the same thing happened to me when I signed up, I was waiting for the email verification, after about a half hour checked my spam and it was in there, maybe you can add that into your tutorial :-) 

I haven't sent my SDC over yet, about to do it now, pain in the ass that there's no QR code to scan, I'm not sending any BTC, just the SDC that I am now in the negative for, but I am being positive that the new project will take off!  I joined the slack group too, but honestly all these crypto apps are draining my phone battery, and the slack group was super active, I couldn't keep up, but there was a lot of useful info in there! 

I'm mad at myself for missing the bonus thing, although to be honest, I really don't understand it, I just know it's a bonus :-\
