RE: [Question] How do I register a steem account without steemit.com ?
Ok, so what I imagine now is this:
- new user creates a keypair
- new user gives public key to existing user
- existing user registers public key and pays fee (BY paying the fee?)
- one of them (who?) registers steem user name to the public key
- new user can now start to use steem with the client of his or her choice
Do you know if there are any technical prerequisites to run the client (I'm presuming it's a linux program)?
It's Linux, you have to download and sync the blockchain to do it. I don't really know much else as I haven't tried in practice.
ah ok, the need to download the whole chain obviously is at least a small hurdle. :)
You don't need to download the whole chain to do that.
You need the cli_wallet.

In the comment section of my post, you can find an easy method.
You need 4 keys to create an account.
The command you are looking for is: create_account_with_keys
create_account will create an account with the keys stored in your wallet.
ah, great. thank you. cli_wallet would have been the keyword to google for. :)
without the docker image it's a pain to compile it though.
Yeah, I just began to read. I guess I will try this next weekend. :)
