RE: What is excellent about HF20?
For me, one of the most important changes are those that make it easier to onboard new users. Not only to participate on Steem, but to receive and use Steem as well.
Creating an ethereum account for example is a lot easier and faster than the current Steem creation account. Simply because it currently costs money to create an account.
Now obviously this money isn't gone, instead, its powered up. However with the new model, depending on how many free Account Token there are, it could very well be that this barrier is a lot lower.
Personally I think the biggest barrier is that you need someone else to create the account for you, which isn't the case with Ethereum. That unfortunately isn't changing in this fork.
Hm, that's a very valid point.
It seems that Steemit Inc. also added some code for future account creation through mining, which could be activated with a soft-fork.
In the HF20 post, they mentioned that the problem of creating an account without any second party would be the missing customisation of the recovery account. Mined accounts should have the ability to add a custom recovery account after the account is created.
So maybe creating an account without any 2nd party isn't so long away, after all?
Sure, it does seem there are some steps being taken in that direction.
