EOS - Asynchronous Smart Contract Platform - (Dan Larimer of Bitshares/Steem)

Why is the price going up so fast last days. Any specific reason for this? There is much time until EOS finishes its ICO

Attractive low price and great prospects of the project.

That is true but this sole cannot be reason for 300% price raise IMO. There will be double tokens out there till next sommer that will dilute the total tokens

If I buy EOS at Bitfinex and I want to transfer them to my registered wallet. Then I use the ETHEREUM wallet address as deposit addresse, right?

[andron8383]

I have to admit that I was getting scared when EOS was bouncing off .5 $ , so glad that my patience paid off and I held firm.

I seriously believe in this project but there is too much hate for Dan. Personally I really dig the guy and his philosophy concerning governments and think his strategy of releasing this to the community was pure genius.

this is best long strategy ICO not 5min pump ICO and forget about project it can give everybody who belives in project opportunity to join

correct. they're Ethereum ERC-20 tokens so they are held in ethereum addresses.

What's the best way to communicate support for better anonymity / privacy in EOS?

What's the best way to communicate support for better anonymity / privacy in EOS?

FWIW, the developers seem to be aware that many folks in the community support privacy within the platform for 1) personal reasons, and 2) practicality of certain d'apps that folks want to build.

It's generally been suggested by the development team that there will be the ability to build privacy into the protocol, though likely at higher bandwidth requirements for d'apps.

Overall, I'm not sure how to best advocate for anonymity/privacy in EOS but I am with you in supporting it!

Last three posts above me.
Is this no longer an EOS thread?

EOS is a littl coming back, the price of EOS is looking good now, not 0.5 usd any more. The current price is decent and many investors are happy again. EOS is whales' coin.

Whats the price of EOS if I buy through ICO? Can anyone tell? And what about EOS on exchanges? Whats the difference?

[maot4]

Should have bought more when the price dropped as low as 0.5 :-(

[boyjackyou]

I am glad that i bought a lot of EOS when it was 0.5 i am making a good profit right now and i am hoping that will go moon .

Price is roughly the same.

Its all driven by demand, so the more ETH people contribute within the 23h period the less EOS tokens you are going to get.

When I got mine last month about 7000 eth was contributed so I recieved 277 (or 377 cant rememeber) eos tokens per eth, when i checked exchange next day I would have to pay 1.1 eth to get the same amount.

Have there been any rumors of announcements of any kind? Any reason specifically the price has risen over the last 10 days or so?

[weston4mills]

did anyone else have a problem withdrawing from kraken to other exchanges?

[maryhansenn]

If i buy the tokens now, and price goes up. I have 24 hour to claim my token.. will my token will be price on the time i bought the token or when i claim it?

[scaramanga1337]

where do u prefer to buy  -on the  exchanges or directly on the eos website?

[OverKiII]

Property is the best offline expense I understand, if I have a couple of hundred bitcoin, I want to purchase some fairly proper houses, then let, after a few years later I re-sell it, and it must be really worth higher after i purchase

It is depending on the numbers of contributing on the period, we can not do calculating truely about that the reason for it is To ensure inclusivity, EOS Tokens have no pre-determined price; rather price is set by market demand. So all of the community EOS has same chance to getting the EOS token and the new updating of EOS is the milestone,  https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/milestone/2

I'm seeing a pattern here: the addresses below (and many more; below is a sample) receive ETH from Bitfinex, send ETH to EOSCrowdsale address, receive EOS from crowdsale, then send EOS back to Bitfinex.

One explanation is arbitrage.  But according to https://eosscan.io/ the price for period #146 (which ended 25 min ago) was $1.72, and even tho Bitfinex received a ton of EOS right after period #146, the price didn't drop from $1.78 (it may have dropped 2 cents from $1.80).  If this pattern were just arbitrage, I'd expect the crowdsale price to be closer to the exchange prices.  I have witnessed this many times--ICO price a bit below exchange price, but the exchange price doesn't drop right after the period ends.  In other words, this pattern is probably not part of an arbitrage strategy.  If somebody is accumulating EOS, there is no need to send to Bitfinex.

also, EOS seems to be maybe the most transacted token at finex:

I am a huge fan of Dan Larimer, Steemit is a wonderful platform, and I really like the EOS project.  However, I cannot come up with a legitimate reason for the pattern I am seeing above.  The only explanation I can come up with is that ETH is being recycled into the ICO, and Bitfinex is being used to hide this recycling.  I hope I am wrong about this.  I trust Dan, and I would assume he's probably not involved in handling ICO funds.

Furthermore, suppose recycling of ETH was occurring.  The above behavior is exactly what you would expect to see.

Who has access to EOS ICO funds?
block.one claims the ICO is being audited.. when can I review this audit?

I've seen this: https://eos.io/faq.html but I don't blindly trust, especially with no way to verify.

26. Will block.one be contributing to the EOS Token distribution?
No, during the entire EOS Token distribution period, block.one will not do any of the following:
block.one will not purchase EOS Tokens by any means;
block.one will not pay any dividends to its shareholders; and
block.one will not perform any share buybacks.
block.one intends to engage an independent third party auditor who will release an independent audit report providing further assurances that block.one has not purchased EOS Tokens during the EOS Token distribution period or traded EOS Tokens (including using proceeds from the EOS Token distribution for these purposes). This report will be made available to the public on the eos.io website.

Have there been any rumors of announcements of any kind? Any reason specifically the price has risen over the last 10 days or so?

A testnet is coming in 2 weeks and 2 days:

https://medium.com/@eosforumorg/the-eos-testnet-is-here-in-1-month-heres-what-to-expect-2ef546cac6f1

This tesnet allows dApp creators to test their applications and hopefully we can test these as users as well. Think of social media dApps, trading dApps, gambling dApps and more. They will already allow
10K transactions per second for testing. The full network will launch on June 1st 2018 and will support hundreds of thousands of transactions per second.

So to answer your question: The devs are going quite fast and are ahead of schedule.

Another reason could be that EOS once was over $5.50 and went back to 50 cent or so.
