Is http://aur.easy-mine.eu down for anyone else?

There are going to be some sad bagholders when a bunch of icelanders dump their free coins.

Guys, mine AUR on p2pool to help decentralisation:
http://p2pool.crunchpool.com:12347/
Our node has the best efficiency in the network, almost no DOA or orphan shares!

APGpx7ejE1YtcnGXUNrjH42xh9Bgb7Q78V   46.3kH/s   0H/s   0%
I mine there!

Any tips on how to increase my hashrate?

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

Im mining this pool, but my hashrate is 13.50kh.  What miner should i be using for GPU mining and what should my .bat file look like?  Im using a Radeon H7770.  Help!

Is there any serious pool UP?

All pools down - disconnecting - empty or slow... I am mining 75% less coins than expected with my actual hashrate and the current diff...

Im mining at easy-mine.eu site is down but im still getting accepted shares. Anyone who can confirm if we are getting paid or do we need to stop for a while?

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%
***

Bump for reminder / new miners

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

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".

You obviously are not familiar with Icelandic people

I have not been paid and the site seems down.

I cannot find a decent pool at all that works all of them are either a scam or the actual pool doesn't work so you cannot mine on it.

[crypto era]

I'll bump this sense no one could answer me. What's to stop there government from banning it as a currency\commodity.

has the developers talked to the government to see if they will accept and adopt it? will there will be stores and businesses that will accept it? Would this actually be able to be an official currency for the Icelandic people or will this be a large handout\charitable donation to them. Also if a whale mines and buys to get a large percentage of this coin could they theoretically control the worth of the Icelandic currency if it is accepted. By dumping everything he\she would have and plummeting the price. I want this coin to succeeded so im just pointing out any problems\ my misunderstandings early on.

I think the main problem is that there is not enough work.

I will point my miner at it every day for an hour and see if it gets any better....in the meantime its back to litecoin.

[mineabit]

I have noticed a big increase in miners on my pool, must be the 0% fees for everyone.

Kind of a shame that ops have to resort to fees as donations are really scarse.

are you guys serious. i saw this coin going at rates of 0.007btc . i remember the release and the 50% premine joke. but now people seem not to care anymore ? did i miss something or what.
i guess never understimate the retardness of humans.

I guess you underestimate the idea of the airdrop. Auroracoin is a very appealing experiment.

I think the current prices are quite an overreaction, but interest has spiked:



(this is request stats of http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu)

[pjviitas]

I love this idea but it seems the mining pool servers keep going up and down or there are simply not enough transactions.

Hopefully things pick up.

[pgbit]

Are there stats for the number of wallet downloads, per country?

For me now easy-mine.eu works very good, I get also accepted shares, the site shows all right.

Network hash has gone from 1.77 GHs to 4.05 GHs within the last 15 hours!  I so wish this was Scrypt Jane.
