It seems super profitable to buy EOS from the ICO. With 600 eth in, one can get like 3300EOS with 1ETH. Selling that on Kraken will result in a very nice profit. I'm wondering if I'm seeing this correctly?

That low price makes it look more appealing to get EOS from an exchange versus the long ICO.
Makes you wonder why would people be selling it for less than what they bought for in ICO?

Do you need to Register / Map your EOS Key each time you buy EOS or only the very first time?

anyone got a lower rate than advertised recently ?
July 14, 2017, 05:09:27 PM
Yes. 1,38$ now. Wow
Every coin is getting a lashing right now.

If you buy eos from today's distribution when do you get them?
Can you claim them directly after the the period closes?

Should I now be able to claim tokens on metamask? Or will it take time to flush through?

it is clear the owner is rigging the auctions using eth raised in period #0 and selling both extra EOSes and ETH they got on exchanges for fiat or btc

Since I was banned from their chat by Dan for discussing this, I'll just post it here.

Do you have any proof they are buying EOS and not other coins, or USD? They say they will not perform any share buybacks and if they did I think it would be pretty much impossible for them to hide and they would be pretty much screwed pretty fast.

I've seen that video. Do you really think he explains how he's going to enable parallel processing from that one slide?
I'm not saying that he definitely won't be able to pull it off. But it's going to take many very smart OS level programmers, not necessarily blockchain programmers, because parallel processing is very difficult at the OS level. I wish he does pull it off, because it will benefit many projects, including ours.
I think this parallel processing is what is going to make or break EOS. There is no scam in regards to the EOS token, not launching the blockchain and leaving it up to the community to do so.

Well, It seems the tokens that are being sold now on ethereum network are not the one that are going to be used on the EOS blockchain later. I don't really know how they can be of such value right now, I guess that's one of the reasons why everyone says it's a scam. Personally I don't think someone can come up with something delicate as this without the intention to actually build it.
I don't think it's a scam. I think they will map out the EOS tokens onto the cryptographic tokens on the EOS blockchain.
I'm more concerned about their ability to enable parallel processing.
The biggest selling point of EOS is its claim that it can process millions of transactions per second. To do this, Larimer said that they will enable parallel processing. PP is extremely difficult. It takes teams and teams of programmers to enable this on a single computer. I don't see how EOS is going to do this over many distributed remote computers.
I read their white paper and it does not explain how they will achieve parallel processing. Based on such little information, the probability is that they will fail. If they fail, then EOS will be similar to Bitshares.
Maybe they know more than they are disclosing in the white paper. If they pull off parallel processing, it will be a monumental achievement.
I think this is the biggest risk with buying EOS.

And the rest of the people just don't wanna miss out on the "new bitcoin" (it this would be it

No, the ceo of EOS is a talented developer, I think that's why it raised so much money.I have asked my friends why they join the ESO, they are all addicted the talented dev.

I tend to agree. The whitepaper is not sufficiently detailed for peer review, much less a government grant for even a tiny fraction of the amount raised. Yet EOS claims -- without proof -- to have a solution to an extraordinarily difficult problem that has eluded academics and scientists at some of the most prestigious research institutions on the planet for decades. This by a team that has a reputation for over-promising and under-delivering. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" -- Carl Sagan

Today I sold everything. I will be keeping a close watch. My opinion is that the capitalisation will only fall. Now the platform yet, and the money collected very much.

Hi, I am terribly sorry if this is a wrong place to ask that but I've sent some ethereum using myetherwallet but using option Send Ether and Tokens, instead of "Contracts". Is there any way possible to claim my EOS tokens or I've just foolishly lost them? (it was a small test transaction, yet I would love to see it succeed).
No, you did it correctly, don't worry. Did you send it today? You can only claim your tokens after the token period of the day ends, which is 6 hours 45 minutes from this comment.
What you'll do is go into the contracts section, select the EOS contract from the dropdown, and then change the thing you want to do at the bottom left to "claimAll", you'll be asked to load a wallet, so choose the one you want to store your tokens on. After that, click the "Write" button, you'll be asked to send an amount of tokens, but just leave it "0". And set the "Gas Limit" to around at least 3000000, or the transaction may run out of gas and fail. When this transaction completes, the tokens will be associated with that wallet and you'll see them on the right side whenever you log into myetherwallet.
I would recommend against buying into the token sales though, they always end up more expensive than just buying the tokens on the exchange. (The amount of tokens you get is determined by how many people contributed by the end of the 23 hour period, the more people, the less of the share you get.)
