I don't get this:

ICO Update:

No matter what we do, three people end up buying all of the ICO. A few hundred people bought ~100 or 300 coins, but 2 or 3 people buy up the rest of the ICO round in 50 or 100 Bitcoin blocks.
[...]

But at https://www.c2cx.com/trade_sky you are still selling coins (Total SKY Redeemed: 263465 of 500000 SKY).

Or am I getting something wrong?

yes, it is current partial ICO (max 500000 skycoins)
I see big players are coming in...

Total SKY Redeemed: 265985 of 500000 SKY
Only one 1 BTC bought in a week. The price is obviously too high, and the ICO is becoming a fail.

Dev, may I suggest you close the ICO in a week now and distribute the remaining coins to investors ?

 No discounted distribution, please. As I invested almost 2 years ago @2500 SKY per BTC I didn't gain a lot being an early investor (while those BTC I invested might be more profitable in other ventures during that time, 20% price change is nothing for such a risky endeavour, especially in crypto). Early investors were communicating with the dev via bitmessage and it will be hardly possible to distribute the remaining coins to them as Spratan proposed. I think that such a steady price increment is an obstacle for ICO. Why the hell should we risk that much if next partial ICO will be about 1500 SKY per BTC?

You are right, the price during the first ICO was maybe too high initially. I didn't know the first price, and It is not sane that early adopters earn so little after 2 years delay.
The good news is people usually whine in other coins, that early adopters took the lion part and the gap between first and second ICO is too high. If Skycoin is succesful, everybody will know that the price was the same during 2 years and they had enough time to buy.

never been able to get skycoin to work and still cant, starting to think there is something not quite right here

Did you try downloading the wallet from the website?
- http://skycoin.net

Did you try downloading and running it from source?
- http://github.com/skycoin/skycoin

We have fixed many wallet bugs, but Electron still has bugs in it. Some web browsers have trouble with Angular 2.0 web apps too.

I had the same problem. I finally fixed it by uninstalling and removing the Windows application data for Skycoin, and doing a clean install. Now it works great.

I'm really looking forward to the Software Defined Network rollout (love that term).

If you want more funding change the title to "SKYCOIN ICO just launched (date) 51% attack resistant/new code/etc.. " I feel like sky has been in development for too long. Many do not know that it has an ICO.

 ... and change exchange rate, early adopters deserve more )

As a late adopter I like it how it is LOL
We both will see plenty gain when it hits exchanges. The dev has been working hard. Hodl!

Slow development is the biggest problem

if you want to do the ICO, i think you should be more active.

Thanks for the help.
I deleted skycoin but still files left in 2 areas I can find being .skycoin with the wallet and stuff in it and app data - roaming -Skycoin with other things in it.
Should I just try and delete everything and instal the none electron client?

When ico is over will skycoin be instantly tradable because it is already on an exchange? That would be pretty cool

[Mrboot]

The price of the ico is insane, 2000 for 1 btc.

That with a 100 million coin supply eventually means you evaluated your coin already on 50 million.

@skycoin

maybe you can ''do daily look'' on this topic

[xtester]

There should be an update soon, perhaps by the end of the week.

Maybe this is the future of ico prices. Similar to NBA salaries now vs the 70's

Does someone know when the next distribution round will be? I have tried to find the info myself but I cannot seem to find it.

Many thanks

Updates on the github happen literally every day.

I would like a progress review post.. what has been done and what on the to do list and what is the future...?

I bought the ICO today, I understand it has been development for 7 years, do this mean it nearly fully featured..?
