Can I get a clarification as to when the first day officially ends? Is it UCT time and what does that translate into EST time?

I noticed that in my payment entry documenting btc received earlier today that it already shows 4/13. Has the first day already ended?

Would appreciate definitive word on when the exact deadline is.

Thanks!

[josegines]

Very good first day

[Gotly1931]

I received my 200 WAVE coins yaaaaay. I will try depositing again before the 20% bonus ends.

This is a major release of ICO, congratulations WAVES team. But I believe the ICO time is too great. There is some BTC collection target?

Great question. You should find ALL your answers here: https://blog.wavesplatform.com/how-to-participate-in-the-waves-ico-87d04a6d043c#.gq740wr2n

4) Users who buy WAVES tokens on 12 April will receive a bonus of 20%, which will be credited to their account immediately.Those who participate before the end of April (13–30 April) will receive a 10% bonus, and those who participate from 1–15 May will receive a 5% bonus.
5) At the end of the ICO, 85 million WAVES will be distributed proportionally to investors, including the early investor bonuses, based on the total funds collected. 15 million WAVES will be retained by the founding team for development and marketing.
6) When the WAVES mainnet is operational (likely within a month of ICO ending), you will be able to create a new address and withdraw your WAVES to it, or to a supporting exchange.

In 11 hours and 50 minutes 20% bonus will be over in standard way. If some new tech issues appear we will prolong this period. Not planned for now.

You need to submit your email on https://ico.wavesplatform.com/

Check next also your spam folders.

After you receive your password, you will be able to log in to your account and you will see deposit address.

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.

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.

That was exactly my case, I simply never run my Outlook mail.

WAVES per account is stabilizing, which means the initial rush is dying down and that people are starting to see their WAVES in their account to reflect what they paid. Everyone's patience paid off! We could've blown up this forum with complaint after complaint. It goes to show how amazing the WAVES community is thus far by helping one another and being extremely patient.

Currently, the rate is about

54 WAVES / $1
540 WAVES / $10
5400 WAVES / $100
11, 750 WAVES / 0.5 BTC
23,500 WAVES / 1 BTC.

Now that we're getting back on track and things are become more smooth, let's all have a beer and drink to getting rich

[FriendlyBit]

- got email (gmail) and it was in spam folder
- btc sent and in less than 10 min and 2 confirmations i got my WAVES 

Thanks

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.

So much fucking spam on here could be big updates and you wouldnt know..

All these noob accounts asking the same question every 2 mins, maybe a separate Waves thread is required for numpties

[philakone]

Quick update summary post. 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?


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.

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.

Current rate is roughly
54 WAVES / $1
540 WAVES / $10
5400 WAVES / $100
11, 750 WAVES / 0.5 BTC
23,500 WAVES / 1 BTC

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?

Be sure to check spam folder first. The email you should receive is from: rideon@wavesplatform.com

If not in the spam folder, then your patience is much appreciated. Everyone has received their email thus far, only a matter of when. 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:

kushti is here (writing from a some place in Russia, yes).

First, some historical points. Scorex was started in Nov, 2014 as kinda funny project. To that moment, I spent few months working for Nxt. As you may know, Nxt prevents forking with closing code not released into production yet and also by somewhat terrible licensing(since 1.5?). Anyway, it has a lot of forks, and some of them with very interesting ideas (e.g. BURST).

To have thing open to the extreme I've published Scorex under CC0(Public Domain) license, so everyone can do literally anything with the code.

Since last autumn development of Scorex is subsidized by IOHK, and since Feb I'm a Research Fellow and Scorex project director in IOHK Research.
-------

Well, Scorex(as well as papers publicly published) could be used in any project. That surely does not mean collaboration with IOHK. However, we would like to get issues on core functionality to be reported to resolve and also (and especially) pull requests. 

Me & Sasha, Charles & Sasha, and three of us have some conversations after Sasha's decision to build Waves on top of Scorex. No any collaboration has been established to the moment as a result. And that is surely up to Charles.

I do not endorse neither oppose Waves ICO. I do not have much technical details, and I'm not competent in other topics.
