I always thought the time it took to activate your account was due to some verification process happening. It seems I was wrong...
Why does it take a week then to validate it ? I must be missing something here. I understand that you can not delegate 15 SP to every account created (the phone number is here for that), but if there is no verification, what is a delay good for ?
I hope they see it too, but I don't really know how to "call" them.
from looking at the data it 'appears' that steemit inc block approve accounts.
In the image the bar chart shows the days in may accounts were set up. other months are similar
It clearly seems that they put in place some kind of a "queue" and then massively approve accounts once in a while (always on Thursdays and Wednesdays). Maybe the team working on that only works these days of the week :D
Thanks for the picture, I have never seen it. Is it in one of your reports or is it someone else's ? I would love to keep an eye on that.
I don't understand the goal of that. If no account is refused and no verification is done, why not instantly activate accounts ? It's kinda like shooting yourself in the foot in terms of retention.
