RE: Solving the Scalability Issue for Account Creation - no more HP delegations required

I wonder what thoughts @howo might have about this.

And could this approach also be used to remove the need to delegate HP to newly created accounts?

Sort:  

I think this is a great idea ! It doesn't remove the need to delegate hp to newly created accounts though, because they will very quickly lack RC to do anything. A good rule of thumb is you need 15 sp to interact at a basic level with the chain.

And could this approach also be used to remove the need to delegate HP to newly created accounts?

The lack of resources from new created accounts is still a problem to be solved. I've got a few ideas for solutions in mind - but one step at a time :)

Just a spoiler here:
Let's imagine we implement a refer-a-friend feature, and @hiveonboard will send a memo to the person who refereed the new account if it was created.

Since (in theory) the newly created account would share a small amount of post rewards to the referrer, there is an incentive to delegate a small amount of HP to him in order to get started.

Another option where community could help right now:
A list of newly created accounts is generated on a daily basis - like this one from yesterday. It would be awesome if anyone could take a look at those accounts and help active ones to get started.
