Can Auroracoin become Iceland's biggest source of revenue?

Aurora coin is a precious commodity found deep in the heart of Iceland's volcanoes. This heat rises to the surface and is used as geothermal energy to warm homes and power electric generators on the island. This electricity then gets used up by thousands upon thousands of computer processes dedicated solely to a task known as "mining" in the crypto currency world. The government can invest in its own mining of aurora coin in Iceland and be in a brilliant position where the low price of power can give them a discount.

The old foundation trick, same as Asiacoin setup after scamming the community twice. Most scamcoins that had a premine resorted to a foundation to try legitimize the coin.

Just for the record I don't support country coins even though guldencoin is one of the few honest altcoins, I just don't see the point in them. Virtual currencies are meant to be global

Can someone, please, confirm that DEM german forum is stating about various actions towards public entities (mainstream media, public relationships, etc.) ?

Thank you

So to clear up some confusion here

For starters. The swap occurred in November. Cryptsy was not contacted in any way until February. The devs had 0 communication with the american community and basically left us hanging with no option to perform the swap or even be notified to stop trading. Which you can tell by the fact that this thread wasnt updated until devin stepped in. If it wasnt for Devin, a member of the community who was able to reach out to the developers and get a line of communication going we would never have got any resolution. To add to that a swap that could have taken 1 hour was stretched out over a 2 weeks period due to a communication barrier and the fact that the YBC devs initially would not allow an escrow. That was unacceptable to us. We cannot send out customers funds and hope to get new coins in exchange. It took about a week to come to the resolution that they would send YBCoin in exchange for the YBCoins we had at the day of the swap.

Cryptsy is not insolvent. Devin or the YBShares developers if they decide to chime in can show that our YBShares have not been moved since the exchange was completed.

YBC is still YBC. Its a valid functioning, moving blockchain. YBCoin will continue trading and you can freely withdrawal your YBC to the YBC blockchain after we complete the swap

YBShares are completely separate. If you owned YBC at the date of the swap on cryptsy. You will receive your ybshares.

In short the YBC developers left us hanging dry on YBShares. If it wasnt for YBCDevin the one who reached out and opened the communication between us 4 months after the swap, then we would have had no choice but to delist the currency

It takes a lot of work to go back in time to perform a swap. Which is why Crytpsy usually doesnt support them unless the developers have a clear easy to work with plan. Which the YBC developers clearly did not. This entire situation would never had happened if they had done the swap on the public ledger rather than in private.

Both markets will be opening in a few days. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Yeah, you'll need to bounce a small transaction around to get the next block found.

I know nothing about extra nodes though.

Hi Rw13enlib88. You're welcome to be here and I trust you've appreciated the number of people who are civil and engaging with your questions. However, as the discussion goes from a few posts to a few pages (so far), the argument of not having time to read back through the thread becomes weaker. There's a bit to read here, but in the past pages you'll find:
- discussions about various exchanges and community participation to help increase volume and adoption;
- the aforementioned push for Chinese translation (thanks to Gekko 463) - work in progress;
- numerous businesses around the world (including my own) accepting UNO and participating in the community push for adoption and investment;
- an entirely UNO-driven spin-off organisation with its own in-house, P2P trading mechanism (see CryptoGuild);
- week-long community outreach to the communities of Reddit and Cryptocointalk;
- development of the 0.10 wallets by 8bitcoder, Pnoch and the devs;
- Cryptapus' various games and paper & vanity wallets;
- BigTimeSpaghetti's own UNO-stamped, serialized silver bullion for sale;
- development of various price tickers and web trackers, blockchain explorers, paper wallets, etc.;
- significant and lengthy community collaboration on the If, How and When of merged mining and auth pow (completed successfully, albeit with a wallet hiccup that was addressed);
- significant and ongoing discussion of how best to foster and reward pool miners and to ensure miners are properly rewarded (including paying 'above spot' for mined UNO, prior to the MM implementation);
- working with Coax for UNO/bullion purchases and with Coinpayments.net for UNO payments via their gateway;
- ongoing art, media, articles, videos and blogs on and about UNO and its development and use;
- a level of community participation and sharing of experience, knowledge and trading skill in an open forum at a level that is downright rare in almost any other cryptocurrency (or even in dinosaur money forums - people simply don't commonly share trading knowledge and skilled market observations as freely elsewhere);
- an attentive and supportive community who assists and listens to people who are struggling with problems;
- all of the above (and probably more I've fogotten) has been consistently and thoroughly performed since we started talking about UNO in March 2014. More than a year ago! That's ages in crypto-time - and we're still going!

Your quoted comment above makes me wonder whether you've read the first post in this thread - FallingKnife has kept this pretty thoroughly updated over the past 20 months, it's worth a look. Please, continue asking questions as it does bring out quality answers and helps generate current discussion, but do consider how your questions may sound in the face of such a thoroughly documented and active thread. I don't think you're trolling, but it's not a stretch to see why others may.

(I'll acknowledge you have a point regarding marketing plan - something the NOTE folks are doing quite well actually). I'll also add here that it doesn't hurt to have our fundamentals questioned from time to time - if they can't be clearly defined and satisfactorily answered, then maybe we're all missing something and are wasting our time here!. Cheers.

Ninja edit: Gekko, I'm reluctantly onboard with Daniel. He looks to be our best bet right now. Thanks for your work on this.

If ya read back like 4 pages there is a pretty big push to get a lot of this out to the Chinese markets. Translations and promotions and such.

It might be more like 8 pages back, i cannot be sure now that i have looked 4 pages back and it wasn't there. There has been a rather large collection taken up for the goal though.

Do you have any new nodes?

We can seem to get it past "blocks" : 741059


Thanks

@Rw13enlib88 Thanks for your interest. This chart is one that I think a lot of people would be interested in -- especially long-term investors / speculators like myself.
