One of the most popular and safe Ethereum wallet is MyEtherWallet. Arguably also easy to use, MyEtherWallet is the go to solution for many of those who just got or are still learning about crypto.

If you are going to use MyEtherWallet to contribute we really should talk about safety first. Latest many hackers have been stealing keys from users that would unlock their wallets inside phishing websites. To not become one of those, please bookmark the correct link to MyEtherWallet.com and never access the website any other way. Another great tool to avoid phishing websites is this Chrome extension which can be a real life saver.

Now, let’s get to the actual part where you contribute to Vyral using your MyEtherWallet.

Step #1: Setting up your MyEtherWallet ETH address

Initially you must direct yourself to MyEtherWallet.com and select a strong enough password to protect your ETH.

After that, you’ll be directed to a page where you can dowload your JSON/UTC file, which is nothing more than your Private Key encrypted with the password you provided on the previous page. Download it and keep it safe so you just need to use it instead of exposing your Private Key.

Now, before the platform shows you your ETH address, it will display the Private Key. You also have the option of downloading a paper wallet version of your wallet and Private Key, but it’s something that isn’t that secure. Once you do decide how you are taking care of your security, proceed.

Now, you’ll have to login again. So, select UTC/JSON file or even the Private Key one and unlock your ETH address. Once your wallet is unlocked, save the following address, which is also your ETH address.

Step #2: Contributing from MyEtherWallet

First of all you must make sure you have enough funds in your wallet to meet the minimum amount of 1 ETH.

Now, go to https://contribute.vyral.network and read carefully all the items and make sure you check all the boxes.

Moving forward, now you have to choose the wallet you want o send your contribution from. At this time, please select MyEtherWallet

Once you do, our system will provide an ETH address to you. This is the address you’re should send your contribution to.

Now let’s open up a new tab and go to MyEtherWallet. Once there, select “Send Ether & Tokens”.and your wallet is unlocked there are two things that need changing: Gas Price and Gas Limit.

Now, set up the Gas Price to 56 Gwei and the Gas Limit to 200000. After that it’s easy, all you have to do is place the ETH address you’ve got from https://contribute.vyral.network into the proper field and type in the amount you want to contribute with.

If you were referred by someone, you can optionally click “Add data” and insert your referrer ETH address without the starting “0x” and with the prefix “0x8bbb9fca000000000000000000000000". For example, if your referrer ETH address is: 0xdc42ebd2e83474acbb84bbd3333c2a7e6745588e, then you’d place “0x8bbb9fca000000000000000000000000dc42ebd2e83474acbb84bbd3333c2a7e6745588e” in the DATA field. Please note that this is completely optional and there’s no problem if you can’t do it.
If you use your own address as a referrer, your transaction will be reverted and any gas costs you spend are wasted. Also, you won’t receive any SHARE tokens or bonus.

Now hit “SEND” and confirm your transaction to the the Vyral smart contract.

After that, within a few moments you’ll receive your tokens in your ETH address. Please remember that these will be locked until the contract is properly released and the bonus and the referral tokens will still be locked for 30 days after that..

In order to find your Vyral Link, which is the link you’ll share in your social media to get more SHARE tokens with referrals to the sale, you can go back to the contribution page and click “CLAIM MY VYRAL LINK”.

On this new page, paste your ETH address and you’ll get automatically your Vyral Link.

Now, all you have to do to get more and more bonuses is share this link with your contacts. Good luck!
