[ANN][ICO] Authorship - Making the Internet More Free and Accessible For Authors

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Tomorrow will be a remarkable day and date. We are awaiting the withdrawal confirmation form. When I see it in my mail, I'll jump for joy.
Mr Peter, But in one of your comment, you said those that did not get the form should check the website. My observation is that what of thosevyou purposedky would not send the confirmation to due to ban, won't they try to confirm from the site?

They will not be able to submit from the website as the form will only accept accept submissions from the white-listed email addresses only.

well, on this note, I will like to ask a question

All through the 13 or 14 people I referred to this project

I only received email for 2

Hope this is not a sign for being banned thou?

Did you receive the ATS for them? (do they show on the stats link?). Sometimes emails get blocked.

thanks for the prompt response hommy

Yeah, I received ATS token for all of them

Just that no email telling me I "referred someone" as usual

What way would you recommend to put 0,0004 eth to myetherwallet account? Sadly, I have zero now, and I need them in order to make some transactions when we get our ATS.
Sorry if I am being strident, this is the last thing that I would like to know

try to find faucets that will allow you to generate eth and try to continue claiming eth from there for sure you will be able to generate that amount you just
need to have more patience and time to accumulate that much, that's the only free way that I knew unless you have some friends who do have extra eth
inside their wallets.

You didn't understand me. I don't mind paying a few cents to get 10$ I just want to know how to first buy, and then put ETH into my wallet

Hello Peter,

I've already invested to your platform and have a strong idea to invest some more as it seems to be very useful project. I myself fond of reading and having one space for all the worldwide events in book industry is really awesome)

If you wouldn't mind I have some questions to be solid clear with. Well some points may already been asked here so I apologize if it was so.  
I talked to Dave recently and he said that it's everything settled with the bittrex exchange and token trading launch would be in no time there. And what about Poloniex? Do you plan to start on both platforms at one time?

Have one confusing contradiction. Well, as an investor, I want to be clear with ATS tokens primal trading price. On your website I found this statement: "...1 ATS will have a recommended starting trading price, through exchanges of $0.15 (15 cents), no matter what amount we raise..." But while reading Terms and Conditions of your ICO I noted absolutely different statement to one I mentioned above: "...ATS Price
1 ETH will purchase a minimum of 2000 ATS. The exact price will be determined when the sale ends using the formula:
1 ATS = Total Amount Raised / 100.000.000 tokens..."  I wonder what is true and which investor can take as a reference?

Q about the roadmap. I wanted to see it on the website, but it seems to be down now. Just want to know When Exactly The Athorship Platform Starts To Work as a ... just like retail version?

Last one - you said that upon the end of ICO campaign 100 mln ATS tokens would be divided to the whole contributed sum in eth equivalent. But on the website it is stated that 80% of the 100 mln ATS would be delivered to investors. So, according to this I understand that not 100 mln must be divided but 80 mln? Or am I wrong? And how fiat funds would be converted to eth and at what rate?

Thank you for your time and for making all these clear for me.

I wish your platform stable growth in the future.

Is the site down again? I still can't access authorship.com 

[peterauthorship]

Is the site down again? I still can't access authorship.com 

DDoS protection is running, but unfortunately, it's blocking a lot of legitimate hits, so it's not much we can do until the DDoS stops. About half of legitimate hits seem to be also blocked, me included.

Depending on the duration of the attack we may extend the duration of the ICO with another 24-48 hours, depending on the time we are offline as lots of investors seems to have wanted to invest in the last day and now they can't. We received lots of messages on Facebook about this as our emails are not working at this moment.

It's quite unfortunate that this is happening, and I apologize for the situation. Unfortunately it's not something we can do at this point but wait.

Will keep everyone updated.

Thank you,
Peter

Hi and thank you for your message.

On our T&C that refers to the price you are paying for 1 ATS, not the value of 1 ATS. This is why it's saying that the minimum number of ATS you can receive for 1 ETH is 2000. Tho that should have been updated to ~4500 as we changed the maximum amount we would raise to $7M, so the minimum amount increased as well.

How many ATS you receive when the ICO is over can be calculated by dividing the 100M tokens to the amount we raise.

If we raise $7M (~21,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 5,000 ATS (100M / 21000 =~5000 ATS)
If we raise $5M (~15,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 6,600 ATS (100M / 15000 = 6600 ATS)
If we raise $3M (~9,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 11,000 ATS
If we raise $2M (~6,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 16,600 ATS

Regarding the project roadmap, it is expected to be officially launched on June 1st 2018.

Regards,
Peter

There is no problem then, as long as the ATS shows on the stats page, that's all that matters.

Thanks Peter, hope everything will be back normal.

Btw, is there a Slack channel for authorship? can you pm me the link pls. TIA

Unfortunately there isn't. We found that quite time consuming and hard to moderate so we didn't create one.

Hmm. I'm short of words. Well, man proposes but God disposes. I will at once inform my downlines the new development. We just hope there won't be further postponement. Patience is the key.

[peterauthorship]

website is up now  

10/10  would invest again. This team is outstanding. I'm speechless!

Thank you!

We are partially up and running as the DDoS is still underway and some legitimate visitors might still be locked out for a while.

You and your team deserve every bit of praise!

There's something bothering me. I changed my wallet to imToken as it's very easy to use and have a clean interface.

I tested to send 0.0004 ETH to one of my referrals (he is using imToken too) and I set the speed to lowest. Setting the speed to lowest made the fee decrease up to around 0.000026 ETH. Will sending the ATS to the exchange with slowest speed the same (0.000026 ETH) as sending it to another imToken wallet? Or the fee really is 0.0004 ETH?

I want to know because I want to help my referrals (and maybe even others if possible) pay their fees.

Yes, the fee can be even lower than that, that is usually the default fee. Sometimes payments get stuck in processing for a while if the fee is lower, this is why I tend to recommend the default one.

[peterauthorship]

I will get ats at 0h on September 14th or 24h

Please check the website, there's a countdown: http://authorship.com/contribute/

Thank you

[peterauthorship]

Hi everyone,
The DDoS seems to have stopped for now, we are back up and running. We've been on and off for about 3 hours, so hopefully this will be all the impact we'd see.

Is everyone able to access the website?

If there will be no more events, the ICO will end as scheduled.

Thank you,
Peter

Thanks peter updated as always. 

[Destroyer1333]

So how much do I need to change ATS into ETH?
Let me get this clear. I will receive Ats on my ether wallet. Then I have to pay 0.0008 eth which is about (lets say) 22 cents in order to change it to bitcoin. Then I have to put it into bitbay and do i need 22 cents again? And how to put those 22 cents on my ether wallet?  As for now, I have no money on myetherwallet.
Thanks in advance

Well, I got no money on myetherwallet, neither. I can think about it is to receive the ATS on myetherwallet and then when I need to make an exchange from ATS to BTC or ETH then deposite like $5 us into myetherwallet and then go ahead. Correct me if I´m wrong...!!!

How many ATS you receive when the ICO is over can be calculated by dividing the 100M tokens to the amount we raise.

If we raise $7M (~21,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 5,000 ATS (100M / 21000 =~5000 ATS)
If we raise $5M (~15,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 6,600 ATS (100M / 15000 = 6600 ATS)
If we raise $3M (~9,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 11,000 ATS
If we raise $2M (~6,000 ETH) , for 1 ETH invested you will receive 16,600 ATS

Thanks for the explanations)
 
So the eth rate will be the actual usd/eth rate *(for example https://etherscan.io ) upon the end time of ICO or is it preset *(~to 333USD per Ether) ?

And what about polo exchange?

Can I contribute some more ether now, mean is your email server active as I need to confirm tx and want tokens to be send to other address?

P.S. Hope it will be fine last ICO end hours with the website and servers

We will use an average rate for ETH for the last 30 days, from the first day we launched the ICO to the last day of the ICO (15th Aug to 14th Sept).

You can contribute now, everything is up and running.

We also contacted Poloniex but they want to see the ICO is over first.

Thank you,
Peter
