I don't know about you, but for me Hive Keychain is the go to wallet which offers assets management, but also some automated tasks that simply makes life easier. If you want to onboard new users on the Hive blockchain usually you need to pay a small fee. But what not many of you might know there is a functionality that allows you to spend Resource Credits (which are replenishing anyhow) and get free account tickets. These tickets allow you to create new accounts at a zero cost either for yourself or for your friends.
To get your free account tickets using Hive Keychain you need to perform these steps:
- Open Hive Keychain and login to it.
- Go to Menu -> User operations -> Automated Tasks.
- Enable the Claim accounts option.
The Claim accounts option will "claim a free account ticket when your RC is charged over 85%. Depending on your Hive Power, this might use up a big chunk of your RC". And having these tickets will allow you creating new accounts for anyone that you want at zero cost. While there are probably many ways in which you can create new accounts using claimed tickets, I am using PEAKD (https://peakd.com/ => Wallet) for this purpose. And what I like about it is that you can also see the number of free account tickets that you have.
That's it with this post that revealed how to claim free account tickets and where you can see those. I will make another post about how you can use such a ticket in order to create a free account on the Hive blockchain. I believe that these free account tickets offer some strong onboarding options and all of us should know about it.
