Last one hasn't been solved yet... Weird.

Not that wierd that it hasn't been solved. This one is boggling my mind! It's some sort of reciever or transmitter... But apparently it isn't that, lol.

They have no internet, no computers, no phones, no nothing... Bitcoin will take a long time to reach them, so no, not a viable option so far Smiley

Seems like a pretty good concept Smiley Makes it really easy for people to convert their bitcoins!

I wonder if this can come to Europe...

I've noticed many of the usernames posting these types of messages were created on December 7, 2014. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe has something to do with Pearl Harbour.

So... does that mean someone wants to bomb Auroracoin? Grin haha

Well... Although I'm still fan of the theory that "says" that you never have a lot, independently of the coins you have, this was still a nice read. There were some concepts I didn't realize that they even existed, such as Gini.

I think you do have a valid point, or at least something going on here... Smiley

NewLiberty, what kind of dice do you have there? How does it differ from normal dices/coin toss?

These are 16 sided hexidecimal dice.
Despite Anditoshi's sage advice on much of the fluff around this method, using dice or coins is not significantly reduce or increaes the entropy of key generation.
It just isn't code+machine doing it.  Ultimately you are going to have to trust some device to use your bitcoin, but doing it by hand for novelty's sake is fun for some.

Thank you for the clarification! And I'm also curious how much are those, if you're still selling Smiley

It would certainly be a great help if baldur would communicate with us. Things could move forward at a faster clip if he would. However we are persevering.

unamis76 I'd encourage you to join us at the new forum, we can use any help you can give: http://auroraspjall.is/


Bookmarked Wink I'll keep an eye around here and on your forum. Although I'm a bit skeptic, I'm still curious of what will come out of this coin. If you guys decide to hard fork this, you'll have to work big time to stay away from the burden attached to this coin Smiley Pretty hard to give a good image to a coin that's been polluted by bad things. But it's not an impossible feat to achieve!
3549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland on: February 05, 2015, 06:02:05 PM

I highly doubt that after March this coin will move again. Baldur doesn't seem to be around for quite some time, so don't count on premine burning.

The exchange would be immensely useful. With some careful planning this coin could be reinvented and target Icelanders, not just crypto enthusiasts and "pump & dumpers".

It might be possible to "reinvent" the coin and give it to Icelanders, but it will still be very difficult for the crypto community to accept it after what happened Smiley

Baldur has been incommunicado, but he is still around.
He took the forum down when he was informed it had been hacked, and the airdrop numbers at auroracoin.org keep going up.

If he doesn't burn the premine as promised, my guess is the newly forming Auroracoin foundation will do a hard fork and burn it for him.

Thank you for the clarification. I only read this thread from time to time, and I had the idea he was AWOL. The fact that he doesn't login here since last May made me think he was nowhere to be seen.

If he is still around, then this is all extremely odd, why doesn't he pronounce himself regarding the supposed premine laundering? Either he is guilty of doing something bad, or he can easily explain what's happening.

As for a foundation making a hard fork... I think it is the best way to go, and I was hoping for a hard fork in this coin for quite some time. Things got a bit out of hand, and as I said, if someone wants to reinvent this coin for Icelanders, it really needs such refresh (hard fork without premine)

No, since it is only a few cents, i dont think one is needed.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577765.0

I think this thread says it all Smiley

Any collateral?
3552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland on: February 05, 2015, 03:23:24 PM
Pretty curious that this coin is already one year old, and people still talk about it. Lots of profit was made here... And this coin had immense potential, but everything got ruined. It was a great experiment, that didn't work as expected (or did it?).

Whenever I see this thread, I wonder what will the next alt-coin experiment/sensation will be... Smiley

As expected the price declined to almost nothing after the airdrop started and most of the excitement diminished. I think after 25th of march 2015, the final day of the airdrop, we might see something start to happen with the coin again. Given that Baldur will burn the remaining premine coins and hopefully will comment on the airdrop and clear up some of the questions the crypto community has about it.

There is an exchange coming up that will trade ISK-AUR, which is the most needed infrastructure now. In Iceland there are currency controls, which prohibits people here from buy USD then BTC to be able to buy AUR. The exchange will cut through the currency controls and for the first time the people of Iceland will be able buy and sell their AUR for ISK on an open market.

Other great infrastructure for the coin that have launched are the Android wallet and now most recently a chrome-browser wallet. If there are other projects out there let me know.

After the exchange is up the coin will have to get press coverage, where the benefits of using cryptocurrency is explained. In Iceland this should be easy, the ISK has made half of the population lose all their belongings every 10-20 years through hyperinflation. Explain how cryptocurrencies can't be printed or borrowed into existence and how money printing (expansion of the monetary base)  is the main cause of inflation, but for cryptocurrencies the money creation is controlled and limited. How governments can't install currency controls on a cryptocurrency and that a central bank, credit card companies and in some cases banks is not needed.

The biggest challenge is to get people to use it and it will not happen if each AUR is worth 1 kr., then the initial 31.8 AUR or the 318 AUR or even the 636 AUR from the airdrops will not buy anything. Who will take the risk and buy the coin up and give it value, lots of people got burnt when the airdrop started. Hopefully after the airdrop and the launch of the ISK-AUR exchange, someone will start to buy it up to give it value, so that this experiment can continue. If this buying starts while the airdrop is still open my feeling is that more teenagers will claim the coin and sell it for BTC-USD-ISK.

If all this goes through then the "immense potential" of the coin is still there. The worst and the best thing that happen to the coin was the high value it had when it launched. The high price gave it attention in the press and 10% of Icelanders claimed the coin, which is great. The drop in price was also the reason why the attention faded and no newspaper in Iceland talked about it again.


I highly doubt that after March this coin will move again. Baldur doesn't seem to be around for quite some time, so don't count on premine burning.

FINALLY GOT MY PACKAGE.

DO NOT PLACE ORDERS WITH ZEHASH.  IT IS OFFICIALLY A SCAM.

Gotta run, will return later to elaborate.  Just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know.

Well, this was really predictable. But now I'm really curious with what the hell was in that package! Grin

Good news, keep it up Smiley

I don't like their idea to mix leaked Hollywood movies with confidential government secrets. They should choose what kind of users they're looking for.

I think they're looking for a business, not users. They're also looking to make the biggest impact possible Wink
