Lol, yes well. You know me by now.
I did find it interesting that this is what was stated from @steemitblog.
https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-velocity-hardfork-hardfork-20
The primary goal of the Velocity Hardfork is to change the account creation system in order to lower costs and improve the new user onboarding process.
The Velocity Hardfork will give users the ability to create new accounts at a discounted rate, potentially without having to pay any STEEM or delegate any Steem Power in order to create the account. When creating a new account, users will be able to use RCs instead of a portion (or all) of the STEEM account creation fee.
Steem Monsters created accounts without SP delegation because ideally, HF20 should be working so SP delegation is not required. It failed with that regards, but that would mean ALL dapps will fail as well. Unless of course, SP delegation is now a requirement of HF20 for account creation.
That's a very good find and I'm happy to see your expert research come in with a very interesting piece of info that I can use on my next rant! And thank you for not fighting me on this one too, it was already stressful enough without having to fight the BEE-tle
