RE: Velocity Hardfork Account Creation Guidelines
I haven't seen any public statements, but I suspect they will be competing for the discounted accounts along with other stakeholders. Since they have a significantly large amount of SP, they will likely be claiming a large number of the discounted accounts. No code has been checked in, but the faucet issue to track what they are doing is here: https://github.com/steemit/faucet/issues/386
@penguinpablo does a weekly report that includes the number of accounts created on the blockchain: https://steemit.com/steemit/@penguinpablo/weekly-steem-stats-report-monday-august-20-2018
As far as the number created by Steemit, I haven't checked the numbers myself, but I've heard it is around 1,000 per day on average (usually done in periods of large bursts, then quiet days).
Do you know if I can make a 2nd Steemit account? I registered for @oatmealjoey on Steemit.com over a week ago and I'm still waiting for it to be approved.
You can create multiple Steem blockchain accounts, which can be used on steemit.com. You can only get one 'free' account by signing up through the free signup.steemit.com service. There is info about how to create additional accounts in the FAQ as well as the pinned messages of the help channel in steem.chat.
@timcliff, how do they know if a person doesn't already have an account when approving accounts as that might violate the 4th amendment and what about accounts that may be of pets and groups and objects?
I don’t work for Steemit, Inc. and I don’t know how they validate uniqueness. Each signup does require a unique phone number.
Thanks. Yeah. I gave them a new phone number when registering. I waited over a week. But, today, I decided to stop waiting.. So, I used Steem Invite to make a 2nd account. I was simply going to wait maybe for 2 months to see. Because I really wanted to know what might happen. But I guess I was not sponsored or whatever we want to call it. I guess some people offered to help me with borrowing SP for the RC. But I ended up doing it all myself. Thanks again.
@timcliff, are you saying that my registration was rejected?
Sorry, I have no idea about the status of your registration.
I went to register on Steemit.com today. I typed in the username that I wanted @oatmealjoey and it was available. I took that to mean that my 2nd account was not pending.
So, like I said, I used Steem Invite to create a 2nd account after that. I might be wrong, but I'm assuming that they didn't accept the creation of a 2nd account. That's why I went ahead to create a 2nd account myself. Like I said, I probably could have gotten somebody to help me financially. But, I guess I have enough money to do it myself.
But I was curious.
Like, if I pretended to be a new person, would that work?
Good question.
But I guess it doesn't really matter.
I'm only intellectually curious about how things work.
Because I love philosophy, etc.
So, I love questioning things.
But I guess it's ok.
Now I know how to invite my mom and other people to join, since I know how to invite myself onto Steem.
And I will continue to try to encourage others to join Steemit.
Thanks again, Tim, for caring.
