Do you think we are all retarded? Yes, we know there is a national ID system. We know what information is in it.
What you should have had, before a single coin was mined, was a detailed plan you could give to an Icelander about how they will get coins. Step by step, no hand-waived half-assed explanations. A fucking pamphlet you give to someone treating them like they are in kindergarten, with nice full-color cartoons with each step of what they will do to get their coins.
Here's just a few questions that we don't know, that would be nice to be answered instead of being hand-waived away with a condescending comment:
Will there be a website doing automated live checks of the database directly? If so, what are all of the implementation details? What information will each citizen need to prove their identity? Each Icelander has access to this database, so how can it possibly be used as an authentication mechanism to prove identity?
If automatic checks won't be used, will people have to wait while a person checks each individual request?
Will people get physical objects with instructions for redeeming coins? If so, what? What materials will be used? Who will do it? Where's the money to buy all this material coming from?
You people want ME to do homework? You're the one who wants to make this work. This shouldn't even be an issue! You should have had full-proof step-by-step plans an idiot could follow before day 1.
If you supporters are actually for real then I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. You are trying to supplant a national currency, on an arbitrary deadline, without exact implementation details worked out ahead of time. You want to take away a government's seigniorage and control of the money supply. That alone will make this really fucking difficult, not even accounting for everything else. This task requires more than a few bronies half-assing it while constantly high on marijuana.
You people really need to calm your shits down. It's an experiment, we're taking risks to see where this pushes us. If everyone sat on their butts complaining on forums all day the world would move backwards with the stupidity spewed on here. Some people are in it for the payout, some are in it cause they believe in the cause, some just wants to see a real world case for crypto. There's many reasons why people might be interested in Aurora, and your smart ass sitting behind the computer making all your observations is doing nothing to push anything forward. It's people like you who can only sit there and say it's too difficult...therefore you should scrap it...don't even try...it's a waste of time. While people like us work hard to surpass that mindset and move the world onto new things. Just know that you're not doing anything by pointing out the flaws that have already been stated. Provide solutions, ideas, use your brain. If you're not here for that then why bother. The reality of tomorrow is built on the dreams of today. Maybe get your head out of your ass and contribute your time to something that betters our world. Maybe go figure out how to solve world hunger...war...etc. We'll handle aurora, don't think we need your help.
