The first is to simply send Ropsten Ether to the contract address from a wallet that can hold Ethereum-based tokens on the Ropsten Test network. After the transaction succeeds, add the tokens to your wallet using the instructions below in the “Add Tokens” section. MetaMask works well for this demo because it meets those requirements, and also makes it easy to acquire test Ether via the “Buy” button.
The second method is to purchase 0VAL tokens is to use the order form (above), which requires MetaMask to complete the transaction. See the instructions below for details.
If you need Ropsten Ether for testing, see instructions below for using MetaMask, or use the Ropsten Ethereum Faucet.
Get MetaMask and Ropsten Ether
Install MetaMask, a browser plugin for Chrome, Firefox and Opera web browsers
In MetaMask, choose an account (U/R corner) and switch to Ropsten Test Net (U/L corner)
If you need Ropsten Ether, in MetaMask click the “Buy” button. Next, click “Ropsten Test Faucet” and then follow instructions (it takes a couple of minutes to receive the Ropsten Ether. Get at least two Ropsten Ether because you will need a little extra for gas)
Purchase Tokens
On this page (in the payment form above), select amount of Ropsten Ether to spend
Click the “Buy With MetaMask” button
Open MetaMask, MAKE SURE you are on Ropsten Test Net, then click the “Submit” button
Wait for the transaction to finish with a “Success” status (this can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or so — a higher Gas Price usually results in a faster transaction)
(TIP: You can click the SENT tab in MetaMask to see the status of your transaction. Click on the transaction to view the progress on Etherscan)
Add Tokens
After the transaction succeeds (it takes about a minute), click the “Add Token” button in MetaMask (you should still be in Ropsten Test Net)
Enter the Token Contract Address:
The remaining info should automatically populate
Click the “Add” button
(TIP: You can use the same procedure to restore tokens in MetaMask if they seem to disappear. MetaMask doesn’t actually lose the tokens; it simply forgets tto display them. You can also check your token balance using the blockchain viewer at ropsten.etherscan.io)
