After contacting one of my local food charities in an attempt to convince them to join Steem and accept STEEM/SBD for donations it hit me...
The design of STEEM requires new accounts to not only be paid for with a gas tax, but also requires enough SP either given or delegated for the account to have any bandwidth and thus be able to post, reply, and engage otherwise! This leads to the signup delay we see! I already have discussed in previous posts about the big blockade for creating new accounts being the biggest obstacle for Steem to overcome!
So my solution to at least get the people that I know should be on ASAP, is I have begun personally paying for new accounts for people and charities that I know will take this serious and add value to the overall community!
I will be creating new accounts for selected charities and people who deserve a timely account using @deejcharitytrust!
If you would like to help please follow @deejcharitytrust and if you can, consider donating STEEM/SBD to @deejcharitytrust to help fund new account creation (Remember it costs around 5 SP to create and delegate enough to a new account to get someone started)!
My goal is to help get good steemians on board and not have them wait days or even weeks to be approved by steemit!
Thank you all for your time!
wow.. great idea.. perfect platform for philanthropic endeavors.. but what is surprising to me is the 15 views this post has with 707 up-votes.
I of course have done the needfull and re steemed etc.
Check out @shadowbot and you will understand more. We are a community that works together to "learn and earn"! Thank you for the out reach and support! Be sure to follow @deejcharitytrust as that is where all the charity will come from now on from me! I will simply make my personal donations there and use the funds as needed for new accounts and supporting charities on steem!
Well done, deej... you are really big! ;)
Thank you!
Thank you for your support! Making Steem #1 is my goal!
I have a friend who I preached Steemit to. He decided to join but for 3 weeks now, his account is still yet to be approved. I know it will be approved someday but this is not something that anyone should experience. It's very discouraging. Therefore God bless you @bigdeej for offering to help others to be free from such a trauma. You are a rare gem
Thank you for your support! Every great steemian helps in their own way! I found convincing someone to join was hard enough already, then them having to wait over a month potentially to begin was not going to work! So REAL people and REAL charities that I support will be my focus! Thank you for the kind words and support! Be sure to follow @deejcharitytrust if you have not already!
This is great, I'll try to donate something the next time I have a spare 5 steem. I wish you all the best with it!
Every little scrape adds up, I will personally be donating to this fund and all the rewards generated by that fund will be used to support new members! Thanks for being a sponsor!
