Still works! I was able to make a new account using this method earlier today. Conveniently, @drakos addressed the current fee a few hours ago on a post he wrote: As of right now account_creation_fee is 0.1 STEEM
Using the math @blacktranquility posted above I made the new account using "3.000 STEEM" and I left VESTS at "0.000000 VESTS"
@gameskiller, I too received the error messeage but realized it was triggerd by my semantics, I had a capital letter in the username. I believe it will also fail if you were to type in a value of 3 instead of "3.000 STEEM" or delete the value in the VESTS field, leaving it blank, instead of "0.000000 VESTS"
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Oh thanks. I think I know my problem haha.
I didn't had any Steem Coins. Now it worked, after I bought some of these. Sorry for that, my stupidity.
And yes, it was also because of the capital letters. Thank you again.

Thanks @doctor-onion for your message. It was useful for me even after a month. I was able to create an account today with 3 STEEM by following the same procedures.
