How do I create a non staked account on jungle testenet?

Question

I get the following error while trying to create account using the cleos create wallet api.

./cleos.sh create account safarilion12 testacc43211 EOS8jd4VBQ8e5Yy7voS12LB4XL1vH112VNQPFQ7wu6PWF77FwRpLU EOS8jd4VBQ8e5Yy7voS12LB4XL1vH112VNQPFQ7wu6PWF77FwRpLU Error 3080001: account using more than allotted RAM usage Error Details: account testacc43211 has insufficient ram; needs 2996 bytes has 0 bytes

Answer 1

So you always have to stake something to have the account:

First check that the creator account (e.g. accname1) has funds...

./cleos.sh get currency balance eosio.token accname1

... and the output might be something like...

832.5970 EOS

...and then check what NET and CPU accname1 has remaining:

./cleos.sh get account accname1

e.g.

privileged: false
permissions:
     owner     1:    1 EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV
        active     1:    1 EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV
memory:
     quota:     438.3 Mb     used:     2.926 Kb

net bandwidth: (averaged over 3 days)
     staked:          0.0000 EOS           (total stake delegated from account to self)
     delegated:     100.0000 EOS           (total staked delegated to account from others)
     used:                 0 bytes
     available:        46.13 Mb
     limit:            46.13 Mb

cpu bandwidth: (averaged over 3 days)
     staked:          0.0000 EOS           (total stake delegated from account to self)
     delegated:     100.0000 EOS           (total staked delegated to account from others)
     used:                 0 us
     available:        1.017 sec
     limit:            1.017 sec

So 'available' is 0 and you can delegate resources from another account or itself:

./cleos.sh system delegatebw eosio accname1 "1.0000 EOS" "1.0000 EOS"

(first EOS parameter is amount of NET, second is amount of CPU)

To make a new account called accname2, specify the resources to go with it:

./cleos.sh system newaccount accname1 accname2 PUB PUB -p accname1 --stake-net "0.1 EOS" --stake-cpu "0.1 EOS" --buy-ram-EOS "0.1 EOS"

where PUB is the public key of accname1

and you should get something like

executed transaction: a1dab3d7e920749d35be4f4b610f76e7b5d7bc89aacb8855c7cc09de07d52916  344 bytes  5938 us

#   eosio.stake <= eosio.token::transfer        {"from":"accname1","to":"eosio.stake","quantity":"0.2000 EOS","memo":"stake bandwidth"}

the above should work for the latest master of eosio

Hope this helps someone :)

Answer 2

I found this line in the code:

https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/blob/master/contracts/eosio.system/eosio.system.cpp#L126

2. new accounts must stake a minimal number of tokens (as set in system parameters)
therefore, this method will execute an inline buyram from receiver for newacnt in
an amount equal to the current new account creation fee.
