There are several ways that users are currently able to signup for Steem blockchain accounts:
- Users can get a 100% free account by signing up via Steemit.com. They must however provide their email address and phone number, and wait for Steemit to review the account. The process usually takes less than 24 hours, but for some accounts it may take up to 7 days. The review process is to ensure that users are not attempting to abuse the system and signup for multiple free accounts.
- Users who already have a Steem blockchain account can instantly create additional accounts using SteemConnect, just by paying the account creation fee (currently 6 STEEM).
- Users can anonymously create an account using AnonSteem, by paying the account creation fee plus a small fee for using the service. Users are able to pay in STEEM, BTC, or LTC.
Thanks to witness @netuoso, there is now a fourth option:
Users can open an account with their credit card using SteemCreate!
Even if you don't plan to create a new account, I highly suggest you check out this new site. It is really professional looking, and has a lot of great information about Steem!
Creating a new account with SteemCreate is very simple:
- Go to https://www.steemcreate.com/.
- Click "SIGN UP NOW" in the upper right corner.
- Enter your unique username (it will tell you if the name is already chosen).
- Click "Checkout".
- Enter your credit card information:
- Click the "Pay $x.xx" button (currently $10.00).
- Wait for the payment to be processed, and the account to be created.
- You will be taken to a page that shows your new account information:
- Click the "Copy" button next to your password to copy it to the clipboard.
- Save your password somewhere safe, and back it up in the event that your hard drive crashes.
- Seriously - make sure you save and backup your password. Do not wait to do this later. Do it right away.
That's it!
Be sure to pay attention to the tips at the bottom:
You will now be able to login to Steemit.com, or many of the other Steem blockchain services such as Busy.org, ChainBB, eSteem, Utopian.io, (and many more)!
The liquid rewards from this post will be used to buy STEEM and donated to the @steemcreate account. Note, the website is being run as a 'for profit' service, but this will help provide additional funding to the account so it can deal with larger volumes of account signups without needing to be constantly refilled.
A huge thank you @netuoso for creating this highly valuable service!!!
If you would like to support @netuoso, please consider voting on him for witness, or helping to provide additional startup funding to the @steemcreate account.
Anyone can sign up? I mean world wide users can join this?.

Thanks for the mention and helping to share this project. With the recent hike in Steem prices, users are essentially getting a FREE account through SteemCreate. (The account comes with 6 SP deposited in it for $10!!)
I will try my best to keep the prices at $10 as long as possible but we shall see how the market moves things.
It has been great to contribute to Steem and I really look forward to many more influential creators joining.

If 6 SP is added to account, then current price of STEEM and real cost of $1($10-6x$1.5) is shown in the front page will inspire more adoption. Anyway, it still looks very convenient way to create an account :)

This is great! I love that we get new possibilities to create new accounts, especially ones like this one where you don't even need to have any crypto to buy the account in the first place. Might be a good solution for getting new members!
Also, I really like the website. I didn't create an account, but it seems easy to use, and has a lot of good information for new users! Well done @netuoso!

Who is keeping the credit card information and how it is protected?
Nice to see options to create steem accounts.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
The credit card information is securely processed through Stripe. No credit card information is ever stored on SteemCreate's servers.
You can check out Stripe documentation to find more technical information. In summary, your credit card information is turned into a one-time-use token that is then sent to Stripe and processed for the charge.
The Steem information for the account is stored in the browser local storage and can be deleted via the SteemCreate website. The cookie contains the only copy of the original password. Deleting the cookie makes it impossible for me to help you recover your account unless you made proper backups.

This is great news @timcliff ! And great job @netuoso ! Its awesome to have a fourth sign up available . I have been here since July 2016 just a month or so after you joined ( Just finished watching your interview with @terrybrock Great Job my friend ! ) I started a second account myself a couple of months ago using @AnonSteem so I had a blog just for my food posts ! Its an only food and drinks blog that's so much easier to keep track of and follow my followers posts easier with many less in my feed there and they don't get lost as easily or mixed in with all the other stuff I blog about . Its definitely great to have another option that can be paid for by credit card ! Thanks for sharing the information with us ! Upped and resteemed !! 👍👍👍💳💳💳

Is it allowing people to not wait the steemit team to send the the password ? is it faster or direct ? And if someone already have an account on steemit he can create multiple account that way ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Creating an account with this method is a lot faster than the current free signup process via steemit.com. I went through it myself, and other than filling out the info (which took about 2-3 minutes) - I got an account in about 30 seconds.
Users are allowed to create multiple accounts, as long as they pay the account signup fee for any accounts beyond their first 'free' one.

Las personas pueden crear tantas cuentas como deseen, si pagan la tarifa de creación de la cuenta para esas cuentas. Dividir Steem Power en varias cuentas no proporciona ninguna recompensa adicional en comparación con mantener todo en uno.

I like the idea. The steemcreate page explains everything in a simple way. I still know people who can't understand how steemit works.
And the Free lost password recovery option can be helpful for many.
Good job 👍
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I am changing the language related to that. However, for SteemCreate to help you with an account recovery, you must have a backed up password or owner key.
Because of this, it is actually most useful if someone STEALS your account and changes your owner key. SteemCreate can then help you (the owner of an old, valid key) retrieve your account.
If a user loses their password and all their keys ... their account is doomed to never be recovered.
