekindle some hope again about what is possible, as you take concrete steps to restore trust.

P.S.  Not to be presumptuous, but given what you have said here, perhaps we are like-minded more than I might have had reason to hope.  One of my first [posts](https://steempeak.com/business/@roleerob/essential-foundation-for-good-business) was on *"The Essential Foundation for Good Business"* in which trust and good communication feature prominently.
