Auroracoin
– a cryptocurrency for Iceland

RELEASED MIDNIGHT GMT FEB 2ND

TO BE AIRDROPPED TO THE ICELANDIC POPULATION MAR 25TH

Auroracoin is a cryptocurrency for Iceland. 21.000.000 coins, block reward 25. It is based on litecoin and is 50% premined. The premined coins will be distributed to the entire population of Iceland, commencing on midnight 25th of March 2014.

Auroracoin is designed to break the shackles of the fiat currency financial system in Iceland.

Iceland has been hit hard by financial meltdown and inflation. Not only did the entire banking system collapse in 2008, but the monetary history of Iceland is one of inflation, devaluation and currency controls.

Auroracoin is an opportunity for Icelanders to free themselves from currency controls and government debasement of the currency.

Auroracoin is based on the Litecoin protocol. However, it is started by the “Airdrop” of premined auroracoins to the Icelandic nation, designed to reach almost every Icelander. This one-time event will create the conditions for Icelanders to start using the currency, by providing them with a start and making them aware of the currency and its possibilities. After the Airdrop, the only way to acquire auroracoins will be through mining and transacting.

In before the gif of the dude flipping a coin!

[cherominerito]

50% premined. Nintencoin style.

[atleticofa]

And how are you going to distribute the coins to everyone?

[balduro]

And how are you going to distribute the coins to everyone?

Electronic National ID scheme - provided by the government, but useable by anyone.

Electronic National ID scheme - provided by the government, but useable by anyone.

Are you going to go through all of them manually to make sure the person who is asking the coins is the person he claims to be? Can't someone just enter ID's into your web page and collect coins non-stop? Just out of curiosity, how do you see it happening?

EDIT: or is the ID encrypted and the citizen has the private key and can give out his public key?

Each Icelander can verify himself through the scheme only once.

This is crazy 

[thisisnotmyltcusername]

we've had our share of grotesque scams here but this one is probably the most idotic launched this year

"Baldur Friggjar Odinsson"  yeah right...

[balduro]

Premined for a reason. Read up on it on the website. If you don't like it, don't touch it.

Lets' say it's real reason and I want to help.. I would need nodes to add in conf. It doesn't synch.

[Fiku]

Wish you luck balduro! This could literally change Iceland if it took off.  

[illodin]

Has anyone managed to sync?
