Busy.org now links to signup.steemit.com when trying to register. It would be better if the user could be presented with alternative registration methods, including:
Free options:
Steemit - The method of getting a free Steem account funded by Steemit Inc. The verification process requires you to enter your phone number and can take a long time.
Steemfounders - International community initiative designed to facilitate the creation of accounts for new content creators. The requirement is to create a high quality post.
Steemconnect - SteemConnect gives you the option to create a new account immediately, simply by paying a "account creation fee". It does require an existing Steem account to use though.
Blocktrades - BlockTrades allows you to instantly create a new account using BTC, LTC, ETH, STEEM and other cryptos. Before you create an account using blocktrades, you should register with blocktrades.us - a blocktrades account may be required for a possible account recovery process.
