And for the newbies.... please please please follow the instructions step-by-step. We love having you guys join the community and want you to stick around and help us continue to grow this coin. The Snapshot is really easy to use IF you follow the instructions! Trust me, I have used the Snapshot before and it saves a lot of time.
And to add to the response about keeping coins on Cryptopia instead... I would not recommend that at all. A few months back, some evil person(s) decided to dump about 9 billion Zeit on the market and crashed us to sub-satoshi levels. That was what prompted Cryptopia, due to their existing policy, to suspend our Zeit/BTC pairing. As you can see, we have more than recovered from that, however, as they have not reinstated the BTC pairing and have now suspended all LTC and Doge markets until further notice, it is pointless to have Zeit there. If you are trying to sell them, move them to either Alcurex, Trade Satoshi, or SouthXchange. If you plan to HODL, then leaving them on an exchange is robbing you of earning interest on your stash.
