I have realised through a new idea that I have, that there is no need to filter user signups, one way or another.
There is another, more difficult puzzle now to solve. How to stop an explosion of new accounts.
The simplest way is freemium method. Given enough time, a user can earn enough stake to lift the limits. The primary limit has to be they can't have stake delegated. In fact, this may really mean, that stake delegation should not exist.
I am thinking through this, and I will have a definitive answer in the next day. I will be posting as @calibrae about Calibrae from now on, and I will not be posting, or voting, as l0k1 or elfspice anymore.

@elfspice, I've sent you some Steem to help you build. If everything you do attempts to put the community first and communicate any difficulties you encounter, even if they are terminal, you will gain my trust for what it's worth. I agree that a forking was inevitable. Steemit.inc's comms and handling, the abuse of premine stake, the technical issues, the pace of development have created the perfect storm.
I intend to do a post to highlight your attempt and explain my position...I feel I owe it to my followers, the minnows and you.
I know it feels good to stick it to those that mocked and shunned you, I would feel the same. I sense in your updates that your jubilation is being tempered by the hard work you are doing and gravity of the situation...I'm grateful for that....it comes across better.
This is all about utility and trust....can we use it as we need to be able to? Can we trust it and the token?
Steemit.inc have squandered some of the trust...at this point, they've blown it for me. Whatever the cause, incompetence, greed, whatever, they had no competition to galvanise their approach, now they do. Clearly it remains to be seen if that will help Steem, I hope so.
However, some issues are so big, if you can make a stable alternative, I think there is a chance calibrae could do very well. I think you understand very well that the value of a token is in the distribution. So I wanted to clarify the ipo....is it only those who comment here (other than premine) that will receive their stake at genesis? If so we need to makes sure as many people as possible have the opportunity to make that choice.
Best of luck with your work, I hope you are getting sincere offers to help. Later.
Count me in, but wasn't the idea actually opt in just anybody except pre-miners?
bleujay would like to opt in.
I am opting in! Here in Colombia we also take beautiful pictures of hummingburds if you ever run out!
Love to be there! I sent 7.530 STEEM for your project and I dare anyone else to do the same. That's right a little from us all will go along way.
Ah what the Hell, I don't got that long a lifespan anyway.
I can't write code, but I have about $25 loose SBD to donate if it's of any help.
Count me in.
Hey at this point, SBD is almost like pretend money anyway. ;-)
I've got a couple of double digit payouts coming, maybe I'll send more.
Hey my friend - I'm definitely in!! You know that. tty soon.
¡¡Opting In of course!! :)@elfspice
This Tucusito who comments here now, is gonna resteem this post right away to spread more awareness about this promising project all over around. And hopefully, invite and also recruit a good army of new species of clever Hummingbirds & Chrysolampis Mosquitus to suck & taste the sweetest VESTS nectars of Steem JUICE.
And btw, regarding the depiction of the Meme in your post above, certainly you are not the only one nor you are alone on this fair crusade mate.
So, add me to your early script and Let's...
Count me in.
I'm opting in. Out of pure curiosity. I'm a newbie, a noob, a minnow without much coding skills. But I've seen enough on this platform to make me doubt the direction it's taking. I applaud the efforts for a fresh perspective, but to be honest I've got also some doubts on the Calibrae project.
From my point of view Steemit isn't a finished product. Looking at the top left of my screen, there's a constant reminder that this is still BETA. I think features and improvements will be rolled out in the future. Probably the rewarding system itself is also still under construction. We already see that discontent over it's current state of affairs leads to disappointment and ultimately abandonment.
What do you think your chances are at creating a better, more balanced, more encouraging, more rewarding experience for everybody to end up with a platform that ultimately brings Internet's finest content?
I really believe it's the quality of the content in the posts by the members and how that's rewarded that will prove to be the ultimate deciding factor for becoming a leading platform. The concept of a blog post site on a blockchain, rewarded via a crypto-currency token system is a true gem in my opinion. It was only a matter of time until this brilliant idea lands on multiple new initiatives.
Don't want to sound to negative here. But just please be 100% sure about your base principles, about your vision, about your abilities and about human nature in general. If you are going to do it, do it right. And for what it's worth, as a minor minnow, you have my respect for embarking on this adventure.
Thanks for your elaborate reply, much appreciated. If it wasn't clear from my comment, I'm opting in :)
Count me in.
I'm a curious chap, can I be counted?
I opt in. Cheers!
What would you advice someone new'ish who is still a Red Fish repairing damage done to Reputation pre-reading the "White Papers"?
As well, the account set-up here for my wife is over 3 weeks waiting (b.s. auto-response from support@steemit, and still no info after contacting timcliff a week ago). New account set-ups will be available when the site goes live, or is only being offered to initial existing steemit accounts?
anon.steem.network has accounts for .007btc.
Yes. I have been debating using said service for the Miss'us. From what I've seen an account can be purchased for like 10 STEEM. Yet I have been posting 100% Power Up lately (most everything of what little I have is vested in SP), and I must admit I am a bit curious to participate in a "steemit" break-away (hoping for a better experience).
Time will tell. Circumstances seem to be what will dictate whether I migrate or not.
Mucho appreciation for all your support @freebornangel. For now I'm still around. Yet if Calibrae seems to have better control over abuse and a more level field for all players involved I will find it hard to resist.
Maybe the threat of competition will sharpen stinc's customer service chops,...
Thank You!
If possible it would be great to use the same user name my better half tried to sign up with here.
You rock m8, here's to a successful launch. Salud! @tradetheart (trade the art, all run together).
Most excellent, thank you for the info.
Would defiantly like to opt in and have my better half set up as well. Just let me when and how we could pass info to get this party started.
Optin. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing more!
I'm very intrigued, so count me in!
I am opting in as well, I think but I would like a clearer definition of what that means. I don't want to leave my steemit account at this point, or power down everything. I want to support people on this platform still, and I have vote support here. I will use my little influence to support Calibrae though, which I am already doing by informing people, and resteeming.
I will be active on Calibrae once it's up, and invite people over.
I don't think that qualifies as sitting on the fence. Or what do you think?
How will you deal with SBD balances?
That makes sense, @andybets is in. Are reputations to be preserved?
Can you briefly explain what exactly the seed nodes do, and are they the same as p2p nodes?
I want to help bring these issues to light, but still need a few gaps filling before I feel I have sufficient knowledge.
Other than seeds, how far wrong is this picture?

What about my balance on the internal market?
My question was about having 500usd on the market and out of my public wallet.
Would I need to move that to a public space, perhaps the savings or live balance?
I don't care to keep my balance public, so putting them on the market for more than they are worth takes care of that for me while leaving the value liquid.
YES, please accept my request to subscribe to Calibrae 👍@elfspice I took a lil' while to catch up to the posts and threads prior to this.
I'm upvoting and resteeming this - Cheers!
Count me in
Count me in.
Opt in I guess. I'll give it a try. When will it be online?
count me in.
seems like the only way to get anywhere on Steemit is to lick some megawhale ass which I'll pass on.
is the snapshot already taken definitive? some of my buy orders on polo just triggered, I'll only bring the steem over if there's another Calibrae snapshot. if not I might just resell them.
Copy me over please.
Your project sounds interesting. I am really new to steemit, and had a couple questions before I decide what to do.
My steem account is not worth much since I am new, but if I opt in, will my assets be split in half, divided between the new platform and the old one?
How will the new platform know what my password from the old platform is? Are the passwords secure?
What is a "preminer" and how to do you know if you are one?
Sorry for the newbie questions and thanks for your time.
Thank you for answering my questions. I kind of see what you mean about the manipulation. I'm also not sure I liked the fact people were buying votes and use of bots instead of real users giving the vote based on quality of the posts. I am hopeful that one of the systems will try to mitigate these problems.
Please count me in!
I opt in.
I joined Steemit in May'16. I wrote articles that did very well and bought Steem and have periodically bought more Steem. At least half my Steem was effectively bought, maybe more.
Here are the details on Minnowbooster.I delegate to the Minnowbooster project because several people I follow (like @lukestokes) mentioned it and I took a look.
Nothing fishy here.
Additionally, I make it a point to use my influence to speak Truth to Power. (and a month ago on Tezos)
count me in if i'm not too late ;) p.s. love your handle 'loki'
cool! thanx
This sounds very intersting. Was led here by @drpuffnstuff. Count me in!
calibr.ae does not redirect my browser to any thing that seems existent.
I would like to "sign in" as a new user there, instead of migrating my account, unless migrating my account will let my account stay here.
Does it mean that my old steemit account will be deleted from Steemit? Can you or I do it?
Or does it just mean that I will have my account on both platforms?
So I opt in
count me in
All in.
opt in.
Count me in
Opt in
L
Does it in anyway affect our current account on Steemit? Sorry not a tech guy..
If I have nothing to lose, count me in haha. More of a curiosity thing..
Sorry man but I did not understand a single thing from this, explain like kid please
@elfspice I'm in
Edit : and what about delegated/leased steem power because I have them both..
Opt in please. Thanks!
Please count me in
Im in @mrlibert
Interesting to see what comes of it, may help both platforms. In.
Till when we will be able to opt-in? Project looks very interesting. :)
Okay elfspice! Keep us updated please! :)
I will opt-in later.
Okay :)
Can we be at Calibrae and Steem isn't this just another opportunity to earn more and network with people?
Then count me in what's the url?
This sounds interesting, I am up for it.
I'd like to be in.
I would like to be added. Thank you!
I know you're very busy but just wondering in you have a minute to give a brief explanation of how the same password will work on your new site? I know passwords aren't stored in clear text on some database, so I guess there is some sort of public/private key setup and whatever you are forking over has the public information that can be combined with our private password we enter when we sign in, to verify that it is indeed us signing in. Thanks!
Thank you for helping me understand this, much appreciated!
Count me in! Wow man you're doing a lot of work. Keep it up
Count me in.
