I guess you are hitting my post because you are like me not able to connect to the EOS distribution App with your Chrome / Metamask configuration.
After yesterday the whole day being unable to reach the distribution App, nothing worked... I tried everything yesterday:
-I tried to use the 'Custom RPC' > "http://rpc.makerdao.com:7777" and switched to the Custom RPC network. It just kept on searching for a network. Didn't work.
-I uninstalled Metamask from Chrome and reinstalled it and unlocked my account. I all different orders. Didn't work.
Closed browser and opened it. Didn't work.
-I did not try the parity node option, I am not technical enough for that....
So what now?
Just keep on trying you say? I have better things to do with my time!
But yes! I succeeded this early morning (but it's no different than all I tried yesterday):
I removed Metamask in Chrome/extensions completely and downloaded it again.
I unlocked it and launched the distribution app from https://eos.io/instructions. Did not refreshed the existing url.
After 15 min of letting my PC go for it, I suddenly came in. The app worked extremely slow though, and I had to get to work. Aaarghhh.
Now at the office try to get in, and.... doesn't work.
The solution: friend of mine at the office told the Imtoken app on your mobile device works fine. And that is what I tried this morning. There are some youtube video's about the setup and it is quite easy. One of the tutorials I found:
10 minutes and I joined today's offering! My friend showed how to claim this morning... 5 minutes and the tokens were in.
So the answer if you want to get some EOS tokens today? Imtoken!
