#onboarding

Steemit, Steemmonsters, and Partiko are maxed out on account claims

Welcome to Saturday on Steem, where your feed is quiet and your VP can recharge nicely. It's a pity that there are likely new members waiting for an account to start out on Steem.

_source

@paulag has just posted stating that Steemit Inc are again behind with account creations, and the issue is that they are very low on tokens to create these new accounts with.

If we enter a bull market and this is the current situation where the chief account issuer is maxed out of account tokens to create accounts from, I will consider this part of the most recent fork a total failure.

Below is a table showing the top 20 or so 'account claimers', and how many accounts they have created from these claims so far, with a percentage claims/creates in the end column.

Account | Claimed | Created | %

| - | - | - steem | 114191 | 111924 | 98.01% smartsteem | 40997 | 17 | 0.04% utopian-io | 30905 | 114 | 0.37% blocktrades | 21656 | 4260 | 19.67% appreciator | 21530 | 0 | 0.00% ocdb | 21200 | 0 | 0.00%

steemhunt | 19540 | 2703 | 13.83% buildawhale | 18798 | 0 | 0.00% oracle-d | 18455 | 2610 | 14.14% steempress-io | 11881 | 7 | 0.06% rocky1 | 10917 | 1 | 0.01% tasteem | 10185 | 37 | 0.36% fundition | 9723 | 67 | 0.69% postpromoter | 9677 | 529 | 5.47% esteemapp | 6629 | 3 | 0.05% theycallmedan | 6628 | 16 | 0.24% booster | 6371 | 238 | 3.74% upme | 5161 | 212 | 4.11% upmyvote | 4961 | 505 | 10.18% tipu | 4840 | 6 | 0.12% actifit | 3988 | 115 | 2.88%

Steem are the biggest claimers, and are also almost at capacity with 98% of these accounts taken. However, they could go an account claim token spree as they have plenty of RCs in the tank - maybe this isn't the reason for the delay in account creations via this account.

@steemhunt are going OK, along with @blocktrades, and @oracle-d. And that is about it as far as the top 20 claimers are concerned.

@upmyvote looks like it's doing OK, until you check and find 'bot1 - bot500' as the account names, sigh.

I know @ocd plan to feed into @steemonboarding and so at least they have something in the works there.

@steempress-io looks hugely untapped, I hope they can get that moving along.

@buildawhale and @appreciator.... any plans?

And then we skip a few rows down the list of creators to these guys:

Account | Claimed | Created | %

| - | - | - steemmonsters | 2889 | 2689 | 93.08% partiko | 2264 | 2264 | 100.00%

Seems clear to me that these accounts are also in dire need of account claim tokens to on-board users at the rate that they are wanting to get through the door, via these apps.

The problem is though that at present, it is not possible to transfer these tokens to other accounts. It could be that the owner of @buildawhale is a fan of @partiko or @steemmonsters and would like to provide them with 5000 account creation tokens, but the process to do that is not in place.

Not everyone is going to be an on-boarding gateway (like myself), and so we need an easy way to pass on our account claim tokens to the apps we want to support.

At this point, it does look like a market will form around these tokens - I had hoped the best on-boarding apps would be given them as a show of appreciation from the community.

Anyway, something needs to happen to get these tokens moved (for free or otherwise) to the right places. Is this a job only Steemit Inc can do?

Happy Saturday all

Cheers

Asher

Victims of their own success perhaps? However, I think both @partiko and @steemmonsters will do fine as they also found ways to generate revenue. They could use it to burn 3 Steem for more accounts which could help demand and price!

I have been trying to get folks at my shop to give it a go. For some folks, I have created the accounts for them but sometimes they take it into their own hands and go through steemit.com. I had a customer and a cosplayer I met at a show recently join and it took almost 2 weeks to get approved. So far, neither of them have done anything as the allure seems to have faded. That is a major issue. The fact that if someone does want to sign up, they have to wait weeks. We will not grow and prosper if this is what is the norm.
@hungryharish(67)· 2640d
The front ends are really awesome way as they instantly give account unlike steemit where it takes weeks. I got many friends onboard easily by @partiko .

@abh12345, It sounds really awkward that the main Account is lacking. But whatever it is, it's the current reality and hope that it will recover soon and keeping future in mind Community can come up with some different solutions to this issue.

You must be a mind reader @abh12345. Only yesterday the account creation tool on steemworld caught my eye and I thought "I wonder how much RC it takes to claim an account these days. Asher's not posted about that for a while".

Not that you mentioned how many RCs it takes but it was close. I'm assuming it's still way out of my league?
@abduljalil.mbo(65)· 2641d
Nice post @abh12345
@preparedwombat(79)· 2641d
@partiko and @steemmonsters are doing a great job of onboarding. I’ve got a whopping 14 claimed tickets, just waiting to be able to do something with them. Might as well just keep claiming for now.
@rishi556(72)· 2641d
I've got plans with @giftgiver once we reach a level of SP to be able to do it. How much do we need? Like 5k for 1 claim every 5 days?

So then maybe it would be good if @vandeberg or the other devs were able to give us an idea of how hard or how long it would take to code this seemingly simple task. Transfer account creation tokens between accounts.

Wow great post! I had no idea these were a thing. I had created a second account through @anonsteem and knew that there were some mechanism in place for others to create accounts, but yeah, this is a lot of fresh info for me with foreign terms.
@phoenixwren(73)· 2641d
WOW those are some pretty shocking figures. I agree, there really needs to be a way to transfer tokens!! I also wish we could slowly create a token ourselves - like, my account isn't big enough to create a token as it stands, but if I could dedicate 75% of my RCs to build up a token over a number of days and just use what's left for my posting and voting, I would do that (because who uses all their RCs? Not me).
@maxwellmarcusart(80)· 2641d
Well what ever happens, no matter the changes, steem will always wanna take the largest share although to me the percentage of account created by others is very small compared to that of steemt inc.
@steevc(80)· 2641d
I've got plenty of accounts to give away. I keep claiming them. Not many takers
@revisesociology(82)· 2641d
I can't imagine creating an online market for this would be that difficult?

There is also quite a lot of untapped potential...

Side note-Partiko just informed me after weeks of silence they are in a transitional period. I railed them for the lack of communication...

@meesterboom(81)· 2641d
At least lots of accounts are joining. Then damn tokens though, being able to transfer would be good but really, onboarding has to be addressed properly I think
@markkujantunen(77)· 2641d
This is certainly a top priority.

Glad to know that many people are joining but sad to know that account creation will be slow and might turn away some peopls
