Theta Token - SLIVER.Tv Deposit Guide

Theta Token - SLIVER.tv Deposit Guide

Introduction & Overview

In this guide we’ll detail how you can acquire Theta Tokens (THETA) and deposit them to SLIVER.tv. The process can be confusing at first, but this step-by-step guide will help you through it and when we’re done you’ll know all about how to transfer crypto assets! Step 1 will be to acquire Ethereum (ETH), which you can then use to buy THETA. If you already own ETH or know how to purchase it, you can skip to Step 2, acquiring THETA. In Step 3 we’ll transfer your newly-purchased THETA to your personal ETH wallet, and finally in Step 4 we’ll transfer your THETA from your ETH wallet to SLIVER.tv to use.

Step 1: Acquiring ETH

First register an account at Coinbase so that you can purchase ETH with your local currency. Once you register your Coinbase account, you can purchase ETH either by wire transferring funds to Coinbase to purchase (funds will typically be available the same day or next day) or by linking your bank account and completing a bank transfer (funds typically available after ~5 days). Click “Buy/Sell” at the top, then select Ethereum, and enter the amount of ETH you wish to purchase.

1 Step 2: Acquiring THETA

Now that you own ETH, you can use it to purchase THETA at a cryptocurrency exchange such as Huobi. Go to www.huobi.pro to register your account and verify your identity (verification can take 24-48 hours to be completed). Once your account is created, we’ll want to find our Huobi ETH deposit address so we can send your ETH from Coinbase to Huobi. At the top hover over “Balances” and click “Deposits & Withdrawals”. Next to ETH, click “Deposit” to display your ETH deposit address. Make sure it is for ETH! If you get mixed up and send ETH to a bitcoin deposit address for example, your funds may be lost.

Once you copy the ETH deposit address, go back to your Coinbase page, click “Accounts” at the top, then select your ETH wallet and click “Send”. When prompted for the address to send to, we’ll use the ETH deposit address we just check on Huobi.

2 Once you complete the transaction, typically you’ll see your funds arrive at Huobi in about 5 minutes (though it can be up to 30 minutes if the Ethereum blockchain happens to be backlogged at the time). Back on Huobi, once your ETH arrives in your Balances page, click on “Exchange” in the upper left corner, then “ETH” to show markets that trade in ETH, then “THETA” to access the THETA/ETH exchange pair and purchase THETA with your ETH. The three buttons mentioned are boxed in red on the left side of the following picture:

From there, the easiest way to trade is to click “Market Order”, then enter the number of ETH you want to use to buy THETA, then click the green “BUY THETA” button. This will purchase THETA in the amount of ETH you specified at the best available market price.

Step 3: Sending THETA to your personal Ethereum wallet

Now that you have purchased THETA, you will want to send it to your personal Ethereum address (which can store any token built on Ethereum, such as THETA). If you don’t already have your own Ethereum address, you can create a new one at MyEtherWallet. Enter a password and click “Create New Wallet”, then follow the instructions on the next pages. Make sure you store your private key in a safe place!

Once you have created your wallet you’ll also have a public Ethereum address, which is where you want to send your THETA to. Make sure to note that address, then we’ll go back to Huobi to withdraw THETA to your new Ethereum wallet. On Huobi, hover over the “Balances” button at the top and then click “Deposit & Withdraw”. The next screen will show you the assets you hold, so click the “Withdraw” button next to THETA. You’ll be prompted to enter the Address (the public Ethereum address you just created over at MyEtherWallet) and the amount of THETA you wish to withdraw (you can just click the Available balance to withdraw it all). Once that’s complete, hit the blue “Withdraw” button and follow the verification instructions.

4 Step 4: Depositing THETA to SLIVER.tv

For the last step, you’ll need to send your THETA from your Ethereum wallet to SLIVER.tv. Login to your SLIVER.tv account and click the Theta Token icon in the upper right corner, then click “Deposit Theta”.

On the next page, you’ll be asked to enter your ETH address (the one you created on MyEtherWallet, which you’ll be sending your THETA from).

5 Now that you’ve authorized your ETH address, click “Start Deposit”.

You’ll be provided with a SLIVER.tv ETH address to send your THETA to, so now we’ll do that from MyEtherWallet.

From MyEtherWallet, click the “Send Ether & Tokens” button at the top and access your wallet using your private key, mnemonic phrase, Metamask browser, or hardware wallet.

Once you’ve accessed your ETH wallet, enter the SLIVER.tv ETH address in the “To Address” field, number of THETA to send in the “Amount to Send” field, and click the grey dropdown box to change ETH to THETA to specify that’s the token you want to send. The Gas Limit should automatically fill in the appropriate amount. Then click the “Generate Transaction” button and confirm your transfer to complete sending your THETA to SLIVER.tv. You’ll receive a Transaction Hash for the transfer.

Take the transaction hash you receive back to SLIVER.tv and enter it after clicking the button that says “Okay, I have my Transaction Hash”. That way we’ll know to expect your deposit and credit your SLIVER.tv account!

That’s it! You’re all done and your THETA will be available soon on SLIVER.tv! Now you can donate to your favorite streamers or buy exclusive VIP items that can only be purchased with THETA!
