Authorship (ATS) token is a scam

[sujonali1819]

So I followed the ATS token for a few weeks. I gained quite a few tokens by promoting them on social media and registering with them.
When it came out to distribute the tokens, they came up with some lame excuses and didn't distribute any.
If this is how they plan to do business, I would stay away. Just words of advice.

i dont know they are scam or not . i work their airdrop but i did not get any coin .they said that their distribution is completed. they also said all are paid except who registered more than three account with same ip .i registered only one account but i did not get any reward .i dont know why this happened  .now ats coin is traded on etherdelta.

ATS is a serious scam. That guy is a moron and I hope we bring him to justice when we are ready to do so. That us why is good to invest in ICO that have already brought something to the table. Don't just throw your money to dogs. Look at Centra. The card of Centra is already working. Centra is on exchange etc.

Sorry to hear that some people are experiencing problems - personally I received my purchased tokens soon after the sale ended and I was able to add them via MEW by using the custom token process that is available on their page.  Now I want to see how the company make progress on their development roadmap - will they keep to the timing set out during the ICO?  Time will tell.  In the meantime I have not seen a price for the token yet.  Any ideas?

In view of the comments regarding Bounty I am checking to see if my 75 Bounty ATS has been paid or not as that was not clearly stated as there was no statement of account so to speak.

It has been listed on EtherDelta and price is as low as 0.01$..

Update: Exchange Listing
Sep 25, 2017 | Blog


Hello,
We would like to announce that as promised, we have officially submitted the ATS token to several crypto-exchanges as per the community demand.

While we aren’t allowed to publicly mention the exchanges names, as per their policy, it is expected to start showing up in several of them in the coming days/weeks as more of them approve the ATS token.

EtherDelta.com already listed the ATS token. You can exchange ATS to and from ETH.

Everytime we will be listed through a new exchange we will publish a blog post to announce it. We cannot offer you exact dates as we aren’t being offered exact dates either by the exchanges we submitted to.

PS: The bounty campaign distribution is almost over and expected to end within the next 24-48 hours as we process a remaining batch of transfers.

Regards,
Authorship.com Team

Anybody knows what will happen after distribution? Main thread is closed.

One of their latest mails say that there will be an update regarding exchanges this 25th. I hope token distribution will be done by tomorrow so we can have the good news about the exchanges. However, I kind of doubt they will finish sending tokens tomorrow. I'm so excited with this one but delays are possible.

Looks like I missed this email. Thank you for this information, I finally got my 535 token from referrals, so I am happy again

Got all my tks and noticed the EtherDelta listing. But as expected, it's not even close to 0.15 USD as initially written. I know, that this wasn't a promise, but 0.01 (or lower) is hard for investors imho if you think about the fact, that 1 ETH = 7,687 ATS.

And tbh... EtherDelta?

You are welcome. Hope the other honest bounty hunters get their shares too!

I think it's because there are less traders there so I'll be waiting for it to be listed on big exchanges.

[SoftCreatR]

But the reason for less traders is the bad reputation that Authorship got during the last days. I'm unsure, if things are getting better over the time or if ATS just died before it came to live.

[TmxPro]

Well, i just got my 385 tokens np, so maybe not a scam afterall

It's only a mishandled situation and Authorship dealt with it. It's probably not a scam and will be long forgotten after the platform is launched.

It should get better overtime so as hatred for a mishandled situation. I'm doing other bounties and it won't bother me even if I was not paid. I messaged them kindly even after about what they said about the book voucher.

Don't get me wrong, I earned 15k ATS tokens and didn't put a hate message on the thread. The thing is we got to move on to more productive things.

As for Etherdelta, I think it's not a big exchange such as Poloniex and Bittrex so I expect the price to be that low. I will not touch that exchange for now. Bigger exchanges are definitely better in my opinion as demand is higher I suppose.

I do not have many but not received any token...

[bstewart]

So, has anyone heard from the devs?

I don't think giving them a pass is the right thing to do. They are either so incompetent they can't distribute coins or so deceaving that they lied to thousands of people.
Either way I don't think they should be trusted.

[ostsee77]

has one of the dev reported in the last days?  or something written to the situation?
ATS is garbage and is also not better. I forget the token  

[KaranRaut]

I received the email too but not the tokens..

And I can guarantee that I registered just once...

So not going to trust Aurthorship or use their product.. So long ATS..

[Anita1873]

In my opinion, it is not total scam as many people get and many people waiting their turn to get coins to their account. We have to wait, till the admin says that now the distribution is over. If we not get any coin at that time, then we can ask it as a scam, not before that.

I never received mine. But even if I received them, it's still a scam.
The promise was $10 worth of tokens, if now 75 tokens is worth $0.75, that means they waited long enough to cash out their own tokens before giving out worthless bounty tokens..

In addition, it's very nice to see Brand-new accounts registering here just to say they've received their tokens. That's not suspicious at all!

[rhomzkie26]

As far as I know ATS is more on referral schemes, which in the sight of many others here it is like a Ponzi scheme, But depending on their perception about it. So I guess with your concern try to send inbox message to find out what it is happened to you.

I can prove, that i've got mine: https://etherscan.io/address/softcreatr.eth#tokentxns

I'm just sad about the fact, that my ATS aren't nearly worth what i've invested into their ICO. I really hope, that this will change, if ATS will be listed on a more trusted exchange.
