I can't swap my ember. Damn to Cryptopia. 4 weeks in pending withdraw of emberCoin: with support that closed my tickets. And now hacked too? Really? Huh Huh I'm very frustrating about this exchange. I think that nothing was hacked. And they are escaped with our digital money.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Cry Cry

  Some of you that have interest in small cap altcoins might be familiar with Ember Coin.  Ember Coin went through several generations of dev teams with no real direction.  Ember was a hyper-inflationary coin with a circulating supply of about 9 trillion and no specific utility.  Early in 2018 the Ember community assumed control of the abandoned project, brought in new leadership and developers and formed Atheneum.  The goal was to solve the two major problems with Ember: supply and utility.  

   The first goal of the project was to figure out a substantial use-case for blockchain.  Often, blockchain projects will just take an existing business model and attempt to slap a "blockchain" sticker on it.  The Ember community was all to familiar with a failed blockchain project so they were devoted to formulating a use for Atheneum that solved real problems in the real world.  The community voted and the consensus concluded that education was an industry in desperate need of a paradigm shift.  

   In order to accomplish this feat there would need to be a lot of technical work done just to get the project re-branded, re-calibrated and onto a new blockchain that didn't carry the technical and fundamental problems of Ember.  So it was decided that a new PoS chain would need to be constructed - one governed by Masternodes and the world's first DALO (Decentralized Autonomous Learning Organization).  The supply would be scaled down from 9 trillion to an initial circulating supply of only 25M with a total supply of 100M.  

  2018: the year that will go down in history as the year that real blockchain projects were built in spite of less than favorable market conditions was an entire year devoted to the building of infrastructure so that the community could transition from the old chain to the new.  This is where we find ourselves now, at the jumping off point.  On January 7th, 2019 crypto's first live streamed coin swap & burn went live.  Trillions of Ember tokens have brought to fruition the definition of their name - they were burned and from those smoldering embers came freshly minted Atheneum tokens ($AEM).  
  The process will continue until February 6th, 2019.  If you have any Ember coins and you wish to swap them for $AEM, you can vistit the link below to begin that process.  You can also send them to www.C-patex.com and they will swap them for you automatically.
  The new website www.AtheneumChain.io is now live and you can check out the White Paper along with other important information like the Core Team and information about how the DALO's governance works.

   While this swap is a major milestone in the history of this project, we believe the best is yet to come because we face a problem that people universally understand and desire a solution for.  Atheneum is a project devoted to changing how instructors are compensated while simultaneously decreasing cost barriers to education for students.  We believe that if you take a moment and read the White Paper, you will be convinced that Atheneum is the technology that will accomplish this tremendous feat.

  Additional Notes:
* The Atheneum Team has recovered all Stake United holdings (exchange recently closed) and we have already swapped them for you.  If you had Ember holdings on Stake United and would like to be credited in $AEM, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSch7R3DmZYEP_5hpM-aWnFeZqyAKGA8mIxOynX_3NpaqfMgAw/viewform
* StakeCube Ember holdings were automatically swapped to $AEM.  If you had $EMB on SC, you will now have an $AEM account and they have already begun staking for you.  
* You can buy $AEM on C-Patex and Nova Exchange.
