Hi everyone

As you know, everyone is in the middle of hustling their way into getting themselves some sweet, sweet EOS tokens.

After many refreshes I have managed to buy some. However when I go and generate my key, then re-confirm my private key

another metamask window pops up saying I have inefficient funds

Just wanted to know if this is normal and if its just that i need to wait till the end of the 5 day window and hopefully this will help clear some questions from other Steemians that are stuck on the same page.

Thanks Steem community!

Regards Jeffrey

You have to pay the transaction fee for registering the key. It's basically calling the contract like a normal transaction. I had the same problem, and I lowered the gas limit until I could pay it. It went through and seemed to work. Hope I could help you!

thank you so much it worked !!
