Is it essential to give new users some SP? Could it be allocated once they have performed some specific tasks, e.g. post, comment, fill in profile. Of course those could be spoofed by a bot too. I can see the current scheme would not scale if there was a flood of new users as Mastodon is getting. They got some media coverage and have gone from 50k to 400k users in about a week.
I'm interested to see what suggestions the community comes up with for you.
This is something we're working on.
The onboarding needs to be designed both to let us scale and secure the network against attack... think about it. Usernames on Steem are super valuable. They are attached to a single key, and this could be easily abused.
Not to mention that it IS essential to give users some SP. We're working on it, but this is a tricky problem. It's very specific to blockchains, go figure!
Once we get past this, a lot of paths widen by a mile.
Lots of challenges. I think people need to give you time to get the pieces in place, but keep on updating us with news as you get it. We've been a bit starved in the past and then people tend to speculate. Good luck
Thanks, I'll do what I can. :)
Did the new account fee drop after HF18 like it was supposed to?
