Topic: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland - page 49. (Read 506425 times)

before 2nd airdrop ~9.4 million AUR where left unclaimed.

2nd airdrop claims so far: 0.5 million AUR, so 8.9 million are still left.

there have been 35429 claims in the first airdrop phase. If we assume the same amount for the second one, the money will all be dropped soon (couple of months).

go ahead, buy then not now

later will be greater.

how many coins in circulation right now?
When will all coins have been airdropped?
What will the number of coins in circulation be once the airdrop is completed?

Can someone please answer? Thank you!

Does anyone have a timeline of events for the announcement of this second phase of the airdrop?

There is a tweet on the 25th saying that it will occur at midnight.

I've been preoccupied with other projects and I didn't get much response over the last few weeks when I posted here asking if anyone had heard from Baldur lately so I'm just catching up on what's been going on with the second (and now presumably final) airdrop round.

I would be interested in knowing the timeline of announcements/events before jumping to conclusions but a change to 10x with little to no lead time seems a bit odd to me.

Because the hash rate is so low that the coin will certainly need to be ported to a platform like Ethereum actually achieve decentralization.  The current checkpointing system is a form of centralization that is antithetical to the professed goals of the project and the point of cryptocurrency in general.  Due to the geographically limited scope of this coin, it seems unlikely that the network will ever be independently secured by sufficient mining resources.  Operating as a 'colored-coin'esque token on a network that is truly decentralized and secured seems like a reasonable long term solution.  Has anyone else been thinking along these lines?

Perhaps this accelerated airdrop schedule will provide a better opportunity for porting the coin over to Ethereum at/near the launch of the ether mainnet since most/all coins will likely have been claimed by that time.

I'm curious if anyone has a proper timeline of events or any links to the rationale/justification for deviating from the airdrop blueprint.  Is this the work of Baldur or the dev(s) who posted here some time ago saying that they had begun to take over the project?

You seem pretty sure of your opinion, maybe you could tell us where Icelanders can buy USD or BTC.

Oh really?
From where did you get that crap?

Link to a source or get the hell out of here with your lies.

Wait for the local ISK/AUR exchange before you throw in the towl. Then for the first time Icelanders can buy the coin and  merchants can sell it and hopefully an economy can grow around the coin.

People in Iceland can't buy the coin now because of  currency controls. They can't buy usd and bitcoin to buy the coin.

Such a great idea and it went to such heady heights,,,,,terrible shame.

maybe wait until after airdrop? Because once all airdropcoins are out it won't go much lower. When will the last coin have been airdropped? Do we need to wait another decade? Time so release all airdropcoins, so the market can normalize/stabilize somehow.
It'll also be important to get a dev or two for this coin if Balduro is not there anymore.

auroracoin was made cause icelandic corone has devaluated 99% (or something) in its history and now aurora just made the same!
so ridiculous, i will dump that coin as soon as it goes up, there is no hope, if you ask me.

especially when stage 3 of the airdrop will start and if all coins wont be distributed then, it all starts again.

Nice to hear from someone from Iceland. Is there something going on at all in Iceland regarding aurora?

Me neither!.. I managed to double my amount of AUR just by trading and suddenly recognized that the value of aurora fell rapidly over 50 percent (for the second time!), just during 30 minutes.. my wallet lost almost half of its worth and i dont just find it disturbing, but i feel betrayed!

When you first decide if you want to 'invest' in a coin, you read the blueprint and agree to its conditions! But one cant change the rules of a game, while playing it, even more when not announcing such changes! (I havend heard of it and beside that i dont felt like its a must to read about AUR regulary in btctalk forum)
I liked the idea of an airdrop of 31,8 AUR for every citizen, but whats the point of increasing to 318???
IT JUST MAKES THE COIN WORTHLESS! Its not about how many coins you distribute, to make it popular, if its 100, 1.000 or 1.000.000 for every person - the number is abstract - its about the potencial price. The actuall airdrop wont motivate people more than the first of 31,8 AUR for acceptation. Why should it?
How do you get people interested in something? take a look at bitcoin.. it raised to 800$ and more and more people started to deal with it.

excuse me for my bad english, im no native speaker and if you have a different opinion, please tell me.

In addition: The right way to do it would probably be a support to those who already accept auroracoin as payment, lets say 500 AUR for every place of acceptance and 1.000 for every store that starts paying 20% of the loan of its employees in AUR, to create an circulation!

any hope for this coin?

AUR is not going anywhere, hold for long term value, if you have none get some, very stable wallet/network/blockchain even with such a tremendous shake up for me that is a very good sign (stability) this is what I am looking for lately, just like regular business, too many people treat crypto as kind of a game, satoshi designed "system" with blockchain at its core, to replace unstable financial systems around the world (Iceland included) most people are unaware how cryptography can make this happen for them, for me exchange plays and manipulations are ridiculous and short term thinking

as far as mysterious "Mr Balduro" I am sure he is "watching" and he is keenly aware what his creation could mean for Iceland and at the correct time which might not necessarily be now, word now is often used by traders , "give me my profits now!" and thats the real problem

have a great day

Maybe Balduro was taken out by an intelligence service.

Balduro really made the impression of someone, who really stands behind his project and is going to work for it. The time he was with us, he did alot of work and didnt scammed, so he wasnt motivated by money $$$ or his ego ("getting fame/media time").
He really made an honest impression. So why would he leave voluntary?

No I didn't. How did you see this coming?

I mean honestly you couldn't see this coming? No offence and I'm not trying to get in your feelers.

good questions.

let me know the answers.

I find it disturbing that the changes to the airdrop blueprint have not been made public beforehand.

so what's going on with aurora? Price drop? Air drop? Where is the dev? What's happening? Buy more or start to curse?

Don't think that all Icelanders will fetch their airdrop! I don't have the statistics but we can assume that young children and old folks skip it However you can get passwords for your kids and fetch the airdrop, at least I did it hehe
