Around 12:50 UTC our web servers came under attack. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Many scammers have been attempting to take advantage of this situation by posting fake Ethereum addresses.
The official EOS Distribution Contract address can be monitored here:
https://etherscan.io/address/0xd0a6e6c54dbc68db5db3a091b171a77407ff7ccf
A lot of fake address in the telegram chat
Don't get scammed, the ICO goes for several days - there is no advantage of beeing in today or later this week!
As we can see now. The price is getting higher and higher. In Period #0 one EOS was 0,85 USD. In Period #1 we are already over 0,91 USD and 4 hours are left.
I also reported the website being down earlier. I just checked it, the site is back up online.

I agree with roomservice, you can invest in other days but other investors outside of crypto world doesn't know it. They want to get in early.
Follow me @Yehey
Thank you.
I just wrote a post about this. Let me know what you think. https://steemit.com/eos/@lenn/consider-waiting-to-invest-in-eos-ico
roger that. sounds advice.
FOMO definitely not necessary with EOS, pleeenty of time to invest.
(BTW: if ETH will still go down one can get EOS even cheaper ;-)
If you're moving in with fiat...
also: ETH is not pegged to BTC, so one can easily imagine that:

Or USDT 😉
Check out my report. I joined the EOS ICO in Period #0. Blog Post with updates on the EOS ICO:

The eos.io website is currently giving me a warning about an improper SSL certificate. Should I be worried?
https://steemit.com/eos/@antonchanning/eos-io-using-wrong-ssl-certificate
luckily i follow you, when I was unable to access the website i saw scammer posting fake address on reddit and forum
Yeah, they were also posting in slack as well.
Lol, scammers always trying to scam...
During the SONM ico, a scammer made off will 1k ETH using this method, so I would assume others will be trying there luck today
Lol, Larimers being Larimers.
interesting....
Could you please check following wallet account? It appears that this wallet is your wallet which takes control of distribution contact. It appears that my EOS token is automatically returned to your wallet.
You can check the token transaction by searching "0x86Fa049857E0209aa7D9e616F7eb3b3B78ECfdb0"
(https://etherscan.io/address/0x86fa049857e0209aa7d9e616f7eb3b3b78ecfdb0#tokentxns)
Please check the transaction and return my EOS coin...
Hope this gets resolved or can the crowdsale be extended ?
The sale is pretty much stretched as it is :D
ok thanks
I sent 1 ETH to that address with metamask. The transaction was confirmed but on metamask it says "rejected" and I'm still missing 1 ETH.
Hope all will be well. Please inform us when you solve the problem.
When ICO ends, can you write what exactly happened and how do you plan to answer on these attacks in future.
How to participate in the EOS Token distribution:
This will surely, once again, affect the Ethereum price...another ICO meltdown
Just remember not to buy if you are an US resident.
Thanks for update! Can we just send ETH to the address above or do we need to register on eos.io website prior sending, please?
Still offline?
That is kind of expected as similar attacks were observed in other big ICOs. I was just wondering how soon - man that's pretty fast!
Managed to make a small payment & could see my token numbers (reducing) for some time; looks like site is down again though :(
Why don't you upload the HTML to github or another DDoS protected host?
imagine what will happen when the website is working again.. they have already collected so much...
I wrote about it earlier.
this all feals fishy I'm going to wait
We are here and wait for your good news soon! Thanks for your update!
Thank you for this, how long do you think that it will take to get your site back up?
I think its best to wait until EOS hits the markets (from 1st July). and then buy if the market value dips.
Consider waiting to invest in EOS: https://steemit.com/eos/@lenn/consider-waiting-to-invest-in-eos-ico
whoa. been seeing those posts about that going on. will let ppl know by RS.
I didn't realize I would need some eth the generate an eos key so I'm just waiting for the eth network to process sending some more from my other wallet to my metamask wallet. They earned 46.4K eth so far at the time of this post.
Thanks for information sort of lost when it comes to banking.
Hope it gets sorted! Your platform sounds promising!
Perhaps it's some pissed off investor from the US that's angry you guys won't take his money. Personally, I feel the same way.
I followed the guide in the site and finallyy managed to get the list of ico's in myetherwallet.
How can i buy these ico's (or some of them) ?
Thanks !
WHILE IM STILL NOT HAVING MY EOS.. NEED TO BUY SOME
A "necessary evil" in my opinion. The best way to prove the network/model is secure and does work well if such attacks/crisis happens.
Can you please help! i perticipated in the ico and my period is done, i did exactly as the instructions on t he website but my token show 0 transfered in any idea why?? my txhas is this d65dfca46b719c5157c4c0640ccaa23dd3143c7c3ed44a4165ee931b666b45e4
Congratulations. I jumped in only with 2 ETH. But now I regret that I din't put 10 ETH in. It's running really good.
I think it's way more.. Got it for 0,81 USD, now it's at 1,24 USD
U can check out my EOS Post here on Steemit if you want:
https://steemit.com/eos/@hw-enthusiast/eos-my-first-ico-great-to-see-how-a-new-crypto-is-born
I bought it in period #0 of the ICO. 1,29 USD now on bitfinex
