The Idea of "Light" Accounts, is crazy. Steem can be SaaS-Modell to invade platform but never can not full fletched Steemians enjoy the Platform enough to stay. You just burn them and scare them off.
Light Accounts would be a measure for a system which has huge amounts of ppl w8ting in front of the door, who can not pay the entry. Which is just not true. None wants to enter, that is the problem. Light Accounts fix nothing, so don't fix things which are not broken.
umm, okay buddy.
I see you don't get the point, I was below 20SP not even 2 Moth ago - and Steem suxxed for me. Worthless, useless - 1Post / 2 Upvotes a day and 1 NextColony Upgrade and I was out if RC for a whole day. I had 2 options, buy Steem or leave Steem. I chose to buy and 9/10 people would not have chosen that way.
You wanna push Light Accounts and make all new users second class steemians, good luck with that. But take record how many of them stay active longer than 3 days.
Umm, the thing with the delegation pools and the light accounts is that RCs can be provided to the light accounts at no cost and make sure that they don't need to buy in unless they want to start earning immediately. The light account by itself could interact forever and near unlimited if it doesn't abuse with RCs provided it.
Starting into the Steem Universe is so confusing for anyone, can we really create a second type of account and sell the idea of working all the way up to a full account first? The might become a deadlock.
Not letting ppl run out of RC is for sure the right way. Good plan for that point.
Ok, now it is obvious you have no idea what is going on here.
There are these things coming that are called Resource Credit pools where people can delegate RCs to users without having to provide Steem Power to them. This way, they can do all the fuck they want without needing Steem to interact. This doesn't stop them from earning on their content.
What this means is that if an account needs say 50SP of Resource credit value to interact well, an account like mine can delegate to 1000 accounts without it costing me Steem. Understand yet? It also means that Steemit Inc can do the same thing with their Resource credits and empower 200,000 users or something like that.
You can start from this post and work your way backward a year and a half if you care to learn more:

Yes, I did read the post at that time. That means anyone could donate RCs to onboard himself independently right?
If they have the accounts, yes. However,everyone could delegate RCs to anyone else.
and what I just told you scares new users off for at least 2 Moth already - every day - all day long. You don't see them, none does. They come, they feel unwelcome, they leave. End of the Story.
So, you want things to remain the same so that keeps happening?
When I sit in the Train, I sometimes try to convince young ppl to join Steemit. I know what I would need for converting them first hand, so my point of view is already somehow fireproof.
You are going about it all wrong as you do not seem to understand what is actually happening here which means, the people you onboard will have you as their first teacher and will likely hold the same understanding you do. It isn't fireproof.
I will also add, Steem isn't Steemit.
Can Steem sustain health without Steemit Inc?
Yes it can. However, Steemit Inc has been the main developer of the blockchain thus far, but they aren't the only ones with the skills.
I need to read more of your post, just found you today.
Good to hear. I think this place is going to get a lot better and much easier for people to understand in time. At the moment, it is a complicated mess.
But it s 2am and I must be up in a few hours for work so, good night! :)
Good Night and thank you for your time!
I would love the courage to boost new user up to at least 50SP delegated and make them super independent from the very beginning.
You can think of ways to make that happen?
Resource Credits..... are you not paying attention?
And how much would their like then be worth?
Ah, so you think people should be able to give value to others without putting any value in???
Oh, you want Steem for the last 3 years that got raped to hell. Well congrats, we don't need to change a thing!
I actually start to understand your very standpoint.
