What was IOTA's ICO price?

[thejaytiesto]

IOTA is listed here with an initial price of $0.0 which is nonsense:



I thought Ethereum was still the number #1 performer but IOTA is now #1, but it says $0.0 ICO price so that has confused me. IOTA also shows #1 against BTC, Stratis #2, ETH #3.

so 1 old IOTA is 2 779 531 new IOTA or 2.78 mIOTA

mIOTA was in ICO 40.65 satoshi.
gIOTA was in ICO 40647 satoshi or 0.00040647 BTC

It's interesting to see that IOTA is the top performing alt coin.  There's always so much attention on Ethereum.

The search function on this forum is fucked. According to that thread, IOTA had (again) a very scammy launch, similar to ETH, possibly worse.

It's sad how much marketing plays a role in the success of a cryptocurrency. IOTA spent a lot on marketing, now they are everywhere and got people hyped. Meanwhile a cool project like Byteball is staying under the radar. Hopefully eventually it gets more attention, so far I benefit from it staying under the radar since the distribution is still happening, but as far as I know Byteball tech is better than what IOTA got to offer, and the distribution (even if far from ideal) is not a scam (compared to IOTA).

I don't think IOTA spent a lot on marketing. I believe it's rather the opposite.

Agree, the forums search is not good. Use Google instead and search the forum by adding site:bitcointalk.org <search term> . It works like a charme.

Its just not true. IOTA spend less on marketing. The coin was completely under the surface before it hit Bitfinex the exchange eight weeks ago. But it already had a lot of followers and interesting people on the official slack channel. Nearly all communication was done there. IOTA got early attention by companies like Microsoft ( if I am right, it was the first coin in alpha state that was added to Azure platform ) and some others like a German energy company. This was not a result by marketing, but by the great tech. The money they got from the ICO are peanuts compared to the most ICOs today. The ICO was in the end of 2015 and the collected Bitcoins were worth $600k at this time. Not much space for marketing.

Well, im judging by the amount of people in Youtube talking about it. These days, you don't know who is getting paid to talk about a certain topic. All these youtubers talking about IOTA could very well be reporting on the success of IOTA organically OR they could have been paid to get traffic into the project and get the snowball rolling, which would be investing on marketing... who is to say?

In any case, it seems like this was amazing buy at the ICO, just like STRAT. Another opportunity to get rich lost, now it's too late.
