Steemit Re-Opens New User Registration
I'm happy to announce that Steemit has re-enabled account registration for new users, as of today.
Over the past week our team has successfully recovered the vast majority of compromised accounts to their original owners, including over 80% of all accounts secured by Steemit through the recent hard fork. Our support team is working around the clock in efforts to recover remaining accounts.
We have updated our password policy in an effort to reduce the likelihood of future incidents. All new accounts, password changes, and account recovery actions will require the use of a password randomly generated by your browser.
If you have not updated your password to a randomly generated password, then we recommend you change your password immediately.

Open the floodgates!
I created a guide to help ease the process of setting up a password manager, incorporating the new randomly generated password flow. It also includes an explanation of how to secure LastPass with Duo Multi-factor auth for free.

Influx of new users eh?
Might I recommend whales start flagging crappy content then!
First impressions are important.

I apologize for not being a writing god...I'm working on it :-(
This is exactly what is happening, lol
insert: "BRACE YOUR SELFS MEME"
As the news gets out about this over the next couple of days, there is going to be a huge surge of New users. Everyone should be aware that there are a limited number of whales, and they can not get to every user's posts the first day they join, no matter how good the post is. So do not get discouraged if you do not get any votes or any high paying votes your first couple of days, or maybe even your first week or two. But eventually as you begin posting in the community and people start to recognize the value of your content, you will start getting more and larger votes.
1 month ago there were less than 1,000 posts a day for the whales to sift through on the New page, now there are nearly 8,000 posts a day, and multiple posts a minute being added to the New page. And as more and more people join that number is going to go up. So your posts may be lost in an avalanche of New posts, especially if you happen to post when no whales are paying attention.
But over the next few months we will start seeing an effective rise in the number of minnows. In 1-3 months, it might not be strange to get $20-$30 just from people adding .01cent, .05cents, .10cents and .20cents, etc, because there will be so many new people that have that level of STEEM Power.
So just be patient, and keep posting.
@steemitblog This is good news for us all, wish the best for the future steemit, cheers

Just re-opened today?
There is still a lot to learn the hard way for Steem and Steemers... the system is in its infancy. But as they say... What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
