New Tool from Busy.org - Create New Steem Blockchain Accounts with SteemConnect!

in news •  8 years ago 

That is really mis-characterising the situation. They are working hard to make the signup process as easy and smooth as possible, but it costs them money each time they open an account. With the current prices, it is either around $15 worth of STEEM per account, or delegating around $75 worth. Lots of users were abusing the system and creating hundreds/thousands of accounts just to milk the free STEEM. They had to switch over to a manual approval process to review the accounts before creating them to cut down on the abuse. They are working on a way to automate this, but it will take time to develop something that works well and can't be abused.

Well explained, once again Timmer.

I am a hockey guy, we make up nicknames, I have been doing this awhile LOL

I haven't been called Timmer in years, lol. My best friends mom used to call me that back in elementary school. Good times :)

We can also go with Cliffy

I also considered Cliffer.

eh? Hahahaha. I am glad you like it!

Cliffy is my dad's nickname :) I'd prefer Timmer if I have any choice in the matter :)

Timmer it is my man!

That's why they should be selling the accounts! I proposed it almost a year ago: We need an easy way to buy new accounts.

But for some weird reason that I haven't yet understood, Steemit wants to only give away free accounts, even when it means a lot of work.

Well, glad the Busy.org team filled the need :)

And I'm glad they do. If we consider there's billions of people throughout the world that don't have access to financial services, it is crucial for them to be able to create a Steem account for free.
