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

in eos •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi Sandwich. I've been looking for an answer to this question everywhere and cannot find much talk about this anywhere. Maybe its taboo to talk publicly about idk, so sorry if so. I'm recent to the crypto world so any information on this is appreciated! My friend that introduced me to crypto is US citizen, and trading ETH for EOS through the blockchain, and he is saying that I should do the same. I see a lot of instructions from people on how to get EOS as a US citizen, but never see any comments or videos explaining anything about my below question. I understand US citizens are blocked from purchasing EOS from the site for the reasons that we've all read about. Also I see online that many are contributing ETH to the EOS address through the ETH blockchain using MEW. If/when they register their EOS key through their MEW to validate their tokens, will that show from their wallet that they are US citizens, and flag their purchases of EOS as fraudulent? And can/will block.one be looking for this and void their purchases? Or is this way of obtaining EOS through the blockchain ok to do, and after registering EOS key, there is no risk of having your purchase voided? or is the restriction only cared about and being enforced by the government? I havnt seen much of any conversation about this. Surely people getting EOS that way have to be worried about being shown as a US citizen somehow, when trying to claim their EOS tokens after ICO ends. Will he have any issues keeping his trades from ETH to EOS valid? For this reason i've been skeptical about transferring any ETH to EOS.

This is protection for Block.one. It is illegal for US Citizens to participate in ICOs, it is not illegal for you to buy tokens on the secondary market.
