I'm the lucky guy, who made 1-st sells LSK coin on Poloniex. And it was really good experience for me.

[![My sells](http://i.imgur.com/yoglCH2.png)](http://i.imgur.com/yoglCH2.png)

I sold 332 LSK for 6.66 BTC. This is about 1 LSK @ $13.2 coin. 
ICO coins was about 1 LSK @ $0.1. 
Now 1 LSK @ $0.3.  
As you can see, the profit is huge.

In that post I want to tell you the story of my success. I believe you can get something useful for yourself.

<h2>Preparation</h2>
I was ICO investor with 2 BTC and received 11000 LSK for trading.

Before official launch of LISK coin I learned to start manual Lisk Node in Ubuntu environment by [this tutorial](https://lisk.io/documentation?i=lisk-docs/BinaryInstall). There is no official Windows client yet. And this is the most 
important thing that I did. 

The coin launch [was announced](https://blog.lisk.io/lisk-genesis-block-distribution-and-mainnet-launch-countdown-6b17d1b2acd8) on **May 24, 2016 at 8pm UTC.** 23:00 at my timezone (Russia). And Poloniex [announced adding Lisk market](https://twitter.com/Poloniex/status/735142679378546688) asap.

<h2>My body was ready</h2>
… for ninja start. It was nightly here. I drunk RedBull and began my mission.

At 23:01 files appeared on [https://downloads.lisk.io/](https://downloads.lisk.io/) and for my luck [lisk web client](https://login.lisk.io/) was DDOSed (btw, it's not my fault ;)) ). In 5 minutes I started Lisk node on Ubuntu, entered my ICO wallet and begin waiting for Poloniex.

At 23:15 Poloniex opened [BTC/LSK market]( https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_lsk) and I generated deposit address and sent 1300 LSK as quick as I can.

After that I was waiting 303 confirmations. Confirmations on Polo increasing periodically, 30-50 confirmations per time. I saw insane Buy orders while waiting. Top order was 0.00011573 LSK @ 447 BTC.

When confirmation number was 290+ I began pushing “Sell” button and receiving:
![Not enough LSK.](http://i.imgur.com/7z0OLsn.png)

My adrenaline rolls over. This went on for about 15 minutes. I saw thousands “not enough” messages. Suddenly….

At one moment message was sold … sold … sold … sold … sold …. It was amazing feeling for me. Something like this:

<h2>P.S.</h2>
I bought more cheaper LSK and now I’m holding as a hell!

So, my secret power was:
-	Learning before official ICO start
-	Lucky DDoS of login.lisk.io
-	RedBull
-	F5 button and quick mouse moves

I hope this history was interesting and useful. 

I can post more lifehacks for crypto trading and trading API usage. 

For example, I made simple PumpMonitor using Poloniex API.
