ICO's are bullshit

in crypto •  8 years ago  (edited)

So my subject line is pretty direct because twice now I have been unable to participate in ICO's and I call bullshit. The first ICO (BAT) I did everything correct, even upped my gas limit to "Fast AF". I received a confirmation from Etherscan but my ETH was returned to me nonetheless. Today again with (status) I clicked generate transaction the minute it hit the block, Gas- FAST AF and still nothing.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's a fucking duck.

@altcoinusa $ETh $Status

UPDATE: Well guys I spoke too soon. Apparently I did get into the Status ICO. The transaction went through 5 hours after I hit generate. So I guess I might owe an apology... Good fucking luck, What takes 5 hours these days?

I think you may mean STATUS. I also ran into this problem. I tried with both BAT and STATUS and nothing on either. This really does show a scaling problem with ethereum IMO. In a global market, there will be this many transactions all the time, not just during ICOs.

And I agree with you completely about the scaling issue.

you are correct. I did mean STATUS. Thank you for being a spelling nazi. just kidding I should spell-check my work. good catch

Shit happens! Hopefuly it will speed up! Today is interesting day for cryptos...

Hmmm... Beware with some crypto currencies ! ;p Thank you for this post !

Same here...couldn't get in either one.

@rlavie985 agreed 100% great post

I need know INMEDIATLY what flower is that

Ask my business partner, he made it. His handle is AltcoinLife

I guess you have to be like Jsnip4 to make great money in an ICO.

Lots of new money coming into the market. Companies doing ICOs without programming right. More and more often. I still think we need to better regulate ICOs
