Title: In 40 Hours already 4% of Iceland's population claimed their Auroracoins
Post by: Canaanite on March 25, 2014, 11:32:14 AM
I'm happy to see that Balduro stands by his words and deliver the coins.
The Media is going crazy over it

So far we didn't see any crazy dump of coins - I personally think that if you get a present you don't sell it away :) (But I do forecast a rollercoaster in the price due to speculators)

Icelandic business have the right attitude to accepting it and merchants tools already functioning... I wonder how the government will react, it can be a big Milestone in the life of Bitcoin

Although the price has not plunged down, it has fallen a bit. I admit I expected an immediate crazy dump of coins.

I want to say its due to High supply but I doubt that new to the bitcoin world know how to convert the money and dump it
They do have website who do it for them : http://auroracoin.com/
you deposit Auroras and get Bitcoins back :)

Its probably still pure speculation

This implies auroracoin is already more popular than bitcoin, with 1% adoption. The crypto war against ignorance has been won today. Thanks Balduro. Great idea. Best wishes to you. Many people have ideas, a few get to work to make things happen. You are one of those rare individuals.

1% of Iceland population -> http://auroracoin.org/ (there is a counter)
no coins were dumped when AUR was 100usd -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446062.0 (all addresses are posted)[/li][/list]

I hope that the price of AUR will raise again, I am still a bag-holder, I purchased AUR just before the begin to fall under 0.05
And like me are many others people, which right now want only to recover their investment...

Open an Auroracoin brothel. It'll get the coins into circulation, and make some people happy =)

I still can't find any info showing that 1% of Icelanders have gotten there coin (although, that's about 3,000 people so not an all to staggering number, but it's not a small number for sure). It feels to me that if the airdrop was so pivotal, they would allow the display of redemption to be more easily accessible.

I would never invest in a coin with a 50% pre-mine. Good news for the Icelandic people though if true.

Although the price has not plunged down, it has fallen a bit. I admit I expected an immediate crazy dump of coins.

Which is the reason it has fallen a bit. Markets always price in the expectations.

Its true in some cases, but in this case the market is still not liquid enough... few whales decide what are their expectations.
If you believe in Auroracoin just buy and hold for a long term. no way telling where its going to by speculating

Thanks for the info. Out of curiousity, if I recall correctly, since the airdrop involves using national credentials, do we know where most of the redemption is occurring? Has the developer made any tools to track if a certain region is not redeeming so that can be addressed?

It's nice to see the airdrop seeming to have effect, is there any place where a independent third party is vetting the results of the airdrop so far?

Thanks for your response. I got my answer from another similar thread.

I knew that the greater Reykjavik area was home to over 1/2 of the country's population, but I wanted to know if we could track redemption in the smaller towns throughout the country.

It's slowly going down in price!

The price seems to be dropping and dropping now.

I don't think the goal for this coin was to get an ever-increasing BTC market price on cryptsy. The volatility just shows that the "market" has no clue what to think of this coin. And how could it? It is just the beginning.

~BCX~

Until proven otherwise, the number of actual Icelanders that have claimed their coins is 3.1%.  The claim made by BCX is made up on the spot and completely unsupported.  When you start pointing to actual non-refutable evidence of this being the scam that you for some reason wish so hard for it to be -- you have every right to gloat.  Until then, you are only putting forth your personal speculations as unsupported facts.  Right now you're really just the religion to AUR's science :(

Icelanders are NOT claiming their coins.  

this quote from the auroracoin thread:

Have 100 (unused) working Kennitalas, that are 100% in Aurora database, need Islandic SMS number(s).

Will share 50%. Instant cash out to Bitcoin. Can do big volume!


Why would someone with a icelandic number share anything with you? You can find lots of kennitalas just googling around
Because most out of Google are already used!

hahahaha  want some free auroracoin?  google an icelandic ID number.  

there's your so-called 4% adoption rate.
 fucking fraud.

so in theory you could just find people in iceland and get their ID number and type it in on site and get free aurora coins?

I think it's highly impossible to received auroracoins by doing that. I read somewhere that they are using a facebook app wherein it will access your personal information on facebook including phone numbers and it will match the ID number of every citizen.

hahahaha  want some free auroracoin?  google an icelandic ID number.  

there's your so-called 4% adoption rate.
 fucking fraud.

Just knowing an ID is not enough you know.


so in theory you could just find people in iceland and get their ID number and type it in on site and get free aurora coins?

No. Currently they have to verify via SMS or FB account made prior to airdrop.

It seems like that Auroracoin distributions doing pretty good. I just hope all of those 31.8 transactions  were from legitimate claimants. If this become successful it will be a big triumph not only for Auroracoin but for the whole crypto community.

Its almost 5% by now
the blockchain is stuck because of some idiot called BCX trying to ruin it. it might take a while until the next block will be found.
when you will be able to enter you will see transaction of 31.8; in addition you can just go to https://www.facebook.com/auroracoin.org
and see the business that accept Auroracoin. The people who claimed it. and some people having problems seeing their coins in the wallet. so yeah.. IT IS 5% unless you can prove otherwise.

Are you kidding? There is no reason to believe a percentage that we don't know what it means or to what it corresponds to. But anyway, I will prove you that it is FALSE:


In numbers...how many thousands is 5% ? Using the numbers in the webpage, which claim that 330,000 icelanders are elegible, this is 16,500 icelanders.

The number of transactions in the blockchain previous to last block (5379   2014-03-26 23:48:54) do not match by far the percentage announced in the webpage at that moment.

For instance, at 14:33 GMT on 3/26/2014 I personally recorded the percentage in the webpage and it was 3.64% which is 12,012 icelanders, and you can check that you don't have more than 2,000 transactions of 31.8 AUR in the blockchain.

This proves that the percentage in the webpage is bullshit.

Also, quite curiously, the percentage in the webpage is increasing at a constant pace which is unrealistic.

SO...UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE OTHERWISE, THE 5% IS BULLSHIT.

Two of the premined address have been depleted (1MM coins) and we have very curious transactions:

Following back some 31.8 transactions also brings curious surprises and there is a lot to explain on how the airdrop is done.

Sure,
17,714 transactions counted manually and thats without the last block that I assume going to have about 3k by itself (takes like 9 hours already)


I assume he just moved coins from one premined to other premined there are no lost coins.

Here are some Auroracoin - related items in the media

From Iceland,
In English

Iceland's MBL newspaper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgunbla%C3%B0i%C3%B0)

Quote
More than five thousand Icelanders have today attended aurora coin - rafmynt which was started at midnight last night . Every one of the country you can apply for 31.8 units of coins on her website , but it is necessary to identify themselves with either a phone number or a Facebook account. Considering the market value of the currency at the moment is a value assigned to each one about 40 thousand ISK . Has it gone down somewhat today, but many had predicted that with the large increase of the currency in circulation would lower its price . As I write 161,257.8 units have been loaded, but it amounts to about 1.54 % of the 10.5 million units that are available free for Icelanders.
It is not known who is behind the project , but Baldur Frigg Óðinsson registered for press releases about the coin . No one by that name is listed in the National Register , but there 's probably been referring to the Nordic runic Committee . Then, the home of the currency registered in Panama , but it can be difficult to trace who the real owner of the sites listed there.

Central Bank , the Financial Supervisory Authority and other government agencies have warned the media and called him virtual funds in the notice that was sent out that day. Said there include the value of the currency would be unsafe from time to time and the use of carry risks . There is still unclear whether the use of the currency violates the law of capital controls .

Coin has attracted much attention of foreign media and include discussion of it on the website of Forbes and Guardians today.

Forbes article I believe was already linked.
Here is the Guardian article:

Is the block 5400 thing really because of BCX egotrip? Not believing if this is for real or not? (or being convinced that it's a scam, because thats basically what is keeps saying).
Why not have a look and see if the devs keep their word. Looks like until now, they seem to be doing ok. Sure we could use some more confirmation and actual info from Iceland, but hey, let's see where this experiment go's.

Why break something that could potentially create something great for the icelandic economy. I'd be really disappointed if the DDOS will continue when the succes of the coin has been proven. You can always destroy it later if it's a scam.
This could potentially be a perfect grass roots initiative to break loose from the financial ties that have dragged the country in extreme inflation.
If it wouldnt be so cold, id consider moving to Iceland, because they were the only country with the balls to let the banks fail, while the rest of us is still waiting for that to happen..

Such a shame that some guy tries to compensates the feeling about his reproductive organ with a big mouth and bunch of botnet systems, when the worlds crypto reputation is at stake.
Can't we buy him a nice hummer or something? I'll donate for that cause..

This scene has disproportionate amount of people who'd still be 24/7'ing redtube and 4chan in their mommas basements if they didn't happen to stumble upon bitcoin back when it was pennies. Gaining easy unearned wealth tends to get to people's heads especially the feeble minded and they become to think of themselves as entitled and others as undeserving. Also, when it's about money, more competition takes attention away from their investments and they just hate seeing someone else succeed even if it would eventually help their own success as well.

Given the demographic here comparing this forum to music/film/architecture forums, the difference can be dramatic.

cryptos are dying, there's nothing inherently superior about using them for an american at least, maybe if you are doing something illegal or in a country that is oppressive, but the shitcoin explosion, constant volatility, and constant presence of scammers and profit mongers killed any crypto interest I might have.  Basically all shitcoins are worthless to me, and I'll only get into bitcoin if it gets back under 150 bucks each.

These coin makers can say anything they want, but the truth is they are just going to take the money and run.

thanks.  wanted to see if the developer had responded on their forums about the blockchain problem.

weird that the developer was notified weeks ago about a possible flaw, yet chose to do nothing about it.

The dev team had no long term plans for this coin.
The goal was to make it to the air drop and cash out the laundered coins.
They just didnt plan on the "obstacles" to the easy money.

When the coin was released, the devs bought them up and artificially drove the price up to $95.00 each and then extrapolated that across the entire premine which was not in circulation

If they did do that then it was a very clever promotional strategy that worked.

Although BitcoinEXpress makes some interesting conjectures, the overall garbage level of his posts is too high.

According to "Morgunbladid", 5000 had already collected their quote 3 days ago. That was 2% of the population back then.

People have actually started using it for trading second hand goods...

How come the Auroracoin holders are so willing to be effectively funding the free-money-to-Icelanders airdrop?

When you hit ignore on BCX and all his fake accounts, the average IQ of this forum doubles. Try it.  ;D
