How To Create An EOS Blockchain Account

by Will Long | Oct 3, 2018 | blog, EOS, Facts, News, Video, Wallets

Are you looking for instructions on how to create an EOS blockchain account? Well then you have found the right page! If you missed out on the original EOS token sale on Ethereum, you can still join the EOS ecosystem. But you need to start with an account! This post is about how you can create an EOS account today.

The EOS Account creator is a service that simply lets anyone create a new EOS blockchain account. EOS works slightly differently than previous blockchains. On EOS, new accounts can only be created by someone with an existing account. There are also other requirements like staking a certain amount of EOS and acquiring RAM.

We found an informative post that details more about the EOS Account creator service on Steemit. FYI you can follow Bitcoinshirtz on Steemit here.

From Steemit User @angelol :

“On bitcoin and other blockchains, if you want to create an account, you just create a new private key and you’re done.

On delegated proof-of-stake blockchains like STEEM or EOS however, there is the concept of an account with a human-readable name. The data of this account is stored in the blockchain which means an on-chain transaction is needed to create it. But, in order to create this transaction, you need to have an EOS account.

So you need an EOS account if you want to create an EOS account! It’s like the saying “You gotta have money to make money”. But it doesn’t end here. You also need a small amount of EOS to buy the RAM for the account as well as stake a small amount of EOS for CPU and network bandwidth. I recommend to stake at least 0.1 EOS for CPU and 0.1 EOS for network bandwidth. An account needs around 3KB of RAM, so if you buy 4KB you should be on the safe side. At current RAM prices 4KB of RAM cost 0.0678 EOS. If you want to check current RAM prices, the block producer EOS New York built the excellent EOS Resource Planner.

So how do you create an EOS account if you don’t already have one? You can ask someone who already has an account to create it for you. If you have friend who can do it for you, great! The australian block producer genereos have created an excellent toolkit for interacting with EOS system contracts that your friend can use to create your account for you.

I have not only had to help a friend create his EOS account, I’ve also seen this question asked lots of times in telegram. That’s when I decided to build an account creation service specifically for people who don’t have an EOS account yet. It’s called https://eos-account-creator.com/. The accounts it creates are created by the faucet account “accountcreat”. You can follow the most recent accounts it created here on eostracker. Not very many people have used it so far, I hope that will change!

Using a service like this requires a certain amount of trust. That’s why I decided to release the project as open source on GitHub. As soon as I figure out how to post performance bonds on EOS, I will post a performance bond for this project.

I think this is a very important tool for the EOS community. A lot of people kept their EOS on the exchange for the token swap. As soon as the withdrawals will be re-opened, there will be lots of people with no EOS account to withdraw it to.

If you have questions, you can also join our EOS Account Creator Telegram Group. “

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my website! My name is Will and I enjoy designing Bitcoin and crypto t-shirts. Another passion of mine is making videos! Recently I have been putting more effort into uploading videos to DTube and YouTube.

DTube is an app on the STEEM blockchain for uploading and sharing videos. It’s pretty awesome and you can start earning a profit on your uploads immediately. YouTube, in comparison, requires content creators to have 4,000 watch hours in the previous 12 months AND 1,000 subscribers to be REVIEWED to join the YouTube Partner Program. And if approved, then you can start getting paid.

Personally, I think DTube is a game changer and the site has seen some sweet improvements as of late. More on DTube:

D.Tube is the first crypto-decentralized video platform, built on top of the STEEM Blockchain and the IPFS peer-to-peer network.

The Type Of Videos I Love To Make

I enjoy making a variety of videos, but primarily I focus on travel experiences, videos about my cars, fitness, snowboarding, and drone flights.

These are some of the top videos on my channel:

Exodus Now Offers In-Wallet EOS Registration! Register Before June!

by Will Long | May 9, 2018 | blog, Cryptocurrency, EOS, Ethereum, News

The Exodus team has done everyone a big favor by making EOS registration a piece of cake! They literally made a one-button method for completing the EOS token registration. This must be done before the end of the ICO on June 1st, when the real EOS blockchain launches.

“As a wallet that strives to make cryptocurrency intuitive and easy, we feel that a difficult EOS registration process is deterring and we hope that adding this function relieves some stress from blockchain banking.” – Exodus

You must have at least 0.005 ETH in your Exodus wallet to complete the process. EOS is a token on Ethereum up until the snapshot. This means fees must be paid in ETH.

If the GIF above doesn’t explain the process thoroughly enough, follow these directions: open up the “Help” menu in Exodus, then scroll down to the bottom until you see the entry for EOS registration, and then click on it. Then click on the Big Green Button and it will ask you to confirm you want to register.

Once clicked, your EOS tokens are registered to the EOS Mainnet address of your Exodus wallet!

* If you have already registered your EOS address, the message that your address is not registered will still appear. If you would like you can override the old one and register your address again from within Exodus. This will create a new EOS Mainnet address and Private Key (stored in Exodus).

If you don’t see the options to register, make sure your Exodus wallet is up to date. The current version is 1.50.1

Check out this in-depth blog post and the source for this post for more details on the the swap from EOS ERC-20 tokens to mainnet assets.

Square Cash Has A Beautiful Landing Page But Fails To Provide Real Bitcoin Services

by Will Long | May 8, 2018 | Bitcoin, blog, Cryptocurrency, Facts, News

Square Cash, also known as “Cash” or Square, Inc. has recently added Bitcoin investing to their list of services. Square Cash allows users to transfer money using a phone app. The platform now boasts over 7 million users, as of 2018.

Why Square Cash Fails To Provide Real Bitcoin Services

With their new found interest in Bitcoin and blockchain technology, Square, Inc. is now allowing users to purchase and hold Bitcoin in their app. The catch is, they hold the blockchain asset, not you. We explored their new service offering and were completely let down. It turns out you can’t send or receive Bitcoin from the Square app. There are no bitcoin addresses to be seen. Bitcoin and blockchain are all about transparency and the Square Cash app gives users the opposite. They tell you that you now hold Bitcoin in the app but how do you know? You simply can’t verify the information. We doubt they are lying about any of the info displayed, but how would you know otherwise?

If Square Cash wants acceptance from Bitcoin investors, they will have to update their app and make it more transparent. There needs to be proof of purchase on the Bitcoin blockchain. Verifiability is paramount in the blockchain space.

What we liked was their beautiful landing page and informative information about Bitcoin and it’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

New US Congress Report Praises Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology

by Will Long | Apr 8, 2018 | Bitcoin, blog, Cryptocurrency, News

The report is generally positive on the matter of cryptocurrency, which is surprising. They want “policymakers” to be more educated about blockchain and its potential.

It seems the US government is warming up to crypto and accepting the fact that blockchains are not going away.

Excerpts From The Cryptocurrency Report:

Blockchain Looks Like the New Internet

“The buzz surrounding digital currencies resembles the internet excitement in the late 1990s when people recognized technology companies could change the world. Many internet companies launched and their valuations took off in short order. Many failed, but a few succeeded spectacularly and challenged the conventional ways of doing business.”

Cryptocurrencies Could Outshine Government Fiat

“Some critics of currencies controlled by government fiat welcome cryptocurrencies because their supply is preprogrammed and perceived as unchangeable. For example, only 21 million bitcoins will ever be issued and the last fraction of a bitcoin will be issued in approximately 2140. Additionally, the creator of Ethereum designed its mining reward to decline exponentially as more miners create blocks, and according to his calculations the supply will be just over 100 million ether.”

Blockchain Is Secure and Efficient

“Cryptocurrencies and ICOs create headlines, and the pace of financial innovation in the blockchain space amazes skeptics. Yet, with all the headlines focusing on the financial applications, people may miss the digital revolution now happening with other blockchain applications. Even worse, people could be frightened about new developments with the technology as they associate blockchains with the negative headlines. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, secure, and efficient way to store almost any form of data across multiple platforms.”

The Conclusion

“Technology presents evolving challenges and generates new solutions. Blockchain technology essentially stores and transmits data securely, in large volume, and at high speeds. So far, the technology has proved largely resistant to hacking, and given this feature, developers first applied it to digital currencies. Yet blockchain has many more potential applications, such as portable medical records and securing the critical financial and energy infrastructure that the Report identified.”
