  1. R you have sent your Bitcoin (or LTC, Dash,…) Transaction go to your App/Wallet/Page and look for the “Sign a Message” function.

Your wallet should offer this function if you are holding the private key.

Not recommended (as we most likely are not able to deliver tokens there — if you do send it from there, you have to contact their support and handle this directly):
ANY exchanges (f.ex. Kraken, Coinbase etc)
Jaxx (no signing possible, no support for ERC20)

2. Make sure you know your “FROM” address (your own address you sent from.

3. Insert/Choose your FROM address, and type your Ethereum address into the message field.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT put ANY text in the message, just your ETH address (otherwise you will get an error from our system):

4. Check if your Ethereum address is correct (this cannot be changed afterwards) and confirm your signature.

5. You will get a Signature. Copy everything from “Begin Signature” until “End Signature”.

6. Copy the Signature and post it together with your from address and ETH address (that you just used in the signature message into the form on our Website.

DONE!

Where to go from here?

During the Token Sale Period, our Slack will give out all official infos on the #announcements channel. If you have questions, you can ask on the #general channel.

When can you see your SNP tokens?

After you have sent the funds and handed your ethereum address, you can check your token balance for that address on https://ico.snapup.biz/balance
Please allow up to 20 minutes for your balance to show.

You can use any wallet where you hold your private key. However, your wallet might not be able to show the token, which also means you cannot trade the tokens from there. So what you would then need to do is insert your private key in a wallet that can (f.ex. MyEtherWallet). But the tokens would definitely be there.
