How To Register Eos Tokens With Metamask

There seems to be some confusion about registering your EOS tokens. I experienced a bit of this confusion myself. I used MyEtherWallet to contribute to the eos token distribution and managed to claim my tokens no trouble - simply it wasn't articulate how to go about generating an EOS key pair and how to map the ethereum address containing the EOS tokens to information technology.

I found a couple posts that recommend using this third political party app to generate an EOS central pair. For me using a third party modified app didn't experience right so I used the EOS Token Distribution App on the eos.io website.

Please await at https://eos.io/instructions under the "How to Participate" heading. To make your life much easier Utilize the Recommended configuration! See below:

1. Install the meta mask chrome extension
2. Open up upwards the EOS Token Distribution App

If you take properly configured meta mask then you should see the following after clicking on the "EOS Token Distribution App" push button:

As you lot tin can come across there is no EOS key currently registered to this ethereum accost. To map an EOS central to this ethereum accost:

1. Click on Generate EOS Primal

1. Back upwards the private cardinal in multiple places! You cannot recover the private key and you need it to admission your EOS tokens when the token distribution ends
2. Copy and paste the private key into the field like so
   
3. Click the I have safely backed up my private key push button
   • This executes the annals contract which will cost yous a little bit of ETH so I recommend just doing this once...unless you lot have to update your key mapping for some reason. You will run across a Meta Mask transaction window pop upwardly that looks like this:
     
4. Submit the transaction. When the registration procedure has completed successfully you should run across something similar this:
   
   • The important point here is that the EOS Public Central field at present has an EOS public key in it. Which tells me that this ETH address is mapped to that EOS address.

Oh, if yous have purchased your tokens on an commutation. You can only send your EOS tokens to the accost that you registered through the process outlined above.

I promise this helps. I can't stress plenty Go with the EOS.IO Recommended Configuration for participating in the token distribution! It really makes things a lot easier than trying to participate with MyEthWallet.
