If you go through the homepage, and create a pre-invite account (which is like two button clicks or so) you'll end up on a status page.

This is the cold - no invite path. Where I'll personally verify you're human and attach your cold account to an invite :)

Otherwise, you'd have to be invited.

So my best interest would be to spam a lot of accounts now that'll be personally trusted by you and reflect poorly on you if I use them for spam later?

Yes, exactly. I'm most excited that the concept was understood at all. So cool. Thank you.
