create_account(account_name, registrar=None, referrer='1.2.35641', referrer_percent=50, owner_key=None, active_key=None, memo_key=None, owner_account=None, active_account=None, password=None, additional_owner_keys=None, additional_active_keys=None, additional_owner_accounts=None, additional_active_accounts=None, proxy_account='proxy-to-self', storekeys=True, **kwargs)[source]

Create new account on BitShares.

The brainkey/password can be used to recover all generated keys (see bitsharesbase.account for more details.

By default, this call will use default_account to register a new name account_name with all keys being derived from a new brain key that will be returned. The corresponding keys will automatically be installed in the wallet.

Warning

Don’t call this method unless you know what you are doing! Be sure to understand what this method does and where to find the private keys for your account.

Note

Please note that this imports private keys (if password is present) into the wallet by default. However, it does not import the owner key for security reasons. Do NOT expect to be able to recover it from the wallet if you lose your password!

Parameters:
  • account_name (str) – (required) new account name
  • registrar (str) – which account should pay the registration fee (defaults to default_account)
  • owner_key (str) – Main owner key

finalizeOp(ops, account, permission, **kwargs)

This method obtains the required private keys if present in the wallet, finalizes the transaction, signs it and broadacasts it

Parameters:
  • ops (operation) – The operation (or list of operaions) to broadcast
  • account (operation) – The account that authorizes the operation
  • permission (string) – The required permission for signing (active, owner, posting)

… note:: append_to is exposed to every method used in the
this class

… note:

If ``ops`` is a list of operation, they all need to be
signable by the same key! Thus, you cannot combine ops
that require active permission with ops that require
posting permission. Neither can you use different
accounts for different operations!
… note:: This uses txbuffer as instance of
transactionbuilder.TransactionBuilder. You may want to use your own txbuffer

Note if preimage param is provided, this value SHOULD be either zero or match exactly the length of the preimage, else an irredeemable htlc will be created. Optionally, a sentinal value of -1 can be used to compute length automatically from the preimage param.
