Hey kcfrau,
Do you mind going into a bit more detail around what this actually means?
If you hold EOS Tokens in an Ethereum account and fail to register your Ethereum address to your EOS public key, then your EOS Tokens may not be part of a Snapshot a third party may wish to create when the EOS Tokens become fixed and non-transferable on the Ethereum blockchain. In order to be part of such Snapshot, it is important that you generate an EOS public and private key pair and register your EOS public key with your Ethereum address prior to the EOS Tokens becoming fixed and non-transferable on the Ethereum blockchain which will occur within 23 hours after the end of the final period on June 1, 2018 at 22:59:59 UTC.
Thanks for this mate. Appreciate the detail.
Thanks kcfrau.
Does this mean that the EOS tokens must be off the exchange and in a wallet like MEW so these addresses can be seen in the 'Snapshot'? Or can this all be done on an exchange like Bitfinex?
I know I can generate a public address for my EOS tokens on Bitfinex but I'm not sure about the private key and where to actually register this? On the EOS website somewhere, perhaps?
Sorry about all of the questions! I hope you can help me clarify the above.
Thank you!
