How to buy eos ram
How to buy more RAM on EOS
hello everyone and welcome to this video
about buying RAM on eels if you have
been using eels in the past you may be
familiar with a little error message
that you get when you try to set a
contract and you get the error message
your account has insufficient RAM it
needs 82,000 bars has 51,000 bytes and
this of course when you try to deploy to
either the test net or the maintenance
and this is due to a feature in the in
the POS blockchain where you have to
purchase Ram in order to use for her in
order for your smart contract to use it
so you don't have unlimited amounts of
RAM and you don't pay per transaction as
you do in etherium so instead you
purchase Ram for market price and this
is a bit different from how eels
allocate CPU and the network resources
since those are distributed according to
how much a OS you have staked in the
network but with Ram it's different you
buy them at market price instead of this
sharing module model and in this video I
thought I would show you how you can in
an easy way
buy more RAM to the to your test net
accounts or to your main it accounts it
is the same process you'll need the
scatter but I have showed you how to
installed scatter in a previous video so
you should be all good to go but make
sure you have that installed in Chrome
or whatever browser you are using and
then we're gonna go to EOS toolkit dial
and here you wanna change network so
that you are connected to the jungle
test net hit select and then you'll get
a scatter window here where you'll
select your identity so you have
imported the keys that you need for the
jungle net because you must have an
account and key keeper already and you
must have imported them into scatter
select identity and hit accept and
then we get the information here about
our account so you can see I have 9999
heels tokens
I have 51,000 by its own of RAM I have
100,000 Rodrigo state for my CPU
bandwidth and 100 for the net bandwidth
in order to buy more RAM you go under
manage account so you click on manage
accounts and then you click on buy Ram
here enter the receipt of the RAM so in
my case it's Phillip because that's the
name of my account as you can see here
and you can either purchase specify you
want to purchase in EOS or how much is
you want to spend or how many bytes you
want to buy and let's see how much did I
need so I let's say I need 50,000
additional bytes of memory in order to
the police contract so 50,000 and then
it purchase you will get another window
from scatter where you can sign this
transaction so hit accept you can just
check so everything is correct here but
hit accept and let me see success and
all of a sudden I no longer have these
50,000 bites I have a hundred and one
thousand bytes in my account that means
that I should now be able to deploy this
contract to my account so set contract I
have a contract for hello storage and
then I set it to my account Philip to
the jungle net and there we go no longer
did we have this problem with
insufficient RAM instead we were able to
publish this contract and that was all I
wanted to show you for this video if you
instead want to do this on the minute it
is the exact same procedure just that
you have to change the network to the
may net and you'll have to have those
keys and identities in your scatter and
have enough euros tokens so that you can
buy more ram that is all you need to do
so I hope that you've learned something
from this video and good luck with all
of your Els development please leave a
like if you liked the video and leave a
comment saying what you want me to talk
about in the next video I appreciate all
of your feedback
take care guys and I'll see you in the
next video
