Seriously...?
But okay, on topic:
The Digibyte wallet is a crappy one. If you don't know what I mean by that, it might prove kinda difficult to explain, since Auroracoin is using the same core.
So. I'm not having all my wallets opened like 24/7. And most likely, average users won't either. What I was facing with the Digibyte wallet, is that it took quite some time to load. And once loaded, it took another good deal of time hauling all the blocks in, the synchronizing. So, I had to wait, wait, wait some, and wait some more, before I could see what my actual balance was, let alone before I could do anything useful with it. Not to mention the wallet crashes it did lately whilst synchronizing.
If you know what I am talking about, keep reading. If not, kindly someone else from the dev team to pop in please.
Now, before the multi-algo switch the Auroracoin wallet was nice. Loaded average quickly, synchronized nicely, no problems.
Though currently, my experience with the Auroracoin wallet is becoming similar with that of the Digibyte: Long load and synchronizing times. Except for the crashes, I haven't encountered them yet.
So with "optimizing", I mean anything that has overlap in the "speed" / "time" / "waiting" / etc area. I wasn't talking tech savy stuff, but usability. The changeover to multi-algo may have provided a more stable blockchain, but at the cost of having turtle wallet in return.
So in answer to your questions, yes, something like light wallets. Multibit, Electrum, that kinda stuff (but no web wallets). Or, just a better 'optimized' version of the current wallet; less turtle, more speed. 'Optimized', as from a users experience view: Having access to your funds quickly and being able to execute transactions in a fairly manner of time, instead of waiting, and waiting, more waiting, and zzzzzzzz....
Yes, seriously. You ask us what our plans are for optimizing the wallet. I wanted to know what you meant. Now that you've actually stated your desires, we can start discussing options. I just want to mention something here, right now. Almost all qt wallets are shit when it comes to syncing, mate. Have you tried to load Bitcoin or Litecoin core from scratch lately? Hell, even when you let them go for a month or two they take forever, even on the fastest connections. This load/sync process really hasn't been developed further in the mainstream. A lot of the reason is because of the creation of lite clients, and the fact that people aren't going to be using core when trying to make a quick transaction. I think the argument by devs is ultimately why fully uproot the core code, when you can adopt a completely different platform that does it better than the QT code will ever do? Not that it shouldn't be addressed in the QT wallet eventually, but it's not the biggest priority when alternate wallets are thrown into the mix. As far as AUR is concerned, there are alternatives. As BioMike stated, there are current options for quick day to day use, i.e. the Hive wallet and Coinomi. Maybe an MultibitHD or Electrum wallet would be beneficial to add into the mix, as we already have the electrum servers running for Coinomi. -Fuse |

Would someone be so kind to give an update or insight regarding and surrounding the desktop QT-wallet. Here is what I am facing: I left mining Digibytes because of their crappy QT-wallet https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408268.msg15150918#msg15150918Prior me leaving mining Digibytes, I started searching for a new source to point my equipment at. I knew of Auroracoin for some time, and was pleasantly surprised finding it still being alive and the takeover. I had positive experience with mining Auroracoins in the past, and whilst reading back and forth this topic and the prior ones, I decided to switch my resources from Digibyte to Auroracoin. The multi-algo's was one of the factors that had attracted me. I am honest to say, that I find myself somewhat disappointed. And I'm also honest to say that the 'fault' in that totally sits with myself, due to my expectations on the multi-algo. Except for the block time, I came to experience none of the code has been altered or optimized. Without wanting to be inflammatory, them guys at Digibyte cannot program properly. I'm not talking tech savy stuff here, but usability. Regarding usability, easy usability, their wallet just sucks. And giving it straight forward, Auroracoin's does to. The official Auroracoin forum, I find a total mess. Not fudding here, just giving some feedback. In my opinion it has no easy overview, on which I am stuck finding answers. So, my straight forward questions: Are their any plans to optimize the wallet? And if so, what would they be? "Optimizing" the wallet is pretty vague. When you say optimize the wallet, what are you looking for in a wallet update? Our primary concern with the code is that it provides a stable blockchain for us to build day to day services on. The change to multi-algo greatly improved this over our previous code. So as far as the blockchain workings are concerned, we're in a much better place now. The GUI is another story though. We've talked extensively as a group about changing the GUI, and BioMike has some decent plans on doing it, but they are somewhat secondary to our primary goals at this time. I also proposed that we get rid of QT altogether at some point in an alternative wallet. All that said though, you need to be clear on what you want. Is optimizing changing the GUI? Is it changing the blockchain specs? Are you wanting the wallet to just give you AUR every time you open it? Looking at your discussion in the DGB thread, are you just looking for an Electrum wallet for AUR? What is it that you want to see? -Fuse |

I still think you guys don't get my point I'm trying to make. I'm trying to make an ethical point, not something else.
I have seen quite some comments non favorable regarding the current Icelandic conditions, spanning back when the bank crisis began. And, that Auroracoin could prove a solution to it. So okay, Auroracoin pops in and gets accepted among the Icelandic population. Hurrah. And then some whale, P&D group or whatever comes along, and messes up Auroracoin pretty bad.
The above situation(s), whom would be held responsible you'd think? *COULD* it be, that in such case, people *might* tend to look that the dev team for *potential* being the ones responsible? Simply, for *introducing* it into Iceland?
Has the dev team *thought* of that? Cuz I can't read anything anywhere back regarding such. I can find enough things like 'we can do better, yeah we can do better, fiat sucks, Auroracoin is better, better than the current system, the current system sucks, etc'.
But what I can't find back, anywhere, is where somebody steps up with a mild display of responsibility *if* things would go sour. Which, they can. Because, this is crypto! Highly volatile!!!
So I'll simplify the question:
Has the dev team, *considered* they *could* be responsible, for plummeting 330k people, *again* into a *potential* financial roller coaster?
Where's the ethics?
You also aren't getting my point: there is no risk-free financial system. What we are offering is designed to reduce some of the risks associated with the current system. We also are not forcing anyone to join us in this experiment - it is purely voluntary. That is a positive in terms of ethics. The scenario you are imagining, where 330k people are plummeted into a financial crisis, would require Auroracoin to have a market capitalization in the billions of US $. What kind of whale could manipulate that system? Why isn't this whale currently causing stock prices for hundreds of companies on the Nasdaq to vary by 75%? Additionally, if someone were to manipulate the price to the point that we're discussing here, what is there for us to do? Manipulate the price in the other direction? That's not for us to control. It's up to the people. The beauty of crypto is that it's in the hands of the people, and it's controlled by them... not the government. We're not dictating the value. We're not really dictating anything other than the fact that we're here to work towards an alternative to government controlled finance, which has more day to day "legal" manipulation than I think you will ever see in the future of AUR. I'm sure you're going to see attempts at manipulating the price. Hell, I almost guarantee it once AUR breaks $1. It will be like the wild west, but eventually the majority of people will dictate what the price is, and that single person or rogue PND group won't be able to compete with that. Just my two cents. -Fuse |

Don't most coins have absolutely no purpose right now? I think this one at least has age going for it and a bit of nostalgia since I'm sure like me, many that started mining back in 2013-14 mined this coin for a while.
I'm still trying to see if I can recover my coins from bter, been processing for weeks and nothing
I don't know, I would say that the coins coming out now are trying to define themselves with true purpose. KDC came out in a time when everyone was trying to be the king of their own altcoin and make a quick buck. The purpose on a lot of those coins was to tie themselves to some kind of name. Take things like tittiecoin and dogecoin for instance. Doge found huge support, and through it, purpose. As did some of the others. That being said, though, look at the coins that came out around the same time as KDC. If age was a bonus, these other coins would all have the same advantage, wouldn't they? For me, KDC had a clear purpose when it was accepted for precious metals for that brief period. That's a huge draw for a lot of independent finance types in the crypto world. If that was a possibility again, I would say KDC would probably find its way back into the realm of usefulness. -Fuse |

Listen... I've always been interested in this project. That being said, if there was a purpose for this, then I'd be willing to spend a little time on this again. But we need to be realists. There are so many coins out there that are doing now what KDC did when it peaked. Without a purpose, this is just another coin lost in time. Find a purpose, and we'll come up with a plan. Hell, maybe I can dig up my original plans for the revamp, and we can take another look at it.

who is Fuse?
He is/was the most recent developer for KDC. I never released any of the work I did for KDC. I had updated the client to a new codebase, and I had written out development plan. However, when I polled the community about who was going to get involved and help decide on changes and work on promotion and adoption, it went pretty quiet. There was like 3 of us total, myself included. At that point, there wasn't really a big demand, so I left it. The chain was moving and that's all that really mattered at the time. We could write code for days getting this thing updated, but we'd still just have another coin with no real use. If there was a push to use this for more than trading, I might be willing to rethink involvement with KDC. -Fuse |

The nodes you listed are probably live, I'm not arguing that. The criptoe.com node is not live though. That was mine, and it hasn't been live for like 8+ months now. That's all I was saying.
-Fuse

No, the node was not live anymore.
I'm sure there are people still mining and collecting KDC. It's alive, but only for the sake of keeping it alive right now.

addnode=criptoe.com
That's not live anymore.  -Fuse Any updates? Or should I give up on trying to get us on an exchange? I stepped away from KDC a while ago. I was all about working on it, but there was no use or community. I honestly think at this point, there isn't a reason to push this any further unless someone has some crazy adoption plan in the works that they haven't told the community about. There was just no community input or backing at the time. People just seemed like they wanted it to be developed further to either pump or dump, or both. KDC was great when it was in it's hay day, but I think we're looking at the twilight years now. -Fuse |

Hi, What is the next big thing coming up after the bus campaing? Just looking forwards to the next surprise  The primary focus for the team right now is merchant tools. We're building them from scratch to align with our standards, so it's taking some time. However, that is the biggest goal for us at this time because it will allow us to really push adoption with merchants and possible partners. -Fuse |

We have been testing with the GPU friendly ALGO's and they still seem to have some irregularities, we therefor advise to only use http://aurpool.com:8080 for Scrypt and SHA256. It's rejecting the scrypt blocks as well. SHA256 is the only confirmed working algo right now on the :8080 pool. -Fuse |
|
|

Regarding http://aurpool.com, for which algo is the pool intended? I cannot find such info on the site itself... I believe aurpool.com will be shutting down soonish people should switch to aurpool.com:8080 Or any of the other pools  Stick to the other pools for the moment. We've got some work to do on the pool still to get all the algos working. -Fuse |

I am talking about this kind of time-lapse, where is it? we can not say things and then don't do it, I say I would like the success of this project but not with this attitude of saying and not doing it. You need to be more careful before saying anything as it will not make you good. Whats the poing to make that bus campaign if you can not recorded as promised? Look I stop here. Please do what you speak that's all
See... this is the problem with people like you, Porte. People want to know what we're thinking about or planning, but then shit on us when we don't do something that we mention as a possible side project. But then we don't mention what we're doing and people think we're doing squat. Regardless, you obviously missed the point of the bus campaign if you think it was just to make a video. We said we were looking at making a video as an added project to show the community here. It wasn't the reason for the campaign. We don't need it for the bus campaign's purpose to be fulfilled... that was already done. It raised awareness of AUR in Iceland, and it continues to raise awareness through the media coverage it received. Again, are you more concerned with a hype video that will be seen once and forgotten, or can we continue to work on the things that are going to drive adoption? Soltantgris has already asked if anyone would like to work on the video. Instead of being a constant downer about a video that has no impact on the success of the coin's adoption, why don't you do it? After all, you're the one who's so adamant about it being done. You probably would hate anything we put together at this point anyway, so who better to do it than you? If you're so concerned about things getting done... volunteer your time to help. If you can't do it, find someone to help... be a productive member of this community. Either way, stop shitting on us over a video that doesn't mean anything to the long term success of this coin. -Fuse |

$ 0.195222 (-21.58 %) as the previous post this is because of the media blackout. Its so basic! You do a big campaign and you don't record it! It's a joke
Your posts are a joke. You're so fixated on a video of a advertisement campaign that got substantial in-country media coverage. I'm sorry you can't see beyond the nose on your face, but we've got other things to work on that are much more important than the video for you to watch once and forget. -Fuse |

you are more carefully expressing all and I appreciate LTEX but as you said ''chosen an expensive local campaign in Iceland'' That was an expensive campaign and was unable to make people here to see that, yes we don't live in Iceland that's why should have the resources to do that video and not asking anyone to do that video now, I don't get it. I appreciate you are genuine nice people but this is not right sorry
FFS, Porte. It's a video. What is so important about that? You saw pictures, tweets, news articles, etc. Would you rather we put the money and effort into making a video to appease BCT followers, or put the money and effort into the systems that we are focussing all of our time and personal money into that will drive adoption? We have priorities... the video was discussed, but it was not at the top of that list. What do you want... our focus on a video or the systems that will drive adoption? I just want to know what's more important to you. -Fuse |

How come sha256 has several terrahasshing power and script has much less but still earns equal coins per block?
This is how multi-algo works. Each algo has a separate difficulty, so when the difficulty evens out and stabilizes, it won't matter whether you have 20 petahash in sha256, or 10 megahash in qubit... you'll have an equal chance at finding a block at your algo's difficulty. Give it a day or so to even out, and you'll see much more even distribution of algo blocks. We still don't have a ton of people mining on the CPU/GPU algos, so you'll see an increase there as well. -Fuse Then can you calculate an avaerage difficulty? Again, there is a difficulty for each algo. There is no overall average. Just run the getinfo debug command and it will show you each difficulty. -Fuse |

sha256 and skein mining on aurpool.com seems okay. Don't seem to get a share count on qubit, and get low difficulty share rejects on myr-gr. When do payouts occur? Where can I see my balance?
The pool is rejecting blocks for some reason. I will be shutting down the other algos until I can resolve the issue. Not exactly what you want to wake up to first thing in the morning.  -Fuse |
