I'm not sure how this turned into a steem monsters bashing post in the comments but this is a huge problem for the future of the Steem blockchain and has nothing to do with steem monsters or how we create accounts specifically.

In order to grow the Steem platform we need new users, and for dApps to be built on Steem and be successful, they need to be able to onboard lots of new users. HF20 was codenamed "velocity" because one of the primary goals of it was to make onboarding new users easier and cheaper for dApps.

Steem Monsters can now claim about 20 discounted account creation tokens / day with our ~200k SP. Each token allows us to create a new account for free without paying the current 3 STEEM account creation fee.

The fact that this does not give the new account enough RC to reasonably transact on the platform and that we need to give the account further delegation means that this goal of HF20 has failed.

As far as I know Steem Monsters is the only app on the Steem platform that creates accounts for new users. The comments on this post seem to suggest that the problem is on our end for not delegating ~15 SP to each account created through our app.

Imagine you're an app developer looking for a blockchain platform to build on. You have a great app idea that could potentially have hundreds of thousands of active users. You look at Steem and find out that you will need to have millions of SP to delegate out to these users or else they will not be able to use your app.

The other alternative is to redirect new users to steemit.com (an unrelated site they've never heard of) so they can go through a very lengthy process to get an account by which point they've forgotten about your site entirely.

I have had almost this exact conversation with someone interested in building what seemed like a very promising app on the Steem blockchain, and I'm sure you can guess what the outcome was.

The point of all this is that, very simply, the RCs given from the burned account creation fee (or discounted account creation token) must be enough to reasonably transact or the Steem platform has no future. Period.

This is not an issue with how Steem Monsters creates its accounts, it is a fundamental issue preventing the growth of the Steem blockchain.
