HE USE WE FOR FREE CAMPAIGN!!! HI PETER, DO YOU HAVE A BRAIN???
IN THIS WORLD NOTHING IS FREE..... YOU WASTE MY TRUST AND MY TIME FOR CAMPAIGN!!!

even if he sends it, the hope on this coin is dashed.
Have you noticed that those shouting 'shut up' 'noobs' 'newbies' are his disciples? they are no where to be found now.
They are all partners in crime.

Hello everybody! Somebody who participated and the airdrop received coins? It seems to me that they paid only to investors, and no tokens were paid to free ones.

They paid to bounty ones also. I get it

I have got this mail before, should I can receive my token? it seem 2 day not yet received.

var amount = 0;

UPDATE:

I understand many of you are upset, and I can understand your situation.

We will be manually paying each member who earned a minimum of 1,000 tokens.

Please be patient as manually paying every one is the only way to ensure you will receive the ATS tokens.

Once again, I apologize for the situation and this is what we can do to try to remedy part of this situation.

Thank you,
Peter

Thank you very much, Peter.

This is good news for me but you should look into finding a way to pay out the bounties for people with less than 1000ATS as well. Even if it is only by the end of the year.

IT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE PROBLEM PETER!! USE YOUR BRAIN..
HOW IF OUR ATS 100?? 200? 300? 700? 900?? NEVER GET THAT??
i was my time for campaign to my friend... DONT IDI*T..!

[idrisalomagold]

Ridiculous that a company that has raised over 4 Million dollars cannot spare the time or effort to verify the legitimacy of their own bounty campaign. They knew this would happen. They had no security checks or anything to prevent people from defrauding their system. They never had any intent of paying everyone out.

I have already sent detailed emails to poloniex, bittrex, and other exchanges explaining this dreadful situation and I urge everyone else to do the same until this is resolved.

Don't mind him. He is a scammer.

Peter, a few weeks ago I specifically asked you "will I be able to get out my 150 tokens or will there be a certain required number of tokens?"  You said that I would absolutely be able to get my 150 tokens.

A few days ago I asked you "Will I have 45 days to fill out the withdrawal form?"  You said "yes, you will have 45 days to fill out the form" and I was going to fill it out next week.

This is still unacceptable.  Even if it takes a while, please open up your withdrawal form again and find a solution for paying us.

How about you guys pay out gradually over the next 40 days so all those who worked for your bounty campaign get paid?  Wouldn't that be a better solution?

BLACKLIST THIS COIN https://www.change.org/p/authorship-give-us-our-promised-ats-tokens

Hold your horses  

I think all of bounty hunters want to trade with ATS
There is no place to trade for today, so we can wait a little.
Give the ATS team some time to resolve this issue.

@Peter, make a right decision, please.

No security checks? Do you see the thousands of people we suspended for duplicate IPs, fake names etc?

As mentioned previously, we will be manually paying everyone who earned over 1,000 ATS.

Thanks,

[pitar]

Make at least a threshold of 500 ATS. I earned 760 ATS, which is exactly in the middle between 1000 and 500.

Please don’t forget smaller users under 1000, it’s unfair already it’s even more unfair to punish smaller bounty helpers

[Noizie]

Early on in the bounty, I was in the top ten on the leader-board.

I promoted your project in good faith on Reddit, even corresponding with you via e-mail to confirm that promoting/inviting via the platform was acceptable (not "spam"). I guided people on there, helping them and giving them instructions on how to set up a MyEtherWallet to receive their tokens.

And now you pull this: not only will I not receive my tokens for promoting your platform, but none of the people who trusted me on Reddit will receive theirs, as well.

They put their faith in me, as I put my faith in your platform, and you've just, to be crude, shat over both like some greasy cars salesman.

You're collectively punishing the genuine users because of the fraudsters, offering a token (to use a pun), a worthless token, of a few measly books instead of what was promised to people.

You basically scammed or duped people into being advertisement platforms for the false promise of compensation.

If you're going to do an airdrop, at least have the decency to find a way to fulfil your promise.

No, you didn't have to do an airdrop in the first place, but you did: you committed yourself to it, and now you're essentially weaselling your way out of it.

I am utterly disgusted by this.

Fix it. Give people what you promised somehow, or the reputation of your platform is going to tank it before it even launches.

Hell, this stunt may have tainted it irreparably already.

I totally agree, same thing here. We did heavy promotion and gave instructions how to set up wallet and so on. Now i see almost everyone got "suspended" for unknown reason. Now a coupon for books? c'mon.. Think of the Investors. I am investor myself, i bought ATS coins also. Ask the investors what they would do, i bet they'ss all agree that just paying the tokens to everyone would at least keep the faith in authorship.

You didn't understood why we can't to this. When we start sending payments and we get to send payments to "fail addresses" after a couple fails we can't send anything else for a couple more hours as the peer nodes will reject all the remaining transactions.

Let's say I pay you now and then I hit 10 fail addresses, I get stuck for a couple more hours, meaning we'll never get to send payments to everyone. If we try to send more, all those attempts will fail as well.

We will be paying people who earned a minimum of 1,000 to begin with. Once that is successful, we can see if there is anything else we can do to improve the situation.

That was all after the fact. You allowed people to spam the bounty campaign in the first place by using multiple ips. Every other campaign I participated in had an application I had to complete in order to even begin.

Thanks for starting to resolve this issue though and I have removed my previous message you quoted

Pay out per the original terms or don't pay out at all.  A sudden switcheroo at the last minute to - essentially - steal thousands of hours of effort is not acceptable.

IMO the community should lobby for this coin to be blacklisted from exchanges.  You've shown, without question, you are not interested and fair dealing.

[Destroyer1333]

Holy Cow thanks a lot.

I have 1880 ATS and it´s all I want. I didn´t do this for 3 books that worth up to $100. I already got all the book that I need with me. Thanks in advance for doing all this manually.

Much much do I have to wait for my 1880 ATS?

So peter are people below 1000 fools promoting you guys? Are people who earned just 75 token not fit for getting them? You people already did the first part... Blocking fraudsters and their ids.... Then why the hell are you punishing normal people who worked hard for ur project and made it a super hit ico? Don't you guys know that what u people earned is a very large sum to be a successful ico? We made you achiet it....and receive this in favour? Either it's 75 or 500 or 1000 honor them..... Because taking ur words into consideration people did not fill withdraw form in a hurry and are about to do that.... And you lock the doors all sudden? Reply us.... We want to hear from you....

[AutumnAcacia]

Peter, excuse me. My address is not listed on the sent transactions?
As in, I don't think my address did not get processed for ATS. So my address hasn't had a chance to get stuck yet. Please try <3

Peter, those of us who got at least 150 ATS tokens have to have referred at least one person.

You complain that not many people know what ETH is or used ERC-20 compatible addresses.  I'm convinced that if you payed out everyone who has at least 150 ATS tokens, rather than 1000, you would find that these people are more knowledgeable about ETH and it would be fine.

Please give us, the smaller promoters for your campaign, our rightful compensation too.
