Dear Dan Larimer, if you read this, pay attention to this ..

I read the news of your departure from the company Steem and learned that you are a talented developer.
After that, I decided to register in Steem and express my best wishes to you, because Steem is the first social network for blockchain technology.

But it turned out that this is not so. At the second stage of registration, Steem began to extort my phone number from me. I'm a poor man and I do not have a phone. This also rudely violates privacy. But good. I reported the phone number.

Then Steam told me the following: "Unfortunately, we do not have the support to send SMS to your carrier, please try again later."!!!!!

If you do not need new customers, please get out of the market. If your developers consider it possible to rudely violate privacy, that Steem very bad token.

You specifically anger people by extorting phone numbers and the price of the token Steem it shows.

I require developers to immediately remove the requirement for phone numbers.
I express the hope that you will be punished for this soon. Very sad.
