Do you think it's worth waiting until it actually hits the market? As I've noticed, most tokens spike immediately after release on the market and then plummet. Thoughts appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi tomshwom.. can you please edit the section - 'Seeing Your BAT on MEW'.. as in add the point add - 'BAT' symbol

Interesting blog.  Good to see I'm not the only one that is thinking about this. The crypto market: High risk high gains!. That doesn't mean that a gain is guaranteed though. There's simply no guarantee in anything in life and especially not in a high risk market.  An interesting website I found:  https://www.coincheckup.com Every single coin can be analysed here based on: the team, the product, advisors, community, the business and the business model and much more.  Check: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Basic Attention Token#analysis To check  Basic Attention Token Analysis.

Interesting article.  I was about to start a similair discussion. What if you give somebody a lot of money, they are less likely to work hard, smart and fight for their secure future. Starting a business is simply not easy. Companies have fight and go through the darkest times to get there. Starting of with a big bunch of money that most of this icos don't have simply doesn't help. I really advice people to take a look at:  https://www.coincheckup.com They give great insights in the team, the product, advisors, community, the business and the business model and other techincal insights.  Check for example:  https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Basic Attention Token#analysis For the Basic Attention Token Research report.

hey guys if anybody sees this comment please please answer - I did all this correctly I believe, and then clicked send, and then I clicked "close" on the transaction because I figured I was finished... do I need to redo it all now? or is it still sending and I just can't see it? ;(

Argh, I had planned to do this using myetherwallet (As I didn't see this excellent article) but after trying for an hour different gas prices, etc, making sure everything is correct, I can't send from myetherwallet.  I downloaded parity and can't even send from myetherwallet to parity.. Lame!

Great post and upvoted. One question. How would I see my BAT coins after it's been purchased through Parity? Do I need to  add the contract?

How one can watch out for new ICO to come in future so to read about them and decide itgey re worth to share or not? Is there a website for that ?

its about ~40 seconds per block. do you really think 3,798,645 is a good place to start? thats about 4 minutes after its open, give or take a few seconds and people are speculating it will be open for 5 minutes maybe less.

Thanks for an excellent post @tomshwom! 
One quick question on a warning I'm getting on Parity: "*the transaction will throw an exception with the current values*". Did you get that error when scheduling your transaction? Does it matter? 
Address, data field and block number were entered for the transaction.
The same had been reported on the Reddit [BATproject](https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/6e3tcd/parity_error_the_transaction_will_throw_an/)
Thanks in advance!

Thank you. Really good information. Why are you using so high gas price? What is the minimum you recommend in order not to miss the ICO? 500,000 is not fine? How can I calculate this number? Thank you very much.

The Tierion ICO raised $25MM, but there’s still speculation that it’s no different than the scam ICOs going on right now. Check out some strategies to make sure that you can maximise profit from an ICO, https://wikicrypto.com/maximise-profit-sell-tokens/ Hopefully investors aren’t losing their money just yet!

So how much are you guys buying? I'll be sure to pick up a few :-)

Hi Omar, I would  like also your point of view on this new ICO when you'll have time to have a look: https://thesuperiorcoin.com

Super post. Does anyone know if the gas fee is included or extra? for example if I want to invest 1ETH in the ICO does it mean that the gas fee will be taken off or should I have extra in my ether wallet just in case? im doing it through parity as ill be on holidays at the time of ico

Which block number do we insert into parity? the bat website gives 2 block numbers :/

For those of you using Parity to automatically schedule the transaction, you should probably use block number 3,798,641 or even 1 or 2 more.  Using 3,798,640 could cause your transaction to fail since you need to be STRICTLY GREATER than this block number.
