This post is about claiming and creating a discounted account using beem. We will create two python scripts, one for claiming and the other one for creating. The RC costs for claiming a new account are 4978.034244114 G RC (https://beempy.com/resource_costs).

Claiming a discounted account

Store the following lines as claim_account.py

#!/usr/bin/python
from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
from beem.rc import RC
import getpass
import time


if __name__ == "__main__":
    wif = getpass.getpass(prompt='Enter your active key:')
    stm = Steem(node="https://api.steemit.com", keys=[wif])
    creator = stm.wallet.getAccountFromPrivateKey(wif)
    creator = Account(creator)
    rc = RC(steem_instance=stm)
    current_costs = stm.get_rc_cost(rc.get_resource_count(tx_size=250, new_account_op_count=1))
    current_mana = creator.get_rc_manabar()["current_mana"]
    last_mana = current_mana
    print("Current costs %.2f G RC - current mana %.2f G RC" % (current_costs / 1e9, current_mana / 1e9))
    if current_costs + 10 < current_mana:
        stm.claim_account(creator)
        time.sleep(10)
        creator.refresh()
        current_mana = creator.get_rc_manabar()["current_mana"]
        print("Account claimed and %.2f G RC paid." % ((last_mana - current_mana) / 1e9))
        last_mana = current_mana
    else:
        print("Not enough RC for a claim!")

Be sure to have beem installed (pip install -U beem). After storing the file,
it can be started by

python claim_account.py

The script is then asking for the active key of the claimer. The account name is automatically determined by the getAccountFromPrivateKey function. The script calculates the RC costs and checks if the operation will be sucessfull. If enougth RCs are available, one discounted account is claimed.

Enter your active key.
Current costs 4982.55 G RC - current mana 7890.16 G RC
Account claimed and 4966.93 G RC paid.

Creating a discounted account

Store the following lines as create_claimed_account.py

#!/usr/bin/python
from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
from beem.rc import RC
import getpass
import argparse
import time


if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Creating a claimed account.')
    parser.add_argument('new_account_name', type=str, 
                       help='Account name from the account that should be created.')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    if args.new_account_name is None:
        raise ValueError("Please enter a name.")
        
    wif = getpass.getpass(prompt='Enter the active key of the account creator:')
    password = getpass.getpass(prompt='Enter the new password for the new account:')
    password2 = getpass.getpass(prompt='Re-Enter the new password for the new account:')
    if password != password2:
        raise ValueError("Password do not match!")
    stm = Steem(node="https://api.steemit.com", keys=[wif])
    creator = stm.wallet.getAccountFromPrivateKey(wif)
    creator = Account(creator)
    print(stm.create_claimed_account(args.new_account_name, creator=creator, password=password))
    time.sleep(10)
    
    new_account = Account(args.new_account_name)
    new_account.print_info()

After storing the file, it can be started by:

python create_claimed_account.py new_account_name

I will create a new account named beempy by entering:

python create_claimed_account.py beempy

After pressing return, the script asks for the active key of the creator and twice for the new account password:

Enter the active key of the account creator:
Enter the new password for the new account:
Re-Enter the new password for the new account:
