What many new users of Steemit don't notice is that creating fully functional account on the https://steem.io/ blockchain isn't free. The miners need to be payed and account creation cost about $15 in total.

Not many users will open an account under these conditions so https://signup.steemit.com/ offers free account if you are prepared to pay with your mobile phone number and a two week waiting line.

If you think your mobile phone number is worth more then $15 there here are some alternatives:

  1. PS: Since SteemPower can be sold again (after a three month waiting period): When you close you account you can recoup a part of the account creation fee.

    Note that if you open the account vie Steemit the SteemPower is landed to you.

  2. Blockchain seems like a whole bunch of eternal superfluous work for no compelling gain. Can't really get past that...

  3. Kent Crispin Die Blockchain is decentralised. Even if Steemit goes bankrupt the network will probably survive.

    There are already enough independent minder and independent GUI frontends.

  4. Martin Krischik Blockchain survival does nothing to answer to the matter of no compelling gain.

  5. The prices I'm seeing are double or triple of the 15 USD you mentioned in the OP.
    The only 15 I saw, was 15 Steem, rather than USD.

  6. Filip H.F. Slagter Every service can set there own price which consists of:

    ⑴ The minimum of 15 PowerPower you need to deposit in the account.
    ⑵ The resource credits needed to create the account
    ⑶ The profit margin of the service.

    I might have underestimated the dollar value of those positions

    PS: steemconnect.com - SteemConnect opens an account fro 3 STEEM but that won't be usable until the SteemPower is deposited.

  7. Walter Roberson blockchain survival is a very compelling gain if you are a free speech advovate.

    Different strokes for different folks.
