I responded to an important question that many have had here regarding steemit (especially here in the Philippines and developing nations in general) as to whether it is Ponzi etc and my answer was a quick impromptu free-write as seen the screenshot below:
I wanted it so, so that there is highlight to the fact that my answered was fully-felt.
Then, there were several who commented and mentioned that they have attempted to sign-up and can't get to the step involving generating their steemit password and completing sign-up. They also got a message related to "limited bandwidth exceeded" as seen in this screenshot:
So i tried to see what can be done about this and i contacted @timcliff who has been a great and caring steemit witness and he explained that steemit was working on a fix and have completed the fix.
So here is the advice:
- Please share this post to other steemians.
- If you have a friend who has had their steemit account approved and who experiences a challenge with completing sign-up still, please tell them to "try again at a later time and it will end up working as steemit is aware of the issue and have worked on it".
- Guide new sign-ups that you invite as a one major reason that they should want to join us here, is also because of you and your being here.
- You can also bring these issues to me so we can work on a fix. You can do so by leaving me a comment.
Quick Update On Un-delegation With Newer Accounts
Speaking with @timcliff, we also discussed this aspect as i felt it may be tied to the above challenge with new sign-ups.
Note that in the past, steemit used to give away free SP to new accounts to start them up with their steemit journey but this became less feasible as many new accounts were created simply to get this free SP.
At the time, completing sign-ups on https://steemit.com was almost instant.
Steemit then evolved into making sign-ups a manual process to curb on lost steem and then further evolved into delegating power to new accounts, so that this accounts can interact with the steem blockchain.
The essence of the delegation though, is simply so that new steemians can use this delegated SP to accomplish transactions on steem e.g posts, commenting, resteems, transfers etc until they can accrue enough Steem Power to continue on their own.
The recent un-delegation from new accounts thus, applies to accounts that have accrued enough SP to now continue on their own.
According to @timcliff, the un-delegation applied to new accounts that have already accrued greater than or equal to 15 SP.
Note that the more SP allows you more bandwidth as a protective measure (as well) to prevent things like DDOS attacks that can cause congestion on steem. Thus, for newer steemians, a nice primary aim would be to try to accrue steem power as this gives you more bandwidth allowance and allows to you to have a say in the "reward distribution".
We all have a stake in steem by virtue of our Steem Power!

awesome, i had some people signing up but they are waiting for the approval and some got error when they click the last link with password. Thanks @surpassinggoogle
Enjoy the vote and reward!
@bobiecayao. Exactly what happened to one the people i introduced but with this mail we should be able to solve the issue. The post actually at a very good time.
Wow!!! What a good news Sir! I have so many friends and relatives who are keep on waiting for the approval and they keep nagging me why their application did not approved and I was like? Nah I don't know because when I sign up then it gets me approved in the night. Now I can tell them that they can now try to sign up again because there is only error on the site but now already fixed.Thank you so much Sir for always giving a time to us, for always supporting to us.You really rock Sir !!! I salute u!!!
I can vouch for that. My officemates whom I invited got their accounts this morning. I'm very excited for them.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION SIR, A FRIEND OF THAT ONE TOO, THE SIGN UP PROCESS HAS BEEN TAKING LONGER NOW I HOPE TODAY WILL OK.
GREAT KIND OF YOU!
This is a great service and concern for the growth and stability of the platform, So I say Bravo!!
Wow, that's a great way to go, thanks for sharing this information, informing my friends right away
I have a question on undelegation of SP. The delegated SP I received was halved 2 days ago even though I have not received my first payout. Would love to know your thoughts on that.
Also, I see that the earnings on this post is striken through, I have seen this on some other posts as well. What does this mean?
hello bro. Payouts will come after 7days. Starting from the minute you made the post on Steemit. If after 7days you don't get the payout in your wallet, that means you have not claimed it. Just click on your profile, click on wallet then you see redeem rewards.
And for the cancelled payout it means the author does not want to receive reward for the post he has made. Any other questions please feel free to ask
Thanks for letting me know about these factors as it was happening with me especially Bandwidth issue was occurring severly. Thanks for highliting this important point, you made my confusions clear by saying
Means more hard work= More Sp
Let me tell my friends too about it @surpassinggoogle
Thank you for the information @surpassinggoogle.. It's very helpful.. Thank you for helping us always...
Wow, that is a good news. Thanks for always been there. You are the best
Wow!!
Thanks for helping us again.
You really have a big heart to people who are in need.
Please don't change @ surpassinggoogle.
Keep on doing what is right..
Thanks again.
This info is timely. I have some guys already who have asked questions in this regard but I told then I will get back to then. But this right here,speaks volumes.
Thanks @surpassinggoogle a lot you are a blessing to all steemians im so greatful that i am part of community.God bless you thankd also for upvote everytime i post.Thanks for sharing this post.
Wow, that's a huge relief.
no wonder, this happened to four upcoming steemians i earlier introduced to the platform, and they complained about same thing, i thought they were just pulling my legs, i will have to go to the group and tell them the signup has been rectified, thanks for this useful info sire, bless
My account is new and I also experience that but I let a day pass and I try to continue to create my account and its been approved. But I just don't know what happen. @surpassinggoogle I want to enjoy here in steemit and I really want to have a little advice from you. Thank you. :)
Well you know I promote you on every post :)
I should probably do a post in the near future of some of the things I've been able to do via steem currency, such as help pay for some recent things to help out my mom and brother with difficult arrangements. Ponzi my butt, not when i have tangible liquid assets in my hands.
I'm glad you mentioned @timcliffe, I have a question/slight concern, maybe he'll be able to answer me. Though i will pose it in chat to you first and you can tell me if I should go to him or to whom I should go.
on another note, I miss talking to you Terry, then again, I miss talking on steemit in general as it's been difficult lately. I put up a post today, you are in my dedication and I know you will be touched by the song my close friend sent me.
love you my sweet friend.
Thank you so much for this timely information. It is so much appreciated.
Right information at the right time. @surpassinggoogle is really a boss
Thank you Terry for clearing the air. There was a kind of panic when people discovered that their SP had disappeared. So from this post ,we now know what actually happened.
Yeah, truth be told, my delegated steem-power reduced drastically from 28 to 11.54 once, I was a bit confused and then some moments later I had a message saying bandwidth exceeded. But thanks to Bro. Terry for explaining the situation, I'm really glad what caused it I guess was that I actually bought steem and powered up and immediately the delegated one got reduced, but I now know the importance of having steem-power, thank you very much. I do really appreciate it.
Yes, there was a panic. I receive so many questions in the past week. Thank God the air has been cleared
Lol, for me, my rep reduced from 47 to 25. I thought I was flagged o, was kinda scared, the fear of starting again, hmmm. So, I refreshed my browser and saw my 47 back. 😁
The information you just passed across has put to rest panic in the heart of many. Thank you so much sir
You are welcome
New users from Nepal having the same problems. Use your voting and posting wisely when in a start up. Gather some SP is your first task and quality content for more exposure and earning.
Best of luck to all new commers
So on point there
You are right, but it looks like days of free SP is over, this is evident in this post which is timely. I signed up some members of CryptoSteem family and they all complained of this restriction.
I think the bitter truth is to tell them that they shoulf spend at least $50 on steem power, this will give them some kind of comfort, then reduce the glitch.
When I joined steemit, i hate the fact that i cannot give as little as 5 cents to authors that write good contents, so i had to buy $200 worth of steem and powered up.
I think we should inform intending users about this earlier, so they won't form a bad impression of this great platform when the glitch appear.
Thank you for telling us all the updates and Your permanent help for All steemians specially the new thanks @surpassinggoogle..... Resteem
He gives strength to everyone.
this explains things, i tried signing a friend up today and he got this error message, i thought there was something wrong so i made him try to sign up with another email address, he is still waiting for the approval email for the second sign up but alas i guess that wasnt neccessary. thanks for sharing this.
Likely that it's not needed
Please give him my handkerchief, it will sure come in handy.
Dear Terry Thank you for providing more details about steemit login details to newbies and compare with past steemit login details. I resteemed this post for see my followers. Steem.it is a blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can earn rewards by posting relevant content, curating quality content by upvoting and by holding Steem based currencies in a vest fund, which generates interest. I have only 04 month experience here in steemit. I've got steem power when my account registered. You gave great instructions to new users how to stay here and how to get more rewards, Appreciated work by you.
Waiting your next task and steem on...
Thank you for the support.
Stay blessed.
I'm just 3 weeks old here, my Steem power is a meagre 15 but I think I'll start powering up more often from now. Thanks to this great write ups.
Still do the post 50/50 but buy steem with sbd to get more sp
That's great idea to increase sp. 50/50 posting better task. Thanks to the advice.
Thank you very much @surpassinggoogle I'll continue doing that. I actually thought buying was not advisable, since anytime I powered up, my delegated steem-power reduced. Thanks for your tips. I'll continue doing this. Keep being an awesome human. God bless
Exactly, I have high hopes on steem.
Hey Terry, you can look at my profile :) You are good @surpassinggoogle
Yeah, you should try to increase steem power.
Great job sir, for always being there for your people, a friend of mine I introduced had similar issue of generating password, we where registering on phone, but the noment we tried PC it worked just fine.
Glad to hear. Keep up the effort
Thank you for what you do! Its a really great help to bew steemians like me who are just lost in this new environment! Educating and supporting the steemit community, you are a gift to us!
Thank you for encouraging me
My friend have had the same problem! Now I can convince him ! Thank you sir!!
Yes!
@surpassinggoogle Thank you for promoting Steemit on Facebook and for the valuable information and help you provide new members with. You have helped me personally a lot and I am more than grateful for this!
You are welcome. Glad you got some help
Thanks for the information i was confused what is happening because my Sp which is delegated by steemit is reducing day by day .
That was the same situation I faced, but thanks to @surpassinggoogle tips, he's really helped and I'm grateful for that.
I now will start investing in steem-power although I'll have to admit it is really challenging for newbies, but with Bro Terry he's getting us there.
Awesome
Thanks for being awesome Bro Terry, your tear drops token will really impart the human race in a very positive way.
Hahaha no worries. Just focus on getting more sp on your own especially now that you are new
Gonna resteem this for others to know esp. the newcomers. :) Thanks to you sir!
Nice
Please give him some @teardrops token for that.
Thank you for this. I am new and I experienced it. It was kinda frustrating but i managed to just wait till it allowed me to do and successfully signed up. I will share this to my fellow steemians.
Sweetness.
So sweet of you, hun. Thank you so much and God bless.
Thanks for the update and the free public node. I might use it.
You are welcome. Yes use it
I've been having trouble upvoting. I assume due to bandwidth issues as well.
Yes it will recover after sometime. Then focus on increasing sp. You can check bandwidth on https://steemd.com/@mysearchisover on the left side
I normally have a lot of bandwidth available. Everything else seems to work okay except upvoting. Thank you for your upvote and the imaginary teardrops.
Thank you sO much sir.
Now I can answer the questions of my new recruits.
:D
Yes!
You are very helpful @surpassinggoogle thank you for the information. I also got a message "limited bandwith exceeded" last night.
Just wait for it a bit to recover. Then reserve your activities to posts and comments and raising sp
thanks for sharing, I am really confused why my bandwidth sometimes got negative amount. i can now answer my invite's query.
Yes. It will get better as you accrue SP. Read my last post, the one before this one
ok sir. thanks much for all the help.
Thank you for the information sir :)
You are welcome
Thank you fot the information, I shall forward this article to all my fellow frens so they can be aware of it
good post
Ohh does this explain the same thing why my fri3nds never got a chance to see &save their passwords?
Thank you so much sir @surpassinggoogle your information helps a lot.
Timcliff is nice person and helped me while some of friends not approved more then week and also some of nee friends SP auto deglation and my too so i was not sure but i was thought it too but now its all clear after read your post.
Sir, my sister-in-law and sister wait their approval for 1 month. They lose hope that ine day they can join Steemit. Is it fine if they will resign up and use the same numbers? Thank you Sir. Takecare.
They can resign up and use the same number but if that same number does not work, they can use another number
@fatherfaith, thank you for your info friend.
@lebron2016. A lot is going on the platform right now and as such one should expect things like this. The platform is getting more newcomers coming in like my wife. But I think with time all this will be resolved. That is why you and I are here to make it happen.
Kindly encourage them to come and give it a try again and am sure they agree. Share your testimony with them and they will want to try again.
One love dear.
A timely update! A bunch of friends/ coworkers i invited finally had the time and willpower to sign up for Steemit! (Maybe i was also too much persistent on my invitations. Hehehe.. XD) They also asked me about that, why is taking so long for them to be signed up. Will tell show this to them early morning so they can have a heads up!
Thanks bro @surpassinggoogle, God bless us all always! :)
I thank you for this update. I was wondering if steemit has started reducing signups
Thank you @surpassinggoogle for timely information.
Right information is appreciated very much!
It helps to avoid panic in the hearts of many people.
You're such helpful @surpassinggoogle!
Beautiful information, bro. Always offering assistance. Cheers!
Thanks for the clarification on my disappearing starting steem power. I was wondering what happened to it.
Thanks for this info @surpassinggoogle. I was wandering why the delegated steem giving to me was being withdraw gradually. Now i know why i don't have it any more. Resteem so that others can be aware of this too.
@seyiodus.
helpful post.post of the day.realy thanks @surpassinggoogle
I am rather happy about the recent changes made to delegation from steem. I noticed it as well and thought “I hope someone new gets to enjoy that starting hand as much as I have.” It was a wonderful gift to have for so very long. While that does sound a little harsh for newer accounts being so limited I hope over the long term the bandwidth issues will clear up and they as well will get to enjoy the benefits of our wonderful ecosystem.
I also did some digging around and was rather thrilled as you mention people trying to abuse the free SP will also be impacted! Makes me rather disappointed when people want to abuse such a wonderful gift.
It never occurred to me that people abused this privilege until i read this post. But then, i think undelegated steem is the way to go.
That's cool...
Now grab some @teardrops token.
winks
I have this to say about you and am doing it intentionally and consciously and that is fact that no one can understand you due to your unique way of responding to life. My mentor said"you have only one shot at life so live it well". And that is exactly what you are doing and keep it up.
This information will really help. My wife has finally decided to join us on steemit. Though she has been waiting for approval for some days now and her password has not been given. So I think the information on this post will go a long way to help in resolving that.
Thank you and keep making impact.
Thanks for a very quick and valuable information on un-delegation of SP. I have noticed same issue here in PAKISTAN and almost 50 people around me who recently join steemit are facing this issue continuously, which created a hopeless atmosphere here. Although I am motivating them and sime of them are fine now but this post will really helpful for all over the world for steemians. Please keep us updating on this serious issue. Also thanks to @timcliff for the update on the issue.
Thanks @surpassinggoogle for your great and unconditional efforts and support for the Community. All the best and Stay Blessed!
@surpassinggoogle...hey bro New users from india also having the same problems. Use your voting and posting wisely when in a start up. Gather some SP is your first task and quality content for more exposure and earning.
Best of luck to all new commers..new users dint know about the voting power and also how to upvote good content and earn a curation rewards...
Enjoy the vote and reward!
Thanks boss for this. You hit the nail on the head. I think many people that have one issue or the other will have their problem solve now.
I've already resteemed this post. Will also share it with my fellow #AbujaSteemians and the #nigeria community at large.
Thanks @surpassinggoogle for always trying to find solutions to our problems
Thanks for always been there
Nice one, that is the right thing for us to do.
Thank you for sharing this information! Resteemed!
Thank you for the updating @surpassinggoogle. Oh sadness news you posted un-delegation SP to new accounts. Anyway hopefully wait anything will better. Resteemed your post
