I was finally able to set up a new account on EOS.
Creating a new account on EOS from scratch is now actually very easy, using the account creator tool offered by EOS Vibes.
You can choose your 12 character account name and select to pay with several cryptocurrencies, or even with a credit card.
I chose to use a prepaid virtual debit card and paid around 11 dollars to create the account.
The process really couldn't be any easier!
You can now find me on EOS @ burglarproof
