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

[tranduc2101]

If another person registered more than one nick under my ref link, I would be affected?Huh

I'm interested in this project, but I found something strange about its ico.
It claims over $2.5M raised, but I checked its ico ether address, 417 eth(about $136,883), only about 5% of all!
All others are by Wire transfers + Credit Card payments? Isn't it strange for such a project?

The ico ether address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x3aae4da9A22d518996031791D3Bd61f45DEf6aC7

No, it's okay. This has been discussed many times before (read the topic).

This project has a lot of investors offline, far from the technology of blockchain, trading and crypto-currencies.

Hello guys i have a question. Is coinbase eth wallet supported? because i registered using that eth address. If not, can i change my eth address from when i registered? Thanks 

They can change that for you. You can email them at contact@authorship.com and they respond quite fast.

I emailed them about my cousin's problem and they replied  within the day. That's good enough for me.

As much as i would love this ico to have more investors to reach its target, am also feeling selfish about the number of ATS Token to 1 eth we would get when the 7million is reached. Lol! Weird!

Haha, I know that feeling.

Why would someone register multiple times against your reference? They would get their own after the first time, if they were going to cheat, they'd surely do it against their own and not someone elses lol

I have 80 subscribers under my ref link so I'm worried if they posted more than one account under the ref link, my account stays the same from last week.

For eth depsoits we can check from the block chain regarding funding for the project... For offline how to know how much money entering into the project accurately?

For now you can only see this be checking the total displayed on our page. Once the ICO is over we'll publish account statements from both our bank and merchant accounts as confirmation.

Nothing will happen if something is wrong with only a handful of referrals. Worst case: we remove those specific referrals, but you won't get suspended for this.

[peterauthorship]

Can i use bittrex wallet ETH for the ICO?

No, as you cannot receive the ATS tokens back there. You need to use an ERC-20 compatible wallet (ex: myetherwallet.com, imToken)

Hi there,
do you intend to list the books on f.e. Amazon one day? Will Authorship be available in other languages? Since the website is in English i had to do a translation and explanation to many of my friends to convince them to sign up (or even invest in the ICO). Most people's english abilities are not that well so they can understand all the terms ;-)
How about the risk of publishing to many  "crap" books in the future? Since, in the old fashioned way, a publisher actually reads the script and then decides (sure, mostly for monetary reasons, I know) to either publish it or not. Same thing with translations, if anyone can signup as a translator and does a bad translation of a book? Does anyone read over it and confirms the quality?

[nothingtosee]

Hope I can find some Referrals

Question: When a reader-user of the platform wants to order your book (first possible sale), and the publishers make their offers to the author, will their offer regard the printing of that one single book, or will an agreement be reached for future orders as well? If so; will there also be options to negotiate a number of copies or a deadline whereafter new negotiations must follow?  

P.s. As an author I am interested in this project but I think the name is a bit unlucky as it will appeal mostly to authors. A name like 'Literature coin' would more easily have caught the eye of readers and publishers as well. Anyway, it's now to late to change that.

Hi,
Our intention is to compete with Amazon one day.

Once the platform will be launched it will be made available in several languages, that won't be a problem.

Regarding the books quality, every book will go through an initial inspection before being listed. And once it got listed, readers reviews and ratings will determine if a book remains or not listed on the platform. This way we can eliminate the bad ones. As far as translations go, every translator will earn up reputation points based on the quality he provides. Te higher the reputation, the more trusted a translator becomes and more sales he will attract. Readers will be able to rate the translators. Also, several pages of the book will be provided as a preview before one gets to buy the book to get a sense of the quality.

An author will have the option to "lock" itself with just 1 publisher if he wants to (reach an exclusive agreement), or have his books work on a auction based system when it comes to printing and delivery.

Each publisher will have the option to offer discounts for bulk orders as well, directly to readers on the shopping cart.

As far as the name goes, I'll have to disagree. "Authorship" has an authoritative sound, it's catchy, easy to remember and caters to everyone. After all people don't go to Amazon, because the "word Amazon" screams "buy books" either It's all about building a brand.

Peter

I am not sure how price will develop after exchange listing because of all that bounty hunters and referer advertisers. How do you plan do handle that issue? And what will happen to unclaimed and unsold tokens? Will they be burned?
