I use the wallet Meta-Mask for collecting bounty tokens. My question is, do I need to have a specific ERC20 token listed in my Meta-Mask wallet in order to receive that token ?
Or does Meta-Mask create the token wallet itself once it's received ?
I did a few bounties of other projects already but mostly with projects that had their own wallet.
Thanks for any response !

Do I need to manually add the token to my wallet before receiving it or will the meta mask wallet automatically detect and create a wallet for any ERC20 token ?

You don't need to do anything to receive the tokens. The maximum you would need to do is manually add the token to see its balance and spend them. But they will be there in your address even without MEW first recognizing them.

as TryNinja wrote is correct, I just wanted to add that one easier way to keep track of your tokens is using etherscan.io. go there, enter your public key, and you'll be able to see all tokens, and even current market value. this way, you can check your tokens from any device easier as well ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

You don't need to do anything to receive the tokens. The maximum you would need to do is manually add the token to see its balance and spend them. But they will be there in your address even without MEW first recognizing them. That is good news because its hard to find the contract address of some of these tokens in bounty offerings. You would think the contract address would be one of the first things posted in introduction of bounty. Thanks for the response !

How do I send my Tokens out of the Meta Mask wallet ?
There is a buy link and a send link. When I click the send link it only gives me the option to send ETH and not my ERC20 token(s).
For example I currently have 3000 + MRK coin sitting in my wallet and I been trying to figure out how to send them to an exchange or another wallet. I don't plan on doing either atm but I do want to know how for when I do want to.

You would think the contract address would be one of the first things posted in introduction of bounty. Thanks for the response ! If you find it difficult to find the smartcontract address for the token you want to get displayed in your MEW or Metamask, you just simple search your wallet on ethplorer via your public key. Click on the token name displayed under Token Balances tab a new page will be opened from there you can get the smartcontract address, Decimals & Symbol of your intended token. Simply login in to your wallet and paste all the 3 details then your balance will get displayed and now you are ready to spend them if you want. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

You do not need to add a Token ERC20 Token to get a token, but you need to add token to be able to show that token in your wallet and be able to switch between different wallets.

You do not have to setup anything on metamask. Just giving your address should do.

The Video is really helpful, but at the first time need to practice and for me sometimes need to repeat the video just to avoid any mistake even to practice just use small amount token. Perhaps it needs to practice several times to really understand as there are several site to be opened and checked, moreover it needs to verify the MEW site to ensure the validity of the site.

That is a very good tip. Transfer a small amount first to make sure everything is working as it should. Thanks for the tips everyone !
