Let's be honest guys, who all is getting in on this shit?

i thought about it then changed my mind. it seems risky. maybe if they had advertisers and users lined up but how many people are even using this browser?

>>2223326
over a million
has over 700k downloads on android I think
doesnt list number of apple store downloads
doesnt list the number of desktop downloads

i heard the phone browser is good. i tried the desktop, it was ugly. not many people will turn on ads evenn for pennies. so the only people that would use the coin are publishers and advertisers. the publishers would most likely sell it right away. so i would say it's not worth the risk.

I will invest something like 500€ worth
it may be risky, but the reward could be very high.

>>2223342
That seems reasonable. I'm tied up in other shit I feel more confident about so I'm going to pass but if I wasn't, I know I'd be more interested.

>>2223340
also, given the ico hysteria these days where everyone wants to ride the next moon mission, it will probably be overpriced

>>2223351
the ico? or after the ico?
Overpriced is great for the short term flippers who got in on the ICO

>>2223354
the ico. also, the founder being who he is and given that they already have many downloads on mobile, i would say it would be more overpriced than normal.

anyone know the usual timeline for how long a new ico takes to get put on an exchange
when can i expect to see BAT or bancor or mysterium on bittrex?

>>2223358
the ICO is a 24M cap.
Aragon was like 23M.

BAT is much more hyped and talked about than Aragon was and Aragon is trading at a near 100% increase in 7 days

>>2223360
gatecoin

>>2223370
Gatecoin and liqui.io usually have the new ICO's in about an hour or two after they close.

Relatively low volume exchanges though

>>2223369

That was a red flag in itself.

The ICO was 15m. They saw how well Aragon did and just decided to increase it by 9m two weeks before the launch. Why? 'Advertising' they say.

going balls deep on BAT and Bancor. should be good.

Is this shit getting released on the 31st or in an hour? Because their website says it's getting released in an hour?

>>2223801
probably an hour then

https://basicattentiontoken.org/token/

>>2223315

guess i'll buy a little, which exchange?

>>2223835
>https://basicattentiontoken.org/
ico

I'm avoiding BAT.

There will be no widespread adoption of their shitty browser, Google owns the Web Store and they won't allow any sort of competition that'll kill off their golden goose ie advertising. Fierfox is funded by Google Inc, they own the browser market.
Google has held off letting addons (eg adblock) into Chrome, even though mobile ads are a disaster for UI and ruin the experience. Why? $$$

>>2223315
How do you buy into an ICO? How does the process look? Can someone walk me through it?

>>2223326

The real answer these shills won't tell you. Nobody.

Brave browser is literally unknown. Only a few neets use it. You can't compete against Google, glad you changed your mind it's a hopeless project.

I don't know how am i supposed to buy this ?

Nevermind I get it, they're just revealing the transaction info in a hour, you're not supposed to send them money until two days from now.

>>2223883

If you look at the adoption of Firefox Mobile it's dire, even though they are a known bramd.

I'm amazed people are so lacking insight on here and elsewhere that they think a new and unknown browser like Brave can have any sort of impact.

Ask yourself: How many filthy NEETs here would want get paid in ETH while watching trap porn and avoiding their parents upstairs?

>>2223807
it says:

02 Days 00 Hours 18 Minutes 45

Why is their site so confusing

I was ready to send $400 in 15min when their address drops

We have to wait for 2 more days? What were to happen if I sent it then? I am sure many other people will send it too.

What about Bancor and Mysterium?

>>2224016
15 min, where are you getting this from?

>>2224025
Their main site says 2 days 15min but their address reveal site says 15min

BAT Blog and main site says 2 days

Their token site says 8 minutes

Not sure what to make of this

>>2224030

link please?

>>2223360
>>2223390
>Bancor
Any idea when the ICO actually kicks off?

I honestly like Mysterium much more even though I have some issues with it as well. This BAT stuff is autistic as fuck.

The Basic Attention Token sale will begin on Wednesday, May 31, 2017, at approximately 8 am PDT / 3 pm GMT / 11 pm CT-China. The sale will last up to 30 days or until the cap of the equivalent in $24 million in ETH (fixed at contract push) is sold. At that time of the sale, we will deploy the contract to the Ethereum network. The contract address will be revealed approxmately 2 days before the commencement of the sale. The exact time of the token sale is subject to a block number.

>The contract address will be revealed approxmately 2 days before the commencement of the sale.

It's been pushed back because kikes gonna kike. No date right now.

Here's something to help you guys.
https://www.icoalert.com/

>>2224084
BAT looks promising because it by the guys behind Java, Mozilla, and Firefox and they have lots of backing.

Honestly I plan to pump in dump and hold some in case they blow up

I am holding out for Bancor and Mysterium

Just not sure when Bancor will do theirs

>>2224086

fuck that's confusing, doesn't fill me with confidence :P

>>2224100
I think their goal was to release the address early so people can set their shit up in advance of the actual token sale on the 31st.

>>2223315
where can I buy this shit?

the amount of people here who don't know what an ICO is, really astounding. shows how new you are immediately.

>>2224108
fuck, transferring BTC to trade for ether and I thought I had longer for it to clear...

This thing would be good if it had Chrome and Firefox plugins.

Who the fuck uses Brave? But I guess the hype alone will make this thing work.

>>2223315
I'm not sure if I've got my timezones right, but you should have a few hours to see how being added to the Chinese exchanges works out before the BAT ICO launches. Best to make your final decision then.

As for BAT itself, I'm still undecided as to whether I'll throw any money at it. I agree there's huge potential. It will be the only crypto currently dipping its toes into the sea of money which is advertising, that alone should give some returns. Though nothing like the 10x many people here are fantasizing about.

I'm not as negative on brave browser as the other people here. There's a gap in the market for people who want to browse the internet and dislike the google botnet but aren't fond of Tor's reputation as being used by criminals. Even at approximately 3.5% adoption, opera still rakes in a lot of money. What does concern me is whether users would really be prepared to deliberately enable ads on a browser based around privacy and adblocking.

Regardless of the glaringly obvious problems, I think the market will generally agree it's worth more than the 24M marketcap they're asking for. Plus there's going to be a lot of heavily invested shills floating around for a while, which ought to keep this from catastrophically divebombing.

2 minutes past 8 AM and now announcement. I really don't like this project so far. So far all it has is big name developers but if you go to the main guy's website there's nothing on there about BAT. This seems sketchy.

Where as Mysterium, I've been on their slack talking to their developer and I can get answers fairly quickly. Those dudes seem all in on it.

This... I dunno... just seems like autistic faggotry to me so far. The idea is cool but... I dunno... maybe I'll just wait until it hits an exchange.

>Stellar team
>They decide to bound themselves and their product to Brave of all fucking things
Ask yourself, what's Brave current marketshare today?

>>2224134
nice timezone working out brainlet

BAT is a semi long hodl.
It will go to 200+ million in a month or two just like gnosis.
Some morons will sell to get their small testicles 50% gains the smart money will wait for the 10x.

Also, the team behind BAT and Brave are adamantly against 'hoarding' tokens and will do anything to promote the marketability to advertisers, i.e. they will happily dilute the market or artificially keep the price low to be marketable. No advertiser will want to get in if the price does pump up 3x from the ICO in a short space of time.

I know there's a cap on the tokens but that can change - just look at the hasty large increase in the ICO two weeks before it launches.

>>2224159

how long are you planning to hold for?

>>2224159

That's what I don't understand. If these coins are to be used for their advertising service, wouldn't they artificially control the price?

Are these the tokens they're going to pay NEETs for watching ads on Brave?

>>2224159
They don't give a shit what investors do. They care about the users of BAT. They obviously need to make their investors money or else brenden eich and everyone on the team will lose their credibility forever.

it's as simple as that. you people are thinking there are other things to this when there just aren't. we are investors. we are paying them to develop this technology further for future returns. That's what's happening here.

>>2224164
Until at least 200 mill cap.
This is gnosis level potential without the gnosis ICO shitshow.

>>2224126
>fuck, transferring BTC to trade for ether and I thought I had longer for it to clear...
How long does it take? I'm thinking about buying some BTC today to do the same thing.

>>2224254
Might be too late. it takes ages for BTC transfers.

>>2224285
>Might be too late. it takes ages for BTC transfers.
Hours? Days?

>>2224287
Sometimes days yes.

>>2224295
Kek, what the fuck

>>2224287
hours perhaps I'm thinking

What's causing the delay? They are already passed the scheduled time. What a shitshow!

>>2224319
My guess is that the date is wrong on the token page, since it's consistent everywhere else

>>2224319
wtf are you talking about?

>>2224176

We're paying for them to advertise the service actually. The tokens only have value on what advertisers think, they have already said they're against people holding tokens to wait for them to appreciate in value.

The entire model is based around getting advertisers on board. They're doing the ICO to advertise it to them - not to get the token itself to increase in value. Their product is complete. That's why they just added half a billion extra to the ICO two weeks ago as Aragon did so well in their ICO.

You're right - they don't care what investors do. They also have no need to create investor value as they want you to pump the tokens back to advertisers at a cheap price. They make their money from them using the service, just like google.

There are 2 types of BAT if I'm not mistaken. The ICO BAT and the browser internal BAT. They are different if I read the white paper correctly.

>>2223868
>Microsoft can never overthrow Netscape
>Mozilla can never overthrow IE
>Chrome can never overthrow Firefox
???

Even if brave doesn't take off, I bet once advertisers figure out this tech is good for them, they'll start shilling it instead of playing cat and mouse with adblock. The plugin will decouple the success of BAT from the brave browser itself.

>>2223868
Advertisers are losing too much on loss leaders and click farm scams. This is their bread and butter

It looks like the Kik or Kin token ( ICO not released yet ) developed by the people who made Kik messenger

Have more of a chance using that advertisement system, with a previously established userbase

BAT is a meme, nobody is going to use the browser, except bots maybe

Going balls deep into BAT. It's a guaranteed 2x return. 20x+ return if it is actually good.

>>2223332

All street shitters

Want to know why people are scared or disbelievers? Because it's never been fucking done before

Guys, I've never really invested on an ICO. How does this shit work? You literally just send ETH from your wallet to theirs?

>>2224663
Go to BATs website. They explain how in a PDF.

>>2224663
instructions on the website

>>2224030
they publish the contract today so you can prepare, but it opens in 2 days. Tokens will be sent immediately after you make the payment.

>>2224674
>>2224679

Thank you.
On the website I see instructions for both Mist and myetherwallet, is it possible to do the same with Jaxx?

>>2224709
u dumb

>>2224709
you can access your jaxx wallet from myetherwallet simply by copying and pasting your private key. So you can either send from myetherwallet or send from Jaxx and then access the tokens from myetherwallet when you need them

>>2224717

Thank you so much.

>>2224716

I might be, thanks either way.

The real address was supposed to be up an hour ago

>>2223970
Joke's on you, I live in the attic instead of the basement.

Fuck Bat, Beth is the way to go.

I like the BAT. I'm thinking shopper rewards is bowser rewards. fuck with me

>>2224848
I was gonna post the exact same thing vOv

>>2224142
The devs are also the main devs behind Brave, shouldn't be difficult to understand. Eich has also said that extensions will be made that will be compatible with Firefox and its forks.

>>2224813
real address still not up REEEEE

>>2224977
>>2224813
It doesn't matter because the sale would not have started. If you send early they'll just send you your ETH back. This is also stated in the info on the sale. Do none of you guys bother to read anything about what you're speculating on or something?

>>2224991
...I know how to set shit up so it sends automatically at a certain block/time. dont assume everyone here is fucking retarded like 99% of the newfags crowding this board.

>>2224991

It's because it shows a lack of professionalism. I don't know guys. I'm not a fan of this project. This seems like a Silicon Valley scam.

>>2223326

>>2225054
>It's because it shows a lack of professionalism.
This. If they can't be trusted to honor something as simple as providing an eth address on time, how can we trust them to provide an actual usable product?! Investors are already take a huge leap by deciding to throw money at them as it is.

lol scammy ICO...Price on exchanges will be lower.

>>2225132
Yeah I was planning on throwing a few eth at it, but they cant even post a fucking address at the preplanned time. Made themselves look pretty retarded

>>2225102
>>2225108
Chances are bots gonna take it all within like 2 minutes

I'm halving my investment at least because they haven't put the real address up on time

The pdf guides changed to say that the address isn't coming till the ico starts, fuck this

They also increases the initial investment offering from like 15mil to 20 something just one day out of the blue. Sounds sketchy can some anon give the exact recont of this please?

Almost 4 hours later, no address and no communication.

Sorry BAT, but it's a no from me.

I mean how much crack are the developers smoking ? The coins offered for sale aren't even backed by precious metals lmao

Agreed. I think people are doing it so much because they want in and don't want others to try.

They seem pretty stand up to me

This will be my first ICO.

I plan on investing a pathetic 2 ETH.

My question is: Should I sell the BAT immediately when they are on exchanges?

I noticed most tokens coming out of an ICO launch at a HIGH and dip pretty much right away.

Or should I just HODL for 6 months and check back then?

https://medium.com/mysterium-network/mysterium-token-sale-final-stretch-180c10af9b48

Not sure how I feel about this one.

>>2226318
Mine too man. Let the market dictate sell times. Best to probably hold until it catches traction but each situation is different. Godspeed anon.

>>2224159
Their share of tokens is locked for about 6 months, so we shouldn't worry about this now

>>2226769
what does this actually mean?

lol now they want 45 million...the yare evaluating eth as if it costs 155 dollars...so the ico evaluation is now 45 million. good luck suckers.

>>2226795
where does it say that?

>>2226789
that they can't sell their portion of tokens for 6 months or so

>>2226816
come to slakc and see. it wil soon be updates on website. 1 eth per 6500 bats with 1.5 billion bats.

>>2226828

Thanks.

So investors pay them in ETH and get tokens to keep instantly? Or do they have to wait 6 months

>>2226842
investors get them instantly, but the development teams' tokens are locked for some time

>>2226866

How soon do you expect them to be tradable?

>>2226341
what is CHF ? how much 14m CHF is in USD ?

>>2226892
for those who bought the ICO - instantly. It's all written on their website

i want them to delay this to june so bad. i can't get the btc without using an atm. fucking annoying.

Still no real contract address

I'm out

This is starting to stink

>>2226839
That's a good price for BAT. About $0.03 per. I may be off base, but I see it easier for BAT to get to $0.010 each than ETH to $400. I may be way off base.
