Buy Some Ether

Get your hands on some Ether (ETH) in any way that you would like. There is a list of exchanges here:

This process may take a few days, depending on the payment method you used, so you should do it well in advance of the end of the ICO sale.

Important things to consider are:

Verification and Limits: Does the Exchange take long to verify your account and can you deposit and withdraw the amount that you would like to contribute to Fornicoin

ETH Price: Is the ETH price on the exchange favourable?

Volume: Does the exchange have enough volume to fill your order in a reasonable amount of time. You can see this for yourself by looking at the current order book and market depth.

Overall Trustworthiness: Is the exchange trustworthy and have a good track record?

Market Pairs: Can you buy ETH in the currency you want. Often you may have to buy BTC first and trade that for ETH.

Send Funds to Your Own Wallet

There are two parts here: create your wallet and send your funds. Feel free to skip if you already have a wallet where you own the private key.

Create a Wallet

It is very important to understand that you cannot participate in an ICO sale if your ether is stored in Coinbase or any other cryptocurrency exchange, the reason is that, once you send your ether to the ICO address, the tokens are assigned to that address’ private key; since services like Coinbase don’t provide you with the key, you won’t be able to move the tokens when it comes time to actually access them.

By using such services to participate in an ICO you will be effectively forfeiting your tokens to Coinbase (and they have plenty of money so don’t bother).

To avoid the case we mentioned above, you will need a proper Ethereum wallet, one where you control the private key. We recommend you to use MyEtherWallet, an open source web application that allows you to create or import an Ethereum wallet, securely. Make sure you follow all the recommendations and warnings, such as backing up your JSON Keystore file, making a backup of your private key, and triple checking you have access to your newly generated wallet before sending funds to it; as well as sending a test transaction to ensure everything is on order and works accordingly.

Once you have created your wallet, you should deposit some ether to it using the funds from your Coinbase account (or whichever broker/service you opt to use). To participate in an ICO, you will need the Ethereum contract address associated with it. It is very important that you verify this address, as you won’t be able to recover any ether sent to an incorrect address.

Send Funds to you Wallet

Once your wallet is created and backed up, go back to the exchange that you purchased your ETH from and find the withdrawals page. Request a withdrawal of the amount of ETH that you would like to contribute (and a little bit extra for the transaction fee). Copy you wallet address from MyEtherWallet and input it into the withdrawal page on the exchange.

Withdrawal speed varies depending on how busy the network and exchange is. Monitor the withdrawals history until you see a transaction showing your withdrawal.

You should be able to refresh your MyEtherWallet page now and find you ETH in front of you. Well done, now to contribute to Fornicoin.
