Sending ETH to Token Sale address

NOTE: This guide has been adapted from an original Medium article by Harith Kamarul

We have created a series of process walkthroughs providing instructions on how to participate in the Elepig Token Sale. This post covers Step 6 in the process:

1. Setting up an Exchange account to change fiat into crypto

2. Buying ETH from an Exchange

3. Setting up an address on a wallet that supports participating in Token Sales

4. Transferring ETH from an Exchange to a wallet

5. Completing Elepig Token Sale registration

6. Sending ETH to the Token Sale address

There are other wallets you may use in the crypto space. This walkthrough focuses on using MyEtherWallet.

To read on the prior step, go to Step 5: Token Sale Registration.

Sending ETH to the Token Sale address

Time to send your ETH! Remember, you will only be given instructions on how to do this once your KYC has been approved.

Step 1:

Copy the ETH wallet address from the Transfer Instructions page.

Step 2:

Open your Web Browser and navigate to: https://www.myetherwallet.com/ if that is where you decided to create your ERC-20 wallet

Note: As MyEtherWallet repeatedly warns, please check the URL: https://www.myetherwallet.com/. If your URL is different, you are likely on a phishing website.

Step 3:

Check that you are on the MyEtherWallet network.

Step 4:

Unlock your address (in this example, we use a keystore file — you may also use other methods):

1. Go to Send Ether & Tokens

2. Select Keystore File (UTC / JSON)

3. Select your Wallet File (where you saved your keystore file)

4. Enter your password

5. Select Unlock

Step 5:

Copy the token sale address shown on Step 1 and paste under To Address, followed by the amount of ETH you’d like to send under Amount to Send.

Step 6:

Click on Advanced: Add Data and enter your unique code from the Elepig site.

IMPORTANT: If you skip this step your payment will be rejected. The token smart contract uses this code to validate that you are the right person to be sending EPG back to.

The data field code comes from here in the Elepig portal:

And goes here in the MyEtherWallet send ether screen:

REMEMBER: If you skip this step your payment will be rejected. The token smart contract uses this code to validate that you are the right person to be sending EPG back to.

Click on Generate Transaction.

Step 7:

Click on Send Transaction.

Step 8:

Check the transaction details, then click Yes, I am sure!

Step 9 (Optional):

You will see this message bar appear at the bottom of your browser. You may click on Verify Transaction to verify the status of your transaction.

You will be brought to a page on Etherscan showing details of your transaction.

· Any funds sent from an address that has not been approved will not be accepted and you will pay for the gas involved.

· Any funds that is sent after the maximum cap has been reached or the Token Resale duration has ended will not be accepted and you will pay for the gas involved.

Step 9:

Getting EPG to show up in your wallet.

In MyEtherWallet you have to add EPG as a custom token in the correct wallet, then your EPG balance will be shown in that wallet.

· Go to www.myetherwallet.com.

· Login and Unlock your wallet

· Go to the “View Wallet Info” tab

· Click “Add Custom Token” on the right-hand side under “token balances,”

· Now a custom token form will appear where you need to fill the contract address, the number of decimals, and the token symbol as provided by the token creators

· Lastly, click “Save” and your tokens can be seen in MyEtherWallet.
