An international auroracoin foundation is in the pipeline.

The purpose will be to promote auroracoins adoption in iceland to an international investor base.

The new foundation will actively monitor the devs progress and the activity of the icelandic foundation as well.

The foundation will also strive to reveal as much information about the identities of auroracoin stakeholders as possible. This refers to the dev, the icelandic foundation, icelandic users and foreign holders aswell.

Auroracoins transparency can set it apart from an industry plagued by anonymous activity and alleged black market criminality.

The devs have not disclosed their holdings and this is one such problem auroracoin has to overcome if its going to be seen as a viable national currency free from manipulation.

Stay tuned ☺

Icelandic politicians have commented on auroracoin and their concerns of tax evasion and illegal activity are not unfounded...

According to Wikipedia as of 2015, the legal status of cryptocurrencies in Iceland was unclear, though the Auroracoin airdrop involved government approval of Odinsson's use of the national database of citizens, Íslykill.[14] Some Icelandic politicians have taken a negative view of Auroracoin. During a parliamentary debate on March 14, 2014, MP Pétur Blöndal, vice-chair of the Parliament's Economic Affairs and Trade Committee (EATC), emphasized that potential tax evasion through the use of Auroracoin could impact Iceland's economy.[8][15] He also said that the public should realize that Auroracoin "is not a recognized currency since no-one backs the medium".[15]

MP Frosti Sigurjónsson, a member of the ruling Progressive Party and Chairman of the EATC,[15] suggested in a blog post on his website that there is evidence that Auroracoin is an illegal financial "scam".[16][17]

Frosti is a PM in iceland and one of the most notable voices against the use of auroracoin. He later contributed to a popular central bank document released in 2015 describing a new monetary system for iceland https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.stjornarradid.is/media/forsaetisraduneyti-media/media/skyrslur/monetary-reform.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwi2r-SdosLVAhUqCsAKHfpyAAEQFggxMAk&usg=AFQjCNGf-ZJCeggKfE4XkFLSZ2fOIUCx1w ...

You can find his blog @ www.frosti.is and when you search auroracoin you will find several posts. I translated one here...


Auroracoin money fraud?
 February 7, bings news of plans of unknown but extremely kindly parties who intend to give every Icelander 31.8 auroracoin on March 25th. Icelanders can then use Auroracoin as a currency instead of crowns. Thus, the nation will be free from "currency controls and dilution of the currency".

However, there are many indications that there are money fraud and violations of law.

Ever since the Bitcoin chips have appeared in the field, similar artificial gems have emerged like spikes. It's even more fun to pretend that the advocates will succeed in convincing the public to accept this synthetic chips as a currency.

Auroracoin marketing seems to be giving to most Icelanders 31.8 Auroracoin. The plan is for the Icelandic public to use Auroracoin as a currency in their transactions, or to store liquidity. Auroracoin's website appears to be limited initially, and it will grow slowly. Thus, it is implied that supply is rising slower than demand and prices will rise accordingly.

It is announced that in March, up to 10.5 million Auroracoin will be in circulation here in Iceland. (330,000 x 31,8).

But nobody knows who is behind Auroracoin and nobody knows how many Auroracoin they store for themselves. The anonymity is hardly unfounded and raises suspicions that this is illegal fraud.

That's how the cheat could be: Auroracoin men make 10.5 million Auroracoin and invite every Icelander who wants to pick up 31.8 Auracoin. Let's hit this and 100,000 people receive a total of 3.18 million Auracoin gefins. If the public in Iceland continues to use Auroracoin in business for some reason, the price may increase as has happened with Bitcoin.

Let's say that the price of 1 Auroracoin will reach 100 kr. Then those 7.82 m Auroracoin, whose initials, saved themselves worth $ 782 million. Then they could quietly sell them. Of course, the vegetation could be much smaller, but still easily some tens of millions.

If this is a cheat, who loses?

They lose up with Auroracoin's unseen if the system collapses, if a injunction is imposed on its operations, or Auroracoin's demand drops for some reason. The price of Bitcoin has been enormously unstable and there is reason to believe that Auroracoin's exchange rates will be more stable.

The central bank may also suffer from some currency gains if Auroracoin replaces banknotes and coins to some extent.

Auroracoin's intention is likely to violate the Foreign Exchange Act and the Central Bank Act. Article 5 The Central Bank Act states: "The Central Bank of Iceland has the exclusive right to issue banknotes and to issue and issue coins or other currencies that can be exchanged in exchange for banknotes or legal coins."

The website auroracoin.org discusses the bank collapse and capital controls and hinted that using Auroracoin solves the problem of the public in Iceland. Money laundering is out of history and capital controls too. They forget to mention Bitcoin's instability because that would be a bad point. But it is not enough to spread Auroracoin to fulfill a promise of a brighter future. It is rather unlikely that shops or people generally wish to accept illegal chips as a payment. The chances that it happens to some extent are small.

Auroracoin will hardly be more than illegal coin mint in this country - but if the public fools to use Auroracoin significantly, it might make a lot of profit for the advocates.

[Change February 7 at 16:55. Got an indication that founders can not create Auroracoin without other users knowing it. If it is correct, the founders' scope for cheating on users is reduced, but it does not disappear. Therefore, if the founders acquire that part of the original pit that the public does not apply, they can grasp significantly on that part.]

Auroracoin has lost half of its value against bitcoin since it recent rally to 0.0004 btc for a coin. The massive bitcoin bull has helped auroracoin make gains against the dollar and the icelandic krona but auroracoin really should be doing better against bitcoin.

Bittrex provides clues to the cause of the phenomenon and with more than a million coins in its custody, bittrex itself has powerfull market making abilities.

The clear incentive here is for bittrex users to sell auroracoin for bitcoin and profit off bitcoins rally before buying back into a lower bitcoin price for auroracoin.

Iceland is in a strange situation with regards to crypto.

The country has a massive crypto mining industry but its unclear how much of that value gets translated into tax for the government.

They have their own national crypto currency called auroracoin but most people who claimed in the airdrop dumped their coins on the market and forgot about it.

The political class can be assumed to be buying crypto but they denounce it publically.

The people who claim to represent auroracoin have gathered only a small community after four years.

A simple mission seems to be failing. There is little progress to show and the few milestones that have been met have been clouded in secrecy.

I personally think the official representatives are delibrately trying to sabotage auroracoins progress.

The people involved need to do more to convince any one that this is going to work.

A little video content can go a long way...
