The Authorship ICO crossed the $2.5M mark, with investments from over 1,100 investors.
The ICO will close on 14th Sept, moment when the ATS tokens will be distributed to everyone. Interested buyers still have 8 more days left to buy ATS tokens.
The Authorship project is completely unique. There is not a single competitor for anywhere in the market for what the team is trying to accomplish
It seems that the U.S. Government has lots of interest in this and sees a great potential on this kind of applications. Just a few days ago, the U.S. government has awarded a $100,000 grant to a group of researchers looking to apply blockchain to public library systems, something Authorship already developed and is going to use through the upcoming platform.
"The San Jose State University School of Information iSchool will investigate ways that blockchain technology can be used by libraries to partner with other organizations and to support city or community goals. Blockchain technology is a shared digital/electronic ledger featuring a constantly updated list of transactions. It is supported by a peer-to-peer network that may be either public or private. This technology has the potential to help libraries develop a distributed metadata system; facilitate better digital rights management; and create a protocol for supporting community based collections. The proposed National Forum would bring together 20-30 technical experts in libraries, blockchain technology, and urban planning to discuss ways that blockchain technology can advance library services to support city or community goals. The resulting commentary from a project blog, national forum, and conference and the survey data will be evaluated and included in the project's final report, which will be available online. The recommendations will serve as a guide for both large and small, urban and rural libraries to implement blockchain technology or consider other directions."
Authorship is already one step in front of what the U.S. government is just researching, proof that what they are trying to accomplish through Authorship is something many (including US gov) are looking forward to. Authorship aren't just building a coin, they are building a solution to problem.
In times when governments block and ban various crypto-currencies and their usage, what can be more safer than investing in something that governments are publicly expressing their interest into?
Interested investors can take part in the ICO until September 14 2017
