RE: Significant Problems With Free Account Creation On Multiple Hive Dapps

[skiptvads]

I have to agree the onboarding process is not that easy to work with and probably the first problem a new user could face, I have use Ecency and D.buzz in the past without problems but it does limit the amount of account by phone and ip, Ecency even recognize some IPs as "low reputation" wtf imagine that for a new user, this has to be work out some how, I know Inleo have been working on this the most so probably create a thread on inleo tagging @khaleelkazi using the #feedback, he has mention how he is always monitoring that hashtag 👍

Using IP tracking is not an option I would advise, for several reasons:

• Most home IP addresses change regularly, so there's a chance that people will be barred for no reason.
• As you pointed to, the use of IP firewalls is problematic in other ways.
• This approach prevents members of the same household from creating their own accounts, for no real reason.

I think we ideally need to develop the account 'incubation' idea a bit further and also to make the solution generic so that all Hive dapps can make use of it easily.

I guess some of this measures is to avoid bot accounts but there has to be an easier way, besides when someone new sees that there is an option to pay for an account to a "blockchain" project, meh might look fishy at first, just details that need to be work out
