RE: TimCliff Witness Update 2017-08-03
When a new account is created, the blockchain requires SP to fund the new account. The person creating the account has to supply the SP. Currently it takes 6 STEEM.
Oh wow, ok and the witnesses pay it for the people?
No. When users sign up via Steemit.com, Steemit, Inc. pays the account creation fee for those users.
