Today I’m going to show you how to register your EOS tokens if you purchased them on an exchange. Also, if you are a citizen of the U.S. or China, there is a third party app that can help you out as well.
Ultimately this process will be mapping the Ethereum address that contains your EOS tokens to a new set of EOS public and private keys so that when the EOS Mainnet launches and the snapshot is taken, your tokens will be registered and approved to use on the EOS platform. Once this happens, any EOS that aren’t registered will be Non-transferrable on the Ethereum Blockchain.
Tips for making this process easier for you:* Move all of your EOS tokens from the exchange and store them in a wallet in which you have complete control, for example: MetaMask.
* Store all of your EOS tokens in one wallet so you only have to register that one ETH address.
If you are in the U.S. or China, and you are not able to view the EOS.io website, in the section that informs you of the process for taking part in the crowd sale and how to register your tokens, this third party app will work for you, it does leave a bit to be desired in regards to design, but it’s meant for utility.
First thing, move your EOS tokens onto a secure wallet which you have control of the private keys. Again, in this case, the wallet will be MetaMask. If you are not in the U.S. or China, go to eos.io and scroll down to the “Get EOS” button.
From here you’ll have to confirm that you are not a citizen of the U.S. or China. You can scroll down until you see “Participation Instructions” and click on the “Register” tab. Please read through these guidelines so you fully understand this process and what will happen if you miss the deadline.Since I am using MetaMask for this tutorial I will click on the MetaMask button.
Unlock your MetaMask wallet and navigate to the account that is holding your EOS tokens.
Once that’s done, click on the EOS Token Distribution button.
After the page is done loading, click on the “Register EOS Key” button.
This is the important information you’re going to want to back up and keep safe.
You’ll see your EOS public key listed first, and below this is your private key. Write both of these down, or print them out and store them safely.
To confirm your private key, you’ll need to copy and paste them into the space provided. Make sure that the private key was copied and pasted correctly and click on the “I have safely backed up my private key” button.
From here you will receive a notification in your MetaMask wallet to submit the transaction. Since this will cost gas to complete, you’ll need some Ethereum in this wallet to complete the transaction. In this case, it will cost about $1.50.
It might take a few minutes to go through unless you pump up the amount of gas you want to spend, but once the transaction goes through the screen will show the contract address, the Ethereum account that you registered, the EOS public key and the token balances. The listing of the Ethereum account is proof that this address is now mapped to the EOS public key (and subsequently the private key which you saved earlier. Any EOS that are stored in this wallet are now going to be included in the snapshot in June.
Now that you have registered your Ethereum address with your newly created EOS public and private keys, you’ll need to go and look up your username that will be assigned to this address upon the genesis block of the EOS blockchain. This is the final piece of information you’ll need to solidify and prove that you have indeed mapped your ethereum address to your newly created EOS public and private keys.
Once we buy on binance and transfer to MEW, what needs to be done?
EOS, worth it? Why?
So why not just use Exodus and register? Confused. Cant be a US holder? WTF?
As someone that isnt tech savvy….this is a real pain…just gonna sell them and buy them back on binance…hell of a lot easier.
never invest in a token with the 666 symbols
What does it mean non transferable? does it mean it will loss value?
Hey you know ? Exodus one click registration is live ?try
Is the site for Account Lookup & Get Your Username working? I put my adresses there and the site just reboot.
Metamask is not a wallet, its a google chrome plugin protocol that interfaces with My Etherwallet
Way too much trouble for average users. This was a big screw up
This is a great way to scare away investors
is it safe to leave EOS tokens on Binance through the whole process without registering?
Helllo dear. Question if I may. I got all the way to securing public key for EOS tokens. You last piece of advice was entering pub key to retrieve a user name. Where do I find that’s? It appears from this vid it is somewhere on their website. Looked and looked but cannot find it. Can you please help/suggest? Thank you
"It does not appear that (eos generated address) is in the snapshot" shows up when I drop my eos address into https://eosio.github.io/genesis/tools. Is this because the snapshot will not be taken until June? Thanks.
Thanks for the tips. Why are there issues with US and Chinese registration?
do i have to register Tron the same way in anticipation of their March 31 release?
Where do i go to lookup my username that is assigned to my eos address?
Eos aka burning man token
why brave browser and not Tor?
"Decentralize Everything." Unless doing would offend a powerful, central government. Because that would be wrong.
Thanks for the heads up, CT. A quick question…..and this may sound silly….. but wouldn't it be easier to just sell your EOS tokens on the Ethereum platform before 1-June-2018 and buy them back after this date on the EOS platform? Or am I missing something?
I already have my EOS tokens in my Exodus wallet…. Do I still need to do this?
looks like the time to buy EOS will be in June, looks like everyone is selling LOL
Thanks, as always, for an awesome video. It's much appreciated. Having said that, I'm in the camp that's just going to sell my EOS tokens. I really dislike having to jump through hoops like this. I think I'll trade my EOS for some more Litecoin. One of the things that I like about cryptos is the privacy. Registering stuff rubs me the wrong way.
Binance will swop the tokens no worry for personal wallet and keys
What about exodus wallet???
I used MEW for registration then moved eos to exodus. Is that ok since the exodus address is obviously different than MEW address or do I need to send them back to MEW for the snapshot on June 1? Thx for the videos!
Thanks
When does this need to be done by?
Thanks so much!!! I had no idea we needed to do this. You may have saved my butt!
Wow, what a pain in the ass! Maybe I’ll just sell EOS instead.
Why should i do that?
I use shapeshift on jaxx wallet.. How can I transfer and register my EOS from jaxx?
Thank you for your video! Great as always! I was not able to complete the last step. Once I submit my public key or ETH address it gives me a message that " it does not appear that …xxxx… is in the snapshot". Anyone has the same problem? Thanx!
What if we used a shapeshift wallet like (EXODUS) to obtain EOS Tokens?
I don't think you can get your username in the last part until the snapshot has happened on june 1st.
Surfs up!!!!
This is WAY TOO COMPLICATED!
No way I can do what you did by myself.
I don’t even use those wallets.
I like EOS, but it seems that I have no other choice but to sell my EOS before the deadline. Frustrating.
Thank you for the video! very instructive! You reminded me to finalize my registration. However, I did not understand well the last part of this video: how to look up the username…. Do U have any link where I can find more info on that please ?
Nazare, Portugal, Nice palce 🙂
<3
When does the mainnet launch
I got my eos on exodus wallet. Do I need to do anything anything?
Awesome tip!!
