$35M raised in 24 seconds. Simply epic.
I was looking forward to doing a quick write-up today on how quickly BAT Initial Coin Offering successfully concluded and how happy I am to be able to contribute.
It turned out to be my first ICO heartbreak.
BAT, a blockchain-based digital advertising
that envisions improving the efficiency of digital advertising through BAT tokens that can be exchanged among advertisers, users and publishers.
Crowdsale opened around 7:30am PDT on Wednesday, May 31, 2017 on block 3,798,640.
I wasn't quick enough and the rest of the world was able to send in a total of
156,250 Ether in 24 seconds.
That is only a minute amount of
$1.46M raised per second.
A heartbreaking message. Error in BAT contract creation. I cry just a little.
Although I'm a fan of BAT, I think it would have been better to have a progress gauge available, so as to alert hopeful investors to stop their futile attempts. Yeah, a little bitter on wasted transaction costs haha.
