[ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland

[LTEX]

Thanks ltex

Eggert raised the concern that he can't trust the coin and that he wants a list of Icelanders who hold Auroracoin.

Baldur was supposed to be the guy to answer questions for people like eggert and once he left I decided to fill the vacuum.

Eggert if you spend some short time analysing the rich list you will see how transparent and trustworthy  this coin is.

1. The richest aur address is reserved for the foundation with one million air.
2. The next 15 addresses are the premined airdrop coins that have not been claimed.
3. The next 40 addresses are miners that mine Auroracoin.
4. From there there are about 200 people with more than 100 dollars worth of Auroracoin, these people have invested money above and beyond possibly claiming from the airdrop.
5. From there you have about 30 000 Icelanders holding between 100 and 1000 Auroracoin.

There is very little room for any scammers here, what needs to be done to win your trust eggert?

5. From there you have about 30 000 Icelanders holding between 100 and 1000 Auroracoin.
I can tell you right now this is a big lie, there is just over 300 000 people in my country and I would know many more people that have claimed these coins. This is 10% of my country. This is a big scam... good luck getting people to join your pyramid scheme!

I will only promote bitcoin with my people.

Wow that was fast! I think you set a new record as a newbie in coming to this conclusion and yelling the well known words ;-)

I have read few articles about the multi-algo implementation in DigiByte coin.
Seams like a wanderfull, democratic solution for securizing the AUR blockchain.
I hope will be implemented in the new AUR core too

What can I say, other than we read those articles too and I even had the pleasure of meeting Jarred in person last month ;-)

baldur odinson and LTEX the same person? lol I thought it was all 3 of you since Eggbert only created his account yesterday and today baldur odinson makes a comeback but Eggbert definitely seems serious.lol

[soltantgris]

LTEX,

You are clearly doing a good communication job !   But still i suspect you have to take a step back and see things from Eggert (or anyone else) point of view. For most, Aur is a mystery, Aur team too. Eggert raise legit questions, no matter what purpose he may have. For my part, the main reason why I invested in Aurora is I personnaly know one of the guy working ''behind the scene'' and I trust him more than I trust 99.99% people. But without that relation, I would not have invested, so I understand Eggert concerns.

Eggert, the guy i know is from Iceland - and I chatted with another icelander (a dev). I'm not icelandic, i'm Canadian. PM your skype we may chat if you want, i'll visit Iceland next year with my familly, so you may have some recommandations for me

Well Eggert I live in Iceland too. I have no doubt about the original claims being true. There was a lot of media coverage of Auroracoin when it started. Why is it remote to have 30.000 claims when you even have 5.000 people liking the facebook page, most of whom are Icelandic people. I'm one of the persons working on the coin now and I'm involved with the foundation. You want transparency, I'll even meet you face to face to discuss this and answer all your questions the best I can if you want.

Nice price move from AUR! Any news?

Hi/sæll Eggert

You can check out this link: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-auroracoin-addresses.html

Where you can see the distribution of the coin.

You can also check out this link to see all claims to each step of the three airdrop phases: http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu/
This information is not the official count but what has been counted in the blockcain that matches the amounts distributed, 31.8, 318 and 636 AUR.

In the first 4 months of the airdrop 35.444 individuals from Iceland claimed 31,8 AUR, http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu/claims.html. Many people hoarded social id nr. from family members, I did and claimed for my parents, wife and two children, when the coin got covered in the news for 2-3 days from 24.3.2014-27.3.2014 17.583 people claimed the coin.

In phase 2 of the airdrop, which was for 4 months also, 5.027 people claimed 318 AUR, http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu/claims.2.html. Most of those probably also claimed in the first phase.

In the 3rd  and last phase of the airdrop, also 4 months, 2.638 people claimed 636 AUR, http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu/claims.3.html.

From https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-auroracoin-addresses.html you can see that 12.588 addresses are holding 0-10 AUR. These are maby people who sold the initial Airdrop coins, 31.8 or some who have bought a few coins in the last year.

20.477 addresses are holding 10-100 AUR. These are mostly the 31,8 initial claims, but by the looks of it some have sold their AUR or claimed more, so the 20.477 does not match the 35.444 who claimed in the first phase of the airdrop.

3.080 addresses are holding between 100 and 1.000 AUR. These can be the people who claimed in the second and third phases of the coin. Also these are fewer than the phase 2 and phase 3 claims combined, i.e. some have sold the coin and others have bought more.

545 addresses are hodling 1.000-10.000 AUR. These are maby the people who have been mining the coin or are big supporters who have bought the coin on exchanges or on Facebook groups.

42 are holding 10.000-100.000 these are also the people who have been mining the coin or are big supporters who have bought the coin on exchanges or on Facebook groups.

15 are holding 100.000-1.000.000 AUR. 12-13 of these addresses are the premine coins. 2-3 addresses are mining addresses I think.

1 is holding 1.000.001 AUR, which was reserved for the Auroracoin foundation, which has been established as Auraráð in Iceland.

baldur odinson and LTEX the same person? lol I thought it was all 3 of you since Eggbert only created his account yesterday and today baldur odinson makes a comeback but Eggbert definitely seems serious.lol

The original Baldur was balduro, not Baldur Odinson

@ Balduro Oddinson, might it not be a good idea if you changed that name? You are a good supporter and do great contributions with your PR work, but looking at the reactions on the previous page, using that name gets people confused I guess.

This is your call of course, I just want to ask openly to keep transparency.

[BritcoinFTW]

LTEX,

You are clearly doing a good communication job !   But still i suspect you have to take a step back and see things from Eggert (or anyone else) point of view. For most, Aur is a mystery, Aur team too. Eggert raise legit questions, no matter what purpose he may have. For my part, the main reason why I invested in Aurora is I personnaly know one of the guy working ''behind the scene'' and I trust him more than I trust 99.99% people. But without that relation, I would not have invested, so I understand Eggert concerns.

Eggert, the guy i know is from Iceland - and I chatted with another icelander (a dev). I'm not icelandic, i'm Canadian. PM your skype we may chat if you want, i'll visit Iceland next year with my familly, so you may have some recommandations for me

It looks like this is why he doesn't want the premine destroyed as a lot of the big holders are from outside of Iceland.

Big bag holders sell when the price goes up. It's up to the Icelandic people to get hold of them en get them into Iceland and start using them.

I will speculate on the premine topic too
Maybe balduro want to push the new DEV team to update de core or he wants to transfer the premine to the foundation. Or god knows
As I stated before I will rather distribute the 5mil remaining premine coins than destroying them.

Anyone can buy - but people do it now because they know that there will be a solid campaign within Iceland lead by the Foundation, so when Icelandics start buying, the avalaible supply will drop.  If I understand well - all the Foundation effort will go toward Iceland, so I suspect that Aurora will get squeezed there more and more, leaving us poor outsiders with few Aurora avalaible.  

Like any national currency, in fact.

Anyone can get canadian dollars, but there is not a lot of way to use it outside canada, trading put aside.  So most canadian dollars are kept here, within our frontiers.

@Ltex, I agree that it would be a good idea that BaldurOdinson changes his nickname here.  Man, I saw your website and you are doing great effort to help Aurora, so nice to have such enthousiast people supporting it !  But using Baldur's nick is confusing, and I think it's actually bad.  Be yourself !  You may join me with skype chat (PM me your skype username i'll add you).

Fun time

[BritcoinFTW]

He meant the other guy Eggert, who uses the name of Baldur Odinon here. He is just a community member that is very enthousiast over Auroracoin, not the original founder of it...

My guess would be the spell check of BCT. But you probably are going to say next that Balduro, LTEX, Solantgris and some others are all the same person right?

It was a serious question mate and not to you, I am asking soltantgris if he is a Dutch Canadian. I wasn't pointing fingers this time, I made mistake earlier and thought Baldur Odinson was the original developer so that discussion is closed.

You already mentioned you are Dutch which is why I am asking soltantgris.

Ok, sorry about that then mate   I just have been in these little word games a bit to much lately. My apologies, once more

It looks like this is why he doesn't want the premine destroyed as a lot of the big holders are from outside of Iceland.

Why is this problem? Premine must be destroyed is that is what promised. It will increase value of all our coins and then we sell back to Iceland people at high price and profit. I am not rush to sell and will hold until price is good.
I suggest you keep your coins in many addresses and few wallet.dat files as there won't be many coin and value will go very high when all plans come for Iceland.
