RE: Steem Saturday, Johannesburg (2017) - feedback
The problem for the non-steemian people is that the signing up process is such a pain in the rear, that most of them will probably give up after a long wait period and then they won't end up using it.
I eventually had to buy a 2nd account for my brother since steemit lost 2 account creations for me and the cell phone numbers can't be re-registered anymore since it's already in the database.
For people that are little bit more clued up it's not a big deal to buy an account from Steemconnect, but not for non technical people this won't work out at all.
Quite a bit of truth there @diebaasman!! My account took like 4 hours to activate but some people wait like 2 weeks 😳
I tried registering an account for my brother both times waited nearly a month and getting no feedback and when eventually complaining on Steemit.chat just to get told use a service like AnonSteem.
I gave it up as a bad idea and just used SteemConnect and paid the account creation fee from my own wallet.
I don't know why there can't be a more straight forward way of buying, donating an account for someone. I don't mind paying the account creation fee for my brother since it's such a small amount of steem. My problem is they make it such a weird procedure to go through.
Find account creation fee and multiply by 30 to get the amount required type nonsense.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Let's just blame it on the "beta" status for now hey ☺️
