Infestor update: Account creation via web interface
infestor is a command line application to claim and create discounted STEEM accounts. If your stake is at least dolphin level, you can claim discounted accounts (this resource credit requirement may change) in a periodical base.
I had been claiming accounts with infestor for a while to onboard people, friends, etc. However, when I want to create an account with this way, I need to see the password of the new account on my command line. (Which is not optimal.)
So, I have added a web interface to the infestor where you can create gift codes and create accounts for people without seeing or accessing their passwords.
With infestor, it is possible for anyone with pending claimed accounts to run an account creation service.
Installation / Upgrade
It requires python3.6+.
$ pip install infestor --upgrade
Note: Using virtualenvs are always preffered.
Configuration
Web interface uses environment variables to get the configuration.
INFESTOR_ACTIVE_KEY=<creator_account_active_key>
INFESTOR_CREATOR_ACCOUNT=<creator_account_username>
INFESTOR_MONGO_URI=<mongodb_connection_uri>
Adding gift codes
- Requires a mongodb instance on localhost.
$ infestor add_gift_code --code EMREBEYLER
Gift code: EMREBEYLER is added to the database.
Running
$ gunicorn infestor.web:app
This will start listening on port 8000. If you want to serve it on a domain, check deploying via Nginx.

Yeah, it was a great help, I was about to skim the steemd source about the rules, looks like that regex pattern covers the most of it. Respect to @cryptosharon.
Yeah, that's a huge changeset but I was on a productive streak on my local. :-)
Thanks for the review. ✌️
:)) Happy to be of use.
Thank you for your review, @helo! Keep up the good work!
Awesome!

How do I install... $ pip install infestor --upgrade. I'm not a programmer.

Hi. I am creating an app for steem and would like it to have its own username. I still haven't had time to go through the docs on how to create accounts using RCs, so your tool is definitely something I would use to quickly get it going. (in fact, you might be interested in this idea. Perhaps we could talk about it?) Thanks for creating this (and perhaps for the gift code :) )
Glad to hear it's useful for you.
Sent you a private memo including the gift code. 🤓
Thanks!
Wonderful job you are doing on Steem @emrebeyler! I'm really impressed with the sort of new and different projects!
