Hi,
I just signed up for steemit.com but did NOT get the promised $10 of Steem Power!
I got $6 of Steem Power instead (3.00 Steem Power)!
I don' want to be a b***H about $4 worth of Steem Power, but just 60% of the promised value is a HUGE difference!
Especially if steemit.com makes this bold promise right on the front page to get new users to sign up.
And Steem didn't just crashed today or yesterday. The price of Steem is since days below $2.30 (and now below $2.00 - on Poloniex).
I don't think it would be that hard to for steemit.com to make sure that new users really receive the promised $10 of Steem Power. No would expect that it really matches the latest exchange rate but it should be at least close to it! 10% off, even 15% off the average weekely exchange rate is something I'd even expect, but a 40% difference is impudent!
Every retailer who offers Bitcoin payments manages (and hast to manage this in order to keep his customers) to keep the Bitcoin price pretty much connected to the current exchange rate and new steemit.com users expect the same ability from steemit.com.
Again, I am not trying to be a b***h because of $4 worth of Steem Power but this "behavior" of steemit.com is just disappointing, unprofessional and really not a trust generating start for new users on the steemit.com platform!
I also couldn't find a contact form or support-link, that's why I'm just posting this complain publicly and hope some developers will read this and fix this issue/bug.
I expect the Steem price go further down for the next few weeks, so it will be soon around $1.50. I think lots of new users who might sign up next week, will even more disappointed if they just receive $3.00 - $3.50 worth of Steem Power instead of the $10 - that would be 70% less than promised!
This is really not the best way for steemit.com not welcome new users!
