we found a block

reducing hashrate...

EDIT: turns out it was me who found the block and the next one, too.

difficulty back to 89

BTC ~0.02 well invested, I would say ;-)

EDIT2: oh wow, and due to the lower difficulty the pool I mine in (hamsterpool) hops on the coin with 2GH/s (it didn't mine the coin before, I was the only one mining it)

Thank you!

Looks like difficulty is climbing again. Your troops may have to be redeployed.

doesn't look good from my node.

stuck since 24 hours at block 105700

any ideas?

Guess we need some benevolent miner to throw some hashing at it.

This coin needs to be fixed, stat.

Is aurora coin really dead ? I have a few of them.. Doesn't have a lot of value. Should I get rid of it ?

Here's some of what has happened in the last few months:

Already done:
Chrome wallet: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bitbrowser-auroracoin-wal/odcmcehfddfnnnbaifjhkikddagchieg?hl=en-GB
New forum: http://auroraspjall.is/
Q&A site with Auroracoin bounties: https://www.spurt.is/
Insight API ported to Auroracoin: http://insight.auroracoin.io/
Twitter tipbot: http://auroratip.auroracoin.io/#/

Under development:
Auroracoin foundation in Iceland
Skiptum.is localbitcoins-style exchange
tipbot for bland.is and phpBB forum software
Icelandic krona to Auroracoin exchange

So to answer your question, not dead yet.

The Twitter tipbot is now live: http://auroratip.auroracoin.io/#/.

Test it out with some small amounts of Auroracoin and let me know what you think on the support forum.

is there any aur working faucet?

Yes. You can get 636 AUR. You must be from iceland, though.

And for those who don't line in iceland?

There's this promotion at spurt.is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446062.msg10482171#msg10482171

not sure how easy it would be to use as drop-in replacement. But when we need to hard-fork anyway to burn the premine, it could maybe be done in one swoop. Or go merge-mining? Thoughts?

Good grief. KGW was to fix one problem and just opens up another.

I say we merge-mine with BTC and be done with this issue.

The earth is spinning with 1675 km/h but the auroracoin virtual block chain is stand and still for 10hours already.
What can we do? I burned my spared voodoo puppet, long time ago. No prayers, no magic left around?

Here is the offending block: http://insight.auroracoin.io/block/24e5e48704d70dde5ebae52a31a5430f1fcad726d4680bb723fddb3c70215160

Can anyone explain what is going on when we have a situation like this?

Nice to see a small uptick in claims:

INCOMING AND OUTGOING:
Monthly trading fees: $30,000
Monthly expenses: Huh

Yep, they're definitely making minimal profit... Roll Eyes

If they're only taking in $30k a month in fees than I would think they are not even making minimal profit.

They probably have a dozen employees. If they pay them an average of $2,500/month ($30,000/year) then they're at breakeven on wages alone, never mind rent, utilities etc.

And they're in Calgary, so they're probably paying more than $2,500/month.

They would need to raise their fees or increase their trade volume just to survive. Makes more sense to buy bitcoin and sit around waiting for the price to go up.

This was a pump and dump.
You guys are beating a dead horse.

Even if it was a pnd, and I'm not saying it was, that doesn't mean it must die.

Because of auroracoin Iceland probably has a higher level of public awareness of cryptocurrency than any other nation. Sure it isn't all positive, but a lot of work was done just by the huge amount of free publicity that happened.

There is something to build on there. Maybe.

I don't understand... why are there so many 12.5 AUR transactions in a single block?

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/aur/block.dws?99216.htm

Shouldn't there only be 1 per block?

I'm no expert, but looks like difficulty got driven way high somehow and now noone's mining any more (no block since 6 hours)? some kind of attack?

.. or someone want more cheap coins, because stock depth is low and price can rise up x 10 anytime. Last stage airdrop and burn other coins soon?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the coins at these prices rather than throw all that hashing at it?

Even more so than the pre-mine, I feel this is the greatest threat to Auroracoin going forward.

I propose we merge-mine with bitcoin and be done with this problem.

What other possible solutions are there?

Hash rate went up 10x! What's going on?

Please update the pool list. thx

The OP is no longer around.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I haven't found any other threads on BTCT that discuss this topic.

Did this forum tipbot ever get expanded to use other forums?

Does anyone know how this one works behind-the-scenes? Did it require the installation of a plugin by the forum Admin, or does it operate completely independently of BTCT?

API in place for Auroracoin

http://insight.auroracoin.io

I'm looking for someone to translate the Spanish parts of this file into Icelandic: https://github.com/bitpay/insight/blob/master/po/es.po

Name your price in AUR.

Any takers?

Is there a web front end for registering a name? I see oneid.io allows you to view, but not register.
