I'm sure this is helpful to someone but does it really need $72 in rewards (after I see it was already downvoted, so it likely was previously even higher)?
In my view, no.
Account credits are a feature that is intended for the largest stakeholders and app developers to on board users. (I believe you need around 10000 SP* to claim even a single account credit.) Most if not all of these people can find the information about how to do it or already know how.
Whoever is upvoting this stuff, please exercise more care. Rewards are not "free". Every single reward paid out represents additional supply overhang onto the Steem market (even if not sold immediately). If it corresponds with significant added value, great, it can help absorb the extra supply. Often it does not.
This is not a money spigot.
Downvoted.
* EDIT: Apparently it can sometimes, or even usually, be done with somewhat less than 10K SP. Which of course does not change the main point I was making.
"Around 10k" is not really accurate... maybe on the worst day.
Unless +-40% accuracy is considered "around" haha
I looked here and it says 10656 GRCs, which would be generated by 10K SP over 5 days right?

I'm sure it does vary though, as indicated by the chart there (10k looks close to a rough average)
at 11.5k I used up about 50% today... and that's a pretty typical rate... doesn't vary a ton (not like a 40-50% variance) and often the variance goes the other direction.
The barrier to entrey... aka barrier to trigger an action is what someone would want to know.
EDIT: I Took a look at beempy and not sure how to read that because I have months of dozens of real life evidence that says it's no where near 10k.
Strange, maybe the site has a bug. I'll make an edit to the above, although it doesn't change the main point I was making.
I have about 8k SP and claimed an account, took my RC down to about 35% so seems you can probably claim an account just by being a dolphin at 5-6kSP? But it will take longer to recharge, probably 5 days!
