2: I did it using @MetaMask , make sure to add the extension to your browser from http://metamask.io"> http://metamask.io , I think you wouldn& #39;t see that option , if you hadn& #39;t installed the extension
3: You& #39;ll get a notification on the extension to connect to ens, connect there
Ignore the blurred out thing, this was my first time doing anything related to crypto and I blurred it out , but it was just my public key which isn& #39;t even completely visiblehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

4: And you are connected!!!, you would see your partial public key, and a disconnect button, but don& #39;t click on it
5: Search for the name you want, if it is available, click on it and you would see something like below, which includes the price, request to register and proceed, but I didn& #39;t have any funds in wallet, so the button is disabled
6: You can go to metamask extension and buy some eth if you don& #39;t have any, or you can receive eth to this address
7: I had multiple transaction failures when buying through metamask browser app, so I looked around few exchanges, but I didn& #39;t see an option to send that eth to this address on metamask , even if they had they were charging significant price to withdraw and send to this address
8: So I downloaded metamask app on my mobile, and bought around $35 worth of eth at that time, The process was pretty straight forward just like ecommerce, and it was fasthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">, it took around 10 seconds to reflect that on my wallethttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😄" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lächelnden Augen">

9: I knew it was recommended to have atleast $150 worth of eth in the task specified on @oneseventwonine , but I don& #39;t have that much amount right now, anyways I want to give it a shot and you& #39;ll see why it is recommended
10: Now you can request to register and you& #39;ll see a notification on the metamask extension, confirm it to proceed to step 2
11: Wait for a minute and you will proceed to step 3 if nothing goes wrong, Here you& #39;ll need to do another transaction and I believe you need almost same amount of eth that you paid in the first transaction inorder to successfully register
12: I think this is the reason why it is recommended to have at least $150 of eth, I arranged another $35 and load into the wallet the same way I did it the first time, it was smooth and transaction reflected to my wallet in no time, now confirmed to complete the process
13: What a relief!!!, The whole thing is done and now you just need to set reverse record
14: Select your ens name and save it
15: You& #39;ll get a notification on your metamask extension, confirm the transaction to save successfully
16: That& #39;s it, everything is complete, you can now add your BTC, DOGE addresses, socials etc.. by clicking on add/edit record and save, you& #39;ll receive a notification on metamask, confirm the transaction to save successfully
17: I still have 0.0041 ETH, I will be donating it to a campaign in fighting COVID in India
If I am lucky and this submission gets awarded $250 by @oneseventwonine I will be donating that amount to help India fight against COVID situation that is happening right now
