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.

So it lasted 27 days?

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.

Yes, the great distribution Iota had will help tremendously with its success.

This remains to be seen.

I still think a much wider distribution would have been better.

Hey, don't come on the thread acting like we didn't have a good distribution based on the fact you didn't hear about it.

1. It lasted 27 days.

2. There were threads about it in the altcoin discussion section then, too.

3. I understand your account got hacked, or banned during the ICO and you had other things going on, which is why you're cryptohunter2. Thats not Iotas fault, and certainly doesn't make our perfectly fine distribution any different. Sorry you got hacked or whatever.

4. Even when you did hear about Iota, you didnt bother to verify statements made by an insane troll, before you posted and repeated his garbage. You had nothing but doubts about it and posted false rumors about our devs as quoted below from the Iota - Unmoderated Thread

And now it's the distribution.

Get a life.

Seems weird we can't on this board get a collective of the best verified coders to examine projects and give a collective judgement. I mean if it is true the person coding this out is not even a 3rd rate programmer and this is verified by know expert coders then it surely that is quite a terrible indication of things to come.

Who are the known and verified best crypto people on this board? Is there a list of verified crypto specialists anywhere?

If every new IPO had a peer review done on their whitepaper by 20 top verified experts on this forum and the majority of the experts just said it looks like techno babble to suck in greedy noob investors then that could be of great use to stopping these scamming ipo

I don't seem to understand this thread.

So

cfb - is he a coder or the 24 yr old boy that keeps getting referred to?

Iota - is the concept good with interesting new ideas that can be coded out into a viable project if they had an expert coder on the team or is the entire thing techno babble that looks great to the average man but is essentially a pointless exercise that is only obvious to experts in the field?

How can cfb seemingly argue with anonymint about things and anonymint even acknowledge Iota as giving him food for thought (not sure he said exactly that ) if cfb (or his hired coder) isn't a good programmer or very knowledgeable in crytpo?

What i mean is if this coder is 3rd rate and the other is a 24yr old boy with no real experience in crypto how did they dream up something that has so many people on this board investing and hasn't anonymint and other experts just laughing at the nonsense of it all?

Should I be thankful i missed the ipo on this one or not?

If lots of other verified experts on here said they suspected the same as the OP then this would be too late now but at least everyone would know they got shafted. Let's bring them here

Well, were all here now Cryptopunter2
