Hello - This is my first post, very excited!
With some luck after trying for hours I was 1 of over 20,000 accounts to contribute to the massive number of ~300,000 ETH during the ICO that resulted in a huge surge of 100,000 transactions slowing the Ethereum blockchain to.....a.......standstill.... and breeeeathe.
I am of course talking about Status.
In case you missed it, Status as described on their blog as:
The token has been issued to all successful contributors to the ICO and at time of writing it is trading at 0.00002220BTC
The price for me is not important today, I only have 5000SNT but to be part of my first ICO for such a potentially groundbreaking app has taken my excitement and desire to learn more even higher. The ground breaking opportunities that Status and other similar projects will open up are far more exciting than a small profit on Day 1 of trading.
For instance, I have already found a company designing an app to run within Status called "Swap" - Mentioned on Steemit by @z3r0d4yz 2 months ago. It is these kind of innovations that enable access, build enthusiasm in the crypto world and engage new users. As I have seen in my short time on Steemit, it is so important for long term commercial success of blockchain startups that Joe Bloggs can use and understand the benefits.
Really interested to know if you were also successful and what functions you want to see on the Status browser.
Have a great evening.

Hey there dude, i literally bought some SNT off Bittrex now as i missed the ICO stage. Fingers crossed this Token does sooo well as it is surrounded by a lot of hype. As was the Civic token too especially with Vinny Lingham involved.
I own a few BAT tokens aswel but it seems to be a little bit of a let down so far so i hope this STATUS doesn't disappoint :)
That's great! My mate missed the Civic ICO as well. Let me know if you hear of any new opportunities and be sure to read up on Swap!
Nice article. I missed the boat, therefore had to buy some when they hit Bittrex. Moved my $NXT position to $SNT. FINGERS XD
