The idea sounds great, but and an OP with 32 posts holding 50 million coins saying don't worry I'll make sure everyone in the country gets some.




I got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale for 30 million premined auroracoins.   Don't worry I'll make sure I distribute the coins to all the residents of Brooklyn evenly.

Do we know if the government will just ban this from use in Iceland. Is there any communication at all with them to ensure this wont happen?
At current prices, each citizen of Iceland will receive $760 worth of Auroracoin.  I suspect that if a politician tried to ban it, they would find themselves rather unpopular VERY quickly.

so the coin is basically a "bailout" or "gift" or charity for icelands citizens courtesy of a collection of miners and speculators from every other country besides iceland?

Interesting project though. I ll continue to follow it albeit from the sidelines.

0.5% Mandatory Donation fee to a Good Cause

Who Are We?
CharityMiningPools was created to allow miners the ability to mine coins while still knowing that their hashing power is going towards something good.  Our goal is to provide a positive and reliable service while delivering a small portion of the proceeds to a deserving recipient.  Plans are in the works to allow individual miners to choose where they would like to donate to based on a pool of available recipients.

How Does This Work?
All coins minded at CharityMiningPools will require a mandatory 0.5% Donation fee.  This donation fee will be collected and donated to the designated charitable recipient for that given month.  Though we only require a minimum 0.5% Donation fee, we welcome and encourage our miners to raise the stakes and donate more to a good cause.

Cheers!

I had bad experience with disconnects on other pools. CharityMiningPools is STABLE! And ... their fee goes to a good cause!

Miners needed! Go for it ;-)

How do you track your stats on crunchpool?
have a look at the active miners and payouts tabs, look for your address. wait for a few minutes after starting mining for your address to show up. also, given the fact that the pool has grown a lot, share diff is high so you'll get shares accepted once in a while only, not continously so that can make the stats vary a bit. But you're still getting the payouts that correspond to your work.

All these pool have a .1 transaction fee ... WTH with the current transaction rate.. That is just robbery.. why cant the pool operator see this and lower their fee.. with 6mh/s of power I can only mine about 3 AUR per day but the difficulty is increasing, so that already 3% in transaction fees alone.. what to speak of if my back-up pool has only .08 AUR in it...
Use P2pool. Choose node from here: http://aurp2pool.no-ip.org:8084/

Yeah but I don't want to hold this coin.. hence I don't want to spend 8 hours downloading the blockchain for a wallet.. no thanks..
Won't take you more than 8 minutes to download wallet and chain. Or enter address from your favourite exchange.

My internet is only 5mb/s and since already half of the coins have been mined thats a lot of blocks.. And exchanges don't like you to use their address for p2pools..

I need to question the wisdom of declaring something a 'national crypto currency' when there are so many ways it WILL go wrong.

From fraud, identity theft, to various issues with the 'distribution' plan itself, this coin just seems too ambitious for its own good. No matter how much you trumpet the technology behind the crypto currency, we know it can be made vulnerable technically. Not to mention, people may not directly attack the technology for a time being, but DEFINITELY can control or influence those that distribute, trade or own them (human beings).

You are trying to deposit a new currency into a population of an entire country, and you don't even reveal your own identity, or offer up some kind of assurance as to who you are, what you do, etc?

What is the guarantee that this 'airdrop' will actually happen? What if you are simply baiting people into hyping up this coin?

Right now, the coin is valued close to 0.05 btc per AUR. The 'hard fork' is 2-3 weeks away. Iceland's entire GDP is a little over 12 billion USD. are you telling me you are prepared to throw in over 3% of a country's yearly GDP in the form of a relatively young and untested technology and expect little to no serious complications in this 'plan'?

This isn't anything near launching a pretty new coin. It's a whole different game, and your 'plan' sounds flimsy at best as of this moment. Why would any nation 'adopt' a currency of a whole new technology that has proven vulnerable in the past, without any oversight or regulation, as the basis of their economy even by 1%?

Best you can hope for is this coin being valued at 10% of what it is now, which is what the base price was before the hype.

That is, if you are even going through with this ridiculously ambitious plan with little else other than your overly simplistic words. You left out about 1000000 other variables as to why this could not even take off, or go very VERY wrong.

Unless you come forward to reveal who you are, or provide some kind of much MUCH more detailed ideas that address extreme number of variables and problems concerning this idea, there is little to identify this coin from a pump and dump that uses the 'potential' of 'adoption by financially troubled nation' to fill your own pockets.

Answer the numerous concerns listed on this thread. Starting with addressing how this coin could possibly hold a big stake when 99% of the mining power will be off the country.

If you are trying to take advantage of supposed 'bitcoin-friendly and tired-of-fiat-country wants to jump on a logo with nothing else to back it up', and not even bothering to introduce a gravity well in the beginning of the coin, I see all the red flags of a hyped up dump scam with (in joe schmuck public eye) seemingly elaborate plan that 'backs up' your hype - another huge red flag.

Right now, it's either looking like an extremely cheeky scam, or just a very delusional and over-reaching (that's putting it mildly) attempt at some kind of crypto revolution by a lone boy behind a computer. Neither inspires any kind of confidence to replace or even chip at a fiat of a relatively small nation state.



Huge risk but if it works it would be the biggest thing since cryptos, I agree with a lot of your points but there are even more variables than anybody can contemplate. Right now this is just an experiment, I hope it works though because it would be good for cryptos in general.
