EOS Token - Complete Video Guide

in eos •  7 years ago 

Scope: This is a non-technical video aimed at people who are new to ETH token purchases.

Purpose: Make a video that is in many way essential to non-technical folks so they can participate in this exciting ICO!

Objective: EOS token sale has attracted a large number of people towards the crowd sale. This sale is set to last at least for one year. Yet I could not find a video aimed at novice purchaser. So I have made this video hoping it will benefit people new to ETH token sale and also keen in getting their hands on EOS token.

Notes: For loading the token into both MetaMask and MyEtherWallet, the following details were used:
Token Address - 0x86fa049857e0209aa7d9e616f7eb3b3b78ecfdb0
Decimals - 18
Symbol - EOS

About the Video:

This video is in following parts:

  • Getting started with EOS token purchase
  • My previous video about how to get into EOS Token Distribution site.
  • Generating Keys
  • Purchase of EOS token with few common error scenarios.
  • Verifying whether your token was purchased via MetaMask wallet itself
  • Verifying token purchase via *Etherscan.io -> Read Contract -> balanceOf function*
  • Adding token to My Ether Wallet.
  • Loading token amount purchased to My Ether Wallet.


Credits: Part 4a of this tutorial is based on this post by @lenn; I used 8 decimals previously as opposed to 18 and never got the tokens in my MetaMask wallet prior to these instructions!

Disclaimer: I am not tied to EOS core team and neither is this a purchase advise. Please do your own research before making any token purchase.

Request: I am new to video blogging and am not a techie with regards to EOS/ ETH tokens. Apologies for any incorrect terminologies used or video glitches that bothered you!

Great guide glad I helped! I know a lot of people were having trouble claiming their tokens with metamask and it was not clear how to fix it. Could have traded a lot earlier!

...now if only their website would work lol

I had 100% success using their custom RPC channel (like I describe in section 1b of this video). Thank you for the comment @lenn

I tried yesterday with the RPC and it was still bugged. I'll give it a shot then

I bought a little EOS a few months ago and it has done very well. Wish I had more. I had read some concerns about its sustainability, but hope it continues to do well.

Thanks for the post.
