Error Creating SteemIt Account

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

I want to address the SteemIt backend development team from the perspective of a user (who understands a bit of development) who have had issues creating his account,

a- I couldn’t chat or seek customer support since I was not yet a user

I’m assuming the assumption here by the development team is that the account creation/login module will not break. I hope I don’t need to stress on how important that bit of user experience is for the future users…

b- The JSON error message I received during account creation

Are you F* kidding me? You threw the entire server error to a user who’s trying to create an account? The error message not only contained every key like weight_threshold, account_create_with_delegation, etc. but also pointing to the line number from the very C++ file??? _ webket_a.cpp

What exactly was wrong, you’d ask? I had to specify a shorter account name, the same account name that was accepted when I initially signed up. You guys need to put a check on the max lengths allowed in input parameters as a global variable perhaps.

Nd’ in case the backend team reads it, let me know who to email the entire server output. Looking forward for a stronger Blockchain.
