The airdrop was donne by using the kennitala ID system and moving bytes of computer generated data
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennitala
The initial hype arround AUR just before the airdrop when 31.8 of them worth 600$+, attracted 30.000+ airdrop requests.
After the dump the number of second airdrop request went down to 5000+
And the 3'rd airdrop request went even lower to 2500+
Because the value of the airdop coins is so low now, they have no use in merchant transaction. It's something that you just trade if you have a taste for risk or you firmly believe in the concept propose by AUR coin.
But with the newly dedicated foundation that holds a marketing and development budget, this will change in time.

Do you know what the developer did to advertise AUR to the people in Iceland. I am part of the Guldencoin community and as you can see with our distribtion stats under 2000 people have claimed with a population of 17 million in the Netherlands. The coin has also just turned 1 year old and has plenty merchants, been on the media and even RT but only 1918 people have claimed. Any tips or ideas the AUR developer used would be welcomed.

Something that is a concern is that EFL with the same coin supply also claimed around 40 000 people in the Netherlands claimed but that was proven as a scam as the coin creators got caught out by having bigger sells in EFL on the exchanges then was meant to be in supply at the time. Now there has been community takeover and they also got a foundation built. Looks like AUR going to head in same direction.

I know some members in Guldencoin have invested in AUR so came to check it out so please let me know how they advertised and I can give this information to our team.

Before 1stage airdrop, the number of coins in circulation where quite small. That situation made possible for the speculators to inflate the price of AUR to a insane level, for a new born coin. So the existence of AUR went viral in the cryptocurrency community, the national and international press.
Why 10% of Icelandic population participated in the 1'st airdrop?
1) Gold rush, free money falling from the sky
2) The hope of people in AUR fulfilling it's main proposition "breaks the shackles of a fiat currency"

So i think it's less of a good marketing and more of good luck.
Also Reykjavík it's a small city and moist of the Icelandic population lives in. Easy to talk with each other

For me this guy did the best AUR coin marketing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS-0EuTwa9Q

Try to market Guldencoin when the Euro has crashed 70% against all other currencies in the world and I'm sure many people will be ready to try something new. That what happened in Iceland.

These are valid points Dinobotta makes, Pijpenstelen. Iceland is a country that has been completely cut of from foreign financial markets after 2008. They are the only country in the world that have overthrown their government (look up "pots and pans revolution") cause of the crisis and even have jailed the bankers that were involved.

Also the entire country consists of 330.000 inhabitants of which over 70% live in Reykjavik. A concentrated community that can be compared with the Dutch city of Eindhoven. That's a lot easier to reach than 17.000.000 people shattered all over our (I'm Dutch as well as you know) country.

This is why, in the Netherlands, we need initiatives like KwartjeTerug to get people interested in a more playful way. In Iceland the mentality is already very serious when it comes to "breaking the shackles" from fiat currency.

I joined their dev skype group, so far they seems to have honest plans.
Some members invested into new exchange which should launch soon.
Also they are closely bound to Iceland pirate party, which is extremely strong now.

Good time to buy AUR, people would be silly to not get in now when they can make 100 times the btc off Icelanders in near future.

Yes, it's being setup by the new DEV group. This will become the main site for Auroracoin and will be focussed on easy adoption by the Icelandic public. It will be bi-lingual (Icelandic and English).

There will also be a separate site launched for the Auroracoin foundation. This site will have more focus on the legal and development aspect of things.

Third we already have our new forum setup for our community: http://auroraspjall.is

A new team, A new coin for Iceland. IcelandicNotes will be launched in June.

After leaning from the early mistakes made by AUR distribution we want to start with a clean slate for Iceland.

Transparency:
Every team member will be contactable by phone, email etc Trust and Transparency is very important in Iceland.
Company address will be given and people from the public will be more then welcome to come visit.

Fair Distribution:
No Premine but coin generation will be done in new innovative ways, the focus will be on developing the currency for Iceland and making it usable on launch.

Team
The core team will only consist of citizens from Iceland and will outsource any needed skills we can't do in house.

Development
More to be announced closer to launch.

I will announce our new forums when we go live. It's time to give Iceland the coin it deserves.

Fair distribution, well the people of Iceland have some and foreign creditors of the fallen Icelandic banks also have a few billion.

Team, http://www.cb.is/monetary-policy/monetary-policy-committee/.

A variation in the name will be announced for the official release but will be similar, we don't wan't to give away the name in case the developer here created the coin with the same name to sabotage the project. Which would only be a temporary set back.
