MANDATORY UPDATE to 1.0.0.2
OP UPDATED

Hi,  are all the forks merged into version 1002 or cutoff at block 85,000? The pool that I was in is still on the old version 1000 fork.  Will I lose all the coins mined after the 85,000 block?  I pray that dev would do the merge so I don't lose the few thousand coins that I mined since the fork.

No, we did not merge, we cut off at 85K, merging would be extremely unfair for the very obvious reason the pools who didn't upgrade were handing out non-existent coins. Block-reward dropped to 7.5 at 85K, pools which did not upgrade were still handing out 10. We announced well ahead (60 hours) there was a mandatory update. We don't see why we would reward pools/persons that caused the fork. Also it is simply impossible to do anything fairly towards all the people who DID upgrade, any coin to compensate you must come out of their pockets, and that's not right at all, they did everything right.

So sorry, this is how it's going to be, if you don't like it go please go harass the pool operator, they were the ones who didn't bother to upgrade and thus caused the fork, maybe that operator learns something and stays more active on the forums (like they should be).

The 'official' pool is currently up to date, there is no need to register, just enter the below data in your miner-software and any coins mined will be send straight to your wallet.
Don't forget ATH matures in 80 blocks, so you won't see any coin appear in your local wallet untill 1 hour after you started mining.

Stratum: stratum+tcp://pool.atheistcoin.org:3333
Username: your AtheistCoin address
Password: anything


Note: Mining in the official pool helps ATH stay alive, we take a tiny fee and use that to fill our development/hosting/give-away fund.
However this is not nearly enough, (I guess we were to fair for our own good,) so if you would like to help us out, please donate some to the address listed in OP.

And a reminder: As long as not all our nodes are upgraded (unfortunately we do not control all of them), the Warning about the other nodes needing to upgrade will stay visible, please do not worry about this, it shows just because some of the unofficial nodes that have not upgraded yet, this should be resolved as soon as we managed to contact all the volunteers running these nodes.
If you use the 1.0.0.2 wallet you should be fine.
