I'm not getting the point of having an account. There is already a wallet, why add an extra pointless step that makes using the currency more annoying?
If I mine coins to my wallet via a pool, I can't even do anything with them or transfer because I don't have an account and can't access operations.
This coin is stupid.
Agreed, this is completely unnecessary and so confusing for new users. I see this a a major downside of the coin that will affect adoption especially since there is no easy way to get the account. Contrary to what others, and especially devs, might think, setting up a wallet, figuring out how to use Slack and asking a Bot for and account (provided the bot works and devs aren't on vacation at the moment) is certainly not simple and not an easy way.
I'd love to hear from devs if there is any benefit or technological requirement for this indeed very weird implementation.
