Bancor ICO has crashed MEW

[paulmaritz]

so meaning the reason why im not able to see my balance in mew yesterday beacause of too much investment entering in bancor. 

Did you add BNT as a custom token? If you did and didn't see any balance (assuming there is supposed to be a balance), it is because the node(s) you used at MEW to access the ETH network were down or out of action at the time.

I feel lucky I gave it up at the last minute. Bancor does not seems to be a profitable project, better to hold my ETH.

no I didnt add it because my tx got cancelled.

at first I couldnt get a response on the MEW node so changed the node to etherscan.io at the 1 hour marker
that went through but disappeared then showed up about 10 minutes later as pending
by about the 2 hour marker it just cancelled the tx and the eth was returned to my MEW,
now the tx says it doesnt exist
though my MEW says it was a failed tx to the Bancorcrowdsale and the reason given in tx is "cancelled"

Seems the Bancor ICO has crashed the main MEW node so you cannot access the MyEtherWallet and send Eth to buy into the ICO

the way round it , supposedly, was to click on top right corner in MEW and change the node

 but having done that and getting a MEW message to say I successfully sent using the etherscan.io node , I cannot find my tx anywhere, it appeared to send successfully, but has yet to show up anywhere is not even pending on etherscan.io
not going to risk sending again in case something is wrong out there.

Bancor twitter says the ICO has been deliberately attacked.

will be interesting to see what comes of this. it's a big balls up all round for people trying to invest.

EDIT:

my pending tx has only just showed up on etherscan.io about 20 minutes later, so was completely missing until now.

also Bancor have announced they are extending the 1 hour guarantee to 3 hours due to the network attack but this has broken contract for people who paid BitcoinSuisseAG good money to guarantee there position in that hour. thats going to be a legal mess they are going to have to deal with when the dust settles.

interesting times.

It seems that the  main MEW node need more improvement to hold large transactions in a short time. Maybe it is a not a bad thing for technology improvement.

In other words, beyond the gas spent, you're still sitting with most of your ETH.

I am not sure whether that was a good idea since the project has amazed a record collection for their ICO and it ended in three hours or so,really waiting to see what their price would be since there are many investors in the project,i am able to use MEW ,i am not sure what happened earlier.

Price will surely decrease at a time. Why ? Overvalued ICO and if at least people were making use of the smart tokens that will have stabilized the market. But as i see it only pumps and dumps along hypes and fomo on exchange release

[davhek]

I'm sure the price will decrease. The bubble grew too big and it has to explode soon

[Emperor of Man]

It was truly embarrassing. My first transaction didn't even go through, and my second went through after about 2 hours of being "pending"! I wasn't even using MEW node (at least it gave me errors)!

The team took advantage well though, as they extended the minimum fundraiser time from 1 to 3 hours, and made millions more.

I'm sure the price will decrease. The bubble grew too big and it has to explode soon

The team buys back the tokens at ICO price, so we shouldn't expect it to be under ICO price.
