Exodus Wallet Adds 1-Click Registration for EOS!
This is Awesome
The Exodus desktop multi-asset wallet has just made the process of registering your EOS tokens infinitely easier.
If you've gone through the headache of registering your EOS ERC-20 tokens using My Ether Wallet then you'll know recognize how awesome this added feature really is.
A few months ago, I decided that it would be a good idea to register my EOS tokens that I was keeping in my Exodus wallet. I figured it would be a wise thing to do, as I can procrastinate with the best of them, I might as well be pro-active and get it done early and not wait until the very last minute.
So, I scoured the internet for tutorials which were few and far between. Not much of a surprise since EOS isn't scheduled for official release until later this year. I did come across this Steemit post - How to Register Your EOS Tokens in the Exodus Bitcoin Wallet by @bitcoinshirtz that demonstrated each step in the process relatively clearly (I later found the instructions in the Exodus support page as well).
Registering your ESO tokens using My Ether Wallet (MEW) is quite the process and being unfamiliar with MEW, to be honest, it was a little nerve racking. Once I completed the dozen or so steps, including obtaining keys from https://github.com, and executed my first smart contract I felt relieved that I had actually succeeded without any major blunders. You always hear horror stories about people accidently broadcasting their private keys out into the internet for all to see and thankfully that didn't happen.
I know a lot of you love MEW, and that's cool! I'm not knocking the wallet, this was just my first time using the wallet and it's definitely meant for the more experienced users among us.
Once the ordeal was over, I double checked with Etherscan to see if there was indeed a transaction record and the registration had taken place.
It was there all right. Yet, somehow, someway in the back of my mind I was still wondering if I had neglected to execute an important step. On top of that, I wasn't sure if I needed to re-register any new EOS tokens I have accumulated since then.
To be honest, I'm still unsure about that, lol.
12 steps in 1
With the release of the latest Exodus wallet update 1.48.0, you needn't bother with the 12 steps and MEW. The fine people at Exodus have made it dummy proof. The process couldn't be simpler.
1. Open Exodus and go to EOS in your wallet.
2. If your EOS tokens have not been registered already, it will be indicated in the top right hand corner of your screen.
3. Next, move the cursor over to the "Help" button in the lower left corner and click on it
4. This will take you to the internal support page, scroll down to the bottom and click on "How do I register my EOS tokens?"
5. Click on "Register my EOS address now!"
BOOM!
You've now successfully registered your EOS address and tokens!
For non-techie people such as myself, this is way cool!
Now the only question I have is, did I fail the first time registering with the MEW process or have I somehow registered my tokens twice?
At any rate, this is a very welcome feature that will be super useful to all Exodus wallet users.
Cheers!

Ef yes, thanks for sharing this, this is just what i needed
MEW is deliberately user-unfriendly (it seems.) No apologies needed there.
You may be right about that, the thought has crossed my mind.
I tried to help a friend to claim their EOS last year using a combination of Metamask and MEW...we must have burned over $50usd in GAS trying to figure shit out, frustrating to say the least.
This is great news. Using MEW was pretty overly complicated. Maybe this will make some of the more nervous people hop on board! :)
I did the same as you and blindly followed the steps to register my EOS on MEW, worrying that I might do something wrong and lose them all or even worse, think I had done it right but find out when the token sale is finished that I didn't and be left with worthless tokens.
I am pretty sure I did it right and might have even done it twice to be doubly sure but after reading this I am tempted to transfer them from my MEW to Exodus for peace of mind.
Thanks for the info.
Oh hell yah! I snuck up on that monster a few times and just backed off, promising I would get it done some time before the last minute. I will check this out as a simpler alternative and get it to the other folks I know who are on board.
Thanks for looking out and sharing for the community here. I may resteem this as well.
Exodus is by far the best desktop wallet out there. Easy to use interface, they are constantly adding new coins to the wallet and you can swap coins right in the wallet itself, (although it's not a great rate). This ability is great as I know time was running out to register and this process has made it very easy for the average user.
Yeah, I love the Exodus wallet, it's great. I hadn't updated it in a while so I was stoked to find this new feature! They definitely do a great job simplifying every process which is really handy for beginners and people who are 'crypto-curious' ;)
I wish they would add some sort of 2FA or hardware security features. I'm not comfortable leaving more than $1000 in it.
Yeah, I guess. But it is more secure than online banking for instance. Just back it up using your 12 phrase key word and then you can actually delete the exodus wallet right off your computer. Keep the 12 phrase password somewhere safe, or memorize it, then download the wallet on any computer in the future to access your wallet. I've never had a problem with it. 2FA would be one more added step, but it seems pretty secure as it is
Exodus user was hacked this week. Lost ALL of his tokens.Be careful all.
Gary. https://steemit.com/@dallasrushing. Check him out.
This is hugely helpful, because I personally have been a bit intimidated by MEW.
I have been getting more interested in EOS after hearing that there may be some break-off social media site being created by a former member of steem, which will pay out in these EOS tokens.
I havent seen anything substantial on that, just rumors so far.
very cool for secure my eos!! i resteem you in french community!! @yann85 t'est rassuré?? lol
Yes! J'ai vu ça ce matin avec la nouvelle mise à jour, c'est cool !
C'est un plaisir, merci beaucoup!
Seriously, thank god for this. EOS looks very promising but the registration process was very daunting so I didnt bother getting any EOS. With Exodus making it this easy I think we will see EOS have a ton more demand. Thanks for the heads up!
OMG! Thanks for this.. I need to register my EOS still! LOL
