How to create an EOS account.

To become part of the EFFECT FORCE and start working on paying tasks you need an EOS account. Your funds (EFX and EOS) are stored in your EOS account. You can use an EOS wallet to interact with your EOS account.

There are a few ways to create an EOS account, please choose the one that best suits your needs. You can use for example EOS-Account-Creator or TokenPocket’s account creator service.

After you set up your account and wallet, you can get lots of good information about CPU/NET, how to claim or stake NFX from this link:

Creating an EOS account using TokenPocket’s Account Creator service

• Go to https://account-creator.tokenpocket.pro/#/ (make sure you visit the correct link)
• Choose a name for your account or click the “Random” button. EOS accounts have 12 characters from a-z and 1-5

• You can pay using Paypal, WeChat or Alipay. Press “CONTINUE”.

• In the next screen you will see your Public Key and Private Key. Make sure to store your Private Key safely offline, do never tell anyone your Private Key! Proceed with the payment.

Congratulations! You now have created an EOS account and can import your Private Key into TokenPocket, Anchor or Scatter.

Creating an EOS account using the EOS Account Creator service.

1. Go to: https://eos-account-creator.com/
2. Click on “CREATE EOS ACCOUNT” and chose and account name with 12 characters. In this example I chose tiqpu54yj2t5 This will be your account name and the one you use to receive funds (EOS and/or EFX)

3. Click “Continue” and you will be prompted to provide an “Owner Public Key” and an “Active Public Key”. If you are using a Ledger Nano S or Ledger Nano X you can click on “Connect Ledger” and your keys will be imported. You need the EOS App installed in your Ledger. If you are not using Ledger you will need an EOS Wallet. Recommended wallets are Token Pocket (for Android and iOS) or Anchor for Windows and Mac. You can download and install Anchor following this GUIDE. You can also press “Help me generate those keys” and import the generated Private Key into Anchor or TokenPocket. Public keys start with “EOS...”, Private Keys start with the number “5”. DO NOT TELL ANYONE YOUR PRIVATE KEY! KEEP IT SAFE AND OFFLINE!
4. After you input the Public Keys from the wallet of your choice or generate new keys, you can press “Continue”. And proceed to the Payment page. EOS accounts cost a few dollars to be created. You can pay using your Credit Card or crypto (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum or Litecoin)

Creating an EOS account using bloks.io

4. To create the account you have two options. Choose the best option that suits you:

• Send EOS from an Exchange to the Memo provided (DO NOT TRY SENDING EOS TO THE MEMO IN THE PICTURE ABOVE!).

• Transfer the required EOS from another EOS account.

1. Congratulations! Now you can import your private key into an EOS wallet or use bloks.io to interact with your account.
