What are you using? I'd get a better GPU, 46kh is very little hashpower. AMD radeon 7950, 7970, r9 280x, r9 270x, r9 290..
Thanks for helping btw

If you are plugged into a 15 amp outlet try finding a 20 amp instead. Works for me.

balduro, great initiative and I hope it fully succeeds!

For future-proofing I recommend using the ISO currency code ISA instead of AUR, as the ISO-codes ISA through ISZ are reserved for Iceland. AU codes are reserved for Australia. So, if the new currency looks like displacing the ISK, then it will have a further advantage for being theoretically acceptable by SIX standards and more easily handled in mainstream forex and financial accounting systems.

Lets try to get some action going in the mineabit pool:

***
Mine-a-Bit: http://aur.pool.mineabit.com/
0% Pool Fee / 0.01 AUR tx fee / VarDiff

Excellent for "lower" hashrate miners, and why not for higher hashrates too, compare to pool with 1% pool fee and 0.1 AUR tx fee:
Lets say you set autopayout to 1 AUR.. you pay 0.01 AUR for the pool fees and 0.1 AUR tx fee; thats 0.11AUR taken from every payout.. 11% total fees! // with mineabit, this would be 0.01 AUR tx fee = 1%
With autopayout set to 5 AUR, that would do 0.15 AUR in fees from every payout.. 3% total fees! // with mineabit, the total fees are still 0.01 AUR, which would be 0.2%
***

Stop deluding yourselves and letting your greed blind you. It will not garner interest from even a tiny % of Iceland's population. 20% of the population is under 14 years old. 20% is above 55 years old. The vast, vast majority of citizens (and the verification process on here is ridiculous, and will likely never, ever happen) will never hear of it, never receive the coins and go on with their days.

"Everyone wins." Not the people who buy in when the coin is overvalued when eventually it will be worth virtually nothing. They will lose. But, I guess, free market, only the strong survive. It just boggles my mind that there are actually people buying into this.

As mentioned already, Iceland has a pretty small population in very concentrated areas, so information gets passed around quick and efficiently. And when you consider the age of the population, where over 50% are aged between 15-54, it is more likely that there will be more adoption since "youngsters" are more likely to be up to date on technological advancements and more knowledgeable of them.
Iceland has according to some studies the highest adoption rate for bitcoin compared to total population, so getting the word out about the aurora can spread fast.
Also if you have followed the news and happenings from Iceland, you know the people are not very fond of banksters and could very well be willing to adopt a currency like this

[hammer1]

Better question is "for how long". Seeing how there will be probably around 100k Icelanders dumping their coins for BTC, then dumping BTC for fiat, this coin might surely have serious implications - but not the ones you think of.

What is your plan to profit from your vision?

Depends. Can I short it for a month somewhere?

Actually, seeing how if the current rate were to be sustained, the premine would be worth 300,000 BTC... I'm almost considering shorting BTC too.

Man, I wish I could've shorted at .03...would've already doubled my money.

It's given out in a month. There's no infrastructure, no retailers accepting it, and we're talking about widespread adoption and displacing the national currency?

In most countries, it takes at least a few years to roll out the currency change, and that's given the government support, not a few hobbyists. Hell, for the general population even the very idea of a cryptocurrency is as alien as Martians.

So, nope. It might - just might - sustain itself as yet another altcoin, but getting the whole country to run at it is about as likely as it is for the world to turn to BTC as the primary currency. Which is "not very much, but maybe in ten years or so".

Our node has the best efficiency in the network, hardly any DOA or orphan shares! - and we have the capacity to handle a lot more miners

am I missing something? every time I start my bat file for cgminer it crashes..
it's just a normal scrypt coin using the instructions on your page right?

[illodin]

Maybe an unusual question, but all you who have expressed your negative feelings/expectations, if you could decide, would you like this project cancelled?

[Bimmerhead]

Auroracoin needs merchant tools.

Please request they add Auroracoin to their supported currencies here:

Rolling out a fiat currency and a cryptocurrency are vastly different.  And the dispersal BEGINS in a month and there are multiple phases (I suggest reading the dispersal plan).  And of course there's no retailers utilizing it now.  But before long, someone in Iceland will be selling Alpaca socks for Auroracoin and it shall begin.

And most of us supporters are not claiming replacement of the national currency.

[axxo]

What separate Auroracoin from other altcoins is a great idea/vision to reach out to the people of a particular country which has never been done before by any coin Dev. With the great things happening currently for AUR this might become the most successful coin in the history of crypto currency.

Though I don't have any AUR I'm very excited about the Airdrop just to find out if the currency will be widely acceptable or not by the Icelandic people a couple of months after.

So we will get details of the "Airdrop" once it is underway?
