I don't remember what the full error message said when I was trying to get in for the first time, but I'm sure the message included "bandwidth exceeded" because I ended up looking for what the term meant on Google this morning.

After reading up on the bandwidth issue, I waited for about an hour and then tried to log in. This time it worked. :)

I guess it was something fishy with my new account though. Maybe a glitch.

If I hear that it happens with more users I will open an issue. You shouldn’t be blocked from doing anything when you first open an account. That is a little ridiculous :)

My three friends all had this same issue occur. One of them decided not to Steem because of it.

They had the "bandwitdh exceeded"while simply trying to input their generated password for the first time. This WAS during the morning and mid day hours for the East Coast TimeZone of US.
