Create Instant Account for New Users Using Steemconnect

source

Fellow eSTEEmed,

I hope you are good as you read this post of mine. As a lot of persons try to sign up on to steeemit and get the steem rush, it now takes longer time tobe approved. I do remember I got approved after 6 hours. But now, it takes a longer time to get approved; maybe16 days, a month or never. Well, we have the anon steem to create anonymous accounts but for someone looking for financial freedom may not have enough to afford the fees to create an account.

So about 5-10 people I have invited haven’t received their passwords mails. Going through the steem.chat general page too and some groups on Telegram, some others too are complaining about not getting approved. This is quite sad, for someone to already relating to steem communities must really be ready to do a lot on the blockchain, unfortunately, they cannot because they don’t have an account.

No need to be so sad since there is a solution to this.

I was having a good time chatting with friends in the africauncahined community when @otemzi dropped in and told us we can instant accounts with just 0.5 steem and 14 steem power. My joy, I have this friend who has been reminding that he hasn’t got his password yet. I decided to test it out to help create an account for my friend. @otemzi in his benevolent spirit donated the steem to use.

It’s quite simple, just use steemconnect to create the account.

1. First, go to https://v2.steemconnect.com/accounts/create

2. Fill the form with the username intended to use. It has to be new i.e. not in use already. You can check that using steemd.com/@username or steemnow.com/@username (steemd.com is down sometimes). If its new, you’ll get a “page not found” on steemd.com or a “username ‘blabla’ doesn’t exist”. If you get any of that, you know you are free to proceed.

3. A password will be there on the form. Make sure it is copied and backed up somewhere safe
   The field “steem” on the form gets “0.5 STEEM”. I didn’t or couldn’t test if I could put more. The steem will be the steem power of the new account.

4. The field “vest” on the form gets “29700 VESTS”. That will give the account 14.537 delegated steem powers.
   Crosscheck everything filled and if correct, click on “continue”.

5. Sign In with your account credentials to complete the process.

You’ll then get the message of the complete creation of your account.

Give the username and password to the new user and ask then to change (password reset) it.

There you have it. A new account is created. So I created one for @nationofgod. You can check him out and support him. So help new users create instant accounts instead of waiting weeks to get an account. And you can undelegate your steem power back when they have found their feed. It is advisable to have much steem power (80 and above) so you may not fall into the exceeded bandwidth problem.
