I get the feeling auroracoin is gonna be the dump of the century

6 days til the supposed airdrop, less than 1,500 likes on their facebook page, twitter with less than 3,000 followers so I can't see the majority of the nation claiming their coins as planned = lots of pre-mined coins going begging.

How exactly are you going to verify people? I've seen mention of something which the majority of the country haven't even signed up to, or asking for copies of I.D which opens this up for a massive identity theft risk.

It's all too foggy, and reeks of scam.

If he was going to dump the pre-mine that would have happened already. There are people scanning the pre-mine addresses
automatically and will post here if the coins are moved from pre-mine.
Pretty sure they said many times it could takes months or a year even to get coins out to everyone.

And while you all complain and cry... I watch the price rising to make some money.

Maybe you're right, kudos if you are, and grats for profiteering from trading in AUR.

I'm hardly crying about it, it's no skin off my nose as I don't own a single AUR, don't intend to, was just posting how I see it

Maybe he's waiting for the volume in buy orders to pick up to make the most he can, maybe he's waiting til the 'air drop' so nobody will be suspicious when coins start moving out of those wallets, or maybe it's actually legit (although I'm seeing little evidence so far to support this)

I do find it odd however that with 6 days before this supposed drop there is still no concrete confirmation of how it is going to work, and despite the coin seemingly making the press & being discussed by their parliament the lack of interest their nation is taking in it but people are buying at 0.02 when that price will plummet if the air drop fails or those pre-mine coins mysteriously make their way onto an exchange.

That, and this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522354.0

no idea of legit or not, a quick search reveals nothing but this bitcoin talk post quoted at bottom

Auroracoin - The Payment Choice of CryptoLocker Ransomeware[/u]
It wasn't me but this shit is genius. I highly suspect the Icelandic authorities hired a crew to do this as the resources needed to do this, this quickly are huge.

Somebody took a version of CryptoLocker 2.0, you know the nasty little ransom ware variant that encrypts all your valuable files and uses asymmetrical encryption that requires you to buy the private key when you submit the public key and combined it with Auroracoin. The ransome payment addresses are the premine wallet addresses LOL...In addition it also has a wallet stealer and keylogger.

What's worse, it's being distributed via a large botnet in Eastern Europe and ESET is already on it. Meaning in just a few short days every major anti-virus software will be screaming like a scalded dog when anything AUR gets near any Windows machine that has auto updates.
It's not a hackjob of Cryptolocker, it's a whole new version.
Good luck with the air drop.

Funny how people keep talking about not getting confirmations and even the coinedup exchange commented on it.  Apparently everyone is unaware of BCX's tests... He may actually be getting a result (freezing the block chain for everyone and mining coins at zero difficulty).

If anyone hasn't noticed it appears someone else is already testing a TW exploit and slowing the AUR chain down.
Hence the chain slowing to a crawl in the absence of proportional diff increases.

Keep in mind, anything that is limited to the cpu level of mining will totally owned by the botnetters as soon as any coin becomes profitable.
I made a killing with XPM.

Damn, you're right.  Idiots run Windows boxes and continually get Pwned by botnets.

It appears you may be right (in re to comment I'm replying to)

Sounds like BCX making stuff up to appease his vendetta against Auroracoin.

On our pool http://pool.auroracoin.fr, he next blockfinder will win an extra bonus of 1 Auroracoin.
Don't wait more, join us.

I am running a P2Pool node in Germany:

    fast internet connection
    Debian Server equipped with SSD, tuned for low latency
    no fee (0%)


How to connect:
Server = http://78.47.241.34:12347
Username = your AUR wallet address
Password = choose a whatever random password

Frontend:
http://78.47.241.34:12347/static

Complete p2pool list:

http://78.47.241.34:8084

Highlights:

    No registration, start mining directly
    Lightweight pool frontend, responsive design also perfect for browsing with tablet or smartphone
    Node heartbeat live displayed on frontend, updating every 10 seconds also on smartphone and tablet PC
    Fast and direct payments (PPLNS) into your wallet instead of a central wallet managed by someone you don't know
    Decentralized network, harder to attack
    Transactionfee's in a block will also by payed to all miners in the pool
    Switch between different p2pool nodes without penalty. Payments will continue, they are all connected --> just setup another P2Pool node or two as backup


Hints to succes:
You will receive small payments very soon, these payments will get higher as longer you run on P2Pool. You should mine at least 24 hours to get an idea.
You should consider mining this pool if you have a minimum hashrate of 1 Mh/s. Lower hashrates are not recommended because it's not efficient. If you have a lower hashrate you should think about using a normal pool.

You will have more stales/rejects, around 10 ~ 20% is normal with P2Pool technology. You may have to play with the intensity. With P2Pools you should normally lower your intensity one or two steps down. Just look at the accept/reject rate.

happy mining & enjoy payments

is just me, or Cryptsy and mintpal stop trading?

[Blisk]

[frozeman]

i ask myself the same:

[fairglu]

Is is just me or the blockchain is stuck at block 5080?

At the time of this post this was 5 hours without a new block according to my client and various block explorers.

edit: 5081 just appeared, with a massive gap to 5080, what happened?

To help with the long block times I'm having a 0.25 BTC give away for the next block finder at http://aur.scrypthp.com lets get through these rough times and hopefully have smooth mining once the hard fork occurs!

@balduro what is you stance on the following announcement, as i see this as very threatening?!

[illodin]

KGW exploit was fixed in many coins some time ago, including AUR.

But, just in case, take screenshots and other documentation of your wallet balances and exchange value of AUR so you know the $ amount of possible damages caused. Perhaps periodically backup the blockchain as well.

Any other ideas what to collect/backup to help the possible investigation if something should happen?
