HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE for a new account TO BE APPROVED to get on Steemit
I have a friend wanting to get on Steemit and its been 2 days since he has signed up and still no confirmation .
Just wondering whats taking so long . He is starting to lose his enthusiasm.
Anyone have an answer ??????
i know two people who created accounts over a week ago and still no response.
It has been 2 weeks since my friend applied and They are going to make a new e-mail and name and try again . Steemit has a problem and they need to fix it .Someone told me the problem with my friend was because I was login into the computer with my account when they applied .so I will not be login into steemit this time . That's about all I know
mine only take 2 days to approved. there must be some technical issue or maybe server issue.
I am not sure the issue but its frustrating me. If i recommend it to someone and they cant sign up? Its not building hype but changing peoples minds about joining.
Hi @otisnrown. Just wondered if your friend ever got approved? Thanks
Thanks for pointing that out. I think that might be why my friend is having to wait over 2 weeks. did the account ever get approved or is it still in limbo?
I got accepted after waiting 23 hours... Hope this is a great site, guess I will find out now though.
i am also waiting for the approval of my new steemit account…… •ᴗ•
perhaps have to wait for a week,,,
to every new steemit friend, after you have earned steem and sbd, you will, of course, want to withdraw your earnings. in case you do not how to do with it, just read my experiences, I will keep these articles updated in my websites:
How to withdraw the money you earn at Steemit into USD in your PayPal or bank card?
The Tools I Am Using to Withdraw Steemit Money into PayPal
How to Buy Bitcoin via PayPal?
Thank you for the links. I have so much to learn about this platform.
I don't know but that sounds like bad policy
Well it does not sound like good policy that's for sure.
You will need to do the secret hand shake first
Steemit must be like the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes
Lol Solidgold that's funny
Did they paid the entrance fee yet?
That maybe the result of such delays
Lol!
Seems like it depends on the country. I have been getting friends to join from around the world and some get approved in a few days, while others are still waiting over a week later...
So it seems he is not the only one waiting
I think there will be a lot of people in that boat. It could be a serious inhibitor to this site growing, but i can see why they would want to check people are not bots...
Hope they streamline it soon though...
I hope so too
I feel like there are better ways to trap spam accounts though. Like, what is it that they're doing in that 48 hours? Is somebody manually checking these? All I can assume is that if they are querying some of the services available to see if the account has been used for spam purposes... but I doubt they're doing that manually or that's going to be a huge issue as they try to scale the site.
I'd definitely be interested to know what the technical reason is for the delay.
If they are doing it manually then maybe it is taking so long because it is a week end .
This kind of shit needs to be fixed and like fast. It makes Steemit look like a run out of your garage business .
Took less than 12 hours for my account to be approved, I think.

Same situation here. I'm guessing it's some kind of measure to prevent people from just setting up dummy accounts to upvote their own stuff, but that seems counterproductive. I mean, if it's someone setting up dummy accts they would have no problem waiting days, but people who actually are passingly interested being left waiting days for approval are likely to get annoyed or bored with it.
jrhughes thanks for your input on this
my friend is about to just forget about joining he is not happy he has reservations about crypto currency to start with .
While your friend waits, maybe they'd consider........
well you never know
My approvement takes couple hours. I'm here less than a week. So i think it will be happen soon. Just reminder today is weekend it could be the reason
Thanks @twn
I was lucky to get in when it was quick, but I wanted to set up another account for a LEO accountability project, but I can't because my phone number has already been used... Seems like a blockchain tech would have a better way. Maybe soon.
Did they contact you and say you were not approved
No, the process ended when I put my number in and it was the same as the one used for this account.
I don't know
Tell me when you find it out
I will post when the approval comes through
