We can already provide the RC by delegating Steem Power to accounts that play the game (which we do), and this will get much easier and more efficient with the introduction of RC delegation pools in the future.
We are also currently working on pretty much exactly what you said right now - allowing people to sign up with a regular email address and password combination and then upgrade to a "full" account by purchasing the starter set.
Very cool thanks for sharing!
Yes! I heard you talk about this on @exyle's show. It's amazing that you've built an automated system to handle the RC issue.
Would love to have the capability of signing people up with an email address/password on SteemLeo and then make it easy for them to upgrade to a "full" account in some way. i.e. using earned LEO + STEEM from commenting through an "escrow" account to create a full one. Or just giving them a free account after they've made 3 comments + prove their humanity or something along those lines.
