Using Ethereum and other blockchains isn’t always as easy and straight forward as we would like it to be.
This tutorial will take you by the hand so you can safely participate in the rICO without any headaches 🙌

TrustWallet is a mobile wallet that lets you interact with the cryptocurrency world. It gives you access to a wide range of blockchains and stores your private keys locally on your device.
TrustWallet is available for Android and IOS.

How to send your Ether to the rICO contract

If you’re unfamiliar with buying/owning cryptocurrencies you can refer to our article on how and where to buy ETH here.

  1. Open your TrustWallet and create a new Ethereum transaction.
  2. Insert the address of the rICO contract as the “Recipient Address”
    👉 rico.eth
  3. Fill in the amount of ETH you want to contribute (minimum contribution is 0.001 ETH).
  4. On the right upper corner of the confirmation page, you will find the transaction settings.

4. Change the Gas limit to 👉 4500000
5. Type in the Hexdata 👉 0x3C7A3AFF
6. Recheck all the information and confirm the Transaction

How to add the LYXe Token to TrustWallet

LYXe is the representation of LYX on the Ethereum Blockchain
  1. Go back to the Menu and click on the plus sign in the right upper corner
  2. Scroll down until you see “Add Custom Token”
  3. Paste in the LYXe Token Contract address:
    👉0xA8b919680258d369114910511cc87595aec0be6D

3.1 If the Name, Symbol, and Decimals won’t fill in automatically here is what you need to insert
Name: LYXe
Symbol: LYXe
Decimals: 18

How to return “returnable LYXe”

If you want to return your reserved LYX, you can just send your returnable LYXe to the rICO contract. You can check the balance of your reserved LYX on the “Check balance” field on the rICO website.

To exchange your returnable LYXe for the corresponding ETH just send the Tokens back to the rICO contract.

  1. Create a LYXe transaction
  2. Insert the Number of LYXe Tokens you want to return and insert the rICO contract Adresse
    👉rico.eth
  3. Go to “Advanced” and change the Gas Limit to 👉450000
  4. Confirm the Transaction, it will take a couple of minutes until your ETH show up in the wallet.

How to get your “pending” ETH back

After you contributed your ETH to the rICO they will be pending until your KYC is approved. You have two weeks to complete the KYC, after that time your ETH will be sent back to you.
If you decide against completing the KYC process, and you want to get your ETH back faster you can do the following:

  1. Create a new Ethereum transaction with your corresponding wallet.
  2. Insert the address of the rICO contract as the “Recipient Address”
    👉rico.eth
    and send 👉 0.00001 ETH or less (as in Picture 1)
  3. On the right upper corner of the confirmation page, you will find the transaction settings.

4. Change the “Gas Limit” to 👉 200000
5. Recheck all the information and confirm the Transaction

DO NOT EDIT “Gas Price” OR “Nonce” TrustWallet ADJUSTS THEM AUTOMATICALLY!
