OT. I am wondering why the airdrop numbers have gone from the auroracoin.org page.
Good questions. The airdrop is still ongoing at a decent pace however (cf. http://chainz.cryptoid.info/aur/claims.dws), with a best case reach of 8% of Icelander. I'm guessing that at the moment the easy airdrop targets have been tapped out ie. tech-aware kids, young adults & their parents/relative, and either the airdrop is successfully reaching a broader audience, or some non-Icelanders have found ways to get some drops.

There is some major P&D going on. Someone was pumping today with 35 BTC and guess what... As soon as he placed a buy order at 0.0082 someone dumped 35 BTC worth of aurora on him. Guy must have ripped his hair out. Same thing happed a bit later but with 25 BTC
I think it's the same person. I think he's selling to himself maybe? To flush out everyone. Make a scare. Either that or two whales are fighting each other. Major mind games AND/OR major whale chaos. sell wall at 0.0068 (cryptsy) is slowly getting eaten. Was 35 BTC before, now 17. There seems to be quite some buying power. Keen buyer with 121 BTC chewed up the sell orders between 0.0068-78 OT. I am wondering why the airdrop numbers have gone from the auroracoin.org page. Looks like a DDOS attack? Cloudflare is coming up. That probably disabled the script that shows total coins on the front page or something? Server gets hit so it cannot run normally and services get stopped until attack is over. But ya. That's an educated guess on my part.

Update on the status of the timewarp threat: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=552895Sounds like another hard fork will be needed at some point to apply the fix.

I think 25-35 BTC was the price paid to BCX to do not attack auroracoin and help to fix BCX exploit (Agreement) I think the amount comes from Airdrop part sold, as all we know that the aidrop will never reach 100%, so why do not to use a part to save the coin!

That makes absolutely no sense at all. How could someone selling coins on an exchange used by a bunch of people get sent specifically to another person as a payoff? And why would balduro paying BCX off with airdrop funds (which would be easily proven, anyone can check) make BCX admit that the airdrop seems valid? What is much much more likely to have happened is that BCX ran his attack and through that made a bunch in mining fees. If it worked he should have made far more than that anyway. And then, having proven his point and gotten the dev team to acknowledge that, he was satisfied and has either stopped his attack (already having made some coin) or is no longer pushing it while waiting for the fix to get put in. I hope BCX tries his attack again once the fix is put in, just to test to make sure the fix actually works. I would love to hear confirmation that the fix really solves the problem.

Seems more likely that people are trying to throw more mud on AUR hoping to discourage new and old miners.
AUR has suffered like other alts from the attacks of profit switching pools once it gained some value.
Leaving the coin with high diff and dumping straight away crashing the price.

i think it is time to reduce the block rewards.. manually. reduce it so very significantly. ive only mined 3 aur and bought the rest so dont think this is a ploy. but in light of the kgw flaw, and the concerted effort to crash the coin, i believe the dev would be able to effectively combat those negation efforts by reducing the block reward to something harsh. like .1 aur per block. if icelanders want to sell their 31.8 coins they are welcome to do so.

Significantly reduce block reward, scare off remaining miners, a single GPU rig is enough for 51% attack without KGW exploit... Yeah, totally solid plan.
