there is no trail about auroracoin 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. Are they accepting AUR now? If so that would be awesome news! Merchant adoption ftw.

Hey, anyone know what is going on with aurora coin, how are the icelander adjusting to this auroracoin and is it being used?
I'm currently busy fixing Digibyte's electrum wallet and converting it to Auroracoin. I've been working on the port of electrum to Bitcoin Cash called "electron-cash". Maybe I can be of some assistance?

The Hive and Insight servers have been migrated over to our new team hosting account as a first step in our server migration project. DNS seeds and Electrum servers are next. These will require a bit more work, as we'll need to update the seed addresses in the core code and push a new wallet release. The Electrum servers are called by DNS name, so the Android app shouldn't need to be updated.
Electrum servers? Does this mean there's an electrum port? That would be awesome. I can't find it, though. @molecular, you can hit up the test server if you need to. I'll shoot you the info in PM. -Fuse

Server itself is less interesting to me. I could talk to kyuupichan (author of electrumx server which I switched to, btw, for my bitcoin and bitcoin cash electrum servers) about how much work a port of electrumx to aur would be and maybe even do it if that's something interesting for the project.

The port for ElectrumX is easy enough. I've had it running once before on the test server. We eventually planned to move all the electrum servers over to ElectrumX, but it hasn't really been a priority. If you want to get a solid forked repo created for it, that would be a good project. Other than that, the electrum client is definitely something we would love to see completed. I'm sure Biomike will hit you up to collaborate. -Fuse

I also managed to log in to the slack, so probably can be contacted there (I don't use btctalk much any more)

I also managed to log in to the slack, so probably can be contacted there (I don't use btctalk much any more) 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.

Most ETH miners have already moved to equihash coins after the last difficulty increase. They can mine AUR if they want on groestl/skein/qubit, but will most likely continue to mine the popular GPU mined coins like ZEC, ZEN, SIGT, etc. -Fuse

Why don't you write them and ask? I'm sure they have a thread here in the forums as well. -Fuse

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

Well, the tablets that came were not certified as CE (European Union I think) so they were sent back to shipper. Anyway, we are just moving forward with a locally available tablet for 120€, or 12.000ISK - Lenova Tab3 - and of course also reminding merchants they can use an existing Android phone or similar device. Just within the past 2 weeks we have confirmed 3 more merchants officially working with us to begin launching merchant acceptance. So there are 5 merchants now that have agreed to officially accept auroracoin - and we are moving forward on marketing materials and website support for new/existing merchants. So we are expecting to have these finished this week, "Auroracoin accepted here" placards and materials delivered and announced next week. Thanks, mikki

Interesting news from Iceland, regarding our Prime Minister, that is running again for parliament in 3 weeks. Looks like he had inside information and sold all his assets one day before the financial collapse in Iceland in 2008. I'm guessing this could lead to criminal charges for internal trading. It will be interesting to see if his party, that he leads, will get 30-40% of the popular vote in the coming elections like before, in the light of this news or if we will get a new majority party that might shake things up in Iceland. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/06/iceland-pm-sold-bank-assets-hours-before-financial-crash-leaks-show

Im communicating with several venture capital firms here in cape town with aim of educating them about auroracoin.
Are there any objections to this or constructive comments on how to do it?
