RE: SteemLiberator Launches Steem Account Creation Service
I like it, but how to be sure that the "steem account provider" do not save the private key in its server?

The easiest way to be sure is to create the account, then use the password to reset your password. This will regenerate all new private keys for the account.
It is not in my interest to store this information. Upon verification of payment, the account is created and the password is temporarily stored in a cookie on the clients computer. The account password and keys will be displayed as long as the cookie exists.
Clearing your browser cache, using a new browser, or clicking the "Delete" button on the receipt page will destroy the ONLY existing copy of that information. No matter how much I want, if you lose your password and owner key, I will be unable to assist you in the account recovery process.
This guide by @someguy123 will give more details about the recovery process.
Thanks for your question.
Thanks the reply, what I don't understand is why SteemLiberator and AnonSteem do not support the easiest way to create a Steem Account?
I mean:
Do I miss something? Vessel claims there are services to broadcast the tx but who are the services that way to create an account?
You might be interested to know that I was the one that added almost all of that account creation code in Vessel.
SteemLiberator entire purpose is for the laymen to receive a Steem account. I am a trustworthy user in this network and I am not going to risk my reputation on doing something untoward that is obviously visible on the blockchain.
In the future I will add more features to the website. For now, I made it to solve a single purpose. If it doesn't benefit you, since you already have an account, then it isn't for you.
You could make your own accounts in Vessel without needing help from anyone else. That is the code I added. However, you must ALREADY HAVE an account with funding to do this.
SteemLiberator, as well as AnonSteem, allow users without existing accounts to immediately create them.
Either way it goes, you have to spend 6 SP or ~27 delegated SP to create an account. Therefore the account creation cost that comes to me, for hosting the server, and promotion Steeem, is 4 SP per account minus processing fees that I pay out of pocket.
By the way, Vessel is now on version 0.0.9. That screenshot appears to be from a much older version. Please upgrade. https://github.com/aaroncox/vessel/releases
Thanks for your work on Vessel, the screenshot come from
vessel-0.0.9-x86_64.AppImage.I know, I could do the "account create transaction" by myself, I just wanted to know which services are allow to broadcast that tx for people who doesn't already have a steem account.
I stand corrected. I didn't realize that section was still in there. Perhaps I could implement an advanced feature that uses this.
