Yes, something went wrong between blocks 5080 & 5081... not sure what. Could be the rumored time warp exploit or some other attack on the network.

MineBIG has jumped in the AUR pool party and i am going to start mining there now.....

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!

That's nice, but I'm not really a fan of these kinds of giveaways as it is way more likely to reward the big players who are already getting most of the block rewards anyway.

blocks are going so slow it is looking like the coin is being hammered again 114 blocks till fork 4 days till airdrop and it will take a week to hit 5200 at the rate blocks are crawling by.

0.25 BTC reward for the next block finder at http://aur.scrypthp.com - lets get through these slow block times and hopefully things will be better after the KGW.

March 17th: A hard fork has been implemented.

    Rules on block timestamps altered
    Forks at block 5400
    Gravity well added
    Block time halved, reward halved, halving time doubled

cool!

is it... opensource?

[balduro]

don't understand, maybe someone can fill me in?

dev stored all the coins at different addresses? But are those addresses all in the same wallet?

Or are you using a different wallet for each individual address to store the coins?






thanks

There are 21 addresses, each containing 500,000 coins. I split it into 21 addresses so I don't need to load all the coins at once into a wallet. As the airdrop progresses I will load coins from these addresses to a hot wallet. I will list all transactions and all unspent outputs of said hot wallet publicly.

Doah 314 blocks left yeah were not making that before the 25th. Especially with it getting stuck I think there are people exploiting the chain.

Beware! Alert! Scam!

Coinpeat.com with Aurora listed in it.

Your deposit Of BTC or Aur will trap in there and harvest by the con artists later if not already done so.
All coins in and no coins out. Period.

They probably will be hunt down by some dudes... I propose Aur should help warning your community to form a chain to prevent more victims like me.


Cheer.

aur blockchain stuck on 5086 now i wish they would let the block chain go or the dev could patch it before the 5400 mark to fix the exploit some groups are using to freeze the blockchain.

The coin distribution does not sound fake.

However, I fail to understand that if 50% of the coins will be distributed to Icelanders, then why are Americans happy about it?

Well, I'm Dutch but maybe Americans are happy about Auroracoin for the same reasons as I am. Most obvious of course would be the personal profitability aspects. But on a far more larger part I'm happy with the prophecy of it's initiative. Iceland is the perfect candidate to actually get an entire economy using cryptocurrency nationwide. If Auroracoin succeeds this will have massive impact on the acceptance of crypto currencies worldwide.

To get back to Americans, if you take some time to study the position of the USD in the near future, you will find out any Americain that is not happy about the prospect of successful integration of cryptocurrency like BTC is just not aware enough...

[YoyodyneSystems]

In terms of the whale that's been buying AUR for weeks :

--- > What if the big prices come AFTER the airdrop time starts instead of before?

I think very few Icelanders are going to be getting their coins in the first week or two.
And even fewer will sell them. So maybe we see a huge price increase after airdrop clocks runs out. Or maybe as 5400 fork time comes up.

Just thoughts.

[Klacik]

one question to balduro and others (about hard fork and the network difficulty)

what's the difficulty going to be after the hard fork at block 5400? is it going to be reset somehow and will be slowly rising (because of KGW), or will it continue with the difficulty -+ of block 5399? i'm just asking because of the constant "locks" of the network at some blocks, and that, if the diff is going to be lets say 4000 at block 5399 and the fork happens, it will not help much to speed up the network and transactions.. in my opinion.. and yes i know, the block time is going to be half the time it is now, but still...

thanks for the answer (hope i'm not asking a question, that was already answered somewhere in this thread)

Well airdrop if successfull will give AUR a big media boost and since it's very few coins it shouldn't harm the price much.

I still fail to understand why inflation is bad.

So what you want here is that if the cost of basic things increases, inflation should not be there to compensate for it's prices, instead the load should be put on the people to manage with whatever salary they get.
