A very long post full of interesting informations! I had i serious problem while trying to buy the eos token, actually i bought some but i couldn't claim due to the period claim system so i lost all of my funds.
Now by reading these new informations (for me) i knew i couldn't handle the eos system at all.
I am sorry to hear that. Did you register the ETH address that you suppose to hold your EOS tokens from eos.io website?
Yes but when i tried to claim the ESO they asked for the period which i had bought in, and while i was trying to guess what period it was the myetherwallet website were fucking me with expensive gas, so i get pissed off after 1one week of tries i dropped the whole shit losing 102$ lol
Actually I got the gas issue too during the first try to apply the ESO and I did give up for few days then picked it up later and finally successfully to register. The lesson I learned from it is never try to alter the gas limited of ETH unless you really know what is going on.
