I'm happy to see that Balduro stands by his words and deliver the coins.
The Media is going crazy over it

So far we didn't see any crazy dump of coins - I personally think that if you get a present you don't sell it away Smiley (But I do forecast a rollercoaster in the price due to speculators)

Icelandic business have the right attitude to accepting it and merchants tools already functioning... I wonder how the government will react, it can be a big Milestone in the life of Bitcoin

Although the price has not plunged down, it has fallen a bit. I admit I expected an immediate crazy dump of coins.

I want to say its due to High supply but I doubt that new to the bitcoin world know how to convert the money and dump it
They do have website who do it for them : http://auroracoin.com/
you deposit Auroras and get Bitcoins back Smiley

Its probably still pure speculation

This implies auroracoin is already more popular than bitcoin, with 1% adoption. The crypto war against ignorance has been won today. Thanks Balduro. Great idea. Best wishes to you. Many people have ideas, a few get to work to make things happen. You are one of those rare individuals.

I hope that the price of AUR will raise again, I am still a bag-holder, I purchased AUR just before the begin to fall under 0.05
And like me are many others people, which right now want only to recover their investment...

There is a lot more to be done..
The government doesn't like this at all Smiley http://www.coindesk.com/icelandic-parliament-committee-holds-closed-session-discuss-auroracoin/

and there is still not a lot to do with your Auroracoin... so there is need to focus on merchants acceptance

I still can't find any info showing that 1% of Icelanders have gotten there coin (although, that's about 3,000 people so not an all to staggering number, but it's not a small number for sure). It feels to me that if the airdrop was so pivotal, they would allow the display of redemption to be more easily accessible.

I would never invest in a coin with a 50% pre-mine. Good news for the Icelandic people though if true.

Which is the reason it has fallen a bit. Markets always price in the expectations.
