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

[ontopicplease]

Isn't this a premined shitcoin?

YES, 50% premined real scam, better sell if you have some.

[ontopicplease]

I have finished the Auroracoin section.  It will be in the book called Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" (A historical reference book).  Here is the preliminary cover (a better cover is currently being worked on):



The plan is to get the book published before Christmas 2014.  

Here is the Auroracoin preview section:

Any donations towards this future publication are highly welcome.  I would love to see this book become a reality.

Main Book Bitcointalk.org Thread is:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483187.0

Any further points which the community would like to be included in the AUR section need to be messaged to me ASAP.

When you write a positiv section about NobleCoin, I can give you 2,000,000 Nobles whenever the book is released.

I am coming back with egg on my face.  There were many saying this coin was going to go kaput--don't know how i had my blinders on and could not listen to the shouts of "watch out for that cliff", I just couldn't see it, or hear it....WTF do i know about Iceland to begin with ?  LoL  anyhow, live and learn.  I played myself to the tune of a little more than a handful of BTC.  



anyone have any good swamp land they want to sell me ?  jeesh

what s up here? Auroracoin still alive? Are there any devs left?

hard to say. Haven't heard of balduro in a long time. However someone managed to get the second airdrop going (end of july, still in progress, 4500 claims so far. Has ebbed down, though with ~1.4 million AUR claimed. Surprising for most of us: the claim amount was raised 10-fold to 318 AUR per person).

Who knows.. it's a long unlikely shot now and it doesn't look good. Doubt any Icelanders are doing much of anything but selling their airdrop coins.

Ah good old Auroracoin. This was the biggest pump&dump that I had ever seen at that time. Insane. Made good profits.

I think that they only way to salvage this coin is to abort the airdrop and for all the remaining amounts in the pre-mined addresses to be provably destroyed.

+1
a destruction of the remaining coins would be causing a big rally very sure. This coin really needs it by now.

Work is still happening.  The forum isn't very active, but some of the members at forum.auroracoin.org have been moving things forward.  I hear an Icelandic exchange is to come online in September.

I've been checking the auroracoin forum from time to time and it seemed quite deserted.

If work is being done it's mostly "behind the scenes".

I heard about that supposed fiat exchange, too, but it seems unlikely to me because of the legal status of crypto in Iceland and the capital controls in effect there. I think it would be quite hairy to pull off, no?

Don't get me wrong, I still think this coin has a chance. Icelanders can turn around and start using anytime. I just think it's less likely now than it has been in the past.

Well last night i rented some rigs for the Midas fisco and not all of them worked on Midas so i pointed a few to Aurora coin because I like p2pool!

I made something like 3.3 by now and will make a few more coins in the next days .... they are worthless now I know, but maybe one day ....

Yeah, don't write off a coin just because the forum thread dies, I sure hope the original developer is dead tho! :p

AUR was an okay idea- I don't think we had seen fair distribution or real progress towards it. It was all 'talk' 

The only country coin I see succeeding is called phcoin and they left bitcointalk months ago with tremendous updates
through official medium of communications to their community on facebook, twitter, irc, and announcement pages.

The original developer has done his job and has done it rather well, it's the community that failed to pick up what needed to be done. I still have a firm believe in this initiative, but have to say I need to finally see some activity from within Iceland first before I pick up again.

Having said that, I think Balduro eventually really has "broken the shackles". Unfortunately not for Iceland, but for crypto in general. Wishing him dead is the same as praying for the end of Cryptocurrencies, for it's persons like him that pave the way by creating new challenges.

If anything, I would have wished for Icelanders to have picked up this initiative more like my fellow countryman have (NLG).

i think that's right. People probably just waiting for the airdrop to be finished so they aren't dumped on. Once the airdrop is through this coin with the right management in place will be a goldmine.

Why AUR?  there isn't even a community here anymore. When is the last time the devs made an update?

[solex]

When is the last time the devs made an update?

Well, they did move the decimal place on the 2nd airdrop amount. That's at least 1 byte changed.

depends on the representation of the number. IBM made some weird cpus (for banking apps) doing decimal arithmetics natively (yeah, I know, right?!? but it makes sense). But yeah: probably at least a byte.
