I was met with so much excitement on my face just this morning when I was trying to teach a friend of mine how to register on the platform.
Last week, I tried opening an account for a friend and up till today he hasn't received the code that was meant to be sent to his phone. He became discouraged and now is no longer interested in steemit.
This morning I tried on boarding another friend, only to discover that we now have new options and I was happy. Even if it means paying 5 steem for a new account, ibwouodnt mind because I know he would make much more when he starts blogging.
This is really a good move though temporary until the next hardwork looks into the issue of delays registration.
You can also try using Steeminvite.com by @pharesim. I used it a couple of times and it works flawlessly and you don't have to pay a lot for an account at all. Just 0.1 SP and delegate as much SP as you need. After the invited person has earned rewards you can undelegate SP.
I didn't know about this. Thanks for this link!
No problem, glad to be able to help you @exyle
