Topic: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland - page 258. (Read 506409 times)
I really love this idea and the potential here. I moved my miners though due to the fact that there is no block explorer yet. This is key in gaining the trust of miners, whom are gonna be needed for the network if all goes as planned by balduro. I get that there is not an emphasis on promoting it for exchanges and all that, but at the very least we need some foundation to stand on.
no new orphans on aur.cryptoculture.net since Feb 8... it looks like we're in the clear.

So is the difficulty going to drop drastically? Why does my pool say current difficulty 29 and next difficulty change in a whopping 700+ blocks is expected to be around 2?
The pool is not displaying the estimate correctly. Diff has been going up constantly no matter what the estimate for the next diff says.
Here's the actual difficulty values (stored in the blockchain) from around the last 48 hours.
Pool estimates are way off, possibly because the retarget period is set incorrectly (it appears to be 8 blocks)

The coins are stored in 21 addresses, 500,000 coins in each. As the airdrop progresses coins from an address will be added to a hot wallet on the dispensing server. You will be able to monitor these addresses as soon as there is a block explorer available. Someone should make a block explorer.
These are the addresses:

Forget the Dev. Just buy/sell and keep mining.- Enjoy it!

Hi all!
This coin seems to have a great opportunity in succeeding as well as Bitcoin. A large part of this is dependent on the Airdrop which has to reach all/most of the population of Iceland, which remains to be seen. I do not see how this could not be possible as long as the pre-mined coins are distributed as told. But for this to happen the coin need strong support from it's miners for the time being. There are some who are eager to make a quick buck with selling their Auroracoins before the launch at a pretty low price compared to Bitcoin. This will force the value of the coin down, just like all the other coins out there. Why not instead demand a high price of the coin which would benefit more then just one person? This will also force people to mine the coin and build a foundation for this currency. That being said I fell everyone participating in mining some Auroracoins still has the opportunity to get coins compared to Bitcoin which is out of reach for the most of us.
I guess the reason for creating the Auroracoin is to give the banksters a run for their money. This can only be achieved if the coin gains a significant value from the start. If the coin gets a high value from start it will gain significant publicity, which in turn will result in that the community of Iceland will probably accept it as a payment method. It seems as a "win-win" situation for all of the people using the coin. Others have also suggested using a crypto-currency for Iceland(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CCpj_myGOs). Auroracoin could be a "first of an kind".

A nice thought but even 100aura to 1BTC is extremely generous, imagine hypothetically speaking that 1AUR will be worth 1BTC; everyone in Iceland will be given 30ish coins instantly valued at 30 BTC, the first thing they'll do is go straight to exchange and sell for some much needed IRL monies, even 0.3BTC for nothing is still very generous imo considering that the population of an entire country is about to be given $250ish each.
I think the coin has been poorly developed based on the fact that it is taking 24 hours to get confirmations, this creates a slightly inhospitable environment for miners. Additionally the community of this coin is extremely small and appears to be uncaring of its 'purpose', this however is not down to the community itself but to the developers which have done nothing to promote or encourage such a culture- all about removing the Icelandic from the chains of banks.
The developer released the coin without pools, without wallets, without exchange and without any plans/word of how he intends to achieve his vision, just "wait for the 25th March guys in the mean time i'll let you develop the infrastructure for me whilst I stay anonymous." He's operating completely from the shadows on a coin with 50% premine, very suspicious.
I am pretty sure it was in fact released with a pool and a wallet. Just on http://www.auroracoin.org at first. In fact there is still no link from the ANN page to the wallet. But the wallet from the website is a self install exe. of the QT. Places it right in the program files. Seems like it is being developed to be user friendly to a nation, not necessarily caring much about whether a ton of people on Bitcointalk jump into mining it or endorsing it. The dev has specifically said on twitter that you can do what you want with the mined coins, but to not put the organizations name on any request to be placed into exchanges. This coin is very interesting in concept and has enormous potential. But I do agree, it could easily be a scam in the magnitude of $100 million for the dev by the time April 1st hits a week after the "airdrop." My gut is telling me to pick a few of these up in the meantime.
But if Islanders will attach some value and will start to use Auroracoin people from other countries will also attach the value.
This is exaclty the point.
(If not a scam), the success of this coin depends on adoption in iceland.
It happened before in Iceland (a private currency replacing the government one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CCpj_myGOs#t=802
Very nice story indeed. Vouchers issued by a construction company for "a qubic meter of concrete" came to be used as currency and at one point were even accepted by the government as tax payment ("they had use for it").
So this is entirely possible.
Of course there are myriads of failure modes for this experiment, but I like it, will follow it closely and am investing some time and money already
.(clarification on handling of premined funds and the airdrop would be very appreciated)
Hi, i'm interested in buying some aurora coins, pm me if you're selling. By the way i'm new on this forum, and to crypto currencies. One correction on something i saw, monthly average income is not 40k krona in iceland, bu 400k krona (i'm from iceland).
sorry edited as pm
