I wouldn't call bitcoin 'simple' but you are right when you say Cardano is more complex.

From what I understand when reading their white paper (I haven't read it all because it's alot to take in, but I did read some of it before investing):

Complexity isn't always a good thing, but what Cardano is trying to do is tackle the problems that BTC/ETH are facing at this moment. Not only the problems that they are facing now but also prep the coin for years and years to come. The crypto world is changing at an increased rate because of all the new money flowing into it and they want to provide a blockchain that can handle all of that without over the top transaction fees.
It's impossible to do all those things without making it more complex.

BTC = blockchain 1.0
ETH = blockchain 2.0
ADA = trying to build/become blockchain 3.0 (just like some other coins out there are trying to do)

Their team consists of highly educated people who know what they are doing. I think they could use some PR-people to maybe explain their project to the broader audience in clear English. In my opinion they are holding off on that untill they have something usefull and concrete to show. At this moment they are devoloping in the background, working on all their projects.

Please do read up on it if you are interested. Their website is jam packed with all the information you need.

Ok thanks alot for your response. Still finding my way in this crypto-maze, so much stuff going on I had no idea about.

Thanks again.

Hello everyone,

I just got started in the crypto world and was reading up on the EOS ICO.

I did some math, and I just want to know if I am missing something.

As far as I understand, they are releasing 2.000.000 tokens every week.
Distribution of these tokens are based on how much was donated during that period, rather then setting a fixed price.

So for example if I donate 1 ETH in this periode and the total amount of ETH donated is 2000 I would recieve:
(2.000.000/2000)*1 = 1.000 EOS tokens.

1 ETH = 480 dollar
1.000 EOS = 2.900 dollar (current rate - 28-11-2017 14:33)

Am I missing something here? This seems too good to be true...

I modified my post and removed the referral.

Just an update on the token-sale:

I'm pretty new to the crypto-currency world and ICO-stuff but this project is interesting to me. First ICO I invest in so pretty excited to see how it will turn out.
