It's childish to claim that IOTA will fail if a semi-arbitrary level of donations isn't reached. Over time, they will come in even if it's not hit RIGHT AT launch. People should donate, yes. But scare tactics never works.

Yeah, everyone listen to the sad scammer. Ha ha, gtfo cancer kid.

And guess what. No DAO

Vcash, wow you guys are fucking hilarious! No votes for Paycoin?
IOTA is the ONLY of these projects that brings something brand new to the table.

Arguing ICO price in IOTA is as useful as trying to buy Ethereum at $0.40. Try if you want, but I doubt you will get any.

My prediction is $40-$60 on launch, and $150-$200 once people realize what it is, and see some of the partnerships.

Live beta period. It will also take exchanges time to do due diligence on brand new code (it's not like any other altcoin)

Absolutely nothing proves that kryptonight isn't a bought account and everyone gets scammed. Good luck with your purchases, you are gonna need  it. Since he won't verify balance.

Can someone post their start up config for pool mining with sgminer (AMD cards)?

80% of the people commenting in this thread post-crowdsale are just sour they missed it.

I love crazy people. I can only assume you are also buying Bitcoin for $40

You will be able to buy IOTA privately this week, and then on exchanges depending on when they add it.

It's that kind of thinking that had people selling ETH for 0.0005 before market. Where is it now again? I'm not selling IOTA before  it hits $50 million+
Valuation has almost nothing to do with ICO price, and we have seen that enough time for it to be a pointless talking point.

The fact that the development team compares this coin and it's massive premine to Ethereum and somehow thinks that people are going to swallow 11 million coin premine based on 'It's just like Ethereum they also premined' (But without the team, vision, 20k BTC ICO and corporate projects) is a joke. What part of 11 MILLION premine killing the coin don't you get? No one cares if it's 'community owned', it's 100% unnecessary, and the 'But we all work full time on this' is just laughable as an excuse for giving yourself free money.

With the 4x longer block time than Ether, and literally NO word on what makes this coin 'better for your purposes' than Ether a Premine over 100k is a complete no-go for most people. Look at what happened to Shift (the first Ether copy-paste) and block-times, price and premine. Yeah, it's pretty much dead already because there is NO profit to be made from mining with 250k coins hanging in the air and price tanking.

TLDR: 'Fairly distributed' , 11 million coin premine. ROTFL!

Common, of course you can trust the team! The main dev is the hero behind the super successful and widely used Franko that was totally not a pump and dump... http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/franko/

Oh wait.. "Maybe" it's a total retard idea to think that a bunch of script kiddies should be trusted with 11 million coins as a 'community fund'...just MAYBE!

But then again, if you take a 100% copy-paste coin seriously, maybe you have bigger issues. Though seriously, this one is dead pre-launch even as a pump and dump with that premine.

You do realize that 180 SFT is a week's mining for someone with 25 MH/s. If this was paid for a minor bug find we can only assume SFT is worth $0.10 or less, making mining at this point non-profitable.

2 things that need to happen immediately to give this coin a chance:

Burn at least 200k of the premine immediately. A premine that represents MONTHS of mining is killing any value this coin could ever have.

Deposit remaining 50k into a multi-signature or escrow account with 2 or more hero members and define clear bounty payouts. There is NO incentive mining if someone finding a spelling error in the wallet client gets 1000 SFT as bounty (about 2 months of mining at 40 MH/s)

So.. what is the structure of the rewards for blocks? Just realized that I have no idea if all blocks are same size from Genesis etc. Seems wide open for instamining with super-blocks. Current block reward is 3 per block?

Sorry not trying to be THAT much of a dick. But in my opinion solid manual, detailed instructions etc. would have been super useful at launch. It works though so I guess the launch was somewhat 'OK' (Seen a lot worse).

How do you even check balance? And what is reward per block etc. Jezus, I get so tired of these 'Launches' where no info is provided.
