I see blocks are typically found every couple minutes, but today two blocks were over 2 hours. These blocks had a larger number of transactions in them.
What is the connection between block size and time to discover?

transactions happen all the time, so if a block takes 2 hours to mine it's obviously going to have a ton of transactions, all those made during a 2 hour period, instead of the few transmitted during the normal period of a few minutes. What is the connection between block size and time to discover?

Yeah, don't write off a coin just because the forum thread dies, I sure hope the original developer is dead tho! :p
AUR was an okay idea- I don't think we had seen fair distribution or real progress towards it. It was all 'talk'
The only country coin I see succeeding is called phcoin and they left bitcointalk months ago with tremendous updates
through official medium of communications to their community on facebook, twitter, irc, and announcement pages.
The original developer has done his job and has done it rather well, it's the community that failed to pick up what needed to be done. I still have a firm believe in this initiative, but have to say I need to finally see some activity from within Iceland first before I pick up again.
Having said that, I think Balduro eventually really has "broken the shackles". Unfortunately not for Iceland, but for crypto in general. Wishing him dead is the same as praying for the end of Cryptocurrencies, for it's persons like him that pave the way by creating new challenges.
If anything, I would have wished for Icelanders to have picked up this initiative more like my fellow countryman have (NLG).
Auroracoin was designed to fail. It was one of my first looks at cryptocurrency and I was very excited when I heard about the project. I had visited Iceland the previous summer and of course had fallen in love with the place. "Awesome!" I thought, and then I read... I read news articles in the BBC that hadn't been sourced, merely passed on, I read that the development was taking place on the mainland, even weeks into the project none of the people I knew and contacted in Iceland had heard of it. Consider this... Boots on the ground, merchants being set up to use, an informed population, none of this was being done. Here's a very VERY telling fact... there was a huge rush just to get the system in place for the first air-drop, and days before it was to happen, the software was just being written.
Why
The
Hurry.
There can be no reason other than to foster a sense of urgency, panic, and just 'get-er-done!" and think later. The whole thing was done without any planning whatsoever, no consultation, no talking to merchants, business-people, and they hadn't even contacted the local small but there cryptocommunity.
Just remember "The Producers", built to fail, just like Urocoin.
AWESOME! 
Iceland is not so easy to understand.
From what I know, they are hard working, fair and open mind people.
They don't need auroracoin or bitcoin to be wealthy. They accomplish this some time ago.
Auroracoin is about the moist priceless thing: freedom

We live in a surreal time when the language of commerce has been allowed to fashion far too many aspects of our social existence. Cities are not brands. They are living entities: eco-systems in relation to which humans have evolved modes of living which in turn have accumulated history. Neither history nor geography is incidental. Neither can be wished away. We can try to re-image the world as though what already exists were of no consequence, but it cannot work. Sooner or later the nitty gritty of matter will disrupt our diurnal dreaming. The rains, the drains, the floods, the sewage, the traffic, the potholes and the rising temperatures. The headaches, the exhaustion, the burn out, the breakdown of bodies battered by the logic of profit.

what s up here? Auroracoin still alive? Are there any devs left?
hard to say. Haven't heard of balduro in a long time. However someone managed to get the second airdrop going (end of july, still in progress, 4500 claims so far. Has ebbed down, though with ~1.4 million AUR claimed. Surprising for most of us: the claim amount was raised 10-fold to 318 AUR per person).
Who knows.. it's a long unlikely shot now and it doesn't look good. Doubt any Icelanders are doing much of anything but selling their airdrop coins.
I think that they only way to salvage this coin is to abort the airdrop and for all the remaining amounts in the pre-mined addresses to be provably destroyed.
That's what SpainCoin has been doing, and the SPA airdrop has finished now: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9034911
Wow. Congratulations. I will follow it with interest.

CrunchPool just moved to a new server in Canada, with low latency to US and Europe, you can still mine AUR, SPA and more coins with us!

When is the last time the devs made an update?
Well, they did move the decimal place on the 2nd airdrop amount. That's at least 1 byte changed.
depends on the representation of the number. IBM made some weird cpus (for banking apps) doing decimal arithmetics natively (yeah, I know, right?!? but it makes sense). But yeah: probably at least a byte.

Yeah, don't write off a coin just because the forum thread dies, I sure hope the original developer is dead tho! :p
AUR was an okay idea- I don't think we had seen fair distribution or real progress towards it. It was all 'talk'
The only country coin I see succeeding is called phcoin and they left bitcointalk months ago with tremendous updates
through official medium of communications to their community on facebook, twitter, irc, and announcement pages.

Having said that, I think Balduro eventually really has "broken the shackles". Unfortunately not for Iceland, but for crypto in general. Wishing him dead is the same as praying for the end of Cryptocurrencies, for it's persons like him that pave the way by creating new challenges.
If anything, I would have wished for Icelanders to have picked up this initiative more like my fellow countryman have (NLG).
i think that's right. People probably just waiting for the airdrop to be finished so they aren't dumped on. Once the airdrop is through this coin with the right management in place will be a goldmine.

Well last night i rented some rigs for the Midas fisco and not all of them worked on Midas so i pointed a few to Aurora coin because I like p2pool!
I made something like 3.3 by now and will make a few more coins in the next days .... they are worthless now I know, but maybe one day ....

Work is still happening. The forum isn't very active, but some of the members at forum.auroracoin.org have been moving things forward. I hear an Icelandic exchange is to come online in September.
I've been checking the auroracoin forum from time to time and it seemed quite deserted.
If work is being done it's mostly "behind the scenes".
I heard about that supposed fiat exchange, too, but it seems unlikely to me because of the legal status of crypto in Iceland and the capital controls in effect there. I think it would be quite hairy to pull off, no?
Don't get me wrong, I still think this coin has a chance. Icelanders can turn around and start using anytime. I just think it's less likely now than it has been in the past.
