This article about the coin (and the history of cryptocurrensies) was just published in one of Iceland's biggest news site.
So this thing has officially gone viral over here. People I've loosely talked to about cryptocurrencies suddenly want to know more :lol:
Topic: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland - page 265. (Read 506409 times)

Your name looks like it's taken straight from the Edda, so got to be legit.
I like the idea though (who can't love something Icelandic?), but how will you give the coins to every Icelander?
If they need to claim them, I would be really surprised that every Icelander is on this forum and will read this topic and will claim the coins.

Fascinating experiment.
Mining now.
What will be needed at the time of airdrop are aggregated quotes so that writers can quote a price range for what the giveaway is worth.
If exchanges are trading aurora coin by then, that should be easy; otherwise bid/ask from forums will have to suffice.
I would love to see the developers announce plans for the unclaimed sums other than personal profit. I'm all for them making some coin for the orchestration but at some significant portion of unclaimed coins after a year or so going to charitable organizations in iceland would lend credence and good PR to the movement.
Boring alt coins are boring. This one has a great idea behind it.
Nothing grabs people's attention like free money.

cool, but i think a 100% POS coin initially distributed like this would be an idea.
AuroraCoin is now up for voting on AllCrypt.com!

Very interested!
I'm willing to sell some. The supply is quite low. The Airdrop is 31.8 AUR per person, I guess I'll sell for 0.0412 BTC per Airdrop.
All the best with this coin. Could have a very positive impact!
Hoping to buy some when available.

What's the price right now and where can I buy?
This is starting to gain some coverage. I'm excited about it. Once I get my mining rewards I'll do some giveaways in this thread.
Great first attempt. But I'm going to call a fail on this one as it doesn't meet neutral control .
Should have been at least 90% premined with a verification of about one year.
Then should have had an EQ reward.
Scrypt is not bad as everyone can technically participate but much better would be either CPU ie Quark or actually Sha256 this way Icelanders would have been able to buy ASICs at least.
A 50% premine and a fixed cap means that the "other" 50% can still be owned by large GPU farms or ASICs.
Think about if the Government issued debt free currency they wouldn't issue just 50%
That's where you are missing an official "inflation" rate .
So close but no cigar, does not mean I still wont participate , you essential will have created a type of Bitcoin .

If you want to learn more about neutral Control have a read also if you are legit and want help or advice with this project Pm me.

I´m in.
@balduro:
a) What´s the marketing concept to get the citizens involved? Any concrete plans?
b) Any PR partnerships (TV, radio, newspapers) are arranged already? They got notice from your project already?
c) How many devs/founders? Or it´s just a one man show?
d) How do you like to reach average Joe without any crypto knowledge?
e) What will be happen with the unclaimed coins from the 50% pre mined coins (I suggest to spread all of them to the participants with an deadline)?

so great idea. I just read an article on one of the best german IT websites about your coin: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Kryptogeld-Auroracoins-fuer-jeden-Islaender-2106335.html
congrats so far
really great idea - EPIC!!!

I'm interested in this. Everything starts out as an experiment and we always learn something new about crypto when stuff like this happens.
The premined coins will be distributed to the entire population of Iceland, commencing on midnight 25th of March 2014.
OMG, that would be so FUCKING AMAZING!
Great idea, very crazy, good luck!
(iceland is very little, very interconnected and very geeky - so maybe it will work ...)
Is the launch on march, or is it possible to mine before?
