To bypass this, you sign up for your friend on steemconnect so won't be stuck in probation mode...thats what I hear and tried. Paid 15 steem for friend and get to have 15 steem in their wallet to start out. Also takes 7 days, too to see rewards as well. So get active and contribute to make a better community. Wanted to help out some of my friends get onto steemit and show the results of crypto has impact in many of our communities in tech and more!
When do new accounts get rewarded?
Thats definitely a possibility. That topic can be a little bit confusing for new steemians. Basically after 7days were all fine :)
