how to buy IOTA... and what price is it compared to the ICO.
I have no idea how I missed this ICO.
I've practically lived on this board for the last 3 years?
how long did this ICO last?
IOTA was announced late October, crowdsale started late November and lasted to late December. We were covered in all the crypto-sites, several of the crypto slacks, so not sure how you missed it either. We didn't have a marketing budget and we didn't want to hype it for months, so we couldn't pull a Ethereum or Augur, but several hundred participated, so I think you must've just been unlucky if you didn't catch it.
The best way to acquire IOTA now is to either:
1. Offer some work, community members may put up a bounty or pay for tasks
2. Wait for it to come on exchanges after launch
3. Buy from someone (you should use trusted escrow)
Yes, that was unfortunate.
I think such an ambitious and revolutionary product should have had a far larger ICO in terms of length and awareness.
It seems very alive on the main board now. I notice nothing else other than IOTA threads.
The initial distribution of a token/coin I believe is core to it's acceptance later on.
