RE: Nobody Can Sign Up to Steemit.com Right Now and Why It's AWESOME! (Really Awesome)
I think security is first concern here. Having to reimburse 100,000 people stolen founds would kill the business. But when it's ready to re-open, I think we should consider having the "friends invite" function added to increase the virality of this baby. Keep it under invitation only BUT allow everyone that is in the invite.
If that's the case, I think it should be communicated as a security precaution rather than a"private members club." Certain voting behaviours are already beginning to foster a feeling of "insiders" and "outsiders"... this step could exacerbate that.
Having someone that can vouch for a new member may work as it should raise the quality of content. However even that won't legislate against hackers/lax passwods etc.
that would not be a wise on the branding and marketing side. Message it has invitation only and then move forward as invitation only too. They need to control the growth of it and putting a dampener is wise at this point. It's not a lie to say that it's under invitation only when it is. I use "private membership" term to illustrate a phenomenon that people will experience by being invited.
An affiliate link would be fantastic to piggypack from future whales. If I can push a link to someone famous that I want to see on Steemit, then boom, I can actually start changing my kids life.
