[infestor](https://github.com/emre/infestor) is a command-line application to claim and create discounted STEEM accounts. If your stake is around 2.5k/3k HP level, you can claim discounted accounts (this resource credit requirement may change) in a periodical base.

*I set this automation a couple of times for different accounts. Writing this quick recipe to remember in the future. :)*

#### Requirements
***

- A server (Preferably Linux)


#### Installation
***
```
$ git clone git@github.com:emre/infestor.git
$ cd infestor
$ docker build -t infestor .
```
***

Now, infestor is installed in docker level and you can run any command with the `docker run -t infestor <sub_command>` syntax. 

#### Usage
***
To claim an account token:

***

```
$ docker run  -e INFESTOR_ACTIVE_KEY=<active_key> \
			  -t infestor claim_account --creator emrebeyler --minimum-rc 80
```

***
Output:
***
```
> Fetching RC details of emrebeyler
> emrebeyler has 140 pending claimed accounts. >  Claiming an account currently requires 4662831MM mana.
> emrebeyler has 91282493MM mana available and can claim 19 more accounts.
> Success! emrebeyler now has 141 pending claimed accounts.
```
***

`creator` is the creator account, `--minimum-rc` is the minimum RC level in percent to complete the operation. 

#### Schedule a job to run the infestor 
***

- `$ crontab -e`
- Add a new line

```*/5 * * * * /bin/bash  INFESTOR_ACTIVE_KEY=<active_key> /home/innerhive/environments/infestor-env/bin/infestor claim_account --creator innerhive --minimum-rc 90```

Save and exit.

Now, every five minutes, your RC will be checked automatically. If it's greater than 90%, it will claim an account token.
