... "Your Money will be Replaceable with Physical Gold
"AurumCoin is a modern, cutting-edge digital coin that works according to the gold standard monetary system.
This means that each AurumCoin will be replaceable with solid gold by third parties."
"AurumCoin – The first decentralize open source cryptocurrency to be a stable coin, replaceable with physical gold: CoinMarketCap"
...
"AurumCoin (AU) Target Price :
Every step is taken with the consent of the community and users
Target 1: 1AU = 1 gram gold – Achieved
Target 2: 1AU = 1 ounce gold ( 1oz gold )
After this step we start gold-backing using market makers
Target 3: 1AU > 1BTC
Target 4: 1AU=1KG gold
Change gold-backing ratio"
They not claim that the coin is you can now replace to gold but that the concept is a stable gold standard crypto replaceable to gold by third parties. I do not see this negative, open source decentralized crypto currency with different concept.
they also say:
"Good news: CoinExchange is back .To ensure no hacking again, coinexchange demands 500 approvals for deposit. Make 51% attack for 500 approvals is much more expensive."
they truly wants the success of the coin and every currency even usd needs a community.
this is the bitcointalk group of Aurumcoin(AU) and we all need to support this coin or leave the group. this coin had ups and downs but its concept is solid like gold
so Aurumcoin(AU) will reach its destiny with our community support.
So what is the advantage of buying a coin that is not backed by gold that requires "market makers" later buy the gold. It is not some sort of magical event.
It either means that your holdings are reduced or that the value is reduced.
What makes you think that a coin that cannot keep its blockchain secure and won't re-emburse investors for the exploit of their code will magically buy Gold to back the crypto with and who is going to ensure that you can actually claim the gold ?
A coin where most of the listed pools no longer work, all but one of the listed block explorers no longer work, all but one listed exchanges no longer list the coin, devs are no-where to be found, price is regularly manipulated, mining reward is not enough to secure the network, support is virtually no existent, blockchain can easily be exploited and requires 10 hours for a transfer (500 confirms).
In my opinion it is a ponzi that will only ever result in an exit scam payout for those that sold the idea.
You can already buy "virtual gold" that is tradable and backed by real gold through the Perth mint witha location where real gold can be picked up. Why trust some annon devs on some promises ?
https://www.aurumcoin-au.com/pools.html500 confirms won't stop a 51% attack on this coin. The mining rewards are too low to encourage competing hashrate.
According to my calculations based on difficulty there is less than 0.168 PH on the aurumcoin network. It fluctuates between 0.1 - 0.6 PH based on the difficulty reported.
For a guaranteed success you can hire 1 PH for less than $100
In the meantime a deposit will take over 10 hours to confirm.
If they do it for 1000 blocks it won't be detected for some time either.
As soon a s the wallets opened the price plummeted.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aurumcoin/historical-data/There is no real demand. $6000 of coins get sold and causes the price to plummet from $31.68 to a low of $1.92
