If you are looking to purchase Reggie Middleton's new token offering Veritaseum (VERI), here's what you need to do STEP by STEP:
Go to this website: https://etherdelta.github.io/#VERI-ETH
Go to the top right bar of the site and click to sign up for a new account to get your Ether Delta Wallet. This is fast and nearly automatic. You will be given a wallet address and private key. You MUST safely store your private key.
One you have a wallet address on Ether Delta, you will need to send some ETH to this wallet from your Coinbase waller or My Ether Wallet, etc.
Once this transfer is complete, you will see this ETH showing up in your Ether Delta Wallet on the left side of the screen in the "balance" box in the "wallet" column next to the "ETH" symbol.
After you have received the ETH into you Ether Delta Wallet, you will have to "deposit" it to Ether Delta.
This is accomplished by clicking "deposit" in the "balance" box and then entering the amount of ETH you wish to use for your buy order in the "amount" box under the "ETH" symbol in the "balance" box.
*** PLEASE NOTE*** YOU MUST LEAVE ENOUGH ETH IN YOUR WALLET TO COVER THE GAS FEE TO MAKE THE TRANSACTION. I don't know for sure how much that needs to be, but I have made transactions successfully leaving .038 ETH in my wallet.
Allow a few minutes for the deposit to be made. When it is made, you will see your deposit show up in the "Ether Delta" column of the "balance" box next above the blue "deposit" icon in the "ETH" section of the the "balance" box.
Now, go to the top navigation bar on this page (light grey section) over toward the right side next to the Ether Delta Logo and company name, to make sure you see "VERI". If not, select the drop down arrow and choose VERI from the drop down menu.
NEXT to VERI, your should see ETH. If not, select the drop down arrow and choose ETH from the drop down menu.
Now, you are set up to place your order. Hurray! Congratulate yourself for getting this far :)!!
Go to the "new order" section of the page.
Here, you will enter the amount of VERI tokens that you wish to buy in the VERI "amount to buy" field.
In the "VERI/ETH" field, you will enter the price you want to pay.
Then, the amount of ETH required to make the purchase you want to make will be auto-populated in the "ETH" field.
You can leave the "expires" field as is, unless you understand how to and want to change the length of time you would like your buy order to remain active.
When you are satisfied with your buy order, click on the green "buy" button to complete your order.
In a few moments, check the "transactions" box to see your buy order placed. If you wish to cancel your order you can also do this from the transactions box.
PLESE NOTE As this is a decentralized exchange, your order is not immediately processed. Instead your order is placed in front of others who may wish to sell and then select your buy order. If you wish to make an immediate purchase, you will need to select one of the sell orders, which are those listed in red in the order book. The green listings are other buy orders (in essence, your competition for sellers attention). The most recent trades that have been made and completed are shown in the "trades" column all the way to the right side of the page.
I am out of time now for this post, but will try to update or post another post about how to transfer the VERI tokens out of Ether Delta and other tidbits I have picked up in this crazy, awesome crypto journey.
Please let me know any other questions or improvements to this as I see many people trying to figure out how to do this and would love to help more :)
