Hey Tim. I just tried to use this and couldn't find the Account creation fee listed at steemd.com. I've found it a couple of times previously.
I used pharesim's steeminvite service instead; but is there anywhere else the account creation fee is listed?

You can find it by taking the median of the witnesses. Currently it is 0.1 STEEM.

Thanks Tim. I kept getting the error message at 0.100 steem, but tried again for 7 steem and it submitted successfully.

0.1 STEEM is the account_creation_fee, which needs to be multiplied by 30. 3.0 STEEM is the minimum to create an account without delegation. 7 will work too :)

Thanks for clarifying, Tim. Really appreciate what you do for us :)

What about creating an account with delegation? Does that involve less than 3 STEEM as investment?
Would the new account still be able to post?
I have to create an account for my friend, and the OTP system isn't working for India.

If you use the delegation option, you only need to vest (give) 0.1 STEEM to the account, but you have to delegate an additional 14.5 SP. They will still be able to post, vote, etc.

Thank you for your response.
I have neither of the requirements to make an account. Neither MVESTS, nor SP. However, I think that I can create an account with a hybrid form of payment. Do you think that is possible? Or should I just pay using Crypto the old fashioned way?

Message me on steem chat. I’ll create the account for you.
