It takes less than 3 minutes to create a new account for newcomers with ecency.com
Today I helped create a new account for my friend.
My friend is a youtuber with more than 4000 followers. He usually creates content about local sporting events. He also likes photography.
A few weeks ago I told my experience on steemit and then hive. He seemed very interested.
This morning he came to me asking for help to create a hive account. All right, I'll make him an account.
With an email it gave, I tried to register a hive account on ecency.com.
I opened ecency.com and went to signup on the right of the page. Then fill in your username and email address.
Less than a minute, I get an email containing a confirmation link.
After accessing the confirmation link, I get a message that the email address has been verified.
Two minutes later I get a new message that the account has been created. The message also includes account information, user name and password.
Then I use the account and password. Yes, I managed to login with a new account.
I checked the new account's wallet and it turned out that I already got a delegation of 5,128 HP from 
My conclusion, to create a new hive account is very easy and fast. No more than 3 minutes.

Hopefully my post is useful for you
