Steemhunt Delegates 15SP for All New Users Signed-up to Enhance its Onboarding Experience

From today, every new user signed-up via the Steemhunt Sign-up Interface to create a Steem Account will receive 15 Steem Power for a month to improve its onboarding experience.

Background

One of the biggest changes from the HF20 is that now Steem DApp is able to claim account creations by using the RC (Resource Credit). However, the new user account (that is used by the account creation token) is created without any SP value and just a minimum amount of RC (while the new accounts that are created by @steem get 15 SP delegated).

With this new system, there are two critical issues for new users across all services on Steem:

1. The minimum RC is barely enough to make comments/upvotes.
2. There is a bug that prevents new users from upvoting (it returns the minimum voting mana alert message without making the upvote action).

In the case of number two, the new account should be able to upvote even though it has zero SP (the upvote value will be zero, but the action itself should work). This bug was reported by @tabris four months ago, and will require another hard fork to fix the issue.

(When the new user clicks the upvote button, it returns the above message rather than performing the upvote action with zero value)

Other than the user powering up SP, the quickest solution is to delegate any plus SP value to the account until the user makes his/her own SP value (even with just 0.001SP the bug will be fixed).

Solution - Delegate 15 SP for the first Month

To be able to make regular app activities, the new account is required to have at least 15 SP. This amount will allow the new user to make at least 3-4 comments and 20+ votings per day.

So, from today @steemhunt will delegate 15 SP to the new users that are signed up via our Steem account creation interface and maintain the delegation for a month so that the new account holder will have enough time to create positive SP value.

This is the process:

1. A new user signs up to create Steem account here - https://steemhunt.com/sign-up.
2. @steemhunt delegates 15 SP immediately to the new account that is successfully generated.
3. The delegation will be maintained for 30 days, and undelegated after then.

To protect our resource from any abusing attempts, we are running an automated algorithm for the new account creation in our interface. If any types of abusive actions are detected, or the new user is blacklisted, the SP will be undelegated right away.

(Steemhunt will delegate 15SP to the new users for the first month via Steemhunt.com)
