[seek4dream]

I tried to get into the ICO, but finally failed.
Hope the price won't be too high why it hits exchange.

Whatever the price is set to at exchange there is always a mass sell off and 99% drop in value i wouldn't worry.

I would not be surprised to see the "value" of this token drop by 80% once it hits exchanges. The way they did the ICO has infuriated so many people.

There will probably be a new coin that does the exact same thing, but does a smart contract and a "normal" ICO and the price goes thru the roof simply because they didnt do this stupid ICO method.

I rate the ico, you was obviously at the back of the que. over 50,000 people were queing for the ico> are you trying to tell me that wouldn't crash the server?

I thought the ICO was very well executed personally. It provided a nice contrast to how Status.im conducted their ICO the same day.

Civic:
- queued their contributions to prevent network congestion
- ensured everybody had a space in line.
- provided clear information on when it would open (9am), so just get in line before that time and you're pretty much guaranteed a spot. Also communicated to users while they were in the line with a notice box.

Status:
- no queuing, and disrupted the entire network for hours with what amounted to a DDoS attack on the network by its own users
- no guarantee for a space in line, just an address that you need to send money to asap
- communication breakdowns while the entire network slowed to a crawl and people were sending money to a smart contract with no response. They took down their Slack channel after the blowback.

Civic conducted their ICO responsibly and professionally and I hope other ICOs follow their example.

Crash the server?  Maybe I don't quite understand the technology here, but I really don't think it was a "server" problem but more of a network congestion problem.  I think they are two different things there, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Ethereum network decentralized?

Maybe for many it was great, but for me it was the worst ICO of all. Not only the app didn't work on my phone (was brand new 1.5 years ago, android) after using another phone, getting a spot in the queue, after I sent out an ether transaction exactly as the civic.tokensale page told me, it just gave an "bad jump" error, I tried it another time, just wasted more gas...

[zulover]

has anyone received any details from civic? any more details from them?

i sent payment, received email they received my payment but i dont  know how much i bought, was charged 0.9btc!! tried support a milion times but no response.

civic, comeone say something!!

According to the ICO website your funds will be "locked" for 3 weeks while they audit and send out the Civic tokens. It is on their website FAQ/Whitepaper.

I guess my main beef with the ICO is that I had $7,500 I was going to put into the project, and by the time I was number 1,000 in line they only had the $50 portions left. So yeah, not worth my time.

Had they done smart contract I could have sent my Eth and gotten the coins and all would have been well.

[gal_v]

Did you recive the tokens?
I didn't.

[GGALINff]

Marina-  when you will be returning the 33 1/3 % overpayment to the presale participants?  Just want to know when I should be on the lookout

[RonMank]

I guess waiting in line didn't help me. I just received an email hours after waiting in line that the ICO is all over lol

Brand new is not 18 months old, especially in the phone market.  If you have an android you could/should update the phone to the latest software when released, then your phone would have been able to download the app.  It's not Civic's fault you don't keep your devices up to date.

Just wait for tokens on exchange. I am telling to friends if they are able to get CVC for under $1 then it is a great deal. Hold long term!

please read carefully before smartypanting!
I said it _was_ brand new, just to state it is not like 5 years old. However I got it to work with a 3 year old android phone... Of course keep the android updated, thanks for this advice
What made my experience so bad was not the problem with the phone but rather that I was early enough in line, I got a spot, Civic told me which amount of ether to pay, what data to append, but still in the end the transaction failed. Furthermore nobody can tell me what the problem is. Civic support doesn't answer (I suspect they get a lot of tickets). So of all ICOs, which I tried to get in, this was the only one that didn't work for me.

I dont know what you are talking about. I was 8xxx and i was still able to get $500 slot.
The way line was moving i didnt think i even had a chance. but you have to admit, despite all the issues lot of ppl were able to buy in. May be not for amount we expected but atleast got in.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that...my friend was around #7000 and managed to get a $500 teir

You could easily buy them on an exchange when they are launching Its going to 10x easy, luckily I got in the $1000 package
