RE: How to create a steem account via cli_wallet command prompt?

in #steem-help7 years ago

I do the following:

  1. Generate a public/private key pair using suggest_brain_key
  2. Create the account using the pub_key value from the pair
    create_account_with_keys_delegated "youraccount" "0.200 STEEM" "63000.000000 VESTS" "newname" "" "STM8kGEPBMsn3WnstoXsaY5Raw3qKwQoAjfuS73SWdvEJGndsgBNt" "STM8kGEPBMsn3WnstoXsaY5Raw3qKwQoAjfuS73SWdvEJGndsgBNt" "STM8kGEPBMsn3WnstoXsaY5Raw3qKwQoAjfuS73SWdvEJGndsgBNt" "STM8kGEPBMsn3WnstoXsaY5Raw3qKwQoAjfuS73SWdvEJGndsgBNt" true
  3. Give the wif_priv_key value to the owner of the account
  4. Have the owner change the key using the Change Password page on steemit.com.
  5. Make 100% sure that the owner saves and backs up their new key somewhere safe.

When you use these steps, the new owner must change their password before it can be used to login to steemit.com.

You can also change the STEEM and VESTS amounts. The amounts I have above are based on the current account creation fee of 0.20 STEEM, and use the minimum STEEM amount, while delegating the rest. If you used 6.000 STEEM, you could do 0.000000 VESTS. Note - the number decimal places must match what is used above.

Thanks Cliff, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

It gives me hope that steemit can also replace stackoverflow.
