Veritaseum Token Tutorial
In order to use anything on the Ethereum network a person needs to have an Ethereum account. The easiest way to do this, is with MyEtherWallet
-
Generate an Ethereum Account
-
Step 1
Click on Generate Wallet and enter a good password. You will always be able to regenerate the same account from the same password.
Click download and save the json file BUT keep this file safe and private. Any person who gets their hands on this file can now access your account, so store it safely.
Open the file and look at ciphertext. This value is your private key. This private key is the part that MUST be kept secret.
Copy this ciphertext/private key into memory and go to the View Wallet Info tab at the top of the page.
Select the Private Key radio button and paste your private key into the box. Click Unlock.
Now you can access your Ethereum account! It is here that you will find your Ethereum address, view the balance that this account has in it, view any tokens that it has, and other interesting things also.
-
Get Ether
As you can see, new accounts do not hold any Ether and you will have to get some.
Click on the Swap tab at the top of the page to exchange your bitcoins for Ether. Alternatively you may use ShapeShift. Be aware that this method is more expensive than sourcing Eth of exchanging it through an established token exchange, ie. Poloniex or Coinbase.
Exchange for VERI Tokens
Once you have some Ether, you are ready to exchange those Ether for Veritaseum Tokens! One VERI Token costs 0.03333333333 Ether, so for one Ether you get 30 VERI Tokens!
The ICO crowdfunding stage is from 2017 April 25th 9:30 EST (14:30 UTC) and lasts for 31 days. There is even a 20% discount for tokens purchased on day one (after the start), a 10% discount for tokens purchased on day two (after the start), and every consecutive day the discounted rate will reduce by 1% per day until the normal price is reached (day 12)!
The VeritaseumToken smart contract is an Ethereum ERC20 compliant token, which means that you can exchange VERI tokens on any Ethereum based exchange.
