On the Vessel wallet I use https://steemit.com/steem-project/@jesta/vessel-007-account-creation-encrypted-memos-bittrex it costs almost 30 Steem Power to make a new account. If another wallet uses less, then it would cost less!
This Steem power is delegated indefinitely meaning every time I create an account it costs effectively 30 Steem. If I accept payment on my website I have to pay additional fees to PayPal or Stripe for accepting payment on the entire amount along with sending an email with the keys and password in addition to being available or in my case paying Michel to answer any questions. The tip helps fund time spent answering questions and potentially recovering an account while also discouraging fraudulent use. For example, if there was no fee and one wanted to create a bot network, using an account creation service could help it be done anonymously.
If you take PayPal and/or Stripe, that alone is worth $200 per account, in my opinion.
There could have been some service options here, seems like the rollout wasnt thought through all the way. Like you say, taking fiat from mainstream fintech and handholding newbies could generate an upcharge in the real world. I think its best to be upfront about cheaper options though.
Wrong, it's not delegated indefinitely. As a witness, you need to learn how Steem works.
