STEEMPEAK QUESTIONS
This is exactly the post i was hoping for and I think i understood a good chunk of it but I as well have questions perhaps some of you may have answers to.

  1. So it's still up to each interface to determine who gets a new account with this discounted account token aka "without paying" correct?
    Which is great we believe we have a great solution to the flow of incoming new accounts and were just waiting on knowing more details about this new system.

  2. However we still don't have a real world idea of how many accounts this will actually be.

  3. Is anyone other than the primary user planning on paying the fee to bring in a user that is not themselves? I assume steemit inc will not spend their steem they will only spend their RC bringing in new users. Which is totally understandable but also makes them the defacto place to go. Unless....

  4. Can you delegate your RC separately from your SP?
    Because then you could delegate to cool interfaces that have an onboarding method that you support. Correct? ;)
    I mean we're also not gonna complain if getting RC is only an act of SP but we're either out of the game of onboarding or we look for a good delagation which of course isn't a bad thing.

  5. I'd just echo the question by @ats-david and @liberost is how will Steemit INC decision to onboard new users because it will effect that cost... but also because perhaps there is a new solution that is so awesome we don't have to spend time creating something better.

  6. Can a steem user of a signup portal perhaps of @steempeak use part of their RC to submit for a discounted account?

And just FYI i (@jarvie) am not the primary tech guy at https://steempeak.com
So please pardon any lack of knowledge and i'd love to know where perhaps my thinking is still uneducated. It can be a bit daunting. haha

Sort:  
  1. Any stakeholder that has SP can theoretically use the discounted account creation system, although it is likely that only larger stakeholders will have enough RCs to be able to afford it. Anyone who is creating accounts would decide who to give them to.
  2. The number of discounted accounts that will be made available will be set by the witnesses.
  3. Lots of users pay to create accounts for their friends. There are also several other account creation services such as BlockTrades.us and AnonSteem.
  4. When you delegate SP to a user, they will receive the RCs that are associated with the delegated SP. You cannot delegate RCs independently of delegating SP.
  5. I replied to his comment with the info I have on that.
  6. I'm not sure if I understand the question. Does my response to #1 cover it?

@timcliff - I think question 6 is meant to be asking whether a site like Steempeak can add a function to their UI to create accounts on behalf of users logged in to Steempeak via Steemconnect (if the user themselves has enough RCs).

Yes, that could be done.

Just looking for a little additional insight beyond what the article stated.
But maybe i didn't some of my questions well ... very real possibility.

  1. Yep just making sure i had it correct.
  2. Ok so the answer is "we don't know and no one is going to even guess"
    Hope to hear from witnesses what their plan is then.
  3. Yeah blocktrades do not pay for other people's accounts... they get paid to create accounts.
    So it still remains either a user or their friend will pay for their account and now their will be less incentive because they won't see the 3sp in the account.
  4. Thanks for the clarification. That's gonna be a tough one. But i understand the reasoning perfectly.
  5. I'll keep an eye out their if anyone has any more definitive insights what steemit inc may do.
  6. Can a user pay for an account creation of a new user with their available RC?
    Or does it have to come from the sign up portal itself that is implementing the code?

For 6 any user can, provided they have enough RCs.
