I admit these things can make me nervous and when you have not used an interface before it can be even more nerve racking especially when you feel that you may have missed part of the process and you have lost your money due to a simple mistake.

Here is a run through on how to generate your keys, register and send ETH to the EOS Token Distribution which is now open.

The Process

Step 1 - Take a deep breath and go to http://eos.io/ and click on "tokens" on the home page and then click on "get EOS" - Read all instructions, terms and conditions.

Step 2 - Generate EOS Key here - EOS Key Generator

Step 3 - Save generated EOS Keys in two places because when you close the window they will be gone (screen shot and save to file)

Step 4 - Go to MyEtherWallet and click CONTRACTS

Step 5 - Access EOS contract from drop down list

Step 6 - Click 'select a function" and 'register' your EOS PUBLIC KEY

Step 7 - Enter - Send 0 / Gas 90000 - click 'Generate Transaction"

Step 8 - Go to "Send Ether & Tokens" page

Step 9 - Send to Address = 0xd0a6E6C54DbC68Db5db3A091B171A77407Ff7ccf

Step 10 - Your chosen amount (Example: 10 ETH)

Step 11 - Gas 90000

Step 12 - Data field is optional (I put in my public address for a reference)

Step 13 - Generate Transaction

Step 14 - Send Transaction

Step 15 - Congratulate yourself for buying EOS

Step 16 - Wait until the buying window has closed for that specific period that you purchased within - First buying window is 5 days. The next will be 23 hours each respectively until all 341 day windows have been completed.

Step 17 - Claim tokens after window has closed.
