RE: The Beginner's Guide to Steemit, Part 2: Logging In and Keeping Your Account Safe
Wow! Well written and good explained. You know, even after spending one year at Steemit I didn't know this feature about internal/external links. Thank you, maybe it will save my account in the future.
About this:
Presently, each new account created via this sign-up process must be approved by the Steemit team manually before it becomes active. This may take 24-72 hours or more
I see a long approving as a weak point of Steem because in some cases confirmation time can be really long. For example my husband's account was approved after 3 month of awaiting and only after my ask, published in the Steemit-chat. This is not very encouraging for new users.
And the whole Steemit platform is not easy for newbies. Keep up your educational work, there are still much things that needs explanation.
Thank you for your helpful feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
Sorry to hear about your husband's account taking so long for approval. I have encountered this as well and ultimately used Steeminvite to create the account with delegation myself.
Sign-ups are one of the biggest issues that Steemit is attempting to solve right now. I think it's going to take another hard fork to accomplish from what I've heard, but we're hopeful they'll get this sorted out because it's going to be necessary for mass adoption.
I'm hoping that guides like this will continue to help people get on board despite the challenges that the platform faces right now. Thank you for your support of this post and your comment!
