THANK YOu i was JUSt about to ask this! You deserve every dollar youre getting right now! from comments and pposts!
I am literally crying right now because i have been asking if there is a backup account creation, or if there was a way i could just PAy the initial account creation fee of the free fw dollars  in steem the new accounts get! And I wanted to make sure I could use steemit if steemitcom was down! Now i see that with blockchain API That is possible rigt if steemit.com was down I could still initiate a powerdown and powerdown and claim my steem and spend it right? 

God this is HUGEnews i am glad we are all realizing how big this is this is EXACTLy what SO MANy of s were asking for! I cant believe i hadnt seen this for 12 days!

I am kinda new, where do i put this command in?

Great comment - appreciate the insight into the power of CLI :)

Hi, does your steempy support the 'update_account' command to change all your keys?
Are there light CLI wallets (with a remote node) you know about?

So if you create an account this way will you be able to post on Steemit? Otherwise, I don't see the point.

steempy is the best thing ever. I use it often in managing my witness servers. The documentation is a lacking a bit though, one needs to look at the cli.py code to figure what parameters to use.

Thats awesome info - it would be great if there would be some more tutorials about it.... will try :)

I just tested it and it works great :)
Anyway when I use the "--fee 9 STEEM" option I end up with an error. Tested it with STEEM, without & "-fee 9STEEM".... always end up in the same error, any idea? Will later try it again and post the error. 

Thanks for an answer!

Could you please explain more about creation fee? Is it fix value or can change? Thank you so much!

Thanks for the advice! 

But I always have error:

steempy newaccount divali888 --account steemy

3.
steempy newaccount divali888 


```

Please help me

In your examples, you label the account "throwaway", but you're also referencing your own account in there, so this is not an anonymous transaction, right? Your own (main) account is referenced forever as the creator of that "throwaway" account, right?

I still don't understand how to use CLI and don't have the time to learn. :(  In addition to the long setup process for people like me who don't understand the code.

This was incredibly helpful!

The method outlined in the post sounded like it would be a bit costly for me to get my family's accounts made, but this method looks awesome. I'll get to it :)

I've written a post on the late, great [Chuck Berry's music](https://steemit.com/music/@oddnugget/chuck-berry-s-most-iconic-songs). It's pretty musical. :)

Thanks @furion just tried it. This is awesome.

I keep getting error "egg_info".  Trying to install it on Kali Linux following the directions from steempy.  Is this common?

Also do you have to have an account to use "newaccount"? Or can I use a Bitshares trading account?

That's awesome. How does someone get steempy up and running though? Is it something that someone with little to no computer knowledge can do?
