New release: Auroracoin 2018.09.1.0

With great joy we announce a new release of the Auroracoin core wallet. It is the result of the development we have done for over a year. With this release we improved a lot of poor programmed code and improved on standardization for future development. We added support for newer versions of libraries that the Auroracoin core wallet uses, including Openssl version 1.1 and the latest version of miniupnpc, while maintaining backward compatibility for older versions. The build system also had its fair share of improvements, making building for Windows and MacOSX easier.

I don't know. This community member send me another PM explaining that Rijk is pulling a long history of "things" together and see who he can hold accountable for. It also seem to extend beyond the BCT threads.

As you are closer to Rijk than I am (I assume you (can) speak to him in the Gulden Slack), I guess you can better ask him if it's fake or not. I would to love to hear his reply.

As for selling all my Gulden, it is going through my thoughts the past few days. I've stopped selling weeks ago, as I do most of it through Litebit and.. well, they were in maintenance mode. But to be honest, my confidence in Gulden has reached an all-time low.

So, it seems Rijk and his dad are preparing a court case and I'm asked
to distance myself from RichPissman. I could put a pointless, single line
claim here, but I don't do that, as it isn't my style. I thought I've
always been very clear towards my stance regarding Gulden en Rijk, which
partially overlaps with RichPissman's opinion. This is due to my history
with Rijk and Gulden in general.

I have no issues with Gulden and and have said it before multiple times that
Gulden in essence is a good idea and I would love to see it succeed. Yet, I
don't agree that the path chosen in the past few years is the right one.

In this part I disagree with Rijk and the dev team. We had and probably still
have different opinions about that. Also, how I saw how he managed things
it became clear to me that he and I have quite different personalities and
those would collide. Currently, I don't see myself cooperating with him or have
the need to have Rijk as a friend.

So far the things that I and RichPissman most likely have in common. My sayings
and actions come from the background described above, not because of RichPissman
or anyone else on the forum.

As for the way RichPissman expresses himself, I personally would never do it in
such strong words. Again, not my style. I always try to have discussions on the
subject that is being discussed and matters, not on a person himself. If
however a person does something that I don't agree with, I have the freedom of
speech to say something about that. This person is free to respond and explain
his actions. In this I always try to respect the person himself, whether this is
Rijk, RichPissman or anyone else.

Probleem is natuurlijk dat je ook niet echt weet wat banken precies zullen vragen.

Update: Ik wacht nog steeds op een reactie van de bank.

Check out this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4937333.msg44502180#msg44502180

It contains more information regarding Gulden. The rest is just derailed discussion.

Nothing, that jail thing was made up by JimJimJimJim.

Dude, jail time... seriously? Hint: Not every "law breaking" results in jail time.

Let me tell you how it went:
1) I got a PM (that mentioned RichPissman) from a member from the Gulden community threatening me legally to close the thread.
2) Replied that I would think about it and that I would contact RichPissman, if he wanted to have it closed earlier he should have contacted a forum mod.
3) I PM'ed RichPissman explaining the situation.
4) I closed the thread. RichPissman had already opened this thread.
5) PM'ed member from point 1 that I closed the thread, just like he asked me to do.

No legal boundary has been crossed from my side, just (possibly fake) legal threats by a member from the Gulden community. My real ID is known on this forum and I just don't have the time to spend time on such lingering bullshit. That's why I closed the thread.

To bad we had to close the previous thread. It shows that some people use legal threats to force their will. Although I have my doubts these threats are real, I'd rather not risk them. All I wanted was some decent discussion, but it seems some people can't handle that.

Back on-topic... so we have our SegSig release, what can we expect next from the Devs?

Well, apparently it had to come to this.

I go for the alternative: Rijk sends people here from time to time to try to pull people to his slack instead of here and
have some bullshit discussion about nothing. Apparently the people in the Gulden Slack care about what's being discussed
here.

@johnny As for Auroracoin, development (in my spare time) is still going strong. The fact that you can't find it... well...
you're not in Iceland and you are not really interested. Now, back on-topic, Gulden.

@johnnybraveau, all the "trolls" here would love to have Gulden accepted everywhere and it's price not in the gutter where it currently is. Most of them, including me, even helped Gulden at some point to get it somewhere. But most of us got tired of Rijk's bullcrap over and over again. If Rijk knows so well on how to handle this, let him do it.

The only branching out was drop the focus on the Netherlands a few years ago... Shoot for the stars!!! Because we missed the moon!

Did that in the past, didn't work.

I wonder if that actually would work... request Bittrex to get delisted. Has any coin done that successfully in the past?

Free monies, sold at profit.

I just put in Openssl v1.1 support: https://github.com/aurarad/Auroracoin/commit/2ba591fa31067e7367d1872a0a0c7f135b460af5

It builds, but hasn't been tested during runtime. If you want to test it, make sure you backup your wallet and perform small transactions only.

I don't say that NLG and BTC should be disconnected. NLG and EUR pairing should get their shit together and be more important than NLG-BTC. But all the NLG fanboys are looking at BTC and seeing it drop, but instead of starting to buy NLG for BTC, they sell it against EUR as well.

Ik ben een precedent tegengekomen van iemand die voor 1200 euro aan bitcoins verkocht had op localbitcoins (Nederlandse verkoper, Duitse koper) en de Duitse bank een melding van fraude maakte. De Nederlandse bank boekte het geld terug naar Duitsland, persoon heeft gelijk gekregen van de rechter. Natuurlijk is dit een geheel andere situatie.

@friends1980, ik ben een vrij principieel persoon, maar ik stap niet direct naar de rechter. We hebben in Nederland eerst de mogelijkheid om het via de bank te regelen, vervolgens kunnen we naar het Kifid (financiële klachten organisatie), daarna kunnen we alsnog naar de rechter. Dat goed huisvaderschap hebben we hier echter helaas niet, onze regering zegt gewoon "zorg maar dat je de 4% haalt, alles boven de 43.000 euro (inclusief crypto's) betaal je belasting over".

Gisteren belde de klantenservice van de Triodos bank op met wat vragen. De vriendelijke vrouw aan de lijn was dus nog niet op de hoogte van mijn mail, dus de hele situatie (nogmaals) uitgelegd en gezegd dat de interne communicatie behoorlijk slecht is. Aangezien ze niet echt voldoende voorbereid was op mijn gesprek kwam ze eigenlijk niet verder dan "wij zijn een duurzame bank en bitcoins zijn niet duurzaam" (niet in die woorden, maar tussen de regels bedoelde ze dit wel). Ze was een beetje stil over mijn situatie en argumentatie waarom ik deed wat ik aan het doen was. Daar was ze een beetje stil van. Uiteindelijk wilde ze volgens mij alleen bellen om te vragen waarom ik dergelijke grote bedragen naar Knab en Bunq overgemaakt had en of die bitcoin-gerelateerd waren. Het antwoord was natuurlijk dat ze mijn rekening op gaan heffen en het geld ergens heen moet.

Vooralsnog geen email bevestiging van mijn mail gehad (normaal krijg ik wel geautomatiseerde bevestiging van ontvangst), misschien nog maar eens mailen om te vragen of de mail goed ontvangen is.

This has NOTHING to do with marketing or not. Some people asked here why Litebit is in maintenance mode for the past few days, I contacted them and this was their reply.

So I contacted Litebit regarding their Gulden wallet being in maintenance for a few days now, their reply in Dutch:


In English: they are having issues regarding integrating it with their own systems and are in close contact with the Gulden development team to find a solution. No indication regarding when it will be back up again.
