Hi,
There are a lot of pages and I can't go through them all in one sitting, so I'll ask one or two questions instead while reading:
1. Is it worth mining AUR with Nvidia cards?
2. Is there any blockchain snapshot I can download so I don't have to go through over 3 years of blocks?

1) Yes, should be, but do the calculations yourself.
2) No, currently not.

2) yes there is, look here: http://cryptochainer.com/dir/

Yeah, someone else mentioned that after that post as well. I wasn't aware of it at that time.

@Sam67, what do you mean?

Auroracoin Qubit pool added to:
www.Mining-Dutch.nl

Auroracoin now minable on Scrypt / Sha256 and Qubit algorithms.

Hope this is going to moon back to 80k sats!

I don't think we're going to see that happen anytime soon. BTC was valued much lower at that time. Price has been however fairly stable between 0.40 USD and 0.70 USD for months now.

Hey, could someone confirm if the following link is accurate on the voting results?

The link is a bit misleading because I think the image shows the results of the previous election.

This is the one you need:

Mostly at a few merchants in Iceland. Joylato is the only one confirmed by us, but MikkiRefur could give a better answer to this on which merchants are in the process of getting Auroracoin accepted.

Yeah, a number of traders is a problem now. I have met some people from Iceland they even don't know what is Bitcoin, nor Auroracoin.

BTW. I can only wish to partially relocate to Iceland and run Bohemian pub and shop with beers from Czechia for Auras. It is 3 x win :-)
For me, Auroracoin and Icelandic people, because czech beer is best in the universe :-D If you like to spread out the word, this is best marketing channel.

Let me know if you are interested

Just a quick update regarding the Electrum-AUR wallet.

Both Original and KGW diff algorithms are in and can sync until block 225000 (where the multi-algo starts). I've worked on the Multi-algo diff algorithm and hopefully I have that working by the end of this week, or else next week.

do token holders receive percentage of the platform’s income?

AUR is not part of the ICO craziness going on right now.  It was founded before the token craze.  There's no "income" to be had.  If you buy the coin on the open market, and the price goes up, you make money.  If you buy it, and the price goes down, you lose money.  There's no ICO silliness here.

I might seem overly optimistic, but if you look at what happened to TX coin (mooning much higher than its previous highs despite BTC appreciation and looking like a dying coin), it's not far fetched that the same would happen to Auroracoin.

 is the quantity of tokens limited?

Yes, coin creation is limited in a similar way as bitcoin (through periodic halving).

While high prices are nice, it is not our goal. People actually using it as a currency is the goal (higher prices are a logical result of that). We know from experience that spending grinds to a halt when the price goes up quickly in a short time.

I'm sure the most sustainable way for a higher price is more usage, else we might end up getting speculative pumps with the normal dump which doesn't serve the general user. Having said that... then again sometimes higher price draws attention which will create more usage.

Are people talking about bitcoin in iceland?

Its price must be causing interesting conversation which can only be good for aurora.
