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

[molecular]

So far there are no 31.8 coin sell orders..

hehe. would likely have to be 31.7999 (or 31.8 minus whatever the default fee is), though.

EDIT: how many downloads are you seeing of the android wallet, btw?

I think everyone here realizes that there is NO substantial buy support until you get down to prices at 10% of current price. Anyone or group of people who try to dump any large amount of coins now will have to seriously tank the price. Sure they could put in sell orders at high prices but I just don't see buyers falling for that given everyone is on edge right now curious to see what happens with the airdrop. Time for some more popcorn I guess.

I am confused why some people are claiming that all the Icelanders claiming their coins right now are getting ~$350 equivalent when there is no way more than a hand full could get even close to that if they sold all their coins right now.

[molecular]

I have to say I'm surprised at the number of claims (785 currently).

I'd have expected no more than 100 to 300 claims on the first day to be honest.

At the current rate (3.5 claims per minute) we might even reach 3,200 today, which would be 1% (!!!) of the population. We would have to call that a great success. I'm already inclined to do so now, at least if those claims are indeed not fraudulent.

Is there an actual proof of actual icelanders receiving their coins?

I just got my coins, still waiting for confirmations though.

Has made his account after Auroracoin was announced (new account).

Every person on reddit, claiming that they received their AUR, started posting after Auroracoin was announced too (new accounts).

That's a little bit strange.

That's incorrect, this post is the highest upvoted post on /r/auroracoin from someone who says they claimed their coins.

http://www.reddit.com/r/auroracoin/comments/21a321/im_an_icelander_that_had_my_doubts_about_this/

If you look at their profile, they have been on Reddit for 1 year, they're not "new".

This literally took me seconds to check after reading your post. But you couldn't go to /r/auroracoin and double check your false claims?

If everyone starts to sell them, then you are right.
But if everyone starts to *use* them, then they really can be worth $350 or even a lot more.

I don't know, it is not yet on the shop..

I am already right. Nothing I said is incorrect atm.
Yes. Someone tell everyone to never sell their coins. I am trying to point out that the true value per coin in large lots is not 0.02 BTC or whatever it is atm. It is much less. At most 0.002 or so with this current buy support. Likely even less. Any "use" of them will probably reflect this.

Try to show some imagination. If you have the regulated crypto currency exchange open in New York, and investors can see Icelanders using ATMs and using Auroracoin in shops, then they will pull money out of poorly performing stocks and get in on the new game in town. That will make today's marketcaps look pretty small.

I made those statistics I posted above a live page (updated every minute or so):

EDIT: also, we just hit 1,000 claims

Man you have some serious imagination I will give you that. All I stated was the facts of the current market. Nothing more. Nothing less. I am as curious as the next guy to see what happens here. I just hope the Icelanders don't end up worse off.

Follow the Aurora claims!

http://chainz.cryptoid.info/aur/claims.dws

Also comes with an ISK valuation (based on live data from poloniex & bitpay).

Nice, thx!
(good to see you here molecular:)

Could this be the reason why Iceland would be the greatest country to launch this coin? 

Vodafone Iceland data breach exposed 70000 user personal information

Some rich hackers to be honest.

Wow, 10 claims per minute.

Would you mind adding a "total ..." column under each row?

Hehe, you can claim being the first by a few minutes though

Would you mind adding a "total ..." column under each row?

Totals are available there http://chainz.cryptoid.info/aur/claims.dws along with USD & ISK estimations.

I've also added a population reach (currently 0.004% of Icelanders).

[dspair]

Icelanders use facebook, most don't use reddit. https://www.facebook.com/auroracoin.org/posts/1405092529756891?stream_ref=10

Teachers are on strike, and the kids are staying up claiming coins.

Okay, I'll investigate it.

Well

I think this is bullshit has been reina both SMS route and Facebook and neither works, you are more prone I!

I think you are off by 2 orders of magnitude
