I understand it when you talk of the joy one has after his/her account sign up has been successful. It's unspeakable joy. Realising that you've finally got approved to start making money that is worth your efforts brings overwhelming happiness. Though after this step there is a lot more to learn about steemit which involves patience and a lot of hard work.
Here in Uganda we are facing a huge challenge; accounts that have been signing up for the last 4 weeks have not been approved.. It's getting frustrating and I think your idea of using delegation will work this issue out faster.
