Thank you @daltono@ponts I will look into this and if I have any questions, I know who to talk to! Are there any other steps, like do I have to register anything on the eos.io website? Use a vpn?
Well if you are using Exodus wallet to hold your EOS like I am, my blog post also has a link to the Exodus website that has a very thorough walkthrough. I decided to trade my open.EOS for erc20 EOS because I had no plans of actually trading me EOS. So there really was no point in holding it on BitShares. Be sure to read my blog post I linked on my first comment for a complete explanation.
Here is a reply I got from Exodus support regarding EOS:
As for EOS, At the moment, doing this in Exodus isn't supported. However, we may come up with a method within Exodus which will register your EOS for you automatically in the future.
I strongly advise waiting, because the process of EOS registration is complicated, and requires exporting your private keys. Exporting of private keys is something I do not advise doing because of the huge security risk it creates!
If you don't want to wait for a potential solution in Exodus, and want to take the risk anyway, here is what to do:
You have to export your Ethereum private key and import it into MyEtherWallet.

Once again, please be very careful with your private key. Anyone who gets it will get access to all your ETH and ETH (ERC20) based tokens!
When you receive EOS from the ICO, you should use MyEtherWallet as well. Once they are delivered, you can transfer them into Exodus for safe keeping or exchange.
I've been holding off registering hoping that Exodus will take care of it for me.
They may, but I didn't want to even have to worry about having to do it anymore. Relying on others can be stressful at times. I prefer handling business.
Yes, I read your blog post thank you. I have exodus, but I currently have my open.EOS on the BTS exchange. Do I need to move the open.EOS to exodus first and then move that to MyEtherwallet with a VPN?
You won't actually have to send your EOS from Exodus to MyEtherWallet. The guide I just linked will walk you through how to connect your Ethereum Private Keys from Exodus to MyEtherWallet.
The guide is very self explanatory, just read it carefully and do just as it says and everything will work out accordingly. If you have any troubles just reply back to me here :)
I can attest to the value of this guide. It's not hard at all. But allow yourself to follow the step by step procedure at a leisurely pace. Don't be in a big hurry and don't be multi-tasking. Take your time, it's easy.

You would want to transfer your open.EOS to your Exodus wallet. From that point you will follow this guide here : http://support.exodus.io/article/65-i-ve-received-eos-tokens-in-exodus-how-do-i-register-them
