As of 8:02 A.M. at UTC time, a user will need about 2,550 Hive Power at 100% Resource Credits to be able to claim a free account on Hive.
(and after every 5 days provided that the RC required for claiming an account does not get higher than the current cost)
I just claimed an account. I have enough RC left to claim another one tomorrow. What I now require is to find some people to onboard.
I know a lot of people whom I want to onboard here, but it's either leaving them on their own after they join, or I use a semi-anonymous account to introduce them to Hive.
