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. https://etherscan.io/address/0x4e8c49fab23532ef2ed14058639f55cf45bade1ehttps://etherscan.io/address/0x59438809e11ef3a9e197de965abbfd6792092b76https://etherscan.io/address/0x9fad7a730ba976ea8cbcf8fcd6e4c217386520a8https://etherscan.io/address/0x188fb986e8932e8469578430acaa5a2c12f5c48bhttps://etherscan.io/address/0xe3c2e9512ea8026b68f69012944e89238a011ac7https://etherscan.io/address/0x71d8b9755bbca15fc491e6520c21e319a574680bhttps://etherscan.io/address/0xeae47e717bb68f80180382e954320bed9072676bhttps://etherscan.io/address/0x8c63dfba829060122225d22c9d1d33841d8468d0https://etherscan.io/address/0x47fcb6d294aad242088b026ad87867166c375207https://etherscan.io/address/0xe777cde17e532f78227554607872adbb36597f06also, EOS seems to be maybe the most transacted token at finex: https://etherscan.io/tokentxns?a=0x1151314c646ce4e0efd76d1af4760ae66a9fe30f&p=1I 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. Maybe I'm missing some other possibility but it seems like either:

EOS, maybe it is good idea. It can be launched in a far and transparent way. They always create interesting project though for sure.

You were specifically asking.... " block.one claims the ICO is being audited.. when can I review this audit?" Now that you got your answer, you decided that an audit is not good enought for you? really??

Just learning about EOS, it seems very ambitious for sure, but a lot of FUD around.
had I known about this project few weeks earlier, I would have gotten some EOS, but with the price already up 400% since few weeks ago, I'm not sure...

Depends on the audit. If Roger Ver makes a youtube video saying "trust me" then no (for those who don't remember, he did this for Gox in 2014). But if a legit auditor confirms that their bank accounts + digital currencies correspond to the amounts received in the ICO, that would certainly instill confidence. I agree with your post tho, I did move the goal posts a little ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Thought about the transactions I posted above, and it's certainly possible that most people buy on exchange, and some people are making a small spread between ICO price and exchange price (sometimes there is a difference). In that case it would make sense to see the transactions posted above, but shenanigans are also possible, which is why I look forward to seeing the audit.

Also i have to admit, the line that say that EOS token cannot be used for nothing (they are pretty much defined useless by their own creators...) on their FAQ is understandable (they have to protect themselves) but it's still really scary.

In fact, they do not use collected ethers to re-contribute money to the ICO. Instead, they buy back tokens on Bitfinex and support the price. When price fell from the top to the very bottom people complained that EOS token is falling and were dissapointed, so I believe that EOS decided to spend part of the collected ethers to do buy backs and support the price. It's not bad in my opinion. At least, if they won't dump these tokens one day.

lol, nice finds, those "EOS has syphilis!" guys are always funny. the pain in the eth camp is reaching critical levels. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I wish I'm around in a couple of years when EOS will start reaching or surpassing their marketcap and watch their reactions.

I got my tokens from Shapeshift on the Exdous wallet. Can anyone tell me when EOS goes into production are these exchangable into some sort of new EOS token?

they will be exchangeable. FAQ on https://www.eoscollective.org/ should explain how the transition happens and link you to resources on steps you need to take.

There is still nothing build from EOS side and too much fund raised. I hope this will not turn to scam.

Well you can check on Press.One it is a Content Distribution Public Chain (CDPC) based on the EOS blockchain infrastructure. Wait up to meet up on Virginia. Blacksburg, Virginia's first Meetup this November with the Dev team of eos, if you are part of community of EOS and residence on Virginia, you can go there and share with us on here, what's happening on there, due to i am not from Virginia. Let's wait and see about the development of eos blockchain. Thank you very much https://www.meetup.com/EOSBLACKSBURG/

All of us are waiting. I believe we should buy more closer to the end of sale. Now it is not clear what will happen.

Hi all, I have my eos still on bitfinex and want to move them off. Is there any advantage to keeping them on there? Can I store my eos on my ledger nano? Thank!
