How to solve "Limit CPU/RAM" problems on EOS platform!

over 4 years ago (Edited)

Yesterday i mention on my Spamy post that i was ready to write a guide about EOS and the problems that facing with CPU/NET new users or people that don't have large amounts of EOS and how they can solve it.
It is indeed a problem that many people (mainly new users) facing serious problems with their transactions (whatever that be) due their limited resources, a problem that can easily solved by purchasing some EOS and staking it for what they need (CPU/NET and RAM).

What if they can't afford to buy or just don't want to buy, but they only need to play a game on EOS Blockchain?

Simply they can't (or can limited actions). Because that's EOS structure, you need to own resources (CPU/NET & RAM) to make your transactions. It's not my intention to analyse or explain the way that EOS operate, because my knowledge about it is limited and in the best scenario i will confuse you. Still, i can help new users (or those with small stakes) to overcome that problem by doing some simple steps!

Τhe solution to this problem is very simple and called REX, a rental place for CPU/NET!

EOS REX is a CPU and NET resource rental market in which holders of the core token of the blockchain can buy and sell slices of the REX pool in the form of REX tokens. Note that a REX token is not tradable with third parties, it is merely a convenient accounting unit which can only be directly bought and sold from and to the pool. Its value in terms of the core token always increases, but the return rate is determined by the level of rental activity.

With EOSREX users can rent CPU/NET for 30 day by giving a tiny portion of EOS, when i'm saying a tiny portion i mean it, i.e. with 0.005 EOS you can rent 19.13 EOS CPU for 30 days, same for NET!

It's also possible to ask for someone that own some EOS to do it for you if he want, but lets stay to your own powers here and how you by your self can do that.

How to Do it

First of all you will need Scatter and an existing EOS account (if you interested, you already have one), once you done with Scatter by inserting your EOS keys you are ready to go in the next step. Now you have to visit Bloks.io and log in with Scatter, then you will be able to see various information about your EOS account such as the tokens you hold and your resources. You only have to click on REX menu and see the available options.

Then go to: Borrow CPU/NET

Set the recieving account and the amounts you want spent to Borrow CPU/NET and click Borrow from REX

That's it, you just borrowed 19.13 EOS CPU and 19.31 EOS NET with 0.005 EOS each! Now you account will have the necessary resources to operate normally without "LIMIT CPU/NET" errors!
This is the simplest way to do it but not the only one, you can always visit directly EOSREX (but there you have to do some actions that may confuse you), or if you are a mobile user using TokenPocket by doing the some simple steps with the help of the following PhotoGuide!

Just go to resources--->REX, deposit some funds and follow the steps bellow!
