They have mentioned they are working in Iceland to make it a national currency or some business partnerships, who knows what is going on behind closed doors but it might be a good thing.

We released our new codebase yesterday. That was the first step that needed to be taken before we roll out our marketing plan.

As of this point development (of the project rather than the technique) will advance rapidly. Preparations have been going on for months now and we have many good things in store.

We also build an exchange that has the unique pair AUR - ISK. This is an exciting development, because it truly gives the people of Iceland a way to acquire and trade a cryptocurrency directly in Krona (which has been impossible so far due to Icelandic currency controls). We will go live within the next couple of weeks. You can sneak peak at http://beta.isx.is

Our foundation has been working closely with entrepreneurs and government officials in Iceland as well. We have official statements from the tax department stating AUR is excluded from VAT. We also have partnerships in place with several businesses.

In the coming months we are going to show that we are will be actively promoting Auroracoin in Iceland. This will include smart and innovative marketing as well as traditional advertisement like billboards etc.

Is it a buy???

I would say YES!

Perhaps one of the greatest revelations of this decade: The Panama Papers!



Many well known people including heads of state have been caught in the act of hiding billions from the general public yesterday. This story can easily turn into one of the biggest scandals in history! Will this finally open up the eyes of the general public and make them look at Crypto as a way to prevent this?

To me the most interesting person on the list is obviously Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, the PM of Iceland. Today they are probably going to protest like crazy against him and my guess is it will turn into another Pots and Pans revolution demanding his government to resign!





If this happens the Icelandic Pirate party will probably win new elections and they are great supporters of Crypto currency!
To me it's a no-brainer, but this will definitely make a huge difference in getting our coin accepted in Iceland!

THINK ABOUT IT!

No one is telling anyone here to back off. We just like you guys to respect the fact that all members of our team share the same clear vision as to why we dedicate our time and efforts to this project.

I can understand perfectly well there are some of you that are here for speculation and profit. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps you can also understand that the foundation under your future profits lies not in hypes and pumps, but rather in real development of a strong user base in Iceland. So perhaps I can ask you kindly once more to have speculation discussions in the post Molecular was so kind to setup? You can find it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1067036.0

We as a team have chosen to invest in the long term. That means we are going to build on real acceptance of Auroracoin in Iceland. For this we have been building a strong foundation. This exists not only of the new multi-algo code, but also in the AUR-ISK exchange we have build (beta.ix.is).

Currently we are working on a detailed marketing plan that involves real commercials in Iceland. We are (rather soon) going to start a campaign with huge posters in all 100 bus terminals around Reykjavik, which will look like this:



The terminals have over 5 million driveby's a week! This means that in one week most people have become familiar with our logo and name. It also makes Auroracoin something that is real. Once we start unfolding our releases to the press people in Iceland are going to say "Hey, I saw that at the busstop before" Rather then "Hmmm, some internet thing from a couple of nerds".

The board members of the foundation are visiting our Dutch team on the 24th - 27th of march to work dedicated on future marketing plans. We expect a lot of local media coverage and are especially excited to announce the launch of the ISX exchange. This will be the first time since the currency controls came in effect that people of Iceland have direct access to a cryptocurrency with ISK.

And there is one very big thing in the making that will probably get over 100K Icelanders actively using AUR within this year. All of this from within Iceland and together with businesses that have chosen to partner up with us!
