13 8 Frequently Asked Questions For more questions about MyEtherWallet, please visit the official: MyEtherWallet's Help Tab. Why can t I see my balance when I unlock my wallet? Check if you are behind a firewall. It is common for the API that is used to display the balance to be blocked by firewalls. You will still be able to send transactions, but you will need to use a blockchain explorer, such as Etherscan, to view your balance. I can t see the account I just created on Etherscan.io Only active accounts are visible in a blockchain explorer such as Etherscan. Once you have transferred some ETH into the account, it should be visible. I am trying to unlock my wallet but it keeps freezing / hanging. Decrypting the keystore files is an intensive process and doesn't enjoy being done in Javascript. Try the following: 1. Using Google Chrome 2. Clicking "continue" when you see the unresponsive error alert pop up 3. Making sure you don't have other intensive programs open (a lot of browser tabs, video games, etc.) The combination of the above typically eliminate the problem. Transaction Failed "Out of Gas" 13

14 Each transaction (including token and contract transactions) require gas and that gas is paid in Ether. Think of this like a transaction fee the more computational effort a transaction takes, the more gas you need. MyEtherWallet estimates how much gas you will need but sometimes it doesn't get it right. Try manually increasing the "Gas Limit". First, try doubling the amount of gas that MyEtherWallet estimates, and sending again. Any excess gas will be returned to you, so you could even triple or quadruple it. Where can I get more help? Telegram: Please note that we do not publish the token sale contract address anywhere except the official token sale site. 14
