Hello Future Steemians!

Welcome to @lovesteemaccount service. This is a non-automated human curated service for free account creation provided by @forykw (using claimed accounts).

Motivation

To further help the steem community, @forykw decided to put good use to the ability to claim accounts. For him, it's not just a responsibility towards the economics of the STEEM blockchain but also an old wish for others to experience the same account creation "free" that Steemit started. The idea behind this account would serve existing and future Steemians as a public record of created accounts, initiatives and service policy details.

Service Abstract

This service is intended to provide a Steem account for FREE! In addition, it also aims to put together, in an ad-hoc mode, a collection of good practices, humanized support and/or guidance for new users. Initially it can also be used by existing Steem users (based on some requirements explained bellow), although and depending on the "stock" of claimed accounts, priority to NEW users to Steem will be given.

Creation Policy

Since the idea is to bring a curated service to onboard NEW users, account creation will give priority and preference for NEW users. Existing users can also request FREE accounts, although the following bellow "For existing users" rules apply and NO delegation or support will be given to those new created accounts.

For existing users

Requester MUST:

  • Create a post where the main tag is #lovesteemaccount and mention @lovesteemaccount
  • State clearly the purpose of the NEW FREE account
  • Provide the 4 types (Owner, Active, Posting and Memo) of public keys on the post
  • Provide the desired name for the new account

For NEW users

If you are one of the ones that never tried Steemit and would like to start exploring it without ANY associated cost, then you have reached the right place!

In order for this to be possible, users should acknowledge (for now) that time spent on this endeavor by @forykw should be interpreted as a best effort (no guarantees of availability sorry), aiming to bring success to new users and the respective supporting community.

The methods of communication and skills transfer will be adapted within reasonable terms, respecting privacy of both ends. In the event of disagreement, disrespect, or any hostile intentions, the service can be denied.

New Users will have an initial (non lifetime guaranteed) delegation, either from @lovesteemaccount or @forykw until there is enough SP in Love❤️Steem Account. The amount of SP delegated will depend on what the user wishes to do with the account and will be determined as required with a minimum of 10 SP initially.

Creation of the account will only be accepted if the user is willing to provide enough proof of identity via public means. Unknown persons, will not be on scope. Although some form of proof of identity is required, all private conversations will be private and kept as such, otherwise suggested by the user. Under no circumstances the communication shall be used to take advantage of external confidential topics and/or strategies to damage other users or organizations.

What's included?

This can be slightly changed with time, but for now it should serve as a good guide for the tour.

  • A FREE Steem account (worth 3 STEEM) - Created either with Master key or Public keys generation
  • A FREE delegation of minimum 10 SP (can be higher)
  • @forykw and @lovesteemaccount as followers!
  • A FREE consultation (time varies) on Steemit website and how STEEM Blockchain works
  • Skills transfer on what APPs to use, in order to facilitate learning experience
  • One guaranteed initial 100% upvote on the first #introduceyourself post
  • Some initial guidance and support (until you can manage yourself)
  • Lots of dedication from an amazing community like ALL of YOU! - @forykw will be overseeing this on his best capabilities

Objectives (UPDATED 09-02-2019)

Can also differ with time as it fits the purpose of users needs and the STEEM Blockchain Infrastructure (that can change with time).

  1. Overall "necessary" understanding of how all it works on STEEM Blockchain
  2. Understanding the functions of each Key and their ownership acknowledgment
  3. Understanding how to change the Master password of the account
  4. Make the first post (if wanted) mentioning the experience with this service
  5. Follow @lovesteemaccount for news and other future guides
  6. (UPDATED) Understand the associated risks of maintaining @forykw as Recovery Account or change the user to @steem or someone else.

Materials

With time, will be come available as posts on the @lovesteemaccount and can be also references to other posts. Potentially there will be some requests for the community to help, being that support always curated by the service.

Rules of engagement

Initially this will have to be a compromise between what it will prove to be best and what works. Later these might change as well, after practice. Although it may be interpreted as a remote service for onboarding users into STEEM Blockchain, it can also be face-to-face if you happen to be nearby.

Suggestions to how it can be, are accepted. For now is just @forykw, who's adaptability is amazing (although not a GOD, he can't possibly be everywhere at the same time) and will try some random tricks to make people happy, if possible. Although he, like many others, has a family and a job. Please take that into consideration and that this is a FREE service.

Examples of initial communication (with @forykw) could be, ANY of the following:

Examples of followup communication, can be ANY, prior agreement (with exception of Facebook). Zoom usually works quite well here and its free and unlimited for one-to-one.

Or anywhere around the world, if there is any chance for it (the world is small).

Discussions outside of STEEM topic can happen (especially taking into consideration that @forykw is part of @eosoceania), but will not be part of the focus and therefore will not be encouraged.

Future plans

For now this will be nothing less than a big "?" for @forykw. The idea is launched and will be accompanied with dedication and love, almost 2 Years of experience on STEEM Blockchain and many other experiences outside of it.

@forykw has some other ideas brewing in his busy brain, and for now will run this as ad-hoc, but feel free to drop him a message with any suggestions and/or opinions.

Great effort. How will you handle account recovery? What's the policy on that?

Great question. The idea will not to be dependent on that, so either educate the user how to change it, or I will do it myself before handling the re-generation of the user keys process.

Will test this and update the post. Thanks!

Ok, before going ahead... just sensing something... but here is the summary:

  1. For any of the existing accounts, they can easily change their recovery account already, with their owner key. If they do not know how to do it, I can help.
  2. For the new users, I can teach them how to do the same, although I would be ok, being a recovery account for them if they would wish so. The same applies to anyone on the first point. But I need to stress how this works in case I die... therefore the need to explain how the process works and how can you change the recovery account.

There's always the question about, "if I am not around"... but that's part of the trust here. I will wish to take care of my own ones... and when they feel happy to be "free birds" teach them how they can become "free".

Hi @emrebeyler, we have updated the post. In a few hours, a post will be released to help users understand more about the Recovery Account.

Thanks for your interest and opinion.
