Took Steemit a couple weeks, but they FINALLY replied back to my email saying I was good to proceed. What was really interesting to me was the way it randomly generated a password that I HAD to use and that I could not make my own, AND, it was the most complicated, long, and rediculous password I've ever had in my life. Then, I had to make darn sure I had saved it, because if lost, I'd be screwed lol. I guess that weeds out a few in the process I'm sure lol.
