Instructions to workaround issue with Parity wallet transferring tokens purchased during ICO (tested on Mac)

PROBLEM: Investors who purchased MCO (Monaco) tokens during the ICO, using a Parity wallet, face an issue transferring those tokens. It appears that parity is failing to automatically create a new ERC20 token (let's called it NMCO) after Monaco performed a 'token reissuance' after the ICO closed, but before it was listed on Bitrex (untransferable period). As a consequence, all attempts to send MCO tokens (purchased during ICO) from Parity to Bittrex fails. This is presumably because the tokens Parity is trying to send are the 'dead' MCO tokens, not the new 'NMCO' tokens.

This process allows a user to send 'NMCO' tokens to Bittrex for trading. NOTE: Parity still does not show the 'NMCO' tokens, even though the transaction has defintely worked.

  1. Backup Parity keys to file from terminal (creates zip file on desktop) - STORE THEM SOMEWHERE SECURE (don't recommend leaving on desktop)
$ cd $HO
