I think AUR can do at least three things to increase value. PM me if you're interested.

The people in the Philippines are using PHCoin because they want to start their careers in the digital currency industry, that's why!
Auroracoin just did an air drop but there is no incentive for businesses to adopt it.. and not enough people will be using AUR as payments.

In the other hand,
PHcoin has become stimulating a connection for jobless freelancers in the Philippines to join the release of a job platform that will help grow the digital currency industry.

I know I'll be hiring for this.. this is why AUR has no purpose... no meaning..

it only did a one time airdrop for the people, so what... you need an on-going business... business never ends.

To me, the most important reason Auroracoin has not yet stabilized after the storm is due to the fact that somehow the community hasn't taken up it's responsibility yet. I strongly believe that Auroracoin will become a great success, once we get enough people supporting it for the right reasons. Those reasons do not include short term profitability, but must be about making a difference. Not only to the Icelandic community, but also in the Crypto landscape.

I also believe this is the reason why we don't hear to much from Balduro at this time. From the very beginning he has made it perfectly clear that his role is to bring foreword the idea and lay the foundation. That segment is past us now, so it's up to us to finish what he has started!


Are you for real?? What community? The 'community' bid up the price ahead of the airdrop and then waited for good news about some kind of application or use within Iceland. None of this news was forthcoming. A community within Iceland itself would be able to build on this foundation as you put it, yet I can't see that anyone like that has stepped forward with that intention. Because of that, it isn't even clear that we can trust Balduro's statistics about the airdrop. So what is it you think we can do exactly??

I hear you and understand what you mean. But as I tried to explain many times in this forum, to me and many others, this is not about short term profit. If it was, then yes, you might be right. The question to me is, why is everyone in Crypto so inpatient? New ways and standards don't come falling out of the sky, they are slowly build by persistent groups who believe in the benefits change can bring.

There is a large group like this based within Iceland and it's supported by serious foreigners like myself. We know this is not going to prove itself within a couple of months, it will take years.

The up bidding of the price you mention, was not done by this group, it was done by greedy investors that were afraid to mis out. Almost all the early supporters behind this project would have liked to see the price not going over $ 5,- in the first year. The fact this did happen anyway only damaged the steadiness of it's launch.

So, I am for real when I say I truly believe this coin is only at it's start. For sure I also look at other initiatives and can tell you I've done pretty well on other coins financially, but also these coins were dumped as soon as the sheep follow the herds to the next coin. What remains is those coins that can really make a difference based upon their prophecy. It this case, to me AUR is still the one that has the highest potential of becoming widely accepted by an entire community/country. Just look at the initial idea, 330.000 people in a country that is perfect to implement crypto. That is what I think it will work in the end (Will take years, but will get there sooner than others!)

So, if you follow this coin to make a quick buck anticipating it will skyrocket soon, stop it! If you follow it to see if it will succeed in becoming the first to be adopted by an entire nation, you're welcome!

Right now , why should icelanders use auroracoin and not bitcoin?

It makes no sense , other than expecting larger gains.

Man...there are some delusional folks in here. No wonder nobody listened when I came in warning of an impending dump about a month before the airdrop, while these people were saying "we're going to overtake Bitcoin!"

What has Auroracoin accomplished? It was an experiment that failed at what it tried to do. There is nowhere for it to go now. When your coin is below Hobonickels and Pandacoin on Coinmarketcap...it's time to throw in the towel.

Take a look around at what is happening surrounding Auroracoin. NOTHING. Not even the developer is active, anymore. You might as well be investing in Flappycoin.

Hi guys,


I've been away for a while due to personal reasons. Being a strong supporter of this coin I just want to say that it is my believe we are just at the beginning of things, not at the end as some of you say.

Sure, the coin "dropped like hell" and has very little trading volume. There are also a lot of people holding bags after the plummet of it's price and are therefor understandably sad or even angy. Hell, I might just be one of the largest bag holders!

But I'm not behind this coin, as of it's beginning, because I wanted to make a short term profit. I support it for it's prophecy to get an entire country behind the use of cryptocurrency. To me the choice of Balduro to pick Iceland for this project was what got me behind it and is still keeping me behind it!

For now he has done more than enough to prove to us that he is legit and fair. The airdrop is a great success en turned out even better than I could have anticipated!

So, is Auroracoin really at the end of it's lifespan? No!!, it actually is just at the beginning! We just need to start acting upon it instead of waiting and complaining about how Balduro is not there to generate our short term profit all by himself!

lol. you are mad if you were betting on instant adoption and were calculating with national economics of iceland.
May i ask: has bitcoin been adopted?
My standpoint: if the network is kept alive this coin will be around for longer and it might get faster adopted if there is better campaigning for it or an economic troubled time.
You may be betting on national economic, i am betting on the network being kept alive. now who's mad?
If you don't believe in the coin you better sell so the thread can be populated with people that do. The coin is another 5% up compared to yesterday. Could well be i was calling the bottom correctly.

Sure 5% up.... from 1.6BTC volume in last 24 hours lol Hell even SAT & ZEIT have more trade volume past 24hours and they're coins on life support just waiting for someone to pull the plug

I already sold my coins apart from the 1 coin I'm keeping for the lol's made some nice money from it too, way more than 5%, more than 50% too but you enjoy your 5% rise  Shocked

Really, why would anyone invest in a coin that has been dumped to hell, which has no future for adoption as of yet, no services and a horrendous confirm time over the plethora of other coins out there which have everything set up and STILL can't themselves get full adoption and not to mention a dev who seems to vanished off the face of the Earth.

I get it, you bought the coin at what you think is a cheap price, you want it to rise so you can make some money. Wishing it to happen by saying "it will rise" like countless other deluded fools attached to various shit coins with no hope in hell and it actually rising are 2 completely different things. You bet solely on network being alive, personally I bet on what the coin has to offer for long term which AUR has zero going for it right now  Kiss

lol. i took position over the last 5 days. didn't touche it before. In fact i am up 5%. I feel sorry for people who couldn't think in buy into it for 90$. It was very clear from the beginning it would play out like this.
Was really easy to pump yesterday. It is oversold for sure. I think Balduro is busy buying it up himself (smart man) and will come back with good news once altcoins go up again. I don't see anything wrong with the coin. Of course it still can go lower and i hope it does. I wait to buy more.

Then you are mad

The whole selling point for the coin was the adoption from a nation, that nation didn't adopt the coin instead they dumped it so now the coin has no value and no point for its existence other than a collectors item (I own 1 Aur still just for that fact)

There is nothing Balduro can do to save the coin, he already gave 50% away for free and people didn't want it, what else can he do ? And let's not even talk about the horrendous confirm times which helped seal its fate

there will be a lot of butthurt when this coin has a value of 100$ again in 2015

Spoken like a true optimistic bag holder

How many coins you get caught holding ? A few thousand ?
You're better off just cutting your losses and selling, if you can get enough BTC buy support to buy them

Iceland dumped the coin when they got it for free, who is going to pump a dead coin to $100 ?

Better think about the butthurts that spend 90$ on a 30 cents worth (now) coin.
With that pain in the ass I doubt they will still deal with cryptos in 2015.

It seems Auroracoin was the first 'shitcoin and scamcoin' to hit the news? Every crypto has trolls saying it will never amount to anything, maybe they are all doomed to fail? How are people that don't spend time on this board supposed to know the difference?

It isn't clear what's happened to Auroracoin, maybe Balduro has given up, maybe he has some tricks up his sleeve, maybe someone put a gun to his head, I'm pretty sure you don't know either

His experiment failed...pretty spectacularly. It has achieved no adoption whatsoever. I don't know about you, but I think that'd remove all of my motivation to work on it.

To be fair, you would have to look at the value at the beginning of the airdrop, when it was introduced to Icelanders. But the silence from the developers since the Airdrop has been damning. No plans for any integration into Icelandic society that people outside the country can appreciate. I still have Auroracoin - but to be honest, this has been such a disaster that it has done a great deal of damage to the cause of crypto-currencies. This is like the MT Gox of Altcoins, and it's because of coins like this that the market is only getting smaller. Cryptos are supposed to be encouraging transparency but either the devs are keeping silent about real progress or they have no other plans because they have already made their money out of this scam.  

Honestly, you're completely overstating the importance of Auroracoin.

In a giant sea of other shitcoins and scamcoins, Auroracoin is just another water drop.
No damage was done to crypto currency in general.

Bag holders have been warned right from the start this coin wasn't going anywhere.

I find it a bit unfair to put blame on balduro. He has done a huge amount of effort and as far as we can tell remained honest with the premine (at least there's no evidence to the contrary). Bootstrapping a currency for a nation is not something that can be done by a single person.


Alright, so why doesn't he address the state of the coin as it is now? Does he need help? What obstacles are they facing? There doesn't seem to be a clear direction for this coin anymore as far as I can tell. When I said that Auroracoin has hurt crypto-currencies in general I am talking not just about the apparent apathy and indifference that has set in in regards to this coin - I am saying this has pretty much 'poisoned the well' as far as any pre-mined and/or regional coins go.
