Okay so this post is going to be a bit casual but I will forward it to Sean so they can make a nice tutorial with some screenshots.
Doing this now will have no effect because the SNAPSHOT of the top 500 has not been taken yet. When it is, everyone who qualifies will be set in stone.If you are in the top 500, you will know by looking at:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bay/#!richYou can scroll to the bottom and ask for top 100/500
Ok now there are a few scenarios. The first is if your coins are on an exchange. This is obviously not ideal because it makes it much harder to confirm
you are the owner of said coins. I don't advise on this and Sean has given his own protocol for that mostly relating to Upbit.
So I'm going to cover both the QT and the Markets Wallet redemption process.
First you will need an ETH address for receiving ETH tokens and will want to have your wallet watch for the custom token.
Instructions for that are found here:
https://medium.com/adbank-blog/how-to-add-a-custom-token-to-myetherwallet-fc4f17840dedOkay so your ETH address will be what you send to Opti so they know where to send your tokens.
If using QT wallet:Go to File->Sign Message
Select your BitBay address that qualified for the payment
Where it asks for your message, simply enter your ETH address without any spaces or extra stuff. (Because Sean will need to verify your EXACT message)
Then click sign
Send an email message to Optitoken email
The contents of the email should contain the ETH address (your message), your signature, and your BitBay address
If using Markets wallet:Your account that qualifies should be the one you have open
Go to File->Sign/Verify
In the area to enter your message, paste your ETH address without any spaces or extra stuff
Then click sign
Choose one of your keys from the account you have open that qualifies
Then copy the signature and save it somewhere
Click sign again
Choose the second key from the account you have open that qualifies
Then copy the second signature and save it somewhere
Then close that window and go to the send tab
Click on advanced sending
Click on "Copy redeem script"
Then send an email to Optitoken
The contents should be your redeem script, your ETH address and BOTH of your signatures
That should give Opti exactly what they need to prove your identity
I am assuming that Opti might want to make a more detailed tutorial involving screenshots of what I've laid out here and we can test with a custom message so
they understand the process.
