RE: Smart Media Tokens And Steem Hardfork Are A Sleeping Giant
having gone through the arduous sign-up process myself, i found it too long. i initially thought it was just on my end.
i'm curious as to the account approval process.. who approves the new accounts? is it a collaborative vote of the witnesses?
There is a shortcut using anon.steem, i waited 2 weeks on one account, and it still has been approved, took me 3 minutes to make this one.
thanks for the information.. aren't steemit accounts free? why do they charge fees for it?
Check out this post too :)

that delegated option is cool.. sponsored accounts is more like it.
thanks @cardboard! more learnings.
No, a Steem account is not really "free". Each account need to pay a fee to buy some bandwidth, but this money goes to the newly created account as Steem Power. So someone need to pay for it.
I think I read the other that Steemit has hired to people to manually approce the accounts faster than they did before. Not sure how that works exactly but they thry to get faster.
