still no email sign up... will it happen in the near future?
Thanks for your interest. There is open account sign up through mining and some members are offering registration services for BCT contributors. @smooth is one of the members offering this service. Email will become a sign up option on Steemit, but we can only say that will come 'soon'. If you register for the waiting list on steemit.com, we will let you know when it's possible.
okay thank you. I like the idea but I and would like to give it a try but really don´t like the Facebook aut. at all.

I don't know what Steemit Inc. plans to do for signup options. They are giving away money (minimum 10 Steem to open an account) so they have to be careful to protect against abuse.
I'll offer another signup option here for bitcointalk forum members:
If I know you and have interacted with you: free
Hero/Legendary: free
Sr.: 1 USD
Full: 2 USD
Any: 5 USD
Payment in advance and can be made in any top 10 crypto.
You will receive a new account with up to 10 powered up Steem. Powered up Steem gives you access to the network (bandwidth), voting power, and earns interest. It can't be powered down (converted to liquid Steem that can be traded on an exchange) until you reach 10x the minimum account balance (currently 10 Steem). Powering down, when possible, is 1/104 of the balance per week.
PM me to get your account.
