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.

Let Iceland people who want crypto buy Bitcoin or Litecoin. AUR is dead, like almost all altcoins. You harm cryptocurrency concept doing like this.. you probably don't care and just try to steal money to naive people.

The pre-mine must be destroyed if Balduro stays non responsive. There unfortunately is no other alternative to secure trusted transparency. We also would rather see the remaining part of the pre-mine distributed among the people of Iceland, but that can only happen with cooperation of Balduro. So for now we have to anticipate on that fact and prepare for destruction in the upcoming hard fork.

i'm lucky i am out of this

If that's your believe, then so are we 

[LTEX]

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.

I do like the name!

+1
Premine must be destroyed to also increase value of coin and better for Iceland people if currency worth more and for investors who deserve to make money for buying coins now and keeping it alive on cryptsy.

1 AUR, like any other coin, can be divided up to 10^8 smaller parts... how would that not be enough? Same BS argument could be said for BTC (if it would be distributed worldwide).

BTC has a lot of negativity outside of the cryptocommunity, that would be the strength of AUR.

I do like the name!  

the name seems to be the best thing left of this -once- great idea!

good luck to you, guys!

edit: Biomike: [...] how would that not be enough?

i wasnt saying its not enough, i meant it would be important for the iceland government to hold these coins

this received couple of airdrops today:
ALTDfdRoDeAcczUgkG7cbpFZkHN74VfE3d

sends it on to AXuwBHwM44NZ2cuYqB3a3hWk8XVC4zo4n2

i think i have not seen a single legitimate claim of an airdrop today. Everything goes to the same 10 to 15 adresses of which 13 send on to the other two.

all airdrops of today more or less are linked to

AXuwBHwM44NZ2cuYqB3a3hWk8XVC4zo4n2

and

AYEkRf9fNbLVkCTjHBpKHZD1X578TaYK6g

the wallets receiving premine today and not linked to these two adresses yet, will be linked to them within 72 hours.

these two adresses claim airdrops and receive same time airdrops from other adresses which claim on the same blocks even. So pretty much every claim of an airdrop you saw yesterday and today (and will keep seeing) will end up in one of the two adresses above.


Auroracoin airdrop is predictable. This is a huge bust.

Just read this page and you see why new coin is needed for Iceland. A fresh start without any doubt of corruption.

[creuz]

And why not create a coin for you and your friends and show us why your band need a new coin ?

Look here. You don't need to wait: http://coincreator.net/
It will cost you two beers and a cake to get started a fresh new coin

This quoted post shows a normal transaction, someone claimed coins, sent it to someone else, perhaps a friend or a Facebook contact who is buying coins. This someone who is buying coins from lots of people, then later sends it to an exchange and sells it.

edit: Biomike: [...] how would that not be enough?

I guess I misread your post, but the Icelandic government doesn't need to hold any coins. Icelandic people need to hold (and more important, use) them.

In this case most transactions are perfectly explainable. There have been groups of Icelanders claiming airdrop coins collectively (i.e. for their friends and relatives, who didn't want to bother with setting up a wallet). Often people used one wallet for the entire family and sold to "collectors".

I understand how people get confused with these transactions and you have a valid point that starting fresh is sometimes a better option. And in a way we are doing exactly that now by forking to a new chain where all possibly questionable addresses are ruled out.

You are obviously more than welcome to start your own coin, but bare in mind that lot's of people in Iceland are already familiar with Auroracoin and we have at least 5-10% of the population that actively claimed their coins. We are also actively going to invest in local PR shortly, which means more people will get to know Auroracoin. For a new initiative to accomplish that you have to prepare to invest largely.

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.
 
https://distribution.guldencoin.com/#/stats

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.

Let me share come facts and opinions I have about AUR.

1. I proved to myself it was a scam when I did some peer lookups during the airdrop,there was less then 150 active nodes. I would say less then 70 at this point in time.
2. The developer is not from Iceland, this is the reason you will never ever get him to reveal his true identity.
3. AUR was created by a smart and patient investor who most likely can wait it out and present some feel good stories to con people.
4. Same sock accounts used to defend the coin.
5. Not in a million years was 40 000 AUR given to unique people as per point 1.

Oh boy, Auroracoin is really becoming popular again, for the same statements are returning. For the sake of argument, this "sock account" will try once more:

1. Even if what you say is true, it would prove nothing. The first stage of the airdrop started relatively slow. People needed to get used to everything and download and install clients. Most payout of the airdrop happened later because people simple didn't have a wallet yet after registration.

2. The developer IS from Iceland. The fact that the original domain was registered with whoisguard doesn't mean he's from Panama, for then Theymos, founder of this site must be his roommate! Balduro has been active in active chats with other people from Iceland, he was capable of engaging direct convo's in Icelandic, something a guy from Panama would not be able of.

The reason he remained anonymous is simply explainable by the fact that it would be very unwise for him to disclose his Identity. Same reason we still have no clue who Satoshi is. Emagine, at some point the pre-mine under his control was worth over 1 billion US$, you think he would have been safe from Bankers, Politicians or other criminals if he was publicly known?

3. The fact that we have come this far with Auroracoin and it still is one of the most promising projects in the history of crypto proves your right, he is smart!

4. The only accounts that are here defending developing this coin have been positively with it from the start. I think we are here because we believe in the possibilities the project offers for it's chosen parameters (Iceland, Currency Controls, only 330K inhabitants, Pots and Pans revolution, etc). The position of Balduro isn't that interesting to me anymore, we are moving on without him, something he was aiming for all the time anyway.

5. As said before, the way coins have been distributed are not simply 1 on 1, especially during the first weeks of the airdrop. I'm sometimes tracking my own accounts with BTC and lose track all the time in the maze of the blockchain.

So are the bank(gang)sters who were responsible for the 2008 crash.

Bulduro is a phantom, lets make that clear.

Try look in the mirror and keep a straight face, repeat what you just typed.

I have already spent too much time explaining this scam, I will leave these posts in here for people who are smart enough to do a search before investing.
