Did the same... 90k NLG bought back. Started with about 10k NLG 1.5 year ago.

Sure it can... but not anytime soon. But on the other hand... NLG can't drop below 1 satoshi. It will also be more and more difficult for increasing BTC to influence the NLG price to drop (becoming too expensive to dump). The EUR price becomes more important then.

Gulden, dedicated devs, dedicated community, own exchange with Euro pairing, stable price around 0.10 euro cent for past few months and lots of merchant acceptance recently... despite all of this still relative cheap.

^This... and too much focus on unbacked, 100% pre-mined promises (read: ICOs) instead of helping actual proven coins getting into mainstream.

Just a quick update regarding the electrum-aur wallet. I managed to get the Kimoto Gravity Well difficulty algorithm working today, which is now in my github repo. The first few thousand KGW blocks passed all checks, but I have not tested all of them yet. Next step is getting the MULTI difficulty algorithm ported, hope to finish that in two to three weeks.

This was the original plan for Bitcoin (I was there at that time, check my account), which has failed it (there is some acceptance, but mostly used as "investment" vehicle with politics). NLG is a good contestant to become just that what BTC should have been. The fact that many things are done in silence is that you don't want to give false hope if things don't succeed. For every good news we hear there could just as well have been 4 projects that failed. This is not only for NLG, other coins have the same.

Price stability is good for mainstream adoption and IMHO the EUR exchanges will help with that. I know a "small scale" community (~50 people) that has switched to crypto for most everyday payments, as soon as the coin they are using went up in price people started to keep the coins instead of paying with them. Took about 3 - 4 weeks after the price increase before people "accepted" the new price and started spending them again.

As for all these coins/ICO's that go up in price due to hype, their community is as dedicated until the next hype coin emerges. Gulden has at least a dedicated community and a coin needs it to have any relevance (if there are no users... what's the point of a coin?).

Why haven't you setup your own coin for SA yet? And what is in it for the VCs? I envy your motivation, but you could do so much more within your own SA coin.

No idea, less profitable than other coins?

Lots of young people paying with Gulden yesterday? evening in Rotterdam:

I'm working on electrum-aur in my own repo: https://github.com/BioMike/electrum-aur
Do note that it uses my python bindings for Groestl, Skein and Qubit (and Scrypt also maybe, not sure about that) PoW algos. Especially the Groestl bindings have a different API and the latest release of that package is broken (use the git clone if you need it).

Code-wise it connects to the electrum1 server and should receive and send AUR (I have not tested this yet!!!). Last week I restored part of the block validation code, including the original diff calculation algo, so it is able to validate headers until block 5400. KGW and Multi is something that I hope to start next weeks on.

After that I plan to change everything to Python3 and Qt5 (GUI redesign that I also plan to use for the core wallet (which has to be translated into C++ of course)). When that's done I'll have to look at the Pywallet code that it uses (replace by my own version) and maybe switch the electrum connecting code for the connectrum library (which makes it require Python3.5)... but that last part is still far away.

Development-wise things are going ok. Network runs fine. I'm currently busy fixing Digibyte's electrum wallet and converting it to Auroracoin.
As for Icelandic adoption, there are a few things in the process there. The Auroracoin foundation will at least have a booth at the Icelandic IT exhibition (https://utmessan.is/).

Aaaannnd.... there goes the coalition. New elections coming up? Or are they going to try to make new coalitions?

This method didn't work? (I assumed it did, so we stopped investigating it further). What did you do and where did you get stuck.

How was the paper wallet generated?

*Ugh* E-gulden *Ugh*

;-)

Most devs have a day time job and a private life. Funding is mostly done from private means, although there is the pre-mine, which is mostly untouched.
Acceptance is promoted through meetings and contact (one devs visited the TEDx event in Reykjavik last week to improve contacts with some of the speakers there (there has been contact with those speakers before)).

Personally, I'm rounding off things from an old job (finishing my PhD thesis) part time and use the other time to work on Auroracoin, roughly 15-20 hours a week currently. I make my income through trading.

Also, regarding Project P a demonstration of our prototype was shown last week (to show that Auroracoin works in their idea) and contact is being made now with a company to see if they would be able to implement it into their products.

That's an error from my side. I already assumed they were already accepting, but it seems they are still in the process on deciding which products they want to start with and getting connected.

Whatever the reason is, it's clear that the wall moved back (after the price pumped a bit). No need to sell onto that wall anyway,
if it moves, it can move up.

I didn't see at what time it moved back, but if it moved when people started dumping into it, my guess is that it is for a PnD scheme
(or something similar).

Where did wallzilla came from? That's a 160000 USD buy order there.

I wonder how much pre-mine is involved...

At least the market should be able to handle that amount.
