How to buy EOS using MetaMask plugin - tutorial for tomorrow's ICO
Chrome + MetaMask
I posted earlier today about how to participate in the EOS crowdsale using MyEtherWallet but some people asked my to also do a tutorial for MetaMask. This should be more straightforward because you can use EOS interface which will be available tomorrow.
What you need is Chrome because MetaMask is a Chrome plugin.
Go to https://metamask.io/ and get the plugin.
Set your password.
Copy 12 words on paper or take a photo and store on a pendrive. Make sure to save them in few independent locations/drives.
Now to make transaction you will use EOS interface which will be available tomorrow here: https://eos.io/information (scroll down to see it)
Also claiming part will be much easier than using MyEtherWallet:
The EOS tokens will be reserved for you to claim when the period completes.
Contract address: available on June 26th, 2017 at 13:00 UTC
ABI / JSON Interface: available on June 26th, 2017 at 13:00 UTC
If you are using google chrome and have MetaMask installed, you can claim it using the interface.
Don't get scammed!
How to protect your coins. Too many scams floating around trying to steal your crypto.

You will be able to use EOS interface which will make buying process easier.
nice post!
Thanks for the tip. Even though I think EOS is going to be huge I'm sitting it out. Call me crazy. I'm thinking it's going to give a big boost to Bitshares & Steem too. Get ready!
Yes I hope that Steem and Steemit will benfit from it.
Kudos to you. This was the missing manual for tomorrow's EOS ICO.
Yup :)
Big day tomorrow :) Great tutorials coming from you dawid.
