If the steemit.com account creation has failed and you did not get your account you can use something else.There is a website where you can make the account yourself with a small fee. Guess how much is that fee? 10 STEEM!!!

The website is called AnonSteem
AnonSteem allows you to purchase new STEEM accounts using Bitcoin or Litecoin.
You can pay with Litecoin,Bitcoin and steem and you don't need you phone number,or any details.
I sugest you pay with Litecoin as it's faster with lower transaction fees.

Don't pay 50 STEEM !

Or if you want to help a friend you can make him an account using a new tool from Busy.org with only 6 STEEM !

Go to https://v2.steemconnect.com/accounts/create
Choose account name .Will turn green if available
Save the password
Go to https://steemd.com/ and find the current value for account_creation_fee.Multiply the value by 30.Now the creation fee is 0.200 so it will be 6 STEEM.
Make sure you have the STEEM in your wallet
Connect with your own steemit account
That's it.You got your friend a new account .EASY and FAST.

Or a faster way with Steempy -steem-python:
steempy newaccount accountname --account fishmon

Jerry you proved once again that you are here just for the money.I assume you will lose about 10% of your big followers after this post.
At least you could have done is mentioning the above alternatives.
