How do I participate in the ICO?

There will be a web interface that will present you with a VRC address for which you can perform one send to for the ICO. Then you will submit a VRC public key address into the site and that will be the address that you receive the Verium at when the wallet is released. You can either use a currently existing VeriCoin address or generate a new one, but you must do it in the wallet so you can export the private key via the file menu for import into the Verium wallet. VeriCoin and Verium addresses are the same format. The same public key and private key pair can be used on either blockchain.
