Read this before asking questions that have been answered on every page for the past 50 pages.

I want to get in on this! How do I start?

Visit https://ico.wavesplatform.com/ and put in your email. You'll receive an email confirmation with a password. There is an address for you to deposit BTC into. To read the full process of this ICO, please visit:
https://blog.wavesplatform.com/how-to-participate-in-the-waves-ico-87d04a6d043c#.gq740wr2n

There's no related payment or WAVES yet in my account? What's going on? I have over XX confirmations!

Yes, it's confirmed there's an issue and delays with depositing WAVES and showing related payments.  I was most likely the top 10 first purchasers and had 74 confirmations until I saw my balance. I purchased within 2 seconds of ICO opening and received it just NOW. Therefore it 11 took hours to receive it and you will too eventually.

If we do NOT get our waves DEPOSITED within the 20% bonus period, will we still be credited the 20% bonus when it is deposited since we DID purchase within the bonus period time frame?

It seems like the bonus 20% will be applied to when the confirmation happened. It wouldn't be fair in any way to not credit people who in fact did purchase within the acceptable time line. It is 100% your paranoia speaking. Rest assured, this is a very experienced team and not crediting people who've bought during the 20% bonus period would be absurdly unfair and cause outrage.

How do I know my 20% bonus was applied?

You don't know. Just like how you don't know if a mining pool is paying out fairly or if an exchange isn't ripping you off. To be logical, this is a very public ICO with a good reputation and solid foundation. I would trust the system like how anyone would trust a mining pool. If you approach WAVES (or any ICO) with skeptism, it's good for you to do your own research. This is no different than investing in any other coin on an exchange. It is ultimately up to YOU to convince yourself this is a good and fair investment. No one else can do that. Remember, with the possibility of REWARD, there must be risk.

Where can I track the Bitcoin public address so I know this is legit.

You can see the public address here: https://blockexplorer.com/address/3DWBSSAue32YS8PcW2gLs6m52BCCv3UgDA which currently has 3470 BTC and is 100% legitimate.

Does depositing from an exchange or wallet address matter?

Depositing from POLO, any exchange, or your personal wallet HAS NO AFFECT on WHEN you receive your coin. It has never mattered before for depositing (except from mining pools to deposit directly to exchange is a no no on some sites). If it DID matter, I'm 100% sure the developers would specify such a simple instruction in their WAVES ICO page. This assumption is correct right? Don't assume things you don't know.

How much WAVES will I get with 1 BTC or how much is a WAVE right now?

No one knows the EXACT answer. There are set X amounts of WAVES available during this ICO and all the WAVES are distributed PROPORTIONALLY to how much you bought. For example, if there are 1000 waves and 2000 people all pay equally (regardless of the amount), we will all get 0.5 waves each. I hope that makes sense by using a very basic example.

During this exact time at 6:14 PM CENTRAL TIME Canada, my WAVES came through.

I paid 2 BTC and received about 49,000 WAVES. Therefore at this current time, there ratio per $1 spent is about $1 per 57 WAVES or 1 BTC / 24,500 WAVES. WAVES will slowly decrease as more people spend BTC because the amount you keep is directly proportional to how many BTC overall everyone spent.

Does logging in and out work?

Logging out for 15 minutes then back in, and it if works, is purely coincidental.  There's no control over anything.

I can't get email confirmation. What can I do?

The email issue is also related to ongoing issues. Browser cache or browsers or email providers have little to do with receiving confirmation email. That's just superstition speaking. I've made several dummy accounts to see when the email would come. Some was instant, some took an hour, some took 3, some aren't there yet. The point is though, it'll come! Be patience little monsters and think of something calming.. like WAVES in the ocean.

This seems VERY unfair that things aren't going smoothly? Anything I can do on my part? Why aren't the developers reassuring us?


It's very optimistic to expect no issues on a major opening like today. Though it's 100% entirely expected to have complications. We should all be glad it's actually going this smooth. Keep in mind the volume here. This is no joke! Having an understanding of issues being very likely during an ICO can help you relieve this frustrating. There's not anything anyone can do on their part to expedite this process, but what you can do is trust the developers and know that they're working their best to fix all issues. They're not responding because their priority is to get YOU your WAVES. Every second and minute counts. We're all here because we want to be a huge part of WAVES. Keep up this hype and be realistic, rather than optimistic. Understand issues happen. Keep supporting WAVES and know everything will be ok.

If this information helped anyone, I'd appreciate the trust feedback. Keep quoting this post if it answered your question so people don't have to redundantly ask the same ones over and over. Also, I host the "how to mine" thread at the ethereum forum, where I wrote a detailed guide with Q&A there. So if you have ethereum issues, please seek me out:

[zaph3t]

Wow! WAVES Team should hire you as a Community manager. i will sure hire with any project to handle all those repeated questions.

We are there all the time, just busy with fixing things.

Ok good to hear that but a community manager on your behalf wouldnt hurt though. Just saying.

[cienki7]

wow, I did not expect so much BTC raised on the first day

[mxxxxxx]

I was on the mailing list, and now i wrote my address so i can make my deposit, and i havent get the email with my password..

Also, where can i download the wallet or how do you guys know when you get credited?

You need to put your email address here https://ico.wavesplatform.com/

After you log in you will see deposit address etc.

Please check your spam folders also.

[iambitcoin5]

The fact that Waves has raised 4x what Lisk did in the first 24 hours is bamboozling.

I was expecting Waves to collect less btc than Lisk.

Yeah I can't believe how much is raised so far. I definitely will be investing on last day also to see where Waves is at with price.

[coffy]

wow, I did not expect so much BTC raised on the first day

how can we check this BTC is real?

[daddyappsprout]

Is Waves 2 factor authentication working for anyone?  Mine keeps saying incorrect code or password, but it's not incorrect.

Escrow Update

For safekeeping of the funds Waves is using Coinbase Vault with 2of3 multisignature solution. The raised funds will be sent every 15 minutes with a script to the following BTC address. This should happen pretty soon. The majority of funds (3470 BTC out of 3500 BTC that were raised) are already on the deposit address of the vault.

You can check the amount of escrowed funds in real time here: https://blockexplorer.com/address/3DWBSSAue32YS8PcW2gLs6m52BCCv3UgDA

If you have questions regarding the escrow process please PM me, as I can't follow this whole thread (its super fast!).

[ottobene]

Got my waves after 69 confirmations and 10 hiurs waiting. Deposit from polo works, but slow

[UNO_owner]

The level of newbness and stupidity displayed on this thread is so high, it gets me really excited about crypto in general.  Glory days are back.  I can't wait to take your money.

Devs, pls also give 20 % for 2nd day, many people including me having problems buying from the ICO, i dont get the email, tried gmail also.

I alredy put my address in ico.waves.. , and already check my spam folders, nothing there.

Scroll up! It's easier to quickly read something to get an answer than to post the same questions over and over.

The bonus 20% time has been extended to 8AM CENTRAL TIME, which is 1 extra hour due to technical difficulties.
It seems like the bonus 20% will be applied to when the confirmation happened. It wouldn't be fair in any way to not credit people who in fact did purchase within the acceptable time line. It is 100% your paranoia speaking. Rest assured, this is a very experienced team and not crediting people who've bought during the 20% bonus period would be absurdly unfair and cause outrage.

Gmail worked fine for me, Outlook didn't though.
Is there an anonymous list to show people invest how many BTC's? Top investors etc.
