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

BAT ico starting in two days. 11am EST.
The real question is since china is adding ETH the same day...
>Whether to just hold ETH, or go balls deep in BAT for a quick 20-50% flip?

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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

gatecoin

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

Relatively low volume exchanges though

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?

probably an hour then

basicattentiontoken.org/token/

guess i'll buy a little, which exchange?

>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? $$$

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

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.

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?

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?

15 min, where are you getting this from?

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

link please?

>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.

I just re read everything, they reveal address 2 days advance but wont begin the sale until the 31st at 8am PST

Very confusing, at least to me anyway

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

how long are you planning to hold for?

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?

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.

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

>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.

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

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

Sometimes days yes.

Kek, what the fuck

hours perhaps I'm thinking

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

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

wtf are you talking about?

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.

>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.

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

wat

>mfw when no one in here knows what they are talking about and this is the most obvious buy in the history of cryptocurrency.

Ssshhh im scared It will be sold out and I cant buy

>literally everyone in this thread.

Me too homey

Have to do this from work too, fugg

shhhhh no BAT is bad, advertising will never be disrupted dont buy it....pls!

TOTAL SCAM. STAY AWAY!

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

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?

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

instructions on the website

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.

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

u dumb

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

Thank you so much.

I might be, thanks either way.

The real address was supposed to be up an hour ago

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

I was gonna post the exact same thing vOv

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.

real address still not up REEEEE

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?

...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.

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.

I use it to watch porn on my phone. Loads really fast.

How do you know how much gas to use ahead of time?

200k is recommended amount from what I'm reading.
