Good post best regards from me@abupasi.alachy

Good informative article..

wow when you realize that you arentthe most qualified person to do all of this stuf, but you also realize that theres plenty of people like @aggroed thinking about solutions for this onboarding problem, it makes me happy, realizing that we just haveto support these steemit minions and they will slve all our problems!

Hey are you saying someone organized 40,000 accounts justto drain the free steem? cant we bring legal action to sue this person if they end up being in the US? Id love to help bring up Fraud lawsuit upon someone who is hurting steem like that! I see it as fraud!  I dont think thats what you meant by 40,000 accounts just to drain steempower, i think u meant alot of peopel just jined for the fre steem

anyway yeah its very confusing when you say we are going to mine using litecoin scriptto make coins just for account creatiion?

I wish theer was a simple explanation for how THAT works and how we can explain away the confusion of WHERE new steem comees from! like how witnesses createthe steem, and how itgets distributed to the rward pool, like where oes it coem from before ggoin to reward pool, and also ...is it true in saing we DONT mine steem the way lets say..Bitcoin is mined???we have some sort of inflationary system where every yearthe amountof steem just dubles? right? 

but we can ALSO mine it? Like it will decrease value of steem to add more steem this way...but it will alow us to get "free" steem to create account without directly draining reward pool?

is this how it works?? i assume I am wrong here, or confused, or did i get it right? isthis the difference between proof of stake an proof of work

Amazing Post. Upvoted!

Wish I could understand this, but I am new to this.  In time I may be able to wrap my head around it.  As with all things, a new user will find everything complicated until they are familiar with it.   If a new user is expected to understand things on an in-depth level from the get-go, what is being created is a technical community,  and not a general one a la FaceBook.   If you want to exclude the common person, just demand a lot of know how just to sign up.  People will stay in droves.

Thank you so much for the updates ! Thank you so much for your effort !!

This is an amazing plan ...
good work...
I @alanmirza support it

**good luck friends ... **

I agree with you on this one, Joe the plumber will have difficulties and will be a powerless individum on the system compared to a godlike creature of a user who knows linux and has pc power. Maybe a part of the contribution rewards can go into the token pool, let's say 3%.

It is also sad that you have 108 votes as I write this comment and only 35 views. Most hunt the best posts without reading them. That would be a nice feature for a hf20, to get only 5% of contribution rewards when the post is not read.

First, I'm **sorry for the ramble**, but yall on one of my favorite subject here.

This is a very insightful post. And I agree. The learning curve on Steemit is hard enough as it is. I, myself, have dealt with the learning curve by spending many hours on the site and many hours on Google and just researching, reading posts about Steemit-related topics, commenting, replying, upvoting, resteeming, asking questions, answering questions, just engaging. I have also studied Markdown and ways to format in GitHub, which is not easy for the average person. I have an HTML background so it comes pretty easy to me, but to others, I can see where it would be a problem.

As far as mining, I would be willing to buckle down and learn whatever it is to learn so that I could do that and/or be a witness. But, most people are not inclined to do that and would not be able to if they were inclined, simply because they are not technologically inclined. 

It is important that the capitalist culture on the site is relaxed, or else Steemit will not last, at least as it is intended to with the monetization concept. People will not stay and the masses are what keeps the ball rolling and not only the elite few by themselves. If I go from 0 to 200,000 SP on this site, it was because of the upvotes of the thousands of small fish in this sea. If not for them, I would not have gotten to 200,000 SP and if they leave, then they take their combined voting and curation power with them.

This reminds me of that scene in _The Ten Commandments_ when Charleston Heston's character, Moses, told Pharaoh (when Ramses wanted to make the slaves work 7 days a week with very little food and water), but he told Pharaoh that the slaves need at least one day off and enough food and water everyday because weak slaves make few bricks and the dead make none to build the city. Well, it's the same concept here. Let the little fish have some sustenance and some success so that the city (Steemit) can be built, and the wealth of the big fish can be sustained by letting small and medium fish have some of it. It is not right for a few people to continue day after day pocketing all the Steem on the site while others have little to nothing, particularly those who are genuinely interested in the concept of Steemit and who consistently put out quality content.

I agree with allowing the balance of power with these tokens to be in the hands of a few thousand smaller fish in the community, but I do also believe that this should be closely monitored to prevent exploitation.

Just my 2 cents...

Congratulations @aggroed!

Joe the Plumber is here!... i mean - Mac the Painter :)

I would be ok with mining, but not if scrypt is the PoW - it would have to be something with no ASICs. Cryptonight or something else where not even GPUs have a significant edge. Aloo (f it's even possible) pooling would have to be disallowed. And the tokens would have to be only good for creating am account and non-transferrable. Basically, CPU mineable without any way that it could benefit botnets. That being said, for acquisition of a stake in a DAC like this one, I don't think that $5 is a substantial minimum barrier, especially of there was a category/app/something that the accountless folk who can't afford $5 could use to petition for a sponsor. Given that we are faced with the delicate question of how to increase adoption by two orders of magnitide without a comlarable reduction in quality of content (like reddit suffered when Digg imploded) we must proceed with caution.

hello friends please upvote this comment and follow me I will follow you back :)

I am new to Steemit and I think it was for me a different platform from all other social media pages. I think Steemit is very attractive to many people because they come to earn. Tokens? I do not  think will be so attractive as just getting the Steem. I would appreciate more having official videos about the site to understand what to do and where everything is. By the way, Steemit is a great idea. Congratulations to all of you are doing the site to work and the minds behind this site. And for sure, I am going to try to bring all my friends here.

Bringing in new users who are completely new to crypto will be EXTREMELY difficult with such conditions. I'm a little worried.. hopefully they do a more noobie friendly update.

They just want new users or someone to pay for new accounts, so just charge for  new accounts. Mining is just a way of paying for accounts with electricity so just make multiple ways to pay for a new account including possibly some traditional ways.
