Steemit Account Approval hiccup

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Lately (as per my knowledge - 1 week) New users signing up for steemit account have had to wait days to get approved while others 1 week.

My girlfriend and two of my friends applied for steemit account last week on Wednesday and upto today they are still waiting.What could be the hiccup be about? Are there too many requests lately or a technical problem?

Someone with knowledge about the current hiccup please enlighten me.

I registered 6 days ago and I get confirmed in an hour! May be there is traffic with new users!

I have had the same experience. Maybe this is dependent on where in the world you are registering from?

This matter is explained here
But I still believe that If Steemit wants to grow, this problem has to be solved in a more practical way.

exactly what we keep saying for some time now, even on here -- it's not a coincidence that Facebook and let alone Twitter make it extremely easy to sign up in order to not turn away new users!!

You are perfectly right. Steemit should benefit from the hype and the advertisement from devoted steemians. I am sure they can find a better solution for the security problem.

STEEMIT is getting back logged for a few weeks as over 10k+ people came through. One of my buddies waited like a week. I wouldn't worry as this is a good thing as more people are getting involved into steem :-)

I think it is probably due to lots of new users yeah, but i wonder why they even do this restriction where they have to go over each new account manually. followed <3

With no restrictions, tons spammers would open 100's of accounts and manipulate the system lol

As I said in reply to a previous comment: I am sure they can find a better solution for the security problem.

I assumed this was to weed out bots and also a 'Nintendo switch out' (keeping production low to keep demand high)
