RE: Developer preview - SteemPay mobile wallet | QR to upvote | Consensus needed
I would start this out in an MVP state, and make it so that account creation isn't even a part of it. The core goal should be importing an existing account via QR code or private key, and use it as a tool to empower existing users.
I believe the dev team is working on solutions right now for account creating, you can find them on github. I'd wait to see what their solution is instead of creating your own solution.
Account creation can come at a later date honestly. I don't see people downloading the app before they create an account here on steemit, it's not going to be a channel to spur user adoption. Use the existing infrastructure (and faucets) for the time being and just get the product out the door :)
IMO this is the best approach. Given that there currently is no direct way to register an account, it's clear further development of the concept is necessary, be it the UI / UX or ideology that drives it (will accounts always need to be tied to some other authenticated ID like it is now?), and what incentives or business considerations come into play.
I would avoid potential conflicts between your account creation methodology and any that Steemit devs may come up with.
