RE: Steemit Problems: New user waiting list
I am pretty new. It did take a few days to get approved (3). I assumed it was to try to combat bot accounts or people with multiple accounts. Or to keep a steady flow of new users added to the block chain in a way that doesn't manipulate the value of STEEM/DOLLAR or content both.
Thanks for content.
i would not recommend paying for an account tho.
Paying for an account isn't really a bad thing, you're not really paying for the account, you're basically purchasing enough Steem to make the account fully functional without having to wait for any to be delegated or given to you.
I went through Anonsteem for a recent secondary account and the fee seemed to give me Steem at market rate with a very tiny surcharge perhaps. The account started with about 20 Steem, currently valued at about $45 USD.
I can understand the stigma of people "buying before trying" but these services are definitely on the level.
