Daniel,
I've noticed that new users are having a harder challenge than ever earning rewards and are in desperate need of @dustsweeper 's help.
Since new accounts have no STEEM they can't order the product through the steemit funds transfer.
I looked at three new accounts this morning. Each of the accounts had a dozen posts with votes, but they had earned no STEEM.
I wanted to suggest your service. But they had no STEEM to give you.
These new accounts are going to leave the platform because of a poor design.
So, I was thinking this morning: It would be wonderful if new users could buy Dusty's services through paypal.
For example, they could send $5.00 to a paypal.me account. They would start getting their dusty upvotes as if they paid with SBD. (maybe a little bit more as SBDs ain't worth what they used to be).
I realize that this means that you would have to sully your hands with US dollars, but it would be for the benefit of new users and the SteemIt community.
Hi Yintercept, sorry for the delay.
Thank you for the suggestion. It would open up for new ways to accept payments, but I'm not sure it is something we would like to try out anytime soon. I'm thinking, why wouldn't they be able to buy steem and then transfer it to their account? I'm not up to speed on the latest, but I'm sure there are easy ways to do that.
