AURORACOIN - Empowering Financial Freedom

[apcoins]

Nice to see that Aurora revived some how, obviously burning premine was a significant act.
Are there still plans to change algo to SHA256?


BTW, I lost few thousands AUR on mintpal exchange. Just read news that some people started sending back alt funds ie DarkCoin, Karma, Monero.

Did anyone contacted with Aurora Foundation regarding this matter?

May offer some reward for recovering my coins.

Hi
We contacted mintpal but unfortunately the funds from mintpal V1 had been transferred to mintpal V2. I was on the Fluttercoin team that sent back funds and we did that by getting the funds and DB from previous mintpal owners (V1).

Anyone knows how much Aur still in Mintpal wallets?    500k ?

the plan is to lobby government to adopt auroracoin, this is an obvious target for the foundation

Not a chance. What government would want the accountability and responsibility that goes with operating in a non-inflating currency environment?

A government with the pirate party in power, elections are next year, does the foundation have a plan for lobbying the pirate party to endorse auroracoin?

Elections are 2017, there are no plans for lobbying . Our mission is educate, advertise and get a dialog/adoption going within the nation. Again why are you using this profile username?

Personally, I think Auroracoin should stay out of politics. Parties accepting it is fine though.

I agree. Crypto is aubout decentralization and "power to the people". Government is about centralization.

The Auroracoin Foundation people are doing the right things imo.

The day icelandic gouvernement start worrying about AUR will be a great day. Any gouvernement worrying about blackcoin, potcoin or Zizicoin ? Governement worry about bitcoin because it reached a lot of people, is used and is growing fast. So when icelandic politics start talking about AUR, it would have been already a huge success - and i guess that marketcap would be on a complete different order. We have to consider that we need a multi-million marketcap to take care of 1% of icelandic trades.

[LTEX]

The primary target for the foundation and the dev team is to slowly but steady build the base for Auroracoin. For now this means we have to work on the technical aspects of the blockchain and to build tools for easy integration in the every day lives of the Icelandic people. This includes wallets for any device (including IOS, android and Windows) but also tools that enable merchants to effortlessly integrate AUR in their stores and websites that are focused on the people and the usage, not the technical or political aspects.

Once we accomplish that we can start to work on awareness with the Icelandic people and their merchants. If in this process we can get any political party to endorse our goals that would obviously be a great step, but not something we are actively going to pursue. I personally believe we can expect this to happen, once we reach critical mass. That can be sooner than you think (as long as you don't think it will be this year  )

Why do we antogonise the government of Iceland, do they deserve it?

Can the government decentralise through the pirate party?

This is one of my favourite image I have friends relatives and colegues with this name so as I choose them I think to choose Aurora virtual coin too also. ..

Nobody ''antagonise'' government. I propose you re-read LTEX post - was pretty clear about it. Target is iceland population/merchands. When enought people will use AUR, then government may want to seek people's vote by embracing this new tech (as we see at some level for exemple in USA). If a lot of persons enjoy trading goods with AUR - politic party may be nervous to game it and/or act against it. ''Build the field, they will come'', or something aloug that.

Will price go back over 30k sat this week?

[soltantgris]

Will price go back over 30k sat this week?

AUR marketcap need to reach into several millions to be in position to conduct 1-2% of annual icelandic trades. 1-2$ of purchasing power per unit. Will see how things progress (and i will help as much as i can) - and price will take care of itself. 

For my part, i've been pilling AUR for a while now - and will only spend some when there will be stuff to buy with it !   (I keep hoping to visit some of icelandic Aur team next year and pay as much as possible with AUR!). 

Wednesday, price will hit 35-40k.

[soltantgris]

Or not.

A brief status update:

Code for the new wallets is more or less finished. Except for a character encoding problem with the version name. Some styling work also needs to be done.

The porting of Breadwallet for Auroracoin is also coming along nicely. Testing is underway and some graphics work being done there too.

Help wanted:

-QT code styling
-OSX compiling

If you can assist in either of these areas PM me.

[TheSignsGuy]

I believe that it is important to make sure the wallets are as reasonably nice as can be, even it it incurs additional waiting time.

It feels like AuroraCoin is getting it's second wind, and an awesome looking and functioning wallet would be great to go with that.

Wish I could help, but do not have those skills.

It may be too late to share input, but here is my "Christmas list" of what would be good to see in a wallet:

The ability to change "skins", link to discussion sites, notification bar for example when updates are needed, a comma separating coin amounts, paper wallet capabilities using our own images.

The people of Iceland know what is best though for their coin and hopefully the wallet will focus on their desires foremost.

Thanks for reading.

Rather keep posts like this off the ANN, for a coin that is meant to be almost half a million in marketcap should not be asking this questions. I can understand a coin that is $20k in marketcap needing help. This is why the price has fallen overnight.

Relax Danslip,

We are not Apple asking if anyone knows something about timepieces a week before the launch of iWatch, we are a group of dedicated and highly skilled developers trying to produce a solid base for general acceptance of AUR.

Bimmers question is not about anyone knowing how to compile an OSX wallet, we know that ourselves. His question is about someone who may know just a little more than us, so we can clear certain errors that have been in those wallets for years now (even still with BTC). As said many times before, we rather do this slow, but secure...

Remember, crypto is about community doing team efforts. This is not something a group of dedicated people calling themselves a DEV-team has to do on their own, we can and must ask for help from the community if that benefits the end result....

Don't tell me to Relax. The community just wants to see results that you promised us and not have to wait a year. In a years time bitcoin will be all over Iceland. Your time is limited and urgent updates is needed from your team!!!!!! So stop with the talk and lets see more real updates, tired of waiting!

[rocanonz]

I'm sure the DEV's will deliver what was promised. (new wallet and more)
Wish you all a nice sunny day

[LTEX]

@Danslip, you don't have to wait a year mate, as Bimmer stated, we are almost done. You have made it clear here many times you are in this to make money. That's fine with me, but it also means that you have to respect the choices made by the majority who want this coin to be a long term success. If you don't, you are more than welcome to try it your way yourself...

Maybe it's just me, but when someone from the dev team tells a community member they can fuck off if they don't like the way things are done, then maybe it is time to fuck off.
