How long after entering your email should you be receiving an email to buy Waves ICO?

I've tried entering 2 different emails into the ICO site, and nothing has happened for hours.

Is there another way to buy these before launch besides inputting your email into the ICO site, or should I just wait until after launch and the tokens hit the exchanges?

After you enter your email and set your password, you should be logged in at once. Next you should receive confirmation email.

If you used those emails in first day while procedure was being updated please use new one or write to rideon@wavesplatform.com for help.

when I try to set my password it says that it must be 8 characters at least, and I'm at like 16 characters.  Something is wrong.  It don't like my 16 character password

Looks like Mycellium ICO has broken $2m mark (4,562.988 BTC) - and still 7 hrs to go.  Good news for them but also good news for Waves.

I think the Mycellium partnership is what differentiates this ICO from others.  Mycellium isn't going anywhere...they're a staple of the BTC community.

I bought Waves two different times during the ICO. I am thinking about getting more Waves before the ICO ends.

 

Funny that we're in a Laffer Curve framework here. Too many BTC means too much dilution, but too few BTC means inadequate development funds in re the plans. I hope we end up near the optimum.

I think we're past the optimum now. Beyond a certain point increased dev funds do more harm than good, (why work too hard, we're already rich), combine that with IPO investors constantly whining that price is well below ICO, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Ideally what you want is hungry devs who can see the prize ahead, but it's out of reach, and investors supportive and active with the same feeling (the prize of increased marketcap is in sight, but needs time and support to achieve).

With WAVES I can see an avalanche of post ICO negativity as everyone who wants into WAVES will be so up to their balls, so price is heading south, and the devs tolerance for complaints, and hunger for 24/7 startup work ethic will not exist after a few months, as they're already rich.

I agree with the idea that there is probably a "sweet spot" for BTC raised. I liked the quote: "too many BTC means too much dilution, but too few means inadequate development funds." That sums it up well.

You make some really good points to consider. But I'm not sure we're past the optimum now. But we certainly could get there.

The devs to me seem full of ambition and vision. I'm not sure they would be inclined to take things easy just because they are "already rich." I sense they have a lot of integrity and a strong desire to bring their vision to pass. I think they know their reputations are on the line and they will probably push and push until all their goals and dreams are realized. Also, I seem to remember that in order to implement their loftiest visions will require a lot of funds as some of the licenses they seek can be very expensive to obtain. I don't understand this world that well to provide the details, but I'm sure some people could.

I've thought that breaking the 10k BTC milestone would be ideal for this project. It looks almost certain that will happen. I'm not sure we should blast through that to something like 15k or beyond, but there might be hidden benefits to that outcome that I can't see. For me something like 11k BTC would still feel right and good. Past that, I might start to share the concerns you stated so well.

I would say 10k-15k BTC raised is the sweet spot for ICO's today. Not too much but not too little either. Just right.

I hope you won't buy more WAVES before ICO ends and decide to buy from Poloniex after it hit the markets.
Everytime you buy WAVES my overall WAVES balance is decreasing and I hate to see it melting.

Now I only have about 350+ Waves, i wish the ICO ends. I'm not buying and i can't buy more since my coins are tied somewhere else too.
So its confirmed that WAVes are going to be released first on Polo?

One question about the ICO.

Can I send BTC from an exchange like Coinbase or Poloniex and still be able to claim my waves tokens after the launch?

or do I need to be able to know my BTC private key and must send from BitcoinQT or blockchain wallet?

[npredtorch]

I don't understand people who are always moaning about the fact that the amount of their WAVES or any other coins is decreasing.
It's same with pretty much every ICO, not just waves.

If the amount of your coins you will get goes down because people are investing then each coin will also be more valuable. I'm pretty sure everyone knows this, so why I see so many people doing this? Hype?

Ahmm no, i think they are just aware that waves will be successful enough that each piece of waves token will be more valuable than other coins/token , that's why every piece to them are important. Let's just say a "token to success" and you can't blame them if they want and think of that.

They should be happy with that the more the price of its waves decreases the more it become valuable. I would really be happy if that will happen everyday. This project is not a scam and I believe in this, that is why I am investing a huge portion of my earnings in this project. I don't mind what other will say besides it is money that is being risk.

After the ICO is over tokens can be withdrawn from the ICO platform. If waves is already on exchanger you can send your waves to exchange to sell your waves.

So is that a "yes" you can send BTC to the ICO without knowing the private key you sent them from, or "no" you cannot send BTC to the ICO unless you know your private key otherwise, you will not be able to claim the waves tokens.

Although it is true that each token's value increases as the personal token count goes down, there is something most people seem to be missing. The less tokens you have means the less impact your supply will have when the POS starts. This dwindling personal token count is bad news for those who actually want to hold this token and earn a small income through the POS leasing. As a small investor in Waves, I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed.

You can deposit from exchange, you have your personal deposit address inside your account.

However it is always recommended to deposit from personal wallet.

[useless eater]

it is always recommended to deposit from personal wallet.

Why does it matter as long as the BTC makes it to its destination I should not need anymore information (address or priv key sent from) in order to claim my waves right.

Assuming that the transaction goes through, why would a personal wallet be better than an exchange wallet (after the transaction clears)?

I agree with you mate.
So what we should expects from waves launch?
