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

[NickPortland]

All I see here is pool spam, Is there ANY merchant acceptance in Iceland?? and if so, proof?

Seriously?

IF there will ever be merchant acceptance, that'll happen long after airdrop.

This will be the big push. Last week was prep.

Maybe you guys are not paying attention.

buy wall ^^

They are trying to take it over the high from last week. But by all means keep dumping for pennies on the dollar.

I'll wait for .25 BTC per AUR

If you want you can sell me your house for 80% off while you are at it.

How long do you plan to wait? You can't really wait that long  , for obvious reasons

[~Coinseeker~]

If AUR will drop again to 0.03 like the last week, that mean on Airdrop the ppl of Iceland will receive 31.8 x 0.03 = ~1 BTC.
Do you think that ~ $600 USD is a real help for them ?

People in Iceland don't need financial help. Despite the profound economic recession following the 2008 banking sector collapse, Iceland is still 16th, 18th or 20th (depending on classifying institution) richest nation on earth if you consider the Gross Domestic Product per capita.

What Icelanders could find useful though, is a currency that is not losing between 4% and 18% of its value annually (since 2008), which is what is happening with the Icelandic króna‎ (ISK), the one currently enforced by their government and central bank. A currency that would allow the Icelandic people to do business freely with the rest of the world and which wouldn't be restricted by capital controls put in place after 2008. Only the richest people, people with close links to financial elite, have the opportunity to invest in financial products that do not suffer from devaluation. All the others can only watch their monthly ISK pay checks devalue as each day goes by.

This currency might be Auroracoin.

That currency is Bitcoin. I still can't figure out why someone would feel like they need a regional crypto-currency, which nobody else in the rest of the world is likely to accept. Even IF Iceland somehow, miraculously, saw an infrastructure of commerce built up around Auroracoin (highly unlikely) they would still have to convert to Bitcoin, to spend it internationally...and the big question is, what would be the reason not to just use Bitcoin in the first place? The infrastructure is growing quickly around the world, there.

All they need is an exchange to get their local currency into Bitcoin. They don't need yet another crypto-currency, specific to their country.

That's what Ripple is for.  This is how multiple digital currencies will be able to exist and be used by merchants and individuals around the world, all without the need for a centralized exchange or central clearing house.  Now instead of building infrastructure for each currency, only one infrastructure for all digital currencies need exists.  A Ripple integration will allow transactions into and out of any infrastructure.  For example:  The Bitcoin bridge in Ripple, allows Ripple to be used to make transactions anywhere Bitcoin is accepted.  This will eventually be true for all digital and fiat currencies.  I only say this because I know how people are scratching their heads trying to figure out how all these different coins are going to have utility worldwide without their own independent infrastructure.  The answer is simple:  Ripple

Lost access to my original Coinseeker account.  Not sure why.  Either case, this isn't about whether you or anyone supports Ripple or not.  My previous comments are merely fact and the way by which the digital currency world will cope with multiple currencies.  Especially as it relates to merchants.  Without this, it's true, how will merchants accept 100's of different digital currencies?  It's just unrealistic but to say Aurora or any coin has no chance at success because it needs to build an entirely new infrastructure, is simply false.  That was my main point.  Technology exists that will prevent such a need and the only proven tech to date, is Ripple.

I actually miss my ignore status.   It was a badge of honor and yes, you and I disagree on much but our discussions were most often civil.

A lot of people with that brown badge were trying to put some common sense into the zealots.
But people blinded by greed also lose their hearing.

We were here when AuroraCoin first started and we are still here...  after a relentless Botnet attack.   Our pool was being attacked simultaneously by over 350 computers.  We have put another layer of DDOS protection in place and it is working fine.

Our pool has mined most of the AuroraCoins so far.   1184 Blocks x 25 = 29600   .  Our pool has payed out over $740,000 worth of Auroracoins to Miners.    How many AuroraCoins has your pool mined?

Proof is in the Pudding

Please help us rise back up in the ranks and you will be rewarded with a very high performing mining pool.    Give us some of your hashpower and you will see the difference.  


WHY MINE WITH US?

We would never set up multiple pools to compete against each other - this is not good for our customers.  We just increase capacity.

Do you think that ~ $600 USD is a real help for them ?

has all fucking shit to do with helping them financially.

it is designed to give them a different means of exchanging value.

it could be worth less than a penny and that fact would still be true.

developer actually never expected this shit.

he always expected it to be worth much less.

I love how you try to promote other coin while hiding it under a fake interest for auroracoin

Yeah, seriously, IF they intend to be taken seriously, they need to be pushing and promoting implementation NOW

The coin is already operational, why shouldn't they be pushing for it? otherwise nothing more than another Maza P&D.  It's only two weeks
