Coin definitely has potential, but it is way way overpriced at this point. Only a few days old, and very few details have emerged.
Overpriced? LOLLLLL. Oh man, I needed a good laugh.
Let's examine the facts here:
Maza has about 9x as many coins as aurora...yet aurora is 3500x more expensive per coin. Yes, 3500x.
Maza has an actual legitimized dev with a public identity, and the people of the tribe do as well. The legitimacy of the coin is as transparent as day, and it will already go down in the crypto history books as the first adopted currency of a nation.
Auroracoin has an anon developer (whom rumor has it doesn't even live in Iceland, nor does he reply in his own thread)...and an outlandish, contrived plan to somehow 'deliver' coins to each and every citizen in a huge country. He also holds over 50 percent of the total coins that will ever be made. Yeah...sounds legit. Even in the event that somehow, someway the actually has legit intentions...this country also has politicians that frown upon bitcoin.
I think the decision is clear. Just wish I would have gotten in early, but I will gladly bump this thread in a month when this stuff is hovering at anywhere between 50 cents and 1 dollar PER COIN. Whomever doesn't get in on the action now will be kicking themselves relentlessly in just a short while.
