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

[molecular]

made a basic block explorer

copy from reddit post

I just whipped up a basic blockexplorer for AUR using bitcoin-abe.
It is or will be available at the following addresses:

* http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu (working)
* http://explorer.auroracoin.eu (waiting for DNS propagation)
* http://aurexplorer.info (waiting for domain registration)

I'm looking for donations to be able to improve the site make it more stable / reliable, improve the looks maybe add hashrate graph and/or other goodies

I would be very happy and motivated if people donated:

AUR: AL8vRddTujqaFJQ3feZpg1jYHz6Jv2Rkwc
BTC: 19JVSnxJx7rM8V55s6SqXNb7PHG7Q2pcj7

Thanks!

Feedback and suggestions are highly welcome!

Thank you!

Sent some satoshis your way as I've only just started mining AUR and don't have any yet.

Do you think it would be possible to spruce up the visual apperance of the BE to give it an Icelandic theme?

Thanks for your donation.

Before taking care of appearance (it's on the list), I have to fix the addresses (they are all wrong).

Does anyone know the address_version and magic for AUR or where to look these up in the source code?

https://github.com/baldurodinsson/auroracoin-project/blob/56e7650690dec94389992cb058e96d8739d253c7/src/base58.h#L281

thanks, Balduro.

Still need more help.

This is coin config (bitcoin-abe) for litecoin:

Code:

datadir += [{
 "dirname" : "/home/aur/.AuroraCoin",
 "chain" : "AuroraCoin",
 "code3" : "AUR",
 "address_version" : "u000e",
 "magic" : "u00fbu00c0u00b6u00db"
}]

what do I need for AUR?

litecoin:

Code:

PUBKEY_ADDRESS = 48, // Litecoin addresses start with L

auroracoin:

Code:

PUBKEY_ADDRESS = 23,

confused

Think it should be 0x97

https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/blob/master/doc/FAQ.html

no, hex(23) = 0x17. got it working correctly now.

Code:

datadir += [{
 "dirname" : "/home/aur/.AuroraCoin",
 "chain" : "AuroraCoin",
 "code3" : "AUR",
 "address_version" : "\u0017",
 "magic" : "\u00fb\u00c0\u00b6\u00db"
}]

also note the backslashes in the JSON hex encoding right before the 'u's? I forgot these before (they're missing in many examples).

I would love to hear some plans for unclaimed coins (& timeline for being able to claim them).  Obviously the dev(s) should make a profit off of their ideas and time but announcing that X% of unclaimed AUR will be donated to Icelandic charities would do a lot to calm the objections of folks calling any 50% premine a scam.

The spike in network hashrate seems to have abated but persisting high difficulty means that mining is sort of at a crawl...

How about a bounty for someone implementing K. gravity well?

I think time to claim is 1 year.

Where should the bounty come from? Maybe we should setup a bounty pool and donate?

Couldn't some of the airdrop funds be used for the bounty?

That would introduce some additional trust issues. I would've had to have been announced beforehand.

Yes. Good work balduro!

This coin has a better amount of pools running now which is good.  Hopefully we can get the hashing power distributed a bit more evenly between them.  Congrats to aur.easy-mine.eu on their first block!  We've hit 2 so far at http://aur.scrypthp.com and are steadily gaining hashing power

WTT eKrona: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421376.0

for some AUR

I have 16 500 eKrona

[bitmixer]

Quoting from Arni (other DEV) and me on Hackforums.

the creator will not get any of these coins. except the 31.8 because he is from Iceland. if there will be any remaining the next Icelander who is born will get the coin or if you want to move to iceland. (this will happen until the premined coins are gone.)

Each day new story ..... HAHAHA, official plan that airdrop last 1 YEAR.

Also reputed cryptocurrency focused member - CryptoTM mentioned that verification will be through national ID (obviously he's got it from PM's with you or ). And WOW, when I've mention how easy it's to false claim that with botnet and ID generator, Balduro brought new story (Aurosh!t style - each day new story) that ID isn't sufficient.

Hmm ...... what will be the other verification? Hmm, SMS?

1. SMS costs quite alot, I bet my balls if that would be SMS notification as mentioned on BTCtalk, it cost will be paid from premined.
2. SMS (or any other) verification will only DECREASE number of real claims. So once again there still be like 80-90% PREMINED not claimed.
3. Nobody other then DEV's can verify if airdrop giveaway was send to real claims based on ID+SMS. WHole premined is in control of DEV's and there's no reputable 3rd party oversight.


So please DEV's, sit down and bring some new, more interesting story today.

Miners moving to eKrona now? Significant drop in hashrate...

Miners moving anywhere else, DEV's of altcoin with 50% premined comming each day with different story how the airdrop would be done. Never satisfiably answering what would happen with unclaimed coins have no chance to get on any EXCHANGE.

For the sake of your argument you should read something about the auroracoin.

Now do yourself a favor and read something before posting another mindless accusation.
