New Top-level Steem menu on BlockTrades web site
The observant user of BlockTrades may have recently noticed a new top-level menu on our site called Steem. Under this menu are three new options:
- Buy Steem Account
- Buy Steem Power
- Buy Steem Delegation
The latter two menu options are simply shortcuts for first-time users that set up the coin selectors on the Quick Trade page to buy either steem power or a steem power delegation. Until today, the first link just took the user to an “Exchange temporarily unavailable” page because we were still doing last minute work on our new account creation feature.
New Steem accounts now available for sale on BlockTrades
But we are happy to announce the feature is now live on the site, and users can purchase new Steem accounts with different cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, bitshares, bitusd, bitcny, biteur, dash, doge, ethereum, litecoin, steem, and SBD.
Simplifies Steem purchases for first-time Steem buyers
Several services already exist for creating steem accounts, of course, but the focus of our service is on enabling new Steem users to rapidly buy an account and get some Steem in one easy step. During the account creation process, our site tells the user the minimum amount to pay to buy the account (the equivalent of 7 Steem as of this post, most of which ends up as Steem Power in the new account). Any additional funds sent to the deposit address beyond the minimum amount will automatically be used to purchase Steem for the new account.
Optional backup service to protect against password loss
We expect many users of our Steem account creation service to be relatively inexperienced in cryptocurrency management. Users of traditional centralized services have been trained to expect that they can always regain control of their account if they lose their password. Despite numerous warnings, new users do occasionally lose their passwords, resulting in a total loss of the funds in their Steem account. To better support these users, we’re offering an optional backup service where we keep their password on our secure server. Users can subscribe to our optional backup service by clicking a check box during account creation, whereupon our site will display additional warnings associated with use of our backup service.
We don’t charge any additional fee for the optional backup service, so we don’t make any guarantee that we will be able to recover a user’s password in the event of loss and we specifically disclaim any associated liability, but in practice we believe it will provide an extra safety net for new users who take advantage of the service.

There MUST be an easier way to buy Steem! Steemit cryptocurrency money exchanges
Rather than go through one or more third parties, why not buy Steem from Steemit.com, or Steem.com? Am I making any sense here??? Or am I being too simplistic here? Am I being an idiot for stating the obvious??
Buying through third parties is very discouraging and suspicious to most normal people.
The steem eco system could very easily set up there own e-commerce payment gateway. Why don't they?
Perhaps tere is strategic brand marketng reason to sell steem through third-party exchanges, istead of diect to customers..
Interesting concept.
For buy steem account how many amount need to send? @blocktrades
Yes the learning and earning potential are limitless
Thank you
That was one of the hardest things to figure out when I first joined Steem and it is discouraging to see $0.01 earnings on your post or nothing at all for your first few posts perhaps this will help overcome that.
Looks like I joined STEEMIT two weeks too late...!
Same here lol
Unlikely! Stick with it and you'll see the same said next year!
Hello,
Could you explain why you think you were here two weeks too late ?
Maybe I just need a coffee or so ^^
The prices have gone up. Now steem and SBD cost more.
Ok ! Good to know :o) Thanks!
Yep :-(
I got steem and forgot about it for a while, life happened, until 8 months later. Like very recently, when I came across a bookmark on my phone. Yippee, I have something. I looked and wow, Value went up, big-time. But for all newbies and crypto in general, you should never perceive this as a get rich quick scheme, and sure some people do get lucky. Some. Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity. That kind of luck takes a little prep work. Good luck.
me too:)
you are still lucky whereas I recently joined in this steemit.
How sad his newly joined and I don't understand how to play this steemit.
It is interesting that when the price shoots up, then people get much more conservative with their likes (except bots, lol). I think that it is OK, because it forces content creators to improve the quality of posts.
As Steemit becomes a contender with some of the more mainstream social content sites, we will hopefully see some of this become more intuitive.
hahah so true i have no clue
agreed ...that is the most dispiriting thing about Steem
You are right on it. I still not sure how everything works :) Anyway I think Steemit will become large crypto news platform with nice lifestyle section .
Hi @blocktrades

@blocktrades - Wow - this preloaded account is almost like a preloaded gift card. Saves a lot of hassel for new comers who wish to join. Great development. Please keep up the good work. Upvoted full

True, New user here. I have found it to be quite simple, did my first deposit from my Bitcoin.
When you say most of it goes to Steem power, out of the 7 Steem (at current prices it’s 19 dollars) how much exactly?
We charge 1 steem, 6 steem goes to steem power.
Great thanks.
I should totally create a preloaded account for my brother. He isn't very savvy with most technical things...but he can definitely figure out blogging...once I get the ball rolling! <3
Great planning. Get on the steem train!
Great news
How can a STEEM account be sold?
Once its master password is known, it can never be safely owned by another person.

STEEM is my favorite crypto by far. What other crypto pays you dividends just for talking to cool people?
Foreign STEEM forks? xD
(I think BAT is also giving content creators BAT to give out to youtube/twitch viewers? I don't remember clearly)
Loving the new "buy steem accounts" feature! I assume this puts AnonSteem out of business?
Well, I'm not so sure about that, I think we're aimed at different market. I always considered anonsteem a way to get an anonymous account. We are focused on easing onboarding of relative newbies.
But I assume your service is potentially as anonymous as the payment method, right?
realy great service for us.thanks @blocktrades
You guys are doing cool shit for the block. Thanks for making this!
A magnificent service because humans are still behind accounts and they sometimes forget, misplace, or lose their passwords so a backup server for lost passwords is sensible.
Anyway there is a risk to anything so its still cool. Also buying a delegation and account creation service really will get patronized by people because it is easy on the @blocktrades way
That makes it super easy. fairly priced too, especially if paying with Steem (fee is only 1 Steem).
It is amazing to see how fast we are growing, and all new opportunties!!
this is really great because alot of people cant get their account fast enough this will completely make things easier
I really like the option to buy New Steem Account loaded with STEEM.
It is a perfect gift idea for upcoming Christmas season ! 🌠🌠🌠
God job @blocktrades 👍
Thats good, i will buy some
This comes really convenient!
@blocktrades Thats great!
Account creation still a slow process! This will make things a lot easier for new users.
If you are thinking of getting Steem delegation, do it now whilst SBD is flying. Great deal and the power that you get from just a few SBD is a worthy investment into future SBD creation.
Please follow me
This is really motivational step for the new user of the steemit family
steemit rocks
Nice lesson! Thanks for sharing this among the steemians. I follow and upvote you. Pls do same for me.
It has to go really fast. Look where it is 6 hpurs later 📈 🚀🚀🚀
This article will help all steemains earn some good money every month...
Wow Blocktrades never ceases to amaze me for being advocates of Steemit. Very cool onramp for new users! Thanks for pointing it out.
Thats a good service to offer. What is the cost though? i am going to check it out now.
whats the difference with just buying steem and transfer it to your wallet in your account
Interesting. I tried blocktrades,to buy some steempower it s great!! I'll check out this new offer for sure.
blocktrades is the quickest and the most convenient way to buy and sell steem, sbd and btc. Thanks for your good service @blocktrades
The delegation should be available for one week. @blocktrades
Looks interseting can't wait to use the service :D
This is brilliant! Congratulations on the release.
I've just told a few friends about it, so maybe they'll join. :-D
Good work. :)
This is actually a great idea. I know a lot of newbies who would love to key into this.
This is really coming in handy. I am super excited about this. Nice job @blocktrades for really trying to make things easier for the newbiews and even the oldies who are not doing well with their accounts. At least, empowering people will be much more easier.
I need 20 accounts please.
Wao really great that would make things much easier. Anxious to prove it.
its a great news for me and i decide to purchase steem power very soon ,it will help many peoples ,thanks for it
