My friend is really interested in Steemit and would like to participate in the community. He signed up on July 17 at 2PM PST, confirmed his email address, it's now 2 days later he hasn't received an email regarding account activation/approval.
After emailing support their response was:
Hi and thanks for your message.
We read all of the emails we receive to this address, however, please note that Steemit is in beta and we are unable to process >certain types of requests at this time including, but not limited to, emails regarding new accounts, name changes and forgotten >passwords.
Thanks for your patience as we develop the website and create additional support features.

CEO Steemit
Has anyone successfully created an account in the last few days? This may be killing our user adoption, and I don't understand why it would take 48+ hours to create an account?
