Here's my issue: One, if you didn't have the code already working, why would you not then DELAY the fork? That part, you can get from a dozen github repos, the most currently famous being BCH.

Second, why is there no testnet? Or if there is, see the first question. That's the whole purpose of a testnet. You know, testing?

And if it DOES work, but not quite as intended, would it not make more sense to release what you got (a working, mining capable client, for instance) and work towards fixing that which does NOT work? Or again, delay the fork.

What we have now is something either designed to create fud and scam accusations, or a REALLY SERIOUSLY incompetent dev team.

BCA is alleged to have forked from BTC at block 505888. As I write this, we are at 507311. Making the assumption, as it is not clear at all in the announcement, that the block times are the same and the block reward is the same, that means the dev team ALONE has had access to this chain. If they coded no premine, they still have mined 1423 blocks since then. that's 17787.5 BCA, even if they claim no premine. Granted, the number of people who had coins at the initial block is going to be vastly more than that, but this just smells like market manipulation.

OTOH. If it doesn't yet work, then what the hell is the POINT of forking first and fixing later???

As for the sale of futures.. well, on a semi anonymous project who's only traceable asset is a pretty website, that's plain out sucker bait. Whether the Bitcoin Atom team has anything to do with that or not, it's still just wrong. Not a fan of Yobit to begin with, but that borders on criminal.

The more I look into this the more it screams scam IMO. To top it all off the only exchange this is listed on is Yobit which looks like a scam exchange itself based off hundreds of complaints.

Does Yobit let you withdraw BTC yet or is there a contract deadline date? If they do can anyone confirm they have withdrawn their BTC?

It smells the very same than Bitcoin Interest, which is definitely a big scam, please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2616641.msg29489124#msg29489124 and following post

See also how the "team" answered bulls to my questions post after post, thinking that people could swallow this

Then I ask again the very same question to Atom but I don't expect to get any answer

Go away from this one too
