I got to know Steem in 2017 and was thrilled at the new discovery, so I signed up soon on Steemit. It took almost 2 weeks to get my new account approved, and due to such a long waiting time, I forgot my account name and failed in finding the email containing password. After I finally had my ID, nearly 1 month passed. The nightmare was not yet ending, as I had to deal with 4 passwords! As you can see, getting onboard Steem was not easy for me, but rather frustrating.
And later on when I was trying to sign up for my friends, I learned another way which is to purchase an account with STEEM or BTC. But after their accounts were approved, the steep learning curve still confused the new users. While in China, end users have long been signing up with their mobile phone numbers. They can easily log in with a verification code sent to their phone or with Wechat. The user experience is excellent.
Similar platforms in China like Bihu, QUNQUN and Biask have generated millions of traffic within one year. You might think the users’ accounts are controlled in a centralized way, but traditional internet users would need to embrace the blockchain world step by step. Blockchain technology is revolutionary, and the final qualitative change will only be caused by the gradual quantitative change.
As for Steem, we are trying to tackle the same issue by providing users the great experience they have been enjoying with the internet in China. We want to first onboard the large number of users, and then guide them in how to play on the platform such as handling the 4 different passwords.
Quick and Easy Sign-up & Sign-in
To achieve this goal, we have developed a new function for sign-up and sign-in. Users in China can sign up via their mobile phone number, verification code and Wechat Pay. They can log into Steem blockchain via phone number and verification code or phone number and password. We’ve been working on constantly improving users’ experience. Our next step is to develop a hosting system through which users can retrieve their password, cancel their login with phone number and verification code/password. By doing this, users can take a complete control of their accounts and data.
WhereIN team has developed the new sign-up and sign-in function as well as Whereinconnect (Hello,2019——WhereinConnect & WhereIN-activity) for the convenience of users in China. We are trying to build a channel for the public to access Steem blockchain with less time and hassle. We believe that Steem will only enjoy a constant and steady growth when the great majority’s quick and easy access is insured.
Our team is also working hard on supporting developing projects on Steem blockchain. In the future, WhereIN is going to build Layer 2 on the chain, to enable the easy entry of other content websites/App/mini programs and online/offline communities to the blockchain world.

依稀记得2017年刚接触到Steem那会，像是发现了个新大陆般，整个人异常兴奋，所以赶紧在steemit上注册了一个个人账号。可是，从账号申请到下来花费了近2周的时间，并且账号下来后，由于时间太长，用户名也忘记了，到后来连密钥的邮件也找不到了。大概用了近一个月的时间，才有了自己的Steem ID，整个过程可谓是九九八十一难！这还没完，接下来很快被4个密钥搞得晕头转向，只有经历后才会体验到进入Steem有多难。
后来，帮朋友申请账号接触到了第三方，两种方式：要么用STEEM或BTC购买：要么等1-2周。并且账号好不容易下来后，新人依旧逃脱不了自己当初的懵逼状态。而Steem中国学习者的客户端账户，早已支持手机号注册、手机号和验证码登录，甚至支持微信登录，用户体验可为说是非常棒！币乎、QUNQUN、币问等，有些平台已经在短短一年内达到百万流量级别。你可能会说，这是中心化的，控制用户的账号。但我想说的是，区块链是一次变革，变革需要量变累积成质变，传统互联网用户需要一步一步进入区块链世界。对于Steem，我们仍旧致力于同样一个问题：那就是我们能否为用户提供近乎传统互联网的优质体验，让大家先进来，再引导大家完全掌控自己的密钥等。
快速简单注册登录功能
为此，我们开发了新的注册登录系统，中国用户可以用手机号+验证码+微信支付进行账号申请。用户亦可使用手机号+验证码动态登录、手机号+密码进入Steem区块链。我们会持续开发，以期将用户体验做到极致。下面我们将会致力于开发托管系统，用户可取回自己的密钥，注销手机号+验证码/密码登录，让用户完全掌控自己的账号和数据。
WhereIN开发新的注册登录系统和whereinconnect，一心为中国用户进入Steem区块链提供一种快捷、简单的通道。我们相信，只有大众能方便进入，Steem才会有持续、稳定的发展动力。
WhereIN亦会不断努力，为中国用户进入Steem提供各种工具，为项目团队在Steem上开发提供各种支持。WhereIN未来将在Steem区块链之上搭建Layer 2，让不仅是WhereIN Dapp，更是其他内容网站/App/小程序、线上/线下社区都能轻而易举地跨入到区块链世界。
