HELLO EVERYONE!

I CREATE THIS SPACE FOR FUTURE COMPLAINTS AGAINST AUTHORSHIP.

THE TOPIC OF ICO AUTHORSHIP HAS BEEN DISABLED: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2058499.3720
THEN I CREATED THIS OTHER TOPIC FOR DISCUSSIONS.

There's already a topic open about this.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2185901.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2185901.0)

Also, Authorship official topic got locked...that doesn't give them much credibility..

I really feel scammed by them. Just because I introduced some Friends of mine to the crypto world and registered from the same pc  (ip) they don 't release the tokens to us.
Where did it state it was illigal to register on the same pc?
We had different e-mail addresses. Used different ether wallets. Its just crazy we didn't get the tokens. Now I hope they fail big time.
Scumbags.

i didn't use same IP as anybody else and i still didn't get the giveaway..  >:(

In the first place I thought they are very promising but as the day goes by I have not received the tokens yet. I am hoping that they will answer our complaints in this thread
  ???

I haven't got any coins too! It's SCAM 100%, but it's not a suprise for me because  99% of ICOs is scams!

Another person scammed here. I referred around 25 people and only used my IP address for myself. It was all above board from my end. Shame the trust factor wasn't reciprocated from Authorship. I definitely got scammed here.

Their authoritarian tone in dealing with the scam bounty fiasco isn't helping to endear me to the team either.

I also didnt received any tokens from them provided I only use my phone/ip to create my account. I donr know what makes me not qualified for their token giveaway but anyways its okay Ill just continue joining other bounties and hope received payout from them. Being here in few months and joined various bounties in the past not being paid just dont affect me..lol

Indeed! In fact, after wasting my time with literally tens of alts, airdrops and bounties, I realised that I should just stay away from ICOs that provide huge bounties from their tokens. I posted about Authorship in that locked thread. I was one of those who didn't get any tokens. I wasn't upset at all, since I even forgot that I signed up for it. 75 ATH? I doubt it's even $1 when they claimed it was $10.

But isn't it sad that we're all "used to it". If such is the reputation of alts, will it eventually hurt the credibility of crypto in general?

Personally I'm not surprised it is not allowed to use same IP addresses, because it is not fair. In this way you are able to create 1000 accounts with different email and wallet, no problem at all - just need some time.
So it is SCAM! You don't have any proof for what you said above.
Your friends could join from their IP and you could receive your token.
Next time, think what you do.

EDIT: I registered my 1 account from my IP and I got tokens - easy.

I didn't got any tokens even if I used only 1 IP and 1 participation and referred some friends also.

Is there anybody who really got the free tokens, or is this bounty campaign complete BS?

Although many peoples not received AUTHORSHIP token but i don't know what is problem.Already i withdraw 170 tokens and finally received myetherwallet.AUTHORSHIP ICO is successfully finished.

Same here, I did not get any for referrals.

The folks can decide based on above discussions.

May be they did selective payment or any kind of bug occurred in their system.

I had a doubt about this ICO from the launch date itself and now they are proving themselves as scammers.
I've earned only 75 tokens and didn't referred anyone but this poor project didn't payed my money. Thank God I didn't referred anyone.

Man, I feel very sorry for you, but 99% of ICOs are not scams. You'd be hard pushed to back up that statistic with factual references. In fact, the majority of ICOs are not scams. I do feel bad for you, but you shouldn't slate everything generally just because this happened to you specifically.

I wish you the best in future investments.

One and a half hour ago I got the ATS token for the refs, so don't worry, you will get them!

Everything is fine.
Today I received my tokens.

Still not receiving my tokens. Looks like some of the forum members already received theirs so probably a good sign. I hope they will do as per the last email communication and that it's just taking time for all of us to received the tokens finally.

I received my tokens days ago. I think they received way more participants than they expected to be honest. It must be hard for them to figure out who was legit and all those playing the system to try and get extra tokens. I feel for anyone who has was not taking the piss and havent received their tokens.

I received an email from them stating

Hello,
It was brought to our attention that an increased number of users who did nothing wrong to justify a suspension have been market as so by our IP protection system.
We are extremely sorry for this and have decided to immediately correct this mistake.
Please bear with us for a couple days as we are in the process of changing the automated payment system that gave us all the failed errors.
Payments will begin to be processed starting tomorrow and are expected to be fully completed within a few more days.
Everyone that successfully completed our withdrawal form here http://authorship.com/withdraw/ will receive their tokens.
Thank you and once again, we are deeply sorry for the situation.
Sincerely,
Authorship.com Team

But I don't have an ATS token option is my MEW ..
Should the ATS token option be manually added??
Any who has received the ATS tokens to the myEtherWalletadddress??

Yeh i have mine showing in myEtherWallet, you need to add a custom token, if you look at their blog there is instructions

It is unfortunate but this will eventually damage the reputation of icos, if it has not already, it is not rare to see many people claim that all icos are scams and similar things, and when you see threads like these it becomes hard to argue with them, there are good projects out there but the amount of scams are outnumbering them.

At first they were very promising but they are now scammed. I didn't receive any token or giveaway. I have already seen about the scam of authorship. I told some of my friends about their giveaway. But it is clear that the coin of authorship is dead or they are scammers.

I just received my ATS tokens 2 days ago, while one of my referral received hes tokens today. I dont think i can call them a scam. Payments are still processed and they still have atleast 4 days left to finished it.

What sort of proof do you have. In order for us to get behind you on this for going to have to see some kind of proof. I don't have anything to do with the website so I don't have any reason to profit from this but I hate to see you take down a website that has done something or even website that has done nothing without providing actual proof.

yes, they scammed me too. I did not cheat, I did not use any other programs, but I did not receive any tokens. Now they offer a discount in their store, just scam

It's not a scam.
Eventually I've received my bounty coins.
And as you can on their etherscan transaction page. They are now transferring the coins in 'groups' in the amount of coins.
The ones who have earned 530 coins or more should already have received their bounty coins.

i didn't receive anything and it's been a looooooooooong time since ICO finished. I think the way they have behaved has seiosly damaged there tokens value and reputation anyway. So glad i didn't actually buy any tokens during the ICO.

Neither I nor my friend have got the token Authorship as promised by their Team. I think they need to correct their mistakes and pay what they promise. Although only a little, but the promise must be kept.

I got my tokens of the bounty and of my Investment, but they said the minimal  trading price will bei 0.15ct.
Now after release the price is under 1ct. Pure Scam

You should never rely completely on the information on the website of icos, it is very obvious they are going to try to present the best case scenario as the most likely outcome when in fact most of the time that is simply not the case, and it seems that this is what happened with this project, so next time try to get your information from other sources as well.

You shouldn't have use the same computer my friend. Are you guys kids? Wouldn't you apply thesame rule if you were the owner of the company for the safety of investors funds? You guys need to be a little considerate sometimes. Thought it was real scam when I saw ATS threads popping up everywhere..

The company sent out email explicitly explaining why they did what did and that made complete sense.
A good idea mustn't be killed because you want the token all to yourself

Same here. Thats the reason why ICO´s have got more bad reputation

This seems like a bad idea, even if what you said happen as you stated it seems completely normal for someone to be suspicious about that behavior, you cannot do that in casinos or exchanges so it makes sense that you should not be able to do that with bounties.

i did also not receive any token. i sent them an email. no respone.
same happend to my colleagues.
i told the to participate and now they think i recommend scam.
 :(

The Authorship $10 per referral looks very expensive in their side. How can they repay the people who join and make huge downlines? This project needs to be investigated.
