This tutorial helped me with Generate EOS Token part. Thank you!
I upvote this one but someone has already created great tutorials about eos before. @dawidrams check his posts https://steemit.com/howto/@dawidrams/how-to-buy-eos-using-metamask-plugin-tutorial-for-tomorrow-s-ico
https://steemit.com/howto/@dawidrams/tutorial-how-to-prepare-for-the-ico-of-eos-tomorrow
none of those cover metamask or how to buy ether etc...
do you need to export private key with this EOS sale or does metamask do that on Auto with this interface? Will you do another showing how to get the EOS tokes to the wallet?
I'm quite new to the whole ICO thing. How is the EOS ICO cost compared to what it costs on a typical exchange?
here are all stats http://www.eosscan.io/
Thanks, I'll check it out.
An absolute RESTEEM and UPVOTE
thank you for sharing
Nice one I got in and was wondering why the claim eos tokens tab was greyed out! I did think it was after the phase ends which you have confirmed! Thanks and nice post!
There is one thing that I'm not sure about. Now I have EOS key and also I have the MetaMask key. Which one should I use to claim my tokens on the EOS chain ?

If I sent eth first before generating an eos key, am I OK as long as I generate a key before this first period ends? I only need that once I need to claim the tokens, correct?
The definitive guide, excellent!
