I started playing Splinterlands a few weeks back. Since i was beginner and didn't have much to invest renting was the the only option available to me. PeakMonsters became my go to place for looking at good deals to rent cards, but as many of you have experienced the cards would have already been rented by the time your transaction has gone through.After many such failed transactions is when i first saw the message "You don't have enough RC to broadcast the transaction". So what exactly is RC?
Resource Credits/RC basically determines how many transactions you are able to do on the HIVE blockchain. Your RC is 100% at the beginning and when you start doing transactions it gets reduced and would take 4-5 days to completely replenish back to 100%. It is there in place to ensure fair usage of the hive power.
The below are the following way to get RC.
1)Staking - You can increase your power by Staking HIVE. Staking a minimum of 5-10 Hive can go a long way.
If you see the below Image, i have staked/Power UP using the 5 Hive which i had.
2)Delegated RC - This is if you can get someone who was staked hive to delegate some of the resource credit to you.
https://giftgiver.site/ is one such site who provide free RC. I have tried this site and it mentioned at the present moment the delegation is full and please try after some time. so i can't say for sure if it will work.
3)Earn - Once you have some RC/Hive power, you can start making Posts/Blogs. Based on the Up votes you receive, you can earn token and 50% of it can be staked again to increase your RC/Hive power.
