ANONSTEEM - Create Anonymous Steem Accounts without social media
Currently, there are two ways to get a STEEM Account. The first is to sign up for Steemit with a Reddit or Facebook account, the second is to create an account using CLI_WALLET or Piston and have the account permanently linked to your own account.
Neither option really allows you to be anonymous. Want to post controversial posts, or say something that would otherwise be illegal in your country? (e.g. poor free speech laws) Then Anonsteem is here to help.
Introducing: @anonsteem
PUBLIC INTERNET: anon.steem.network
TOR: steemlohs6air4h2.onion
So what actually is this?
AnonSteem allows you to purchase an account using either Bitcoin or Litecoin, and it will be created by the @anonsteem account within a minute of payment.
To protect your privacy, there are no IP logs, we have a TOR hidden service, and we allow you to remove your keys from our server as soon as you create the account.
We give you detailed instructions on changing your keys after creating the account, so you can be sure we're not just going to steal your account later on.
How long does it take to get an account?
Transactions are scanned once a minute, and we accept 0 confirmation transactions. This means you'll most likely have your account within 1-2 minutes of sending the payment, regardless of which coin you paid with.
Can I pay with STEEM?
We don't accept STEEM directly, as that would ruin your privacy. However, if you REALLY want to pay with STEEM, you can send it via ShapeShift (precise mode) to the BTC or LTC address you get during payment.
Doesn't this service mean more spambots?
We don't have any plans to allow en-masse account creation. Every order has to be placed one at a time, with individual payments. Someone looking to create spam bots would most likely look elsewhere.
Anonsteem is targeted at persons or groups looking for one, or a few accounts, with no social media link, and no third party tracking.
HELP - my transaction expired? - The 15 minute limit is just to avoid us checking transactions for abandoned orders. If you've already paid, just PM me on SteemitChat, or send me an email (bottom of the anonsteem page) with your order ID and I'll reset the expiry.
I like your anon.steem.network annouce.
However, there is onother one, absolutely anonimous option to create STEEM accounts without linking either Facebook/Reddit or another STEEM account - the PoW mining.
You can also create accounts via the BitShares wallet (using OpenLedger), though not anon, unless no one knows what your account is on BTS chain, then you're sort of anon. ;)
I never knew that, though I did see some miners with tons of accounts with numbers after their names.
Of course not everyone wants to mine, it's a lot more confusing than even BTC/LTC mining.
Sure, it is simpler and faster to use
cli_walletor your service.I've mentioned PoW mining for completeness.
I was trying to figure that out like the week before you posted that and gave up and never saw your post. shipped 10 bucks for the fix
Thank you!
unless im just too dumb to figure it out, i dont think you can log on to the ui witha POW created account... At least, i wasnt ever able to
For sure you can log on to the UI with a PoW created account.
Here is the solution.
Sure you can, but first you have to update your account keys using cli_wallet, then login with posting key you just set. Optional, after login, you may change/create a password and have all the keys changed again.
Mining steem is super easy. Like super easy, I can set it up in like ten minutes and my coding experience is limited to say the least. Bitcube's miner for windows works just dandy.
Can you provide some links to understand ?
u are on fire my man!
This is a cool idea. I haven't seen much demand for grey or dark market discussions on Steemit yet so not sure how much of a market there is for it, but could definitely see how this could be useful in the future.
a little bird told me there was a steem based DNM in the works
This isn't exactly dark/grey market, I mean there's nothing to stop that here, but I'm aiming this for people like journalists, or people in countries with awful free speech laws (e.g. the UK :P).
Sometimes you have to create the market.
This is really useful for people. Thank you. I think 15 minutes is too short, though. I would extend that time, given how slow Bitcoin can be.
@someguy123 Nice and informative! Cheers
I also invite people to use https://www.tunnelbear.com/ the free service offers 500 MB per month. Turn it on before accessing your anonymous Steem account.
Excellent idea and service.
I was thinking of creating something like this myself. Now I don't have to :)
Good luck!
But what does it do? Is it a private steem network or what?
Nice! Cool service. I can neither confirm nor deny that I will avail myself of this service.
I love it. I was wondering how to creat another account for privacy reasons.
This is an awesome service you've designed here and I'm glad someone's looked at the Steem ecosystem and filled this much needed service.
While I agree that some types of accounts may want to tread on the side of anonymity I often will raise question when unverified account go on to make tons of cash on here.. Glad you're not allowing easy batch creation of these accounts.
Great work dude.
