Account creation seems very easy and totally free these days. Thanks in part to what @hiveonboard was able to do, we've integrated it into PeakD.com and have had hundreds of people use it without issue. Maybe it won't scale to millions but that's not an issue we have presently.
And then there are some tools that help with auto delegations to those you help onboard ... peakd will be integrating that for people that jump in as well, making it so they don't have to worry about RC issues. And then next HF the RC pools will eventually make that need unnecessary in the future which will also be great.
So from where i sit getting people accounts is no longer much of an issue for us.
It needs to be easy and free so that we can onboard millions of users, hundreds of millions of users, a billion users.
The only reason we have the system we have now is because Ned Scott Panicked. It was intended to be free for users to sign up, but someone came up with the idea that new accounts needed to cost 3 coins burned as a blockchain creation taxation. Then they came up with a compensation, you know... those free accounts we can "RC-Mine" in such a small amount of accounts that it is not worth it to marketing. Your site would run out of accounts in a matter of hours or minutes running twitter or google ads and similar.
What we need is the main account creation system to be zero coin cost as originally intended so we can target and onboard large amounts of users.
It is a numbers game, for every 1000 new user we get 1 new investor
Technically, it is currently not possible to onboard millions or billions of users on a blockchain. Blockchain space is super expensive. But it is possible to onboard professional crypto-inclined content creators who enjoy the benefits of crypto and censorship-resistance.
I am super bored of hearing "it is not possible". Of course it is possible.
