RE: I claimed a few accounts today: Is this something that everyone who can, should be doing?
So what's the purpose of claiming an account? And claiming if not creating a new account, so what does a claimed account do for us?
It's basically a token which allows you to create an account for free later.
Cool. Thanks.
I guess it's a bit like buying a monster pack in June :) Not much you could do with it then, but the promise of them being valuable in the future seemed to work!
You hold the claimed account like a token, which can then be used to create an account for free.
Hehe nice analogy. So I guess I need to check, after all of today's transactions, if I can claim one lol
You can't sell the tokens. It's a little silly to treat them as a speculative asset.
But you can sell (with fuel) the account created, which i'm sure is in the minds of some.
That will be awkward for anything but large numbers of accounts.
You'll either need to run your own service, or hand your active key/authority over to some service (yeah, thanks but no thanks) or run a node in an ad hoc network that facilitates account orders. Not straightforward.
