How to claim Pocket genesis now that 7 days have passed (this will work until Monday, September 11)
Pocket is a new subtoken that launched 7 days ago; read all about it in the links I've put at the bottom of this article.
Many Steem accounts are eligible to receive a free pile of Pocket tokens; the way to do this is to reblog a particular post. You can still claim tokens for another 7 days, but you can't do it on Steemit.com any more. This post will show you how to do it.
NOTE: If your Steem account was created after the 28th of August, 2017, you aren't eligible to claim your Pocket tokens. Also, you needed to have commented or posted at least 5 times before the 28th of August, 2017. Sorry for those new to Steem who aren't eligible; it was a necessary step to keep people from creating floods of new accounts to claim the tokens.
First, go to Busy.org and log in by clicking the padlock in the upper left:
Log in with you Steem account name and password (or if you're particularly concerned with security, use your Posting key):
Now go to my blog at this link: https://busy.org/@biophil
Scroll down until you see a post called "Pocket Genesis Post: Resteem this to get your free POCKET Tokens!" And then just reblog it:
You can even post your "confirm" comment directly from that page without having to load the post. This is helpful if you have a slow computer or slow internet; the post now has so many comments that it tends to load extremely slowly on many computers.
In case you can't load the original Genesis post, I'm copying the original disclaimer here:
By claiming your POCKET tokens, you are agreeing that you think the Pocket Protocol is a meaningful set of rules to track ownership of tokens. You are acknowledging that you are now a Pocket participant. As such, you are declaring that you are opting-in to the POCKET system, and are agreeing that you and all other such opted-in accounts (Pocket participants) have claimed their Genesis stake. No entity has given you your Genesis stake; rather, you are simply agreeing with all other Pocket participants on a set of rules (that is, the Pocket Protocol) that determines who is eligible for and who receives the POCKET tokens. @biophil, the author of the Pocket protocol, is not distributing tokens; he is merely suggesting a set of rules that all Pocket participants may agree upon. @biophil has received no compensation in exchange for POCKET genesis tokens; any income he receives for posts about the POCKET protocol is strictly to be considered blogging income, not exchange for a token.
fyi you can log in with steem connect and claim your pocket genesis as well as send transactions, and check for confirmations here.

Thanks for using POCKET! I am small bot and right now I am running this code.
This worked so well for me. Nothing else seemed to be working.

Read those instructions real carefully...
I am trying to do a crazy tongue in cheek auction for a small fraction of a pocket token so we all can create some legends and be rich. https://steemit.com/pocket/@cryptick/be-instant-trillionaires-with-a-pocket-token-auction

I find no reblog option, and I left all the boxes ticked when I signed in, so it should be there, right?
Huh. That's weird. Let me see if I can recreate; I just signed up today with a brand-new account and that's how I got the screenshots.
Yeah, I just did all the steps again and I can see the reblog option on mine. It took a bit longer for the reblog icon to load; maybe if you give it some time it will show up? I find it very strange.
Got it to work in a different browser, yay :)
will take a look tonight when I get home. fingers crossed :)
Good luck! Several accounts have claimed in the past few hours, so I know it is possible somehow.
Could it be they didn't log in or logged in using the MEMO key?
They'd have to try some other functions to see if they work. I don't think the Memo key does anything at all, but I could be wrong.
