Guide to Securely Participate in the Auctus Pre-Sale

The Auctus pre-sale is opening on Oct 3rd. Please carefully read our pre-sale conditions and rules. In this post, we’ll provide instructions for purchasing with Mist, Parity, MyEtherWallet, and Metamask.

Trusted Sources for the Token Sale Address

You can double-check information on following sources:

Website: https://auctus.org — Once the sale is live, the token address will be posted on the website.

Blog: https://medium.com/auctus

Twitter: https://twitter.com/auctusproject

DO NOT TRUST other sources, direct messages or slackbot reminders in our Slack channel.

Pre-sale information

Pre-sale will start on October 3, 2017 at 2pm GMT

Only approved whitelist addresses can participate, check address here: https://auctus.org/check

During the entire pre-sale (72 hours), the individual maximum cap is 10 ETH

We will use ENS to disclose the address. The registered name is auctusproject.eth. If your wallet does not support ENS, please go to https://etherscan.io/address/auctusproject.eth to get the address.

Recommended gas limit is 150,000.

Please find some important security reminders below:

DO NOT TRUST direct messages or slackbot reminders in our Slack channel. There are a lot of phishing attempts!

DO NOT send ETH directly from an exchange, otherwise your AUC tokens might never be recovered. We recommend to use a wallet from MyEtherWallet.com or any other wallet in which you have access to your private keys.

No need to rush, as everyone is subject to an individual cap during the entire pre-sale (72 hours).

There is no need to increase default gas price (or the value you are used to). Unless there is an unusual traffic in the Ethereum network, 10 gwei should be enough to get the transaction confirmed in a few minutes.
