The auroracoin blockchain is frozen at 10570. Also the network hashrate is frozen at 7.36 GH/s.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Oh wow. Difficulty started exploding March 8th. (from ~90 to ~500)

Now we seem to be stuck, maybe because that huge mining power left?

(hashrate isn't frozen, it just can't be calculated without new blocks)

Airdrop coins in circulation, 50%

Can you be more specific as to what exactly you are saying?

I think he's saying that:

Just for information for the Auroracoin supporters.

I did some research of one accountname at bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10667896

By accident I noticed that all those accountnames posted in the Aurora thread for accusing AUR being a scam. Therefore I share my information with you, as it would not surprise me if he has lots and lots of other accountnames than the ones I discovered:
venlo
balu2
gustav
voluntarist500
v500
kkoin
forlackofabettername

Good luck with aurora!

The Twitter tipbot is now live: http://auroratip.auroracoin.io/#/.

Test it out with some small amounts of Auroracoin and let me know what you think on the support forum.

not sure how easy it would be to use as drop-in replacement. But when we need to hard-fork anyway to burn the premine, it could maybe be done in one swoop. Or go merge-mining? Thoughts?

Good grief. KGW was to fix one problem and just opens up another.

I say we merge-mine with BTC and be done with this issue.

We don't know an attack on our KGW is actually happening. And if it is, it might be mitigated with a higher hashrate?

Does anybody have the means to record take an aur node and record the local system time of block arrivals? This would probably give us a good idea as to wether we're being attacked or if we have some other problem.

Hmm, actually I just had an idea of how to do this in a hackish, but probably effective way...

I tried this, but when I started analyzing the data I noticed I screwed up the marking of block with arrival time and had to reset the data collection process. I was accidentally marking the blocks in 0:30 second intervals, which is not fine enough for this purpose. I had set arrival time marking to a 1 second interval but forgot that the bitcoin-abe block insertion process interval was 30 seconds ;(.

While doing that I determined the orphan rate to be ~1% recently (last 10000 blocks). I'm not sure if the way I do this is reliable, though.

I think that's an indication against an attack. I'm assuming a timewarp attack would generate quite a few orphans.
