Bitcoin Forum

I created this poll for that we will know how many users (excluding newbies) on bitcointalk received their ATS.
I would assume that most of us prefer real data than speculation.

Thank you for participating!

EDIT: Re-added the no voting no viewing the results option.
EDIT: Added "excluding newbies" as they can't vote and I think that's just how bitcointalk works. I have no control over that one.
EDIT: Even if you don't vote you can now view the poll.



You can check it by going to www.etherscan.io and www.ethplorer.io.

This is good information. I have said before that I believe that most people with low ATS holdings didn't received their ATS as it really seemed they did send from highest to lowest.

If you can give the link to their announcement of how many honest people who participated then that would be great. It's possible that the number of participants they stated might also include the cheaters who they didn't send the tokens to. I don't deny the fact that their are probably false positives.

The thing is they tried to fix their mistake by re-sending but still encountered problems resulting to multiple sending to some wallets, so I don't see it as intentionally not sending.

If they will send more tokens then too many tokens have been consumed from reserved ATS for authors. I hope they will compensate for that.

Poll is not votable, only the words yes/no without any checkboxes or whatever. Closed to newbies to weed out critical voices? xD

And: NO.

BTW it is not 'speculation' if you do the math how many participants their bounty program had and how many accounts have received how many tokens (as impartially reported by etherscan).
Majority, esp. of those who had less than 375 tokens: not paid.

Hello, All I did was hide the results from people who haven't voted. Now, I changed it because it might be the reason. This is my first time creating a poll on any forum I ever joined.

Do you know how the poll works? There is no option for me to change if newbies can't vote. Even if so, it's really better as to lessen abuse done by newbie accounts.

Please, VOTE again if ever you'll see a checkbox.

no idea - I can't vote, just see the results.

Anyways: the poll sample, excluding newbies, is way less scientific than comparing the undisputed numbers of etherscan with the estimates of bounty participants according to ATS's own numbers.

Excluding newbies has the same effect as the 'screw the little ones' strategy of ATS: people who registered to receive their 75  tokens are not long-standing members of bitcointalk. So mostly the cheerleaders will vote and create a fake image.

Which is ok - ATS has disqualified themselves beyond repair, no amount of sugarcoating will reverse that.


P.S.: you also forgot to specify investment tokens (which have been paid out, AFAIK) or bounty tokens (where many have been screwed). Further skewing the poll.

it won't let me vote but i never got my 275

Thank your hard works! But for me, i have no coin in wallet after finished bounty program!
I think, dev had rule not pair

Were you participating in the ats campaign and didn't receive your ats token? it seems like to be true in my opinion, because a lot of people already received their ats token at the moment and the ats token already actively traded in ether delta. This just like an accusing the authorship rather than asking about other's opinion.

Once again both myself and another person I recommend led did not recieve our tokens. Stop wasting time with this scam guys

It's logical to have newbies unable to vote as to avoid abuse in the forum. It's probably the reason.


I believe that they really gave higher priority to highest holders, and I'm not against that but I'm against the fact that they won't send the rest of the honest ones. But I don't think they did that on purpose as if memory serves, they sent around 8% to bounty hunters rather than the 1%. (I'm not sure about this but it's what I can remember from reading the thread, it's someone else who did the math.

Please tell me how it is calculated and provide links as it would be very helpful. I will add it on my main post for other people to see.

I am with you in that one but for a moment especially this year. Once the platform is launched then their would probably be improvements.

I forgot to specify it for bounty hunters. I am a bounty hunter and an investor and received both of them.

I participated as a bounty hunter and later on decided to invest too. I received both from investment and bounty.

Yes, even most of my referrals that contacted me received their ATS.

It's definitely not accusing as I'm just asking if they receive their ATS or not. :)

i recieved my ats but a little bit late due to the fact that authorship faced many issues regarding on thier refferal ip system thats why people are alarming and called ats a scam but they are not really a scam and infact they paid me and many other users here. maybe the ones who dont recieve the ats token are just cheating and registered more than once using the same ip and referal links.

I can't deny that there are honest ones that didn't received their ATS. Even some of my referrals.

And their frustrations are understandable.

How do you get that background theme?

I am with %33 :\ where are my tokens authorship!

I think his purpose of creating this vote system is to see tally of those who already received ATS and to those who haven't received their ATS yet. This is a good move so we can see the actual count of those who already received the ATS, I already voted as "YES" and as I can see many of us here already received the ATS and from the link he gave, Authorship assured us that this token will be made available to other exchanger as well :)

It could be, I will be adding your message on the main post as I can't explain it clearly and yours might better. :)

Yes, I'm excited for it to be listed next week on another exchanger. The price will rise by then but maybe not that much. At least we can see even a little improvement. :)

I think a lot of people have received their ATS. There are also some people who haven't received their ATS. It's possible that officials sent only a larger number of people. The fraction fraction was estimated not to have been received. 75 ATS, for example. It is possible that the official gave up holding 75 ATS users. I don't know what they think. For a few broken promises. The outlook for the project is not very promising.

True, that's what I'm thinking of too. But I prefer waiting for their official announcement if they really stopped (irrevocably) sending tokens.

I still believe it's promising because it's their first bounty campaign here if memory serves. I can't deny that what happened made a big impact on ATS.

Wow, this poll is so fair. I'm a newbie so I can't vote. :D


This.

Repost:

Well, I have no control over that option. LOL

I'll edit the post and add excluding newbie members to be a little precise. Haha

I joined their bounty and received my token Ive sell them all for 0.09eth on etherdelta already since I dont have the guts to hold them on long term Im not saying they are bad project I just use my instinct.

That's totally fine in my opinion as it's your personal choice. If you haven't voted yet then  please do. Thanks! :)

We would need a few thousands to people to vote though for this poll to be reliable. As for now, it seems quite a lot of people actually go the token, according to results. This is in conflict with public perception on the subject.

It's okay so far as it's only for bitcointalk members as just too get a little view on how many got and how many didn't.

I didn't receive my ATS.I don't know if my ETH wallet didn't support the token

I did receive my ATS tokens, but the thing that worries me the most and that is the most unfair, even though they seem like they "wanted" to make distribution as fair as possible, some people received twice the amount that they earned and some people still haven't received their earned tokens at all...

What wallet did you use?

You can check it by going to www.etherscan.io and www.ethplorer.io.

Actually i have 150 token that should i get. But i do not receive any token till now. I do not know what happen.
I know from any post on this forum most likely many of the member here do not get their token.

Can I vote, please? I received my ATS tokens. I believe in the project and it seems pretty cool.
To the MOON!))) :)

Where is the poll conducted? I receive my full ATS token on 22september! It was awesome and no any extra effort from me. I want to upvote! where will I vote please? I have voted! I encourage those who have received their token to do the same here!

I have received my token ats, I am not sure if this project will be a scam, they have also told us we can trade in etherdelta, while they promise to trade in bittrex and other excange, we'll see in the future whether they can do it.

You are among the majority that have not been paid.

Look for yourself:

They started sending sequentially from high to low from 19810 at page 118:

https://etherscan.io/token/generic-tokentxns2?contractAddress=0x2dAEE1AA61D60A252DC80564499A69802853583A&mode=&a=0xa68ba00236769703d30c17f63444cc7b3d509c72&p=118

They started sending randomly from 375 at page 28: (Things were intentionally messed up from here.)

https://etherscan.io/token/generic-tokentxns2?contractAddress=0x2dAEE1AA61D60A252DC80564499A69802853583A&mode=&a=0xa68ba00236769703d30c17f63444cc7b3d509c72&p=28

They started sending to lower than 200 at page 7:

https://etherscan.io/token/generic-tokentxns2?contractAddress=0x2dAEE1AA61D60A252DC80564499A69802853583A&mode=&a=0xa68ba00236769703d30c17f63444cc7b3d509c72&p=7

ONLY 7 PAGES!

The 75 level alone can take up 50% or more of the total number of participants. The 200 level of course takes a greater percentage than that.

But there were only 7 pages of the 118 pages for those people with lower than 200 tokens. Isn't it obvious that most of them were left out?

How many 75 token transactions are there in those 7 pages?

It's clear that they cheated most people with low amount of tokens (especially 75) who are the majority of their participants. Yet some people who already got their tokens (maybe multiple times) are making false claims like "most people received their tokens; only some unlucky people haven't got it." Be honest.

I think newbie's can't vote. I have no control over that. :)

You can check on top and see the voting options. Just select YES or NO from the choices. :)

I received my tokens (actually twice over) but everyone who I referred did not receive theirs except for the one person who referred others and had more than 75 tokens. I suspect that an overwhelming majority of people who did not refer anyone did not receive their tokens but I have no evidence to back this up. Fortunately as I received double I can just send them to those people I referred who did not receive their own.

Wow, that's good to hear as your referrals would be very happy. :)

That is actually a good information. Already added it on my main post and replied to it.

Anyway, just a little off topic. What does OP stand for? One Page (First Page), Overview Post or what is it? Thanks.

I got referal from my colleague for ats token then after I referred 2 people till now I did not receive any token mine earning arround 150 to 200 tokens so I am not worried about that .

Yeah I haven't received my 150. Well, they really made a mess there.

@Grim149 - OP stands for "Original poster" ... -> the topic creator.  

I have received all my ATS coins. I got 300 or 400 ATS, donno right now. I referred a few people and I got all my coins for that! :) I am waiting for a new exchange in the next time. Lets see what will happen with ATS  ;D

I have just checked my ether address and I don't see any received ATS tokens...sooo my vote is a big NO!  >:(

I'm still waiting to receive my 225 ATS tokens...

It's true, I hope they can compensate for the rest. I just don't think it will be with ATS as they sent more than 1% already.

Thanks for the answer. I'm always guessing what it stands for and it's a great help. :D

Their tokens has 10 times lower price than they promissed. So they spent our nerves and in the end didn't even compansate it by the token price :(.

I certainly prefer real data, and it's an interesting idea to make the poll. One unavoidable problem though is participation - I think the people who didn't get their coins are much more likely to vote than those who did. Many people who did will have got their reward, forgotten about Authorship, and moved on to other coins. But people who didn't are more likely to still be posting in Authorship threads.

So I do think the end results will be skewed and give a false picture.

That's true, one of my thoughts actually but still hoping that they will vote.

It's just that negative things are stronger than the positive most of the time.

I knew the price was always going to be FAR lower than their estimate. Anyone could see that this was an impossible price. Think about it, giving away $15 for a sign up plus referral bonus? Based on their price, the bounty hunters would be gathering thousands of dollars before the ICO even took place.

Anyway, I think they just shot themselves. The worry now is for their investors who are surely going to suffer for this mistake.

I guess their system was buggy or maybe their ideologies to rectify a small problem. Their system of finding similar users was very wrong and it was a blunder before they rectified it. But they do sent the tokens the end, their system for authors and readers may get success.

I agree with you. I'm on a loss as an investor too but the platform will be a success for me.

Yep, got mine, but I think I'll have to be very patient for the bonus+investment combined to break even with the 30 bucks I put in

True, regarding the investment and the price. I have added an update just now.

You can check the update here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2223877.msg22456661#msg22456661

Sure I'm a littke worried but after I sent them an email then I felt a relief with their response. I added it on my ATS UPDATE thread. The link is in my first post here too.

I didn't receive anything from them also. I don't trust them anymore at all.

I hope you didn't take them for serious with that, it was the price that they "recommended" and with it no one guarantees that it will be the price once it hits exchanges. Also free 15$ + same amount for every referral hmmmm, for me too good to be true :)

It was very possible for the price to go that way.

But with what happened made it to that valuation.

If anyone participated in the 1 time airdrop of eBTC, it's only been a week and our free airdrop is now worth around $150. Yep, it's on etherdelta and coinmarketcap.

The crypto world is very profitable and we just need to believe  in it. :D

Can't vote, received tokens

This is probably one of the worst ICOs I have ever seen. Everything from the planning to how it handles its customers. The guys running ATS really didn't think that there would be scammers using multiple IP addresses to get the free bounty? I still haven't gotten my tokens and not even a response even though I only signed up for the token redemption once using one IP address. No wonder the coin price dropped like 10x. There's no point in even trying to get the tokens because it's worthless and the whole project has such a stink to it now. I don't know how many "Authorship SCAM" threads/comments I've seen.

Lesson learned "Stick to the Plan", everything should have been done perfectly for Authorship except for their bad decision to add a Bounty Campaign which is not part of the original plan. It was the request of the community so the team complied. They decided to add the bounty campaign weeks before their ICO ends and everything was rushed, so they paid the price heavily.

Take note, these people who called ATS a SCAM are mostly parasitic bounty hunters not investors. The ATS team is doing their best to rectify this mistake and for the past two weeks paid most of the Bounty Hunters specially those who referred a lot of people and got thousands of ATS tokens.

What's funny is this, almost no complain from the investors who holds 80% of the tokens, but these parasites and cheaters who was originally allotted 1 % of the tokens, will always call it a SCAM regardless of what the ATS team do correct this mistake.

Can't vote, NOT received 75 tokens! Just like 3 friends of mine! (+3 vote for NO!)

Hey man! Take it easy... You should TAKE NOTE that mostly "parasitic" as you called them - is just legit people who have not got their 75, 150 ... and other small numbers of tokens!

In the other hand there are a lot of TWICE PAID peoples with xxxxxK ATS.... Is there anyone who RETURNED extra coins??? So who is real PARASITIC?

True, but i'm thankful for the free bounty I received.

I think most don't even know how to add it on MEW so they can view it. Some might used non-ERC20 compatible wallets. I have seen first hand people advertising their link and telling people to use coinbase ETH wallet.

I can't say most of them are parasitic but I can say that many might have tried to cheat the system.

They are trying their best and I'm doing my part to inform the others. Most people are just good at complaining. Being reactive won't get you anywhere; be PROACTIVE.

Anyways, I have a referral who used the same phone and internet with the total of 4 people using those. So she should be suspended but she still received her token. She said those other 3 are her mother, boyfriend, and relative/brother. So their's a good chance they increased the maximum numbers of IP to qualify for receiving the token.

Still i have not received the ATS token that i have earned on referral. I had seen my final amount in the balance was 185 ATS token. But, now i can't find the referral link because of i can't find the confirmation e-mail from you. But earlier as per your suggestion i filled up all the details for claiming the token but still i have not got any single token to my Ethereum address. If anyone here to suggest then tell me.

finally someone said it. this is the truth. I also received my ATS but it was delayed for 3 weeks I think. When they said that the distribution is already closed I didn't receive any from their initial close of distribution, I was really annoyed and mad. Time and effort was wasted, even my referrals didn't receive any. BUT the difference was, I didn't blatantly announced how scammer Authorship was. I thought since it's only free and there were really cheaters, I just accepted that I wont' receive any. Until they made second announcement and I got mine.

My suggestion right now is to wait for further announcements.

The better thing to do is to join other airdrops and bounties as time is money. Time is valuable to be wasted on negative things or to things that don't give value.

I see some people grabbin ATS on Etherdelta, maybe they know more then we know :D Would not be suprised if the price pumps a little bit in the next couple of weeks. Some people are interested in this project or they just wanna make fast money :D

They might really know more than us.

It's possible that it's because of the fact that ATS said it will be on another exchange by next week.

I think the their will always be more people who wants quick money than the actual project. I am for both, but I'm sided more with the quick money. I'm holding for long term for most of my holding though. :D

The lie was repeated again by another insolent investor.

Just because you missed out doesn't mean the entire project is a scam. They seem to have the entire concept worked out, put a lot of thought and attention to their whitepaper and had a successful ICO - up until the signup bonus which was added at the last moment. One mistake doesn't mean this project should fail, it just means it'll have a rocky start with prices being way belong the indication. But as long as they'll deliver their product, which I believe they will eventually, prices will rise again.

On the first distribution of the payment for the bounty hunters, I didn't receive my ATS but after I emailed their  support team, I received it on the next distribution. Many bounty hunters are complaining about not receiving their ATS. The ATS developers still has no feedbacks about it.

It makes me sick to see this post keep pop up. Why didn't ATS reverse the order to pay 75 tokens first? so as to make sure more people are getting paid? I hope they will cover every one. I have received mine 225 tokens but my friends didn't. I won't call them Scam but there are honest people who has been paid. This is a terribly managed campaign. ATS team should give an update of their intention to pay everyone even if this could be at a much later stage. Having these type of publicity is the last they need!

Have to agree with this post, Nolan Warfield has much to answer for here - initially I was trying to calm everyone down and reduce the bandwagon fever accusing the ATS team of scamming them and DOX'ing Nolan Warfield.

However having seen how poorly they have dealt with the whole bounty distribution, the poorly thought out initial solution dishing out book vouchers, next leading to alienating a bunch of legitimate people who helped market their campaign by applying some facist blanket rule to determine who is or isn't legitimate; then finally leading to the decision they'd hand out every bounty token to all participants then failing to actually do so and furthering the screw-up by doubling up and sending some participants their original amount...TWICE.

Until now, i've got friends who have not received their 75 tokens.

These are the people who are going to "disrupt" the book industry? I sincerely doubt it with the incompetence and poor management i've experienced so far. I'd have been more forgiving if they'd actually lived up to their word in the end and kept in constant communication...but they didn't. Even worse, this fiasco has probably severely affected the token price and will affect it once it gets on to the exchanges, no doubt this has screwed their actual investors who provided them with ETH/$$ etc

Nolan, instead of getting your team to put up a vague blog post, please make a definitive statement here as to what you will do.

I sent a PM even mailed to their support but still no response and my claim is just 80 ATS

375 ATS, not received a single one. Total scam  ;D

I didn't receive any single ATS token. Like wtf, I only have 80 ATS on the bounty campaign but even a single I didn't receive.

Hello

I did get my 19805 ATS Tokens.

My brother also get his 535 Tokens.

Some people Didn't get Tokens because they Enter wallet address of Exchange

Some people Didn't get Tokens because they don't enter ERC-20 compatible wallet address

Some people Did get tokens but they didn't check their wallet and didn't tried to add ATS manually

Some people Didn't get because they make fake accounts

Some honest people didn't get , I don't know the reason.

Thank you

I can't vote yet since i'm still a newbie, but I did receive my ATS bounty coins.

That's right. We don't know yet but hope we'll know with their next update. :)

No. Most honest people with low amount of tokens (especially 75) haven't been paid. And don't PM me to advertise your ref link.

So far so good with the poll.

Anyways I have an update from them. I hope this will clear things out for most of you.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2223877.msg22456661#msg22456661

Just found out this topic...

I didn't receive my 75 tokens! Or 80 because I liked on facebook also.

I didn't cheat (minimum amount of tokens), my address was correct, and I confirm my data!

Also, I have some friends that also registered to the bonus tokens and none of them received.

So there are 4400 people with 75/85 tokens (from page 154 to 242) were paid.

You realize that each person with more than 75/85 tokens may have several/dozens of/hundreds of referrals with 75/85 tokens? The 75 level must take 50% or more of the number of participants, but here we have only 4400 over 12000 people?

The truth is they allowed a bounty fund much bigger than the announced 1 mil tokens, thinking they would filter out a lot of people later. In the end they spent 8 mil tokens to pay people from high to low numbers of tokens (there were many multiple time payments, but it's NOT that everyone was paid 8 times) but that 8 mil was not even enough, so they gave up and just ignored most people with low amount of tokens.

The 4400 figure is simply not realistic. For about 8 mil tokens (or 4 mil, or even only 2 mil), the actual number of people with 75/85 tokens must be MUCH BIGGER than that.

So their answer is just an attempt to fool people from the fact that most people with low amount of tokens (especially 75) haven't been paid.

Anyway, a whole lot of legit people completed the withdrawal form but haven't been paid as promised in their email on Sep 18. (See the poll result, though this poll is unfair: 1. Its title is deceptive, all investors were paid so they would say 'yes'; 2. Newbies are not allowed to vote. Most people with low amount of tokens may not even have a bitcointalk account.) How can they run from that? Or do they intend to be LYING COWARDS FOREVER?

still have yet to receive anything. Don't care if I do now. Won't be using this platform, and will be telling anyone who ask to never use this service/coin/product.

I never received my ATS either. I'm still hoping it was a technical error and not an intentional scam.

Still no ATS on my address. No cheating, only one registration, but Authorship deceived me.

Sad to hear that some members still not received their coins.

Want to sell mine however the price is too dam low now.

No I didn't receive my ATS token despite I made just one subscription :(  :'(
So 42% also have voted "no" . A lot of people could already vote, but there are a lot of complaints, I hope dev could investigate it.

Received my tokens.  I've never doubted them.  I actually love their project and the effort they put into it.
They announced that they'll  be listing on HitBTC in few days time though  ::)

Apart from etherdelta has ATS been listed in any other exchange? I am really having hectic time working with etherdelta. Please any one with the information should release it.

Did you do something special to receive them?

On their last update on facebook - they say they will be listed on Monday.

I just signed up using someone's referral link. That's all

I followed the instructions here on forum :( but even I didn't get a ATS.  :-\
Which will be the incoming price in ether delta platform?

maybe you've cheated or registered more than once on your referal link with the same ip , thats why you dont recieve your ats token. theyeve warned all the users about that before their bounty has started , so its impossible that you cant read it or maybe  you just still comitted it. i guess the only thing you can do is to buy ats token on exchanges like etherdelta and you must hurry now because the price is still cheap or else youd regret it after they listed it on hitbtc

No need to spread the FOMO here, ATS bounty program was a professional scam if not then I would call it as selective payment.  I didn't refer anybody and I only had 75 ATS tokens but still they didn't pay my tokens as promised. No big exchanges will accept this to add on their site. It would probably end up in Etherdelta itself.

No I have registered just one account because I think is pretty useless spend a lot of time registering more than one users and then... get any token :(
I am scared to about the possibility of "selective" payment for this I am not sure to buy quickly an handful...

I kinda want to say it wasn't a scam, but more of incompetence on how to handle the Bounty program. They handed more than the 1mill allotted ATS and gave out like 8mil. You do NOT need 8x the original amount to fix a mistake. Along with the fact that they sent addresses 2x the amount of ATS. A simple excel formula to remove duplicates could've been done. Jeez he could have even just done a comparison. They probably stopped paying because it would've cost them a lot to send all the 75 ATS transactions. I'm partial on the scam, partial on the incompetence.

I hope they will do the honest and right thing and pay out the tokens to the people that are owed, otherwise people legitimately have a reason to call them a scam and report them to whoever the correct authorities are in the US.

I think 1 month is plenty of time to come to an open resolution and take proper responsibility of their screw-up, I would encourage authors thinking of getting involved to avoid them because Nolan Warfield & Peter have demonstrated themselves to be untrustworthy individuals.

I have 4 people that I referred personally, that didn't receive their tokens - they were only 75 tokens each (i think a couple might have liked their facebook).

I already forget about the non received tokens!

I think this project can be great, but I wont compromise my morals and wont support this. They only fool me once.

But... I'm not stupid and see a oportunity of at least double my money!

Right now ATS is at $0.03 trading at EtherDelta, it can easily double on entering HitBTC.
The team prediction was $10 for 75ATS, so... arround $0.13
I dont think it will hit $0.13 for now, but at least double the current value appon hitting HitBTC

500 Authorship (ATS) Coins Giveaway. Check more detail in article.

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@hunnykaushal/500-authorship-coins-giveaway

Your attempt to hide the truth that most honest people with low amount of tokens haven't been paid is cheap, and so is your way of advertising your ref link.

poor investors need to take all the blame from FREE LOADERS. anyway goodluck earning back your hard earned money  from investments

I think the sample size is way too small in the first place for any accurate conclusion (not limited to specially separate the air-drop and investors). I have not received it too but it won't make a difference posting over here because the kind of tone that they are using in their email messages sounds albeit towards the arrogant side.

Indeed. Arrogant liars.

I received my 75 tokens.

I have no dount that everyone will receive their tokens. It has been a nightmare out there for ATS. Crypto is great but certainly EXTREMELY impatient.

This poll does not mention if the ATS coins were due because of airdrop or because of bounties. Big difference.

Anyone knows when ATS will be listed in HitBTC?

It's suposed to be today, but what time?

It's already listed on hitbtc. You can check it yourself so you can confirm it. It's nice to have it asides from etherdelta.

Pretty much, very bad attitude IMO and no one's responding to the business regarding leftover tokens now, i think they are hoping it just gets "swept under the rug" now and everyone will forget about the issue regarding leftover tokens...I feel bad for the people who legitimately took part in this and received nothing, it may be true they are starting to present "scam-like" behaviour. I wonder what other parts of their roadmap are lies now, will have to wait and see.

Good you changed it from "No voting, no viewing Poll." That Could have easily encourage a bias character who may or may not have participate in the ICO to vote what pleases him/her.

 I participated(didn't really buy) but haven't checked my wallet yet.

They just ignore me and pay nothing. I enter in the last few days of bounty...

Everyone will be paid. ATS made a mistake with bounty. They will eventually fix it. I just hope other ICO's learn from these mistakes.

I hope so. I did not spend too much time on bounty anyway. i just think they keep quiet for a few weeks now without any announcement and no reply on email as well.

well, we will see.

They won't "fix it", they have already stated the final bounty payments were done like two weeks ago - the bounty has ended, they have already paid "everyone" they want to pay. Read the other threads.

Hence the reason there are a bunch of people complaining in this thread (and the other thread), because they have not been paid and have completed the bounty honestly.

The Authorship liars are still trying to fool people:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2223877.msg22763362#msg22763362

Yah I'm starting to think my referrals aren't going to get their tokens :(

Are there some news from Authorship?
Last what I'm now is that peter disappear from bitcointalk and that's all!

There's no news...we need to go into their main thread and spread the word in regards to the huge number of people that didn't receive their tokens.

pls post contract & decimal to check

From my experience and from reading this and other threads it seems clear that almost everyone who was due to receive a small amount such as 75 ATS was not paid, unfortunately that will be the majority of people and so there's a lot of distaste right now. I guess the heartening thing is that given ATS low price they only missed out on about a dollar.

Yes that's true, the terrible management of the ICO and the bad PR since then has resulted in a low value worthless token...these guys should not be allowed to make tokens, they simply weren't good enough. I feel bad for them in some ways, I don't think any human deserves to be DOX'd and hated on but they took a lot of money from people and failed to deliver so it is bound to cause some drama for them.

Yeah I'm annoyed by it. I got my 310, but family and friends didn't get their 75.


We received our paid ones.


What is annoying is those that did rip off the system would have gotten their payout most likely. At least I guess a lot of a/cs that didn't get the 75 might have been fake a/cs.

I want say that I received all my coins, about 4000. But I want to see this project in big exchanges.
I now can find this token on HitBTC exchange, this is good news. But we need more and more!

I just looked at their blog and can see that there are news! Last one:


Very happy! Now we have chance that coin will rise up in future!

How many beta-testers will be there? Will they plan to test system not only by writers? Any info about that, please

Hi can you give me a link please? I can't find :( this coin listed :(

It is also listed on ED:

https://etherdelta.com/#ATS-ETH

Any news please

Just that blog post I guess.

http://authorship.com/2017/10/24/signup-for-beta-testers-will-be-available-in-2-weeks/

It's funny, I believe this project actually could have been a winner, maybe it still will, but boy you actually need a management team with some idea on how to actually run a business. I think that's actually the main problem with the 'internet', everyone can run a company online, it's just that not everyone should run a company!!!!!

This project might have a little bit of success through their first week then it will prolly have a downhill turn from there.

I want to believe

I participated in the bounty Authorship and got 1200 ATS coins, a month ago they could be sold for 40$ on Hitbtc
I did not sell (((now they are 5$ ???
the investor has steel eggs

I've been holding my ATS since I received it, hoping that the value of it will rise.
I don't know how long it will take but theres nothing I can do for it.

Received 16000 tokens.  I've never doubted them.  I actually love their project and the effort they put into it.
No news, no pump  :(

For you to receive 16000 means that you get around 200 referrals!
I bet that not even half of your referrals get the 75 tokens!

This was the first killer of the project.
Now, this is still being develop. The ICO sold the concept, now there is the need to implement.

Unfortunately that takes time, and their marketing department spend all their chips before the ICO.
No news... Need to wait!

No news from ATS team about the project. This just puts investors on the edge. It's been a while we heard from them. What was the outcome of their beta testing?
Other similar projects are coming up which can steal the trust of people from this project if care is not taken.

Bumping this thread: Authorship has announced the release of the Beta Website on 8 January 2018. See http://authorship.com/2017/12/30/authorship-beta-launch-monday-8th-jan/

The price has gained ground as welll the last few weeks: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/authorship/

Nothing to be ashamed of, I would say  ::)

I made a small Steemit post for it should you wish to share it: https://steemit.com/authorship/@wekkel/authorship-ats-releasing-beta-website-soon

I got the tokens in full. it is a pity that they have now a very low price. Although the developers promised growth.

It's good now esp at Jan 8 on Beta

I hold some Authorships, and buy some on ICO too. Actually I was suprrised few days ago when it starts to grow. I was upsolutely sure that this project go to skam!

Apparently, the devs worked diligently on this project. Can't wait for the Beta site to go life...  8)

I hope they won't be moving the supposed schedule. It should be out on 8th so there will be no more FUD.

Exactly. They cannot afford mishaps or delays now.

Yes, I may support them but there's a good chance I'll stop supporting them if there will be another delay. Just the Beta Launch should be good in my honest opinion.

The Beta launch is imminent (8 January 2018) and ATS token has done well the last few days.

It should deliver because of the bad start. I've been supporting them for a long time and another delay will hurt too much right now.

I have the feeling that ATS is about to jump higher again:

https://i.imgur.com/nAUXd42.png

There's a good chance esp if they deliver their promise tomorrow. 

I am so hopeful for this project! I invested a small amount of Eth as well as referring a few peeps! Happy with the recent price rises :D

NEWS UPDATE!

So tomorrow is the supposed date of the Beta Launch. Get yourselves ready for it as they said everyone can test the platform that will be removing the FUD lying around.

https://xium1a.bn1301.livefilestore.com/y4mDr3glf-Kr_BcjL0BlBTuJsppLj1FccXhwaeuRJk838N6lmedLloiF9tDayecbOv4Z7-ruDtLnxZyBLLmRt-Vwtb__RdG8JGGjXRVbu5v-Ob0dIc2hs7rUi9PfgzVhq8atmBri76ZrBH9YHlUM4X_9n9JKG0HCO0nz7SVQWIuGPC_CsZa8fO75TrpsNCu2X_tLA06Ckn2DPcKwfy5hSXPQA?width=478&height=95&cropmode=none

As I remember ATS at the begining says that the price will be 0.75$ and where is it?

It was $0.15 and it's only a speculation. No one can tell for sure what the actual price would be at the very beginning.

I was thinking this coin was die already. I am still holding this coin. What price you are waiting in the middle of the year? In June them have big milestone

yeah) I thought also, but I did not sell my authorships and put in hold. Now  I see progress in price and it is good way)

And now the Beta of Authorship is LIVE. Most FUDs should be ceasing to exist. Here's the link if you want to try it.

http://beta.authorship.com/

Now the site needs some talented writers to upload content. The platform and thus the ATS tokens’s price will take some time to develop.

Authorship Beta is Open

While the Beta is still a work in progress, with changes and important updates coming monthly, the Beta version is fully working and allows:

Authors and Publishers to register and list their eBooks (.PDF files) for sale.
Authors and Publishers to sell translation license rights to their eBooks.
Translators to register and buy licensing rights for eBooks and list the translated eBook for sale through the Authorship platform.
Readers to register and purchase eBooks with ATS Tokens.
All payments on the platform are done exclusively in the form of ATS tokens.

Authors are welcome to begin submitting their books. In the following days we will start a marketing campaign dedicated to authors in order to build an initial books catalog. Once a minimum number of books have been listed a second marketing campaign targeting readers will begin.

During Beta, authors withdrawals will be processed on the 1st of each month for the previous month’s earnings. After the final launch in June this will change and payments will be processed instantly between members accounts with no delays.

We would like to emphasize that the Beta version is a work in progress and features/implementation/design changes will happen on a weekly base as we evolve the platform into the final version. When important features are being launched, we’ll publicly announce.

Users Feedback: during the entire Beta period we’d love to hear back from users and improve as per your feedback. Please reach us at contact@authorship.com to share your thoughts.

Why price down?

Good to see this project is still going on. I received all my coins and have been sat waiting whilst they have been silent. If they want to succeed they have to start marketing, especially seeing as they have a working platform now.

Бeтy зaпycтили в эфиp

http://beta.authorship.com/

Yep, there needs to be more action now that the Beta is up and running. I'll give it a year and let's see what will it's price be.

A full year?

You are very forgiving  ;D

I actually am, been supporting them ever since their ICO but I can only give them a year right now. Hahaha. Sold half of my holdings so I'm still in profit but still waiting for that $1.00 per ATS that may or may not happen. :D

Hate to say (token holder here), but the beta is extremely underwhelming.

1) Default currency is set in USD - no faith in the token?

2) Paying in ATS is not automated - you have to send in a support ticket and wait for approval. You'd think a platform like this would have an automated gateway for their own token.

3) Where's the source code for this project? There's no indication this project is blockchain anything, just a quickly built eCommerce site (most URLs end in '.php')

Call it FUD, but these are really basic things you'd expect from a platform with these promises. I'm just glad we're in an irrational market.

I agree so I left 20% of my ATS holdings and sold most to venture for other coins and tokens. At least, I already had a profit and will learn more from my upcoming actions.

Lets just wait for a while/ They announced that there will be weekly/monthly updates

There was a thread earlier about authorship after their token sale and i remember most people were giving negative feedbacks about their ICO.
I have also got a few hundred authorship tokens but really i have forgotten about those tokens when i read they are fail project.
Howevee i feel happy if the project is succeed and i'll wait for the price rise

I will keep my tokens ATS until summer 2018. on the road map it will be possible a maximum price

I will just Hold my tokens until June when the Official Project lunches and see what will happen. If the project makes a good review to the people then I will still hold my ATS token and wait for it to go higher and sold for a good price. Been supporting them since ICO and promoted them on various forums and social media and gets my free ATS so I am already in profit.

I am also holding my tokens ... Let's see what happens next.

Authorship is going to partner with Bancor for decentralized liquidity

We are happy to announce Authorship is going to partner with Bancor in order to create a joint Token Relay – a decentralized liquidity pool of ATS and BNT, enclosed in a Bancor-compliant Smart Token. This Token Relay will hold two connector balances, one in ATS and one in BNT, each at a 50% weight, and will enable users to quickly transform their Ether or BNT (or any other token on the Bancor Network) into/from ATS through a widget that will reside on our website and Bancor platform as well.

We believe this partnership will help users buy/sell ATS tokens with ease, without having to rely on an external cryptocurrency exchange (how to use the Bancor app web guide).

Additionally, any ATS or BNT holder will be able to provide liquidity for this Token Relay, collecting a share of conversion fees over time. Conversion fees of 0.1% will be charged.

We are currently waiting for Bancor to do the calculation for the amount of ATS and BNT we have to deposit into the relay to proceed forward with the implementation.

We are excited about this step and look forward to bringing everyone more news about it!

http://authorship.com/2018/01/28/authorship-is-going-to-partner-with-bancor-for-decentralized-liquidity/

Well some good news I think... Ok will seee what is next :)

I have some ATS that I'm holding. I suppose I can't ask for too much at such a low market cap as compared to those trading in the top 10s. Let's see what ATS does...

I am waiting my reward from bounty signup. I don't know why I havent received a dime :(

Please be smart and stay away from this SCAM token ihave a friend who was working legit on there SCAM réf ans hé didnt cet bis tokens ans they ignore himm

I just read the whole day about this SCAM or not SCAM and just also registered at theyr website Beta

Checked FB and Twitter with active devs.

The currency at the webiste is changeable from USD to ATS and there are some books u can buy with the tokens.

The maximum supply seems very good. The concept is described in the white paper. Its more than I have in other projects.

I am in .... Hope all the best for future of the project ... and hope for some updates asap from the dev's I think thats the main problem at bitcointalk and the meaning of the people here aboute the project.

Risky invest but with this supply and todays price its ok for me.

Still, I have not received the Authorship token that I had joined for the Airdrop. I think its a fake company. So, kindly be aware of all the investors.

I voted "No" in the questionnaire, because I didn't receive amount of tokens which I should receive from bounty
But, somebody advised me to contact Authorship team and they sent to me some amount of tokens, as they said just for my help on forum.

I also registered on Beta and uploaded my book:
https://beta.authorship.com/media.details.php?mediaID=120

But no sales at all. I know that not so many people are interested in poetry, but if you are (by chance) and if $2,99 in ATS tokens is not a problem for you - I would be thankful if you can buy my book))

That was months ago now and they really did screw that up but given that they've gone on to develop the platform and now have books listed I don't think it's a scam.

At the same time I think it is going to be a little bit of a flop.

I dont remember exactly but i have earned like 800-1000 ATS from their referral offer.. finally and after a lot of time, i got only like 1/4 of my tokens, they scammed a lot of my mates inculding me.. their project is a waste of time. I would never support them, they doesnt believe in transparency.

Authorship Beta 2.0 is available + Exchange Info + Token Burn
http://authorship.com/2018/04/10/authorship-beta-2-0-is-available-exchange-info-token-burn/

We are happy to announce Authorship Beta 2.0 is available.

A preview of the v2.0 can be seen at https://platform.authorship.com

During the next days, all authors and books registered on our Beta platform will be migrated to the new 2.0 version. Following the migration, we will switch the platform to run on our main Authorship.com domain since we are approaching our official launch date (June 1st) and our marketing campaigns need to step up.

The new 2.0 version brings a completely new, fully responsive design, a new interface and new features (some yet to be activated gradually).

We also want to update everyone regarding our ATS token exchange listing process and upcoming changes, including a series of token burns.

An important step for the Authorship Token has been the Bancor partnership, which provides a joint token relay – a decentralized liquidity pool of ATS and BNT, enclosed in a Bancor-compliant Smart Token. Through this, any user can buy/sell ATS token immediately with/from ETH or any other token part of the Bancor network, securely and with no need of a third party exchanges, fees or waiting times. It also provides traders with a stable platform to buy/sell tokens with no fear of trading bots, P&D groups or loss of funds.

The Bancor exchange widget has been prominently added on our platform main page and will be strongly promoted.

Besides the immediate benefit Bancor brings (liquidity), it also provides a stable environment for the ATS token to prosper. The ATS token is the backbone of the Authorship platform. A healthy, stable token is something not only investors look after but also authors, without whom the platform cannot grow. In order to bring the ATS token to a healthy, growing and stable state, Authorship decided to do a series of token burns starting from mid April, until June 1st, our official launch date. To prove our serious intentions, we’ve recently done a small scale test which we shared to the community.

The test however, proved to us something the community reported to us for months: a token’s performance is only as good as the exchanges it’s running on. The first important exchange to get listed on was HitBTC. Despite a pricey cost, Authorship kept to it’s promises and got listed on what was one of the most wanted exchange at that time. We signed a 6 months contract with HitBTC with the option to extend it to 12 months when the expiry time was due. During the 6 months when ATS was listed, we kept receiving complains about the trading, depositing and withdrawal of tokens/funds. Currently, it is assumed there are several millions of ATS tokens stuck on the exchange accounts from users whom deposits/withdrawals never been credited. Despite our attempts on reaching them ourselves as well, we didn’t hear more than the usual “we’ll check on it” (that is when we managed to get a reply back).

The latest increase in withdrawal fees has also made it impossible for small buyers to withdraw their tokens out of the exchange account.  On 17th April, our 6 months contract was due to renewal. To out surprise, we’ve been told that we can no longer upgrade the contract for another 12 months, as it was initially agreed, that they only want to offer us an “unlimited” listing plan for a whooping ~ $200,000 fee.

Considering the assumed millions of missing ATS tokens, the increased deposit/withdrawal fees, the suspect and mainly unusual trading habits, the pump & dump groups, their usual lack of responsiveness and their newly breach of agreement and $200,000 claim, Authorship decided not to agree with a contract renewal. When and if they wish to delist ATS after 17th April, is at their discretion. We inquired about but they refused to offer us an answer as this time and we’ve been left with a “we’ll let you know”. A series of token burns done through Bancor will be our first move after the assumed delist to stabilize the token to it’s real value.

Authorship can grow as a platform, as a community and as a stable and valuable project, but only if we take good care about the exchanges we’ll get listed on in the future. For this, we have decided to hire the services of a third party company to get listed only on major exchanges, with a good community feedback and reach a listing agreement.

The Bancor partnership was a first step in the right direction and we’ll continue this by making sure that both the upcoming platform but also upcoming exchanges will follow the same direction.

Update: Authorship Token Burn

We would like to update everyone of our latest decision regarding the scheduled ATS token burn.

Yesterday, during our first scheduled token burn, we’ve seen a massive coordinated token dump followed by big buy orders happening at the same time through the exchanges we are listed (Bancor, HitBTC, EtherDelta). Market manipulators, through trading bots, took advantage of the sudden price movements and bought for very low just to immediately sell back to the highest bidders from market.

In order to prevent something like this and ensure a stable and fair market, we have decided:

-to burn only a total of 5M ATS tokens

-to burn tokens in very small amounts which will not create big sudden market movements, thus not create an opportunity for market manipulators.

-not to announce the dates/hours when burns will happen

-the 5M ATS will be burned throughout the month of May

http://authorship.com/2018/05/02/update-authorship-token-burn/

Before burn undistributed coins, why not check 43% of user's poll that reply NO I haven't received my coins?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2106727.msg23801556#msg23801556
I write more and more about it... never got a reply! :)

ATS tokens have almost no transaction volume on hitbtc and I can't even sell my ATS tokens. Their team needs to contact more exchanges.

Still have hopes of getting tokens?!?! Forget it!!
I already lost all hope.

That is why Authorship is in this crappy situation.
This project had everything to be huge, but they decided to go against the community to keep some tokens for themselves.
No pity at all. This will be dead as fast as it was born!

I uploaded my book to the Beta.athorship, now I can see it's not present on new version
Will there be automated transfer of all content or no?
Also when the final version of platform is supposed to be?

Authorship Platform is Now Officially Launched

https://authorship.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/June-1st-600x600.jpg

We are happy to announce the Authorship platform is now officially launched, as per our project roadmap.

June 1st is the first day when authors can begin to register their books through our platform and receive 90% royalties for their ebook sales. We welcome all authors to register and submit their books for review (it only takes 5 easy steps).

Currently, the platform allows authors to sell digital versions of their books, in a PDF format to readers all over the world. Translation licensing rights and print options will be implemented as well in the coming future once the registered books catalog and readers numbers has grown to a considerable size, getting authors one step closer to receiving full authorities for their works.

Authorship aims to simplify the book publishing process by giving all the authorities to the author. When an author publishes a book at the platform, he/she enjoys all the rights and does not have to comply with the complex policies of publishers, worry about the distribution or share the major chunk of royalties with the publishing company.

All the transactions on the platform are done through the use of ATS tokens. The ATS, an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum technology, is a unit of exchange on a new Blockchain based book publishing system. Authors are rewarded with ATS tokens in exchange to book sales, while readers are able to spend ATS tokens in order to purchase books.

We look forward to be a revolutionary platform that facilitates and promotes the literary community across the globe!
https://authorship.com/authorship-platform-is-now-officially-launched/

so this scam still exist and people still interesed in this scam project look at there token price lol its worth 0.01 USD  Price in ICO 0.04 USD

A decentralized internet for authors and readers is what the project aims to provide which I personally think is a great concept as the userbase would be definitely large considering the publishers and authors, reader and translators worldwide. But I think the project does not seem to do much with the ICO, maybe because of the general market maybe by the team.

their last post on blog is from july 2018.
and for what I see top selling product have no one recension (it means no one have a real interest in those books).
After problem with ICO and bounty programs I don't see anything promising in this project :(

Tell me, what to invest now?
