Sorry but that's just not true :-)  You use AWS or Azure or a proven provider that can easily handle the traffic.

Would you think the same thing if they launch the exchange and it goes down in the first hour?  Would that be acceptable?  Now is the time to prove that they have everything well in hand and are pros through and through.

I bought EON btw - I want them to succeed - but I'm not going to be an apologist for a bad launch, especially because it can negatively impact my investment.

Yes and no. It still depends on the hosting.
My guess is, they have a bad hosting. And you don t know if a host is bad until proven so.
Based on the participation, they didn't get a ton of traffic.  There are ways to simulate traffic prior to a launch.

This was preventable.

Well, a site depends on the hosting. And there is not much a website owner can do about it.
I think they ve handled it well.

257 Btc in few hours.
Is this fast or what?

No. Yesterday Gnosis raised $12 mil in about 15 minutes.

However, Gnosis was setup in a way that encouraged people to bid irrationally (dutch auction).

Nonetheless, I think this lacks strong marketing, a premier name associated with the project, and the issues with the website today don't help one bit.  I like the project, but when your whole plan is to build a financial platform and you don't have your website up to the task of an ICO, that's concerning.  Not a great first step.
