It might be early material you are reading there @goldrooster because account creation is open to all now just by going through the main splash page at https://whaleshares.io I believe account approvals are currently being done by Witnesses so if your a real person (not a bot) then getting an account is pretty easy now. You don't need anything to do with Bitshares.

As for claiming the Sharedrop, I think the window for that is closed and you can't claim at the moment. The last liquid WLS transfer from the @wls account was 21 days ago. I am not sure if they are going to open it back up at some point - I guess that's one of the questions about what to do with the WLS still sitting in that account.

Hit me up on Discord if you need any specific help and I'll do what I can. Alternatively the Whaleshares Discord has a #new-account-support channel that is very helpful.
