Hi Steemit,

I saw the price of EOS was quite low few days ago and decided to buy some, but since we could buy directly from an exchange and from the EOS token distribution on their website, so i tried both. From the exchange is straightforward buy pay and receive.

For the Distribution i sent 0.1 ETH to the EOS distribution address, and was charged 0.00154 for gas. I received 28 EOS tokens, 0.05466ETH for gas when i claimed the token.

So total cost is (0.1562 * 320) /28 =  $1.78514  , so more expensive than buying from the exchange due to gas cost. 

#### Has anyone tried buying more using the distribution system? Probably more cost effective that way? Thank you
