After a successful round of financing through the sale of the cryptoactive AE, which raised the not inconsiderable sum of $ 36,960,594, Aeternity announces the distribution of its tokens . And so that there are no errors in the process, has published an access guide for users.
While tokens have already been effectively deployed , the development team behind Aeternity is making sure there are no drawbacks to the deployment before the AE crypto-assets are transferable. Meanwhile, users can check their balance in two ways, depending on whether the purchase during the ICO was made in ethers or bitcoins.
SHOPPING IN ETHERS
The Aeternity team makes it clear that any Ether portfolio that supports ERC-20 tokens , standard on which AEs are registered, will work to access currencies. In case you have created a portfolio using MyEtherWallet or wallet.aeternity.com, you can open your portfolio using your 12-word pass phrase, your private key, using a .JSON file or through a hardware portfolio . Having accessed, you would normally be able to observe your AE balance.
Otherwise, you will need to add the AE as a custom currency by pressing the "Add Custom Token" button on the bottom and right side of the page and follow the next steps.
Enter the following contract address in the address field: 0x5CA9a71B1d01849C0a95490Cc00559717fCF0D1d (You can see the contract in Etherscan.io )
In the "Token Symbol" field, enter: AE; in the field "decimals", writes: 18; press save. Once done, you should be able to observe your balance in AE cryptoactive and, when this option is enabled, make transactions. For the latter, you would need to add a "To" address, select AE from the drop-down menu and enter the amount in the corresponding field. Then, click on "Generate Transaction".
In the following video you can see an example of access and transfer of tokens, being important to emphasize that the example was developed in network of test, although the process is the same in the main network of Ethereum .
SHOPPING IN BITCOINS
In the case of users who bought their AE with bitcoins, the process is a little longer because it will be necessary to create an Ethereum portfolio from your address and private key / seed. For this, the team of Aeternity offers a series of tools that can be downloaded in this link . Also, you can follow the steps highlighted in the following explanatory video:
Once the portfolio is created, the steps to follow are the same as those mentioned earlier in the ethers shopping guide. In case you observe a different balance from the one observed in wallet.aeternity.com, Aeternity warns against certain errors that resulted the integration between its web API and CryptoCompare, com, platform that provided the historical indexes of foreign currency during the second phase of the ICO . In this link , you will find a guide on how to solve it according to your case.
In case you have sent your bitcoins using a cold wallet, you have two options. You can use both the seed of the devices and access through MyEtherWallet.com using a custom derivation path.
In the first option, using the Ledger or Trezor hardware portfolios, you must enter in the first toolbox the 24 words you wrote during the configuration of the portfolio , and write the address from which you participated in the ICO in the following box tools.
For the second option, just log in to myetherwallet.com, press "Send Ether and Tokens" and then select Trezor. Connect the device and then press "Connect to Trezor". It will open a window in which you must click on the "Export" button; then you must enter your Trezor PIN. A new dialog box will open and prompt you to select the correct derivation path; the Aeternity team recommends using a custom bypass route m / 44 '/ 0' / 0 '/ 0. Select the address from which you participated and unlock your wallet. With this, you should already have access to your cryptoactive.
It is important to note that the Aeternity team has identified a false contract address for AE , so we insist that the correct contract address is: 0x5CA9a71B1d01849C0a95490Cc00559717fCF0D1d
