Or better, wait until it is on major exchanges in a couple of weeks.

He seems to be a newbie and slack channel is not the best spot to buy IOTAs for newbies as we have learnt over the last weeks  

He'll be fine as long as he uses escrow.

News are good of course, but one thing is disturbing me: I claimed my IOTAs more than 2 weeks ago (manual claim), and still received nothing, not even a simple confirmation of my claim being received... Are Devs that busy..?
Not that I am in a hurry, but it would have been good to have some information (maybe some ETA...?). Also a simple confirmation message would have been appreciated, otherwise this process looks too unfriendly to me (user-unfriendly, or just unfriendly - both are valid).

Did anyone receive a manual claim up to now? Did anyone read any estimation on when manual claims are going to be processed?

Manual claims aren't a high priority for the iota team. They are very busy and since you missed the large window where you could claim prior to launch (with ample amount of notification), you'll just have to trust and wait.

Ps. There are frequent updates on the slack.

tbh the window wasnt that large. iirc it was just 2 weeks.

That is true. Problem in addition was also a bit, that there was a claiming period before and the claiming was needed to be done again with the next version. This was causing the troubles with guys “But I have already claimed”.
Yes they have done it, but with the old version.

For me it’s also a question why it’s needed that the CEO does all manual claims and he doesn’t delegate this work.

If you haven’t followed IOTA on a daily basis you would have missed the second claiming period easily.
If you make a Bitcointalk-ICO-Selling thread, you receive an average Bitcointalk-Community as buyer.
This guys have been good enough for taking their Bitcoins in November-December last year.
And they don’t have the feeling they have received a 20x ROI, because they don’t have even the IOTA in their pockets. They have nothing at the moment, don’t forget this.

Last comment here from my side, good luck gentlemen.

It is not about "a rush" it is that when you still don't have your IOTA in your wallet you are not 100% confident that you really have your IOTA...

Furthermore David said 2 weeks ago that manual claims will be processed in few days, since that there is absolutely no news.

So just talking for me, I am not in the hurry but more communication about the delay would have been really appreciated, even if devs are busy, a 1 minute post on the thread would have been welcome, especially that some of manual claim have donation included, like mine, so I guess asking for a little post about the situation is not asking too much.

I cannot see any post about that in this thread...
