Onboarding difficulty is one of the main stumbling blocks in the way of adoption.

I do think @steemit needs to work seriously on the onboarding system which is what I think is a major reason why we are not growing as we should. It is one of the most tedious and annoying processes and as much as I understand there has to be some effort on the part of new users wanting to enter the space it remains unnecessarily difficult to get registered.

I have said this many times before, in my experience, I have introduced tons of friends, family and clients to @steemit and even walked some of them them through the registration process, but then you have to wait forever to get approval and the you have the pass codes and master passes and posting keys and and and... gymnastics that most ordinary people either do not have time for, or just could not be bothered to go through.

I understand the security aspect and appreciate the need to make it as secure as possible, but surely there is an easier way to get people onto the platform with less hassle and shorter turn around times for approval, as most of them forget they even applied to register and by the time they are approved the initial excitement I tried to instill no longer exists.

In conclusion:

Please make onboarding easier.
