How to contribute to a future period/window in the EOSCrowdsale using MyEtherWallet (MEW)
Until there was an interface to visualize and otherwise interpret the EOSCrowdsale windows, this was not an easy task. @lukestokes posted an interface that doesn't rely on MetaMask and I then forked and improved it. Having this interface made contributing to future windows for non-MetaMask users feasible, so here it is. 

**Important note** If you have MetaMask, and have already contributed to the EOSCrowdsale through their interface, you can use the official [EOSCrowdsale interface](http://eos.io) to contribute to future windows by selecting your desired window from the dropdown. 

_**These instructions are specifically for contributing to a future window**, if you are not familiar with this ICO and MEW, you should read [EOS Token Sale with MyEtherWallet - The Complete Guide](https://steemit.com/eos/@sandwich/contributing-to-eos-token-sale-with-myetherwallet-and-contract-inner-workings) first._

# Instructions
1. [Read this article and follow the instructions](https://steemit.com/eos/@sandwich/eos-sale-tracker-fork-with-usability-improvements-suitable-for-novices)
1. _From the interface referenced in the last step_, choose a window in the future you would like to contribute to. Note: Closed windows will appear red, current window is yellow, future windows are after the yellow row. You just need the number, for example `340`
2. Go to [https://www.myetherwallet.com/#contracts](https://www.myetherwallet.com/#contracts)
3. Under heading **Select Existing Contract** in a dropdown, select _EOS Contribution_
4. Click `Access`
5. Under the "Read / Write Contract" heading, in the dropdown select `buyWithLimit`.
5. In the field `day` put the number you decided on earlier that represents the **future window** you would like to contribute to. 
5. In the field `limit` put `0` (if you would like to know what this does, please scroll down.)
5. Load your wallet using any one of the methods listed. 
6. Click `Unlock` button
7. Click `Write` button 
8. in _Amount to send_ to enter the **amount you would like to contribute** and allow the wallet to suggest a _Gas Limit_. If it does not autopopulate, enter `90000` or more. If your TX fails, increase Gas Limit.  If you would like your TX to go through more quickly, adjust your gas limit accordingly.
9. Click `Generate Transaction` button
10. Check the details of the transaction, and if you are confident with the details you have entered, click `Yes, I am sure! Make transaction` 
11. If all went well, a green bar will appear at the bottom of the page including a link to your transaction on the blockchain.

If you would like you can [double check that this worked](https://steemit.com/eos/@sandwich/how-to-check-how-much-ether-you-have-contributed-to-a-particular-period-window-in-eos-crowdsale-with-myetherwallet), **after** you have given your `buyWithLimit` transaction enough time to be confirmed, that is. 

## Notes
- If you contribute to a closed (invalid) window it will fail and gas will be exhausted. 

## About the limit functionality
When any positive number other than `0` is entered, it will protect you from contributing multiple times to the same window with the same amount. This is to protect you in the case of network congestion, and pending transactions. For most people `0` is adequate.
