RE: Steemit Quick Start Guide: Step by Step from Registration to First Post
Nice work! Btw i was wondering if sign up could be "instant" and all those confirmations and account security could only be set up later. For one i think its important to also lower the barrier and get people experiencing steemit asap..
Some people are turned off by the requirement of a phone number. But that makes some sense for steemit as opposed to steem. So look forward to other ways to use steem like steemit with different barriers.
Yes I think it is tricky. If there are no hurdles to jump over then it good be gamed with lots of spam accounts.
I'm not sure - it might be worth exploring - for example the account is initially set up so you can view all the settings and things and pages but you can't actually post or vote until you set everything up. If you don't do so within a certain set period then the account is deleted.
I think the problem with this would be the blockchain basis where you can't really delete things, however there are likely to be ways round it, - provisional accounts could be cached on an external server (like images) until they are fully activated.
