STEEMIT POINTER - HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING A STEEMIT ACCOUNT?

It has come to my attention, for new users attempting to register for Steemit, some people wait an hour, some people wait days, some people are not getting approved ever, and they don't know why.

For new account registration, Steemit tracks:

• IP, email and phone number

and each must be unique (due to bots signing up for multiple new accounts, they use this strict signup criteria; not sure it's documented anywhere though, at least not the IP part)

To fix each issue that might come up, I suggest:

• IP, to have a new IP address while registering, use a VPN to log into a proxy server that has a different IP than you normally use
• email - create a new email account if necessary, and forward email from your new account to your main email inbox
• phone - use a phone texting site (hosts phone numbers and allows you to receive a text message on the web page). If Steemit sends text for confirmation link or pin number, it will show up on a shared page, others will only see your confirmation, nothing else about you..

It should be obvious when registration is disallowed (because of one of the above issues), but it's not.. you just never get approved, and sent a new account email.

I know it's the highest priority to fix this problem, the new signup process is probably being tested now.. by a new means that will somehow self pay for new accounts (generated SP that pays back the delegated SP over time), instead of using delegated SP from one of the steemit accounts.

In some ways currently, Steemit is hobbled by this until it can fix it.
