According to a friend, he sent some ETH and received a specific number of EOS.
You can see their calculation here:
https://www.eos.io/instructionsNumber of EOS to purchaser = A * (B / C)
A = Number of ETH you contributed
B = Number of EOS allotted to current distribution round
C = Total number of ETH contributed in current distribution round
(Let's just assume ETH is $200 USD for the sake of simplicity and that total ETH contributed for period is 200,000. Actual amount is here:
https://etherscan.io/address/0xd0a6E6C54DbC68Db5db3A091B171A77407Ff7ccf)
So for example if I want to contribute 10 ETH ($2000 USD) then we'd go 10 * (200,000,000/200,000). I'd receive 10,000 EOS, which means
I'd be paying $.20 USD per EOSLet's say I buy tomorrow instead and at that point they've raised 400,000 in ETH
So, 10 * (200,000,000 / 400,000) = 5000 EOS , which means at current ETH price
I'd be paying $.40 per EOSI'm not that good at Math.
Can somebody please explain what this means? How do we determine the total number of EOS distributed at any give time relative to the 200,000,000 for this period? They don't say that on the website (yet).
Also, it would seem that every day that goes by, as more ETH are contributed and assuming the price of ETH is the same, then I'd receive less EOS for my ETH? What? Can somebody please make sense of this? Thanks!
