When I picture a guest account. I think of someone who came across a steem post via google or other forum.

I picture them wanting to add information, make an argument or comment.

I think.. Guest#### would be okay, still give them motive to sign up if they want a name.

I think, posting only is enough for activity.

To add further interest it would be cool if anyone voted on the comment if the rewards were sent to null, but the Interface actually said... Guest Account Rewards Burned to create interest.

I think a guest account should be able to be a BENEFICIARY of a comment/post... but not sure about their ability to make comments and posts... that gets into the whole RC system thing. That means they have a impact on APIs, they have probably impact on spam, on votes and all sorts of systems, like account metadata any everything because then you need pictures etc... that doesn't make them very light. It seems like 3steem above free. haha ... aka normal account.

And every interface could easily solve guest commenting without the need for it to be directly in the blockchain. We're gonna do it pretty soon without light accounts... but it would be so much better if there was a place to send the beneficiary rewards of those posts and would be nice to turn them into normal accounts quickly.

You are correct, I did not think about RCs at all. I guess the last time I had this conversation, it was assumed that the guest accounts would be on a side chain and possibly have some ability to migrate over.

Anyway, thank you for always making a plan, seeking feedback and moving forward!

Don't forget RC delegation pools turns accounts that need 3sp/token + 15-30sp into accounts that only need 3sp or a token given by our users... users who btw have tens of thousands of tokens sitting around. And steem which is .22 cents

I like that Idea. It would get them seeing dollars being flushed down the toilet right in front of their eyes. People don't like seeing money go bye-bye for no reason.
