I don't think we can handle a million users without completely overhauling our process for account sign-up and granting access.
It's time to get creative, and think outside the box. We need to come up with inventive solutions to make the sign-up process faster and more efficient. It's also critical that we develop a better way to delegate RCs to new users quickly and securely.
We can't go on just hoping that everything will work out. It's time for a radical transformation to make sure our user base scales with our growth.
Perhaps, accounts are free and the 3 HVIE cost, is taken from their posts till they earn it, or not turn on the earn feature till after they make at least 3 Hive. But as mentioned in the comments already, we are behind a pay wall, or a random luck wall, making onboarding 1,000,000 users in a short time frame, very unlikely. Even, how may account creation tokens are minted? Is their even 1 million of them available at this time?
