Does anyone know how "Airdrop" will be done? How they will validate their identity?

There are 320 000+ residents. Who will be doing all those verifications? This need really big team. Who will pay them? Who really is dev of this coin?

I know about registry but how they will validate that? How this proccess will be secure against ID fraud?
By "Airdrop blueprint", stage 1 will be 4 months, it is 122 days. So they need verificate 2 623 residents daily.   Shocked
Why is dev shaddow man. Domain auroracoin.org is registered to WhoisGuard, Inc. in Panama. Why?

Well, it is an ambitious idea for sure.  The WhoisGuard is not surprising though.  With the intention of completely replacing the country's fiat, it is a good idea for the creators to not be known.  Otherwise, they are a target.




Could not agree more Sharky. Very clever devs, preying on greed and stupidity like every other scam coin. I cannot fathom that anyone thinks that a country would replace its currency with a crypto. The infrastructure needed would be incredible and the government would never, never, never, allow it. And how would it deal in foreign exchange? Foreign direct investment? Everyone here thinks that a large % of the population is like us and reads forums and is on reddit when in reality it's a tiny %. What percentage of people in Iceland will actually hear of this coin or actually get their "airdrop"? If the "airdrop" even exists?

I wish I could short this coin. It will plummet so quickly.

In reality, this coin does not have to succeed in replacing Iceland's fiat currency.  If it can garner interest by a large group of the population, and in turn give them an introduction into digital currencies as a whole through free coins (that, currently, they can actually trade for a decent amount of BTC and cash out into their native fiat if they so choose), then it will be a boon for the entire digital currency community.  Everyone wins.  The more people that become involved in digital currency, the closer we get to hitting the critical mass required to go mainstream.

I agree with both of you really, this could be a complete scam but there again it might not be.. for now the coin is getting noticed and it has HUGE potential.

who knows. Look at kiev right now. Everyone is praying for bitcoin (even the ones who don't even know what bitcoin is and that the fluctuation may be much worse than their own currency, lol)

    It is possible to apply for ID numbers on forms found on the following websites. The application form must be printed out, signed and sent in by mail.

Application form in Icelandic (pdf, 415 kb) (PDF file)
Application form in English (pdf, 100 kb) (PDF file)

    A photocopy of the passport of the person for whom the ID number is requested must accompany the application, and the name of the person or company which is asking for the registration must also be provided.

Applications may be sent by fax to the National Registry at (+354) 569-2949, or in the mail to the following address:

Þjóðskrá (Opens in new window) (National Registry)
Borgartún 24
150 Reykjavík

Foreign citizens who have been issued an ID number by the National Registry but have not been issued a residence permit by the Directorate of Immigration are recorded only in a temporary registry and acquire no rights until a residence permit has been issued to them and they have a domicile.

This means we can all apply for Icelandic ID number?

I'm going to create a coin next to replace Zimbabwe's currency...  Who is with me?

This is the most insane thing I have ever read.  The best part is people are actually buying into this??
What is insane about utilizing technology to give people choice and empower them? 

I personally don't think Auroracoin will REPLACE the Krona, but I do believe it will be widely adopted and put enormous pressure on Icelandic politicians who have been destroying the Krona to change their ways. 

That's why bitcoin was created...

But when you say hey, this is just for a specific country...  You give the "governments" a good reason to outlaw or eradicate it!

I think Iclanders have kicked out their gov two time in the last 6 years.. Because it was'nt doing their way !   I'm I correct ?
