Yeah, they're actually not approving many accounts right now, it's better to just pay a small fee to create one through either Blocktrades or AnonSteem.
Then it's instant Smiley

You're welcome Smiley

Don't worry and happy holidays! Since our last talk, I added a better editor for posts, now you can add external images, bold, italic, YouTube videos on your posts. I'm adding now the possibility to put attachments on the posts too and to embed the attachments inside the post (if it's image).

Thanks for the follow. I created an account on Steemit 3 weeks ago, but it was not approved yet.

Edit: Here a screenshot showing the new editor: https://i.imgur.com/2cgxc57.png

Thanks for the feature on your Twitter account! I'm still going to write that article soon, possibly tomorrow.
First have some family obligations because of the holidays, you know how it is Wink

Gave you a follow and retweeted your post.

Also consider creating a Steemit account for yourself, be sure to mention it when you do, then I'll add you to my auto-upvote queue.

I started promoting on my Twitter some pages there that already uploaded some header or profile image. Soon, I hope to promote on the website too when the website reaches more users Smiley

https://twitter.com/clicadotnet

Edit: I added a shortcut for page url's too, right now. No need to put the /user/ on the link anymore. Example: https://www.clica.net/clica

It will redirect (301) to https://www.clica.net/user/clica

About the fees, when the owner of the page request the withdraw, 9% will be deducted as our commission. The fee is needed so we can keep growing, the only way to make all 100% free is to put advertising on the website like pop-ups or banners, but I don't like this idea.
That's some big fees. Patreon only takes 5% of successfully-processed payments.

You sure you don't want to lower that a little bit?

Sure, we are still studying about the fees yet but I'll reduce. Patreon fees are 10% (5% for them, 5% for banks). From these 9%, I'll probably need pay some 2% or 3% for the blockchain transactions fees when paying the creators.

Looks interesting, I'll check this out.

Especially as I have been looking into a patreon for doiownashitcoin.com one day.

Cheers

Nice! You're welcome to create your page there Smiley

Edit: NO FEES.

I'm thinking to add then some faucet page too, where the user can see some ads in exchange for Bitcoins (still studying this).

Yes, I'll turn the email notifications on by default.

Oh, and it's possible to change the URL of your page too, when you click settings you can change that big number to something more recognizable like my page for example: https://www.clica.net/user/clica

I didn't receive the e-mail notifications, since they were turned off by default.
I've turned them on now though.

I personally wouldn't mind if they were turned on by default, since I'd want to know when someone supports me.
That's definitely not considered spam IMO.

Nice, I'm really glad you enjoyed it, can't wait to see more people using to add the "explore creators" features, so I can promote all pages there by turning them public on the first page.

That's amazing, thank you very much! Yes, right now to refresh the balance works only when you click on the button to refresh. I did that to make the pages load faster (otherwise, the system will check the balance everytime the user click on any page and this may take some extra seconds to make the page load).

I'll probably add the refresh balance arrow on the top.

Do you received the e-mail notifications too?

Thanks for testing and for the article too Smiley

Aha yeah, I was a bit confused.
Refreshing the page itself didn't show my deposit, but clicking the little refresh button next to my balance did the job. (probably something with the browser cache)

It's working pretty good, I have to say. I'll write an article on Steemit about your service, probably next week or so, I'll let you know when it's published.

And thanks for being my first subscriber! Wink

Edit:

I'll look at this some more tomorrow and i'll probably build my page a bit more.
Really cool project, I'm a big fan!

Nice! Now you have a new member Smiley

Right now is 0 confirmations, but I'll change to wait for 1 confirmation then, to avoid double spend.

Yup, received it and sent it to my other account, same e-mail address, but with an 8 between my first and last name Wink
Just made the deposit, waiting for confirmations.

Here's my creator account:

https://www.clica.net/user/1102583103

How many confirmations do deposits need before they show up in your account btw?
You might want to add that information somewhere.

Right! I just sent you $2 so you can test: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/58a8ffcb708801f2277edcb030032660cae969270ec18d8c6fa1fa584089473d

Click on Deposit and transfer to the wallet there. Then, wait some seconds and click on "Refresh Balance".
