That solution is “light accounts” and it is our hope that the community, and the Witnesses they elect, will consider this feature for inclusion in the SMT hardfork.
Could you be specific please.
Does this mean HF21?
If you are serious and have or will have the code ready for testing and approveal by witnesses in the next couple of weeks-ish (maybe less) please let us know or we will likely have to just consider this something for 2020 or 2021... because the next hardfork after this one is likely not gonna arrive until 2020 and that's not a good enough solution for @steempeak in my opinion.
We were about to start down another road but we like this decentralized option better.
WHAT EXACTLY WILL A LIGHT ACCOUNT DO?
You were pretty vague on what a light account can do.
Even a short list would be nice.
- Comment?
- Send receive money?
- Create JSONS (thus handle many types of apps)
- I assume probably not stake steem for Steem Power and vote.
- I also assume probably not create posts but seems like Comments would be important... but technically the two things are pretty similar.
We will get those details in deep dive posts I believe
You just planted 0.07 tree(s)!
Thanks to @ucukertz
We have planted already
7653.38 trees
out of 1,000,000
Let's save and restore Abongphen Highland Forest
in Cameroonian village Kedjom-Keku!
Plant trees with @treeplanter and get paid for it!
My Steem Power = 25086.80
Thanks a lot!

Might want to get that code ready, hf22 is likely quick on its heels if this one screws the pooch.
It might work, but every fork since dan was ousted has been worse than the one before it.
I estimate 2 more months of testing and deliberating on this one.
Then 1 more month at best to get the next testnet even close to ready... probably 2... and if we're lucky 2-3 months of testing the next hard fork. That puts us pretty well into 2020 ... and that's if things go well.
I hope I'm wrong because sadly the light accounts are really needed soon and I would love to see them put into this hard fork with the assumption they're very limited accounts anyway and probably mostly just addresses to send money to etc. But then again if they don't enable an account to make comments then I guess we may not need them that much anyway.
At this point, what harm in approving accounts wholesale?
Stinc has failed miserably at keeping abusers from getting accounts.
I remember seeing they approved abusername 1 through 150, all in the same day.
Now they can just pull the delegation, then those accounts got 15steem.
What, exactly, keeps stinc from enabling immediate accounts like the one I got for giving up a reddit account tied to me?
Incompetance, obstinancy, what?
Found some references to "Lite accounts" on github but I am not the most adept at reading programmer as @asgarth tends to communicate things very well

I'm not set up at the moment to learn to navigate the code, but that won't always be the case.
