2. The HTML page is designed to work offline so it’s advisable to download and run it on a computer that is not connected to the Internet or at the very least you should access the page in incognito mode with your browser plugins disabled. Disconnect your internet connection and proceed to open the HTML file you’ve just downloaded

7. Now let’s go online to fund the newly created wallet. To send your contribution the tezos foundation recommend an allocation rate of 5,000 XTZ/XBT (five thousand tezzies per bitcoin) as well as a time-based bonus. No worries if you don’t have 1 bitcoin you can still participate as the minimum of amount of tezos that can be exchanged for either bitcoin or ethereum is 500 XTZ which is 0.1 BTC and 0.918 ETH and the current bonus rate is 20% as at the time of writing this.

You can also pay with other altcoins like Monero, Ripple, Zcash, Litecoin, using the Altcoin via Shapeshift option type the amount of the tezos tokens you want to buy it will show you the equivalent in BTC or ETH depending on the one you are using and then choose your preferred payment option the BTC or Eth deposit address or the barcode will be displayed.
