the ico will last 1 hour, you have the time dont worry

I am worried I can't join the ICO ,you are so crazy ,
a lots of guys join the ICO and sell it quickly ,
and then join other ICO project

true but also sketchy pending the timeline if they 'just gave up' haha.

In cases like MAIDSAFE I beg D. Irvine to stop...a good entrepreneur knows when to quit obviously...but there is a time-space where it's understandable and times where it ends up looking like they raised funds just to 'quit' the failing project.

I don't know which was the case here I don't know if I care, because the market has spoken and I'm trying to go with the market.

Still...any kind of tarnish on a record seems a little lame if they don't straight up say something like:

"Appcoin was a fail and we've been working to distance ourselves from it and continue on to bigger better things"

No but not having proof of them working on something or having proof of a scam does not carry the same weight imo. I can also only speculate but to me it looks like a project they simply gave up on... Otherwise they would do a better job hiding it, don't you think? (Like not mentioning it on their linkedin, not speaking about it in interviews, deleting the website completely, etc.) I can also understand why they gave up on it if they had a potentially better idea like Bancor.
Some proof in either direction would help, without it anyone can only use their best judgment I guess...

could be possible to fund in 2 times?
let's say 1 eth on the start and some other eth after 40-50 mins? or should i make a single transation?

but so, is the 1m ETH the 'hidden' cap they just have it obviously shown in the contract?

"Because if that's the hidden cap then I doubt this one will hit the hidden cap xD

I put tons into MGO when I saw it break 35m from when I first put in around 10m...I have NO doubts we'll see a project this year or beginning of next that pulls in 100m+...just don't know if it's Bancor or if it'll go even past the 100 to 350+ heheh....


still don't understand the logic people are using to calculate 700+ market cap at current eth prices. Wouldn't a hard cap of 1 m eth=100m BNT...which at ~3.50/BNT would be 350m market cap?....not 700?



I was never great at math because I didn't give two craps...but now that the math is involved with me making good decisions with my money...I'm getting sharper and sharper...had to correct people so many times at MGO who thought the price was determined through 'Funds Raised/Tokens Total' which was incorrect because 30 million tokens were reserved out of the bidding pool...thus can't be counted in towards market price.

I might very well be wrong and missing something I've barely perused this thread, but 100 mil tokens at ~$3.50/token I'm missing the math where it hits 700mil market cap!

i don't even understand how will be possible to have like 250k eth ... no one in history of crypto raised too much...

While correct, they could've just learned from mistakes and be golden now, it IS sketchy that there's not more discussion about it.

I'm totally with you pw but the only disagreement is we don't try to predict where the market is going, we should closely follow it. And like the greats have said, the market will remain illogical longer than you remain liquid

idk for sure about this one, might drop 10-15 ETH into it just in case, but I agree...the fundamentals are ALL off but fundamentals don't dictate where a market goes, it's the fools with tons of money who WONT let it drop past ICO price. I'll have to see how many transactions are attempting to occur right up til the sale...then I'll go with the money if it's going there!

I donno why ppl think this ico gonna get 1m eth in 1 hour. Is that even possible? Lol

That 1m eth is a security cap.

I realized this RIGHT before passing out last night, but it's also not entirely correct eh?

wouldn't this bank entirely on the price of ETH on the day of investing?

I think I'm only gonna put a small bit in...such high goals is a little crazy, espcially if with X tokens and ETH @ ~$350 the 'hidden cap' HAS to be higher than that, since that's their BASE market cap.

Wouldn't that mean that 100/ETH is right now ~$3.50 USD/BNT which 1 million ETH would be 100 Mil BNT?

how you get 700 million market cap unless it's ~$7/BNT?

Let me ask you a different question, is there any proof that the dev team actually ever worked on anything ? I don't see much. more like none in the past 4 years.

No lol, those 2 are unrelated.

So the 3 year vesting schedule refers to the 10% of BNT going to the team which solely applies to employees. This wont affect you in any way.

The 2 year period you mention is the distribution of ETH funds raised in the 1st hour  more than the hidden cap, of which 80% will be locked up in a smart contract for 2 years buying up BNT as described above.

Do you run a company? have you ever run an ICO? i believe you are a true FUDER if you imply  Bancor is a scam, i have been following them for months now, and i think they are one of the most intersting teams out there

Thx ...so funds will be locked  for two years  as state  on the  communication right ?

"
20% will be allocated to the BNT Ether Reserve, to further improve the liquidity of BNT, which increases stability while reducing conversion costs (price slippage) for all.
80% will be locked for two years in a smart contract that will buy back BNT for 0.01 ETH (the initial price) whenever it is available, according to its calculated price. The purchased BNT will be added to the Foundation’s long-term budget, and after a 2-year period, any remaining ETH will be allocated pro-rata according to the “Use of Proceeds” chart in our Token Creation Terms
"

good project, greedy project. I will wait after ICO

my prediction it will be cheaper.

So the 10% of BNT that goes to the team has a 3 year vesting schedule. This is to safeguard the company from employees running away after they get their share. So every team member has some "skin in the game"

Changing the pre-established time to rake in more money from Americans is absolutely ridiculous. Why set the original time in the first place?? Scammy look all the way around

From Cummunication below
https://blog.bancor.network/the-community-of-the-currency-9770087fde17

"Ok so let's give the information as reported on communication as well as the term of sale

We’ve heard many concerns that having no cap in the first hour (other than the 1M Ether security cap) may result in BNT dropping below its initial price after the token allocation event. Even though we’d like to think that our hodlers will not be quick to liquidate BNT they’ve purchased at its initial price, we have decided to allocate any proceeds collected in the minimum hour which exceed the hidden cap as follows:
20% will be allocated to the BNT Ether Reserve, to further improve the liquidity of BNT, which increases stability while reducing conversion costs (price slippage) for all.
80% will be locked for two years in a smart contract that will buy back BNT for 0.01 ETH (the initial price) whenever it is available, according to its calculated price. The purchased BNT will be added to the Foundation’s long-term budget, and after a 2-year period, any remaining ETH will be allocated pro-rata according to the “Use of Proceeds” chart in our Token Creation Terms."

And from Term of sale
https://blog.bancor.network/bancor-network-token-bnt-contribution-token-creation-terms-48cc85a63812

Founders and team contributors will be subject to a three year vesting schedule.
Fixed Price: 0.01 ETH per 1 BNT (i.e. 100 BNT per 1 ETH)
Hidden ETH Cap: revealed if 80% of the cap is reached.

How minimum time works? Read this: https://goo.gl/1lL0NY

Security: Funds will be held using multi-sig wallets according to industry best practices."

What is " three year vesting schedule."??

This is era of ICOs so we can expect any kind of result now. I also think this will get funded with huge amount this has so high hype at the moment all are waiting to buy in.
