I did an ETH transaction 24h ago and its still "pending"
This cannot be good for ICO's.
Also I just did a BTC transaction and paid 12$ in fee.
I can see these things hurt Sophias ICO
wasted so many fail tx gas, not moving anything until the hardfork or some good news
You can invest with other options , maybe you can try with DCT
I invested with ETH today, used 50gwei and it went through after maybe half a minute or so. But it was also maybe not in the "rush hour". Still much cheaper then Bitcoin transactions :/
But yes, DCT would be another solution, but still you need to move other currencies maybe to buy DCT.
