Do You Have 5 Trillion Resource Credits? Now You Can Claim Free STEEM Accounts With It
__l after Hard Fork 50 despite all the frustrated bitching FUD and valid complains. Now even a 15 SP account is capable of 18 comments/100+ votes and RC costs will eventually go lower than  the current levels. One new feature of the HF 20 was discounted account creation. Now you can create STEEM accounts by simply burning Resource Credits.__

# What's So Great?
__There have been many posts written about this. I'd just add a very brief and reductive explanation:__
- __If you have more than few hundred SP, you are not going to have your RC almost full almost all the time.__
- __It takes few days to 2 weeks to get a free account from Steemit Inc.__
- __Buying accounts through services cost some money.__

- __The process itself is semi-centralized (Steemit, Blocktrades, AnonSTEEM, Steemconnect and few individuals with extra technological literacy.__
- __Most witnesses have set the account creation fee at 3 STEEM.__

# A Tool From @reazuliqbal
__You can read about it at https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@reazuliqbal/steem-hf20-discounted-account-claim-and-creation-tool There is still no Steemconnect endpoint for it. But the code itself is [open sourced at GitHub.](https://github.com/CodeBull/AccountCreate) Since my RC is back to being at 99%+ I really wanted to try thistool and this is what it did to my account:__

__RC costs for everything is constantly changing due to market dynamics such as network usage. Currently it costs about 5,203,320,253,000 Resource Credits and I instantly got an account claimed.__

__Based on some rough calculations I can say that you need about 2600 effective SP for the job and you'll be able to claim an account about every 5 days. When an account is claimed, it is forever yours and you can create a username and give it anybody you like. You can claim using delegated SP as it is the effective SP that counts. The whole thing is worth 3 STEEM at the moment. That's over 8% APR + Whatever that gains/losses to the price of STEEM. This is true wealth distribution and decentralization.__

__Some might complain that not all accounts can claim accounts. But this is a good thing. Else we'll be facing a nothing at stake problem where those with no incentive to protect the blockchain start making decisions. The mess happened with BTC is a great example.__

__Personally I'm happy to be able to use my RC for something instead of letting it sit there. @ned has constantly teased some form of bandwidth delegation which should now come across as a RC delegation which allow you to keep your SP and have large votes while allowing other  accounts to ride on your idle resources. You'd probably have to wait till SMTs or later for this. But at least all accounts will be able to participate in this.__

# Extra
__6 Days ago @fullcoverbetting did an experiment on how much RC each action cost and these were the results:__
