What you need to know about mapping an EOS Public Key to an Ethereum address

in eos •  7 years ago 

@sandwich your tutorials and explanations are absolutely valuable and extremely helpful. I figured out how to do all 3 steps using metamask on my own and was left scratching my head wondering if I got it all correct. Turns out I did, but still would not have known it, had I not found your posts So thanks a million for that.
I found this post after copying the exact portion from the larger one in order to ask you my last plaguing question. Does it matter if the EOS ERC-20 tokens are purchased directly through the crowd sale, through an exchange, or through changelly as long as they are deposited in the ETH account mapped to the EOS address (I hold the private keys to)? The way I think I understand this is that the ERC-20 tokens represent a promise in a smart contract to exchange EOS tokens for to a mapped address on the EOS blockchain after the crowd sale ends in jun/jul 2018? I just don't know how the contract sees the ERC-20 tokens for the snapshot?
Thanks again for the great contribution to all of us not quite so techie ones.

Good! As long as the tokens are in a wallet that is mapped to the public key of your EOS keypair, you're good. Doesn't matter where the EOS ERC20 tokens are purchased from.

Thanks, I am pretty sure I am beginning to grasp the whole EOS "idea"? It is so brilliant I am kind of in awe of people who can think this far in advance of the rest of us. Your steemit posts are incredibly helpful and inspiring. You have a gift for simplifying the complex. I will be watching for your new content. Hope you don't stop writing. . .even if immature people post comments to them lol
peace

Would you like to see my bunghole?

Can you explain how you did it in metamask? I can't find anything explaining this. Only MEW. Thanks.

You do it on mew, with metamask. Metamask doesn't do the job, it only validates for mew.
