I heard some people talk about a windows installer for the BTE wallet. I had it made by Shakezula (one of the first devs of BTE) in 2013.
Maybe Cschelswell still has it? I'm sure it's somewhere on an older PC I have. If there is interest, I will try and find it.

It has been a number of months now since the first shipment of tablets for the POS systems for Icelandic merchants hit a snag.
A new shipment was on its way but we haven't heard anything. Even by freight, it should have arrived by now no?
Thanks

Hi Team,
Any news on the POS tablets, when will you be able to start distributing them to merchants in Iceland?
Thanks.

Sigh.
So when will the POS (point of sale) system be completed roughly?

I have posted some ideas a week and a half or so regarding the adoption in Iceland. Unfortunately there seems to be more interest in venting frustrations than anything else. I will simply try again hoping to get some feedback. If there are frustrations, then the best way to get rid of them is to grab the bull by the bollocks and make shit happen:
We're currently working on a merchant only version of the Android app, and some merchant friendly tweaks need to be made to that. We've purchased tablets to provide to merchants as an AUR POS system, and we're testing that out and getting documentation ready for a push to get more merchants onboard. A lot of the efforts right now are grass roots word of mouth by team members in Iceland. The blockchain is functioning properly right now, and for the most part the price has been relatively stable, so technical developments are on the back burner in favor of code cleanup and maintenance.
Getting the word out to merchants should be one of the top priorities in my opinion. Being able to use it as a viable medium of exchange and having merchants passively promoting it is a great way to getting the word out to the population of Iceland.
As soon as the POS system is ready I would happily volunteer to fly over to Iceland and talk to the merchants personally. Being a bit rusty on speaking Icelandic though but heard that most people speak English.
I think a hands on approach would be the way to get the fastest results.
Also something that might be a great way to get the Icelandic population engaged is to load up a paper wallet with let's say 5K-10K AUR, cutting up the private key into 10 snippets and distributing them in Reykjavik.
That way it would be a quest to gather the snippets via puzzles and/or hints. The first to correctly solve the puzzles/hints along the way gets the prize.
I am sure the reward would be substantial enough to get media mentions via radio, news websites and newspapers. Also it would engage the population as the reward would be substantial.
Also would be happy to donate to it and contribute to a challenging enough quest.
In my opinion, Auroracoin has a great future ahead, but must be adopted as soon and as widely in Iceland as possible.
Keep up the good work!

On behalf of all the South Africans that own auroracoin (or the dozen that i know) i want to say thank you to the developmnent team for bringing us this far. The android app is great and the exchange is a miracle. Your work is done in my opinion, Auroracoin has everything it needs to succeed.
Adoption in iceland is visible however slow. more importantly Auroracoin is attracting foreign direct investment and this continuing trend is going to keep building incentive for Icelanders to buy. The more Icelanders buy, the more foreigners do to and so a positive feed back loop is continuously fueling auroracoin to inevitable adoption.
Eventually, with the assumption that Auroracoin gets adopted as Icelands national currency, people around the world will be inspired by the miracle that is Auroracoin and start buying it as a symbol of the revolution.
Thats what auroracoin is to me. A symbol of the revolution against financial oppression. Better than bitcoin because of its feed back loop with iceland.
I agree! This coin has lots of potential, however adoption is key. To get adoption going people need to get familiar with Auroracoin. I have given a suggestion how to get exposure, and will think of a couple more ways to increase awareness. And I'd be happy to donate and contribute to such projects. Let's get this thing going people! |

Hi there,
I am looking for an experienced dev/devs who can make a scrypt-jane Pow+POS based altcoin with a number of specific non-standard modifications. Please only respond if you are truly experienced, since it would be a shame to waste our time.
To give a crude idea of what I want:
Scrypt-jane (or other ASIC resistant alg. like whirlpool etc).
PoW/PoS
Custom PoW curve
Mandatory Transaction fees
Custom functions in Qt
PoS is variable through concensus
If you are up to it, please give me a PM, so we can talk shop.
Thnx,
Oblivion

I also like the second one. It's a perfect fit for our theme.
Also don't forget the one in your previous post that has the dark stones in the water. That one to me is the coolest.
Thanks!  |

Really intrigued by this coin and some of the ideas around it. I'd love to get involved. I'm a graphic designer but also have experience with web development and social media. I designed, coded and built Project-Grey.com. More recently I've handled designed work for the Australian BTC exchange CoinJar.com. What I think would be great for Philosopher Stones is some solid branding. It's an awesome idea and I can build a really strong image for it. Once we've got that I can setup a Facebook, a twitter for updates, a sub-reddit for organized community discussion. Here's a few ideas I had in my head:  Keep up the awesome work! I like these! The second one is referring to an alchemy book that is related to Newton if I'm correct? |

Great to see people getting involved creating logo's etc  Really Nice. As for PoS with locked wallet, I think this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnLvE_Vnojc tutorial (for PPcoin) is similar. Should work fine, have not tried myself though. Just to be safe: Back up wallet before trying this out! If it does not work, let me know so I can delete this post. |

Oh well.. I understand people being frustrated. And true.. promises were made and products were only delivered way too late.
