However, when I refreshed the Equibit ICO page the transaction (which was not confirmed at the time) disappeared and I have not received any confirmation for it (e.g. via email). This is how the ICO page looks for me atm:
Has someone received a confirmation for theirs? If yes, in what form?
EDIT: No difference after logging out & in again.
Once you get an address to send to, you get two minutes for your transaction to register, you should have used a wallet you control. The exchange payment would have taken longer, which would have locked you out at what ever price you were quoted. email the Dev's
Thanks for the answer!
I did email the devs, waiting for their reply at the moment. I am not sure about the expiration you mentioned above: the first time I tried to transfer the funds I got a timeout and the message after the timeout said that if the transaction has been initiated in the allotted two minutes (but not confirmed) it should still work. I am not sure how long it took for Poloniex to register the transaction though.
poloniex can definitely take some time
fortunately buying seems to be taking a break here so u have time before price increase
