In 40 Hours already 4% of Iceland's population claimed their Auroracoins

You guys do know DDOSing a site is illegal, and you can go to jail for quite some time over it. If BCXpress is really doing it, report him to authorities please.

when will this shitcoin gimmick finally collapse? how did it even get 1/100 of the market cap it has. hoping to to see bagholders at dawn

I just signed up this forum today being a newcomer to Crypto-currency (I'm an Icelander who got coins through the airdrop). It is really sad to see the amount of negativity and destructive mindset that a lot of people here have. In fact i've never seen anything like it on other forums ( I frequent forums about all kinds of things, music, films, architecture etc.).

Peace and love from Reykjavik

count for yourself
http://auroraexplorer.atorox.net/chain/AuroraCoin?count=2016&hi=5379

i'm not going to enter each block and screen the 31.8 transactions
Airdrop started at 25/3/2014 block 5259

So you don't know how many 31.8 transactions per block there are.

How did you count them then?

I counted the total number of transactions most of them are these 31.8

Doing it manually will take me ages

Your are joking. The number of transactions of 31.8 AUR are much fewer than the total number!!!

Just have a look at any block!!

Also only the transactions with output of 31.8 count.

There are people getting several times 31.8. Just have a look at this:

People getting several times 31.8 are people claiming the 31.8 for family members and friends.  Friend of mine collected both for himself and his wife into the same account.

This scene has disproportionate amount of people who'd still be 24/7'ing redtube and 4chan in their mommas basements if they didn't happen to stumble upon bitcoin back when it was pennies. Gaining easy unearned wealth tends to get to people's heads especially the feeble minded and they become to think of themselves as entitled and others as undeserving. Also, when it's about money, more competition takes attention away from their investments and they just hate seeing someone else succeed even if it would eventually help their own success as well.

Given the demographic here comparing this forum to music/film/architecture forums, the difference can be dramatic.

auroracoin website is down?

[Anotheranonlol]

what's up with all the shills registering..or supposed 'local icelandic auroracoin advocates just making their first foray into cryptocurrency section, all seem pretty knowledgable.lol  did dev hire pr agency or this just concerted effort by a couple of bagholders

[kalus]

shills and bagholders are the most entertaining feature about this coin.  that, and the extremely long block confirmation times. 

also, the fraud.

auroracoin website is down?

It's working now. It currently says

532141.2 Airdrop coins in circulation, 5.07% of a total 10,500,000 Airdrop coins.

[dissident]

cryptos are dying, there's nothing inherently superior about using them for an american at least, maybe if you are doing something illegal or in a country that is oppressive, but the shitcoin explosion, constant volatility, and constant presence of scammers and profit mongers killed any crypto interest I might have.  Basically all shitcoins are worthless to me, and I'll only get into bitcoin if it gets back under 150 bucks each.

These coin makers can say anything they want, but the truth is they are just going to take the money and run.

thanks.  wanted to see if the developer had responded on their forums about the blockchain problem.

weird that the developer was notified weeks ago about a possible flaw, yet chose to do nothing about it. 

[eightspaces]

The dev team had no long term plans for this coin.
The goal was to make it to the air drop and cash out the laundered coins.
They just didnt plan on the "obstacles" to the easy money.
~BCX~

[toknormal]

When the coin was released, the devs bought them up and artificially drove the price up to $95.00 each and then extrapolated that across the entire premine which was not in circulation

If they did do that then it was a very clever promotional strategy that worked.

Although BitcoinEXpress makes some interesting conjectures, the overall garbage level of his posts is too high.

According to "Morgunbladid", 5000 had already collected their quote 3 days ago. That was 2% of the population back then.

People have actually started using it for trading second hand goods...

How come the Auroracoin holders are so willing to be effectively funding the free-money-to-Icelanders airdrop?

When you hit ignore on BCX and all his fake accounts, the average IQ of this forum doubles. Try it.
