RE: Steem user onboarding with Fiat. Three options now and more on the way.
I’ve told people to sign up for free via share2steem - is that wrong?
What are “RC problems” exactly? Trying to understand the advantage of paying for accounts when there are free options.

No, not wrong at all. I didn't know @share2steem was also onboarding users. Where they signed up fast?
RC problems:
The amount of Steempower you have dedicated how much you can do on the blockchain (comment, upvotes, post etc..). These actions all costs RC's (Resource Credits).
The more Steempower you have the more Resource credits you can spend in a day.
If you have a new account with a little bit of SP you the risk of running out of RC's preventing you from doing simple actions after a while. You will get an error message that you need more RC's (or Steempower). You then have to wait until it regenerates or buy and power up more STEEM.
Paid vs Free
The difference is that an app won't be able to onboard users for free indefinitely. They can do it for a while because having Steempower also means you can create accounts for free. But is limited. They will run out of RC's at some point with too much demand.
When the new users pay for an account this is not an issue. Unlimited onboarding is possible.
Ok thanks for the explanation! That’s annoying indeed if you run out of RC’s... Then these Fiat options are indeed useful, though I guess 15SP doesn’t really solve that problem either..
Yes, https://share2steem.io/ - red button for instant account creation.
