He has glaucoma and dementia but he is still with his "hefty unmet dreams" and his character is huge too and if the room is upstairs, he will certainly attempt to move and take those stairs. communities as soon as soon. Please bear with me!
Been busy looking for the right kind of house to rent that will fit my dad when he arrives, which has been hard.
He is big and ill and he will need space and a tall ceiling too. If it's a duplex, "rooms" have to exist downstairs.
He has glacouma and dementia but he is still with his "hefty unmet dreams" and his character is huge too and if the room is upstairs, he will certainly attempt to move and take those stairs.
"May he not hit stuff"; so finding just the right house has been harder.
I will resume fuller steemit activity though and should be back on whatsapp communities etc in the coming days after i repair my fone.
In the meantime, i am most reachable here.
More Update
Will be working on creating new steemit accounts in the meantime, using steeminvite. "As many as possible!"
I have already started sending invites but mostly to people i know or to people who have been referred to me. Currently, i have a list of emails and i have started sending invites to this list.
There is a well written tutorial on how to use steeminvite to help with account opening here!
Prior to now, i used to give out gifts of steem for some users who have experienced delays with sign-ups, so that they can open accounts using anonsteem, if they so desire but this is after explaining "the advantages of waiting to sign-up using the conventional steemit sign-up".
One powerful feature steemit has that's special as its a rarity in the crypto-environment is "account recovery". Even in cases where an account is compromised, its original owner has a chance of recovering such account within 30 days, especially, if he still has a hold of the original "recent password" and access to email used during account-creation.
@blocktrades has provisions for that as well with their account-creation process, if you are signed up with them. @anonsteem may too but i am not very sure, thus, i like to admonish people using @anonsteem to keep even "the first generated password" provided them by @anonsteem. Ofcourse, you will need to have changed that password to a steemit generated password and save that specially.
Overall, it is very essential to try to keep existing passwords safe! Apply best practices online so as not to lose original password and perhaps, using the other steemit keys for log-ins instead of the "original password", while keeping the "original password" as safe as possible.
Prayer is also essential as nothing is really ever totally safe in an imperfect world
Well, i am currently helping as many new signups as i can, sign up. I am trying steeminvite as well, now. This requires a delegation on my part but moreso, "education" involving instilling in these new steemians, the culture of powering up too.
Ofcourse powering-up is optional but especially with newer accounts, with still "limited Steem power", the first aim should be to power up to avail of sufficient bandwidth to interact with the steem blockchain, in transactions like upvotes, comments, transfers etc
The number of prospective sign-ups to steemit is increasing drastically, thus, the additional need to help more extensively where possible. Note that: steemit is working on a fix, that will improved the sign-up process. I have confirmed this in a recent chat and we all know of Hardfork 20, that has improved "Velocity" in its pipeline.
It is essential to recall that the manual verification method currently involved in steemit-account-opening while looking like a setback has its positives.
In the past, steemit used to give gifts of SP to new users but it turned out that users could sign up just to get gifts of SP and beyond that could create a bulk number of account to cash out hundreds of dollars worth of steem etc. Too, impersonation was easier! These things have "cost", not only in terms of lost monetary value but also in terms of lost bandwidth as bandwidth is directly proportional to steem power
Much of this lost gifts-of-SP was from the steemit account as well, much of which can have been used for further steemit-development-expenses etc
Bandwidth is what allows us to transact on the blockchain for free. So anything to help curb its loss was important.
Then, a hardfork happened that allowed the "delegation" feature, allowing the steemit main account to be able to delegate Steem Power to new accounts, till these accounts can grow enough Steem power to be able interact with the steem blockchain on their own.
But even at this, i perceive that a "manual verification method" is still essential during sign-up as even with "delegation", bandwidth that may have done more good in the hands of real verified users, can be "lost" to dormant or perhaps masses of bots.
Again, the number of users is growing drastically and this is ever more evident. More recently, an entire class wants to join steemit and their teacher is passionate about making this happen but there have been delays in their sign-ups. At first, i was open to giving them gifts-of-steem to enable them open accounts using other means (e.g @anonsteem), according to their desires as i prefer that but i am thinking of numbers more who may now be desiring to open their steemit accounts too and who have not been able to successfully sign-up using "steemit"
Hahaha, you will notice, that i will only do this to verified people too!
So here:
Upon sending the "steem invite", in the "default message" sent to them, i will invite them also to show me their introductory post and i will look to encourage it by curation.
Upon encouraging them to start their steemit journey by powering-up, i will be looking to support their posts enough for them to attain 15 SP within a short span of time, so i can also remove "delegation", to use for others.
My vote will also constitute inspiration and depending on how the new steemian sees it, "lasting incessant inspiration", for them to start and continue on an exciting steemit journey.
But there is more.....
I also do something that may interest you and perhaps you can enjoy doing it too. Let me show you below:
So, if you didn't already know, you can powerup the account of any steemian directly, using some of your liquid steem. So incase, you find someone with bandwidth problem, while you can tell to them wait a bit for their bandwidth to recover, you can send them gifts-of-steem, in the form of direct power-ups. (steem power).
It is fun!
The steemgigs interfaces will have steemgiggers who may decide to receive payments in the form of Steem power.
Basically, i have sent out invites to some verified emails and i await them to click on the invite to complete the process of account creation. Again, there is a post by @jassennessaj here!
With steem invite, you won't need to hold any passwords as these actions will only be seen and carried out by the invitee. For the most part, you will simply be sending "an email" courtesy of the steeminvite interface with steem-account-signup URL.
If you want to go the route of opening a steemit account for a verified friend who has experienced much delays with sign-up even after multiple attempts and you want to go the route of steeminvite after understanding it fully, i am currently most reachable here.
