RE: Welcome To Steemit: How do I get Steem Power? How Do I Buy Things and Get Money?
Yeah, originally I created @newsagg with the idea of providing what I wanted but couldn't find anywhere else. A single place you could see a cross section of news from many different perspectives without pushing one particular agenda.
I was thinking I might have others help with that account, but so far it is just me. I have a requirement with @newsagg that I try to keep my own bias out of it. I can't completely, but I do try to minimize it.
I am also @chaospoet when the urge to let my insanity loose and write weird poetry.
I am also @becauseisaidso which will mostly just be an account that I resteem my critical thinking, politics, and philosophy posts.
I am also @seductiveart which is where I resteem my gaming art, and other art posts. It is also where I keep my NSFW posts that have nudity, or other not safe for work content.
and finally
I am @metal4ever which is where I plan to resteem and post metal music related posts. I like all kinds of music, but metal tends to be my favorite and I tend to at times write quite prolifically about it.
That's it. That is my current presence on steem/steemit.
I started consciously expanding my own reading when I realized the left is being censored almost as much as the right on the web. It appears the plutocrats are doing their best to silence everybody, because what everybody agrees on is less war, less corruption in government, less evil by megacorps and a monetary system that actually works for the people, not just the banksters and their cronies. This is why it is so essential for them that 1) the left be pitted against the right in the controlled media, 2) education be indoctrination to obey "authority" and 3) the grand narrative of the global march towards progress never be questioned.
See: Google intensifies censorship of left-wing websites From last year, but wow!
Regarding alt accounts: When I was working on recovering my account, before I contacted you, I bought another sim-card for my phone to create a second account (because you need a telephone number). There must be a way around that, but I don't know it. Would that be worth a post for you?
I used anon.steem.network to create new accounts if need be. You have to pay to do it but it'll accept bitcoin, litecoin, or steem.
When I bought an account for Dr. Corsi a couple of weeks ago it came to about $21.
Good to know. Though it is only ca. $3 here for a new sim-card/telephone number, so I guess it depends on speed and convenience.
Anon steem is as quick as the currency getting to them. So the only delay is waiting for the steem, litecoin, or bitcoin to show up and be verified.
So less than a half hour wait. Likely less than 10 minutes actually. Depends upon which currency you use. Likely less than a minute if you use steem, and litecoin is faster than bitcoin.
Also if for some reason you wanted to remain anonymous... anon.steem.network asks for no information that identifies you in any way such as a phone number. So you can make completely anonymous accounts with it.
I made @newsagg and @jeromecorsi using it.
I used a steem connect method that was not working when I made jeromecorsi to make @becauseisaidso, @seductiveart, and @metal4ever.
That method costs 0.5 steem, and then you delegate steem power to it from your account. So I loaned those accounts some of my dwinblood steem power.
Relevant information for me, thank you!
