I have been in close contact with Balduro from the beginning. It has always been clear to me that his plan was to launch this project and setup the initial parameters, but he also made it clear he was not intending to run or manage things forever. He wanted to create a community that would take over for he was trying to make this a truly decentralized coin. That's why I still believe he will deliver on his promise to destroy the pre-mine once this community has proven to be able to be selfsupporting. This is what will happen shortly as Dinobotta described above...

Still, if nothing happens in a decent timeframe, we also have the opportunity to rule out the pre-mine addresses during the inevitable hard fork. So either way, we're good...

Interesting to see you here as well. I am looking around a bit, this last week, a bit tired of that nationcoin we were both interested in. Actually I am still am, when things change. I really hated the way the devs treated you, after doing so much for the coin. Btw,  I am still holding some aurora and after seeing you here, I am holding even longer, I guess. I really like your marketing performances. Something else, I found another interesting cheap coin MAGI (xmg) which looks very good, I think. At the moment, I am unloading the nationcoin ( you know which one I am talking about) a bit and investing in MAGI.
Well, best of luck with your projects.

I sent you a PM about buying your coins. Please let me know. Smiley

Don't buy Guldencoin mate, the Dutch could of ruled the world but those pricks are there own worst enemies. They don't need enemies when they have each other.

Hi Ontopicplease! And welcome back to Auroracoin! I have been a firm supporter here from zero hour, so it shouldn't be a surprise to find me here ;-)

In relation to that other coin, I can say that I have committed to that as well and still am. I support both coins for the same reason, and that's because I believe they are the ones truly capable of getting Cryptocurrency accepted and adopted in the daily lives of people in their country. Their dev team might have some challenges in communicating, but that in no way is going to demise my motivation to help that coin to succeed as well.

Wow, a crypto initiative that feeds of the alleged failure of others..... not interested, good luck!

Your statement is far from the truth.

Many here in the forum have been the victims of a "Pump&Dump" scheme, or have been benefited of it.

The idea behind the animation is to show in a humorous way this phenomenon.

Please keep the positive spirit.

There is no intention to insult any of those other projects.

Have a lovely day !

I'm sure that Balduro will do the right thing, regarding the premined coins.

wanna make a bet?

I would love to be able to hedge against him not doing the right thing Wink


OK  Grin

I'm betting 1000AUR on Balduro making the right thing.

He has two options to do the things right:
1) he will burn the premine
2) he will equally distribute the remaining premined coins to the 1 stage airdrop addresses.

make that BTC 0.06 (currently equals AUR 1000) and give me a date until Balduro has to have done 1) or 2) and I'm in. gentlemans bet?


Perfect, I'm totally in. Deadline 31/03/2015, 23:59. BTC 0.06

Perfect.

Give me some time to react, though. I'll be travelling at the time.

EDIT: timezone of your date? UTC?
OK. Iceland time zone GMT Smiley

couple hours left, but I'll be travelling for a few days and have to go now, so I'm posting prematurely:

looks like I won the bet, rocanonz?

Yes, you won the bet!
Please PM a BTC adress.

received, thank you!

Balduro delivered all what he promissed. Do we need a "coup d'etat" after the airdrop? Does this make a good story for the coin?
I might be wrong but I suspect the reason why the premined coins are not burned is the lack of Auroracoin Foundation or the initialy proposed Icelandic Criptocurrency Society.
The foundation was a part of the plan right from the begining (one year ago) and I hope will be established soon.
Ask yourself why the coins are not burned yet?

The Auroracoin Foundation (Auraráð in Icelandic) was created last Sunday. I think Skarfurinn will file in the papers to the government registry tomorrow or perhaps he filed them today, not sure.

The foundation papers have been submitted and I have gotten a verification that they are being processed. Smiley
This is great news! Smiley

This came in from the government today:
http://eng.forsaetisraduneyti.is/news-and-articles/reform-of-the-monetary-system
and
http://www.forsaetisraduneyti.is/media/Skyrslur/monetary-reform.pdf

The government is putting forth ideas regarding changing the monetary system. If this goes through, banks will no longer be able to create money out of thin air, but they are trusting the Central bank to do the money printing and then the government will spend the money into the economy.

If they are looking for a radical monetary change, maybe the rest of the auroracoin premine should be controled by the icelandic government...

Interesting read, but the proposed monetary system has some flaws... banks are reduced to administrative accounting institutions (they don't really handle the money anymore) and a party could potentially have a strong influence in the government and the money creation group (or have pawns at those places), which would mean unlimited free money for that party (and another financial crisis).

@LTEX, any info on how you want to achieve point 2? Are you just going to forbid the transfer from that/those address(es)?

Yup, that's the plan ;-)

You mentioning that he hasn't been on the forum for a long time... did someone contact him? In case he was just busy with more important IRL things.

Baldur is reading this forum, I'm sure. He removed the airdrop page and also rerouted auroracoin.org to http://auroraspjall.is/ on the 24th of March, which has been talked about on this forum.

I agree, this is a flawed system, like I pointed out in my post: "I'm not sure if this is in the right direction or not. This kind of system will only move the money printing corruption into the political arena, where politicians pick the people who decide how much money the Central bank should print and then they, the politicians, spend it into the economy."

I have not been following this coin for awhile, if he has been keeping to his word then wait it out.
Look he's not lying when he says he will destroy the premine because he never gave a date and time. So it might get destroyed tomorrow or next month or next year or next decade.

He would not be lying technically, but this is ridiculous, of course.

Reasonable assumption is that the premine is to be destroyed (if it is in fact destroyed) shortly after the airdrop ends. There is no reason to safekeep it for any amount of time (other than for technical or administrative reasons) before destruction. So any delay beyond reasonable technical or administrative reasons is indication that the premine will not be destroyed or Balduro hasn't decided yet what to do.


Surely someone knows Balduro personally outside the forums.  If not, has anyone doxed him to find him IRL?

A simple phone call or knock on his door for answers is better than sitting here worrying about the unknown.  Go straight to the source.

A radical change would be if the monetary authority was not in the hands of a select few, but in the hands of the people at large (aka: free market money).

I don't think that would work... Bitcoin is a nice proof of this (not the only one though).
