Hi @paulag, thanks for the report! The changes to the account creation system are very interesting! From what I could see, steemit seems to have fully switched to create discounted accounts but continues to give a 15 SP delegation for new signups. The post-HF20 data set is still comparably small to draw conclusions, but at least the trend looks promising and I'm also looking forward to other dApp account creation services making use of the new possibilities. Your next report will tell! :)

Prior to HF 20, this value was multiplied by 30 to get the actual cost so 3 Steem.

It depends on the account creation method if this multiplication is applied. The multiplication on the fee is used for accounts that are created without delegation. This requires 30x the account creation fee = 3 STEEM. For account that were created with delegation, only 1x the account creation fee had to be paid (0.1 STEEM) together with a delegation of (creation_fee * 30 * 5) = ~15 SP.
