Topic: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland - page 86. (Read 506425 times)
I m wondering among the 319653 AUR already airedroped, how many're still in icelandics holders!
perhaps, it s suitable to add a few guidelines on airdrops page enciting peoples to hold their AURs ...
Wow, lot of negativity on here, yet no suggestions of a better way of executing an airdrop.
Kudos to Baldur. Even if this is a total flop, he has led the way and others can build on this experiment.
However for every seller of AUR there is a buyer who is willing to hold for longer term. Because they know this isn't a 3 day experiment. I remember when BTC were less than 10 cents and I still have some I bought back then because that experiment isn't over yet either.
In less than 3 minutes after reading your assertion I was able to determine there are 116,000 people on Facebook who claim to live in Iceland and are aged 35 and over. And there are 220,000 people on Facebook who claim to live in Iceland and are 13+, so in fact more than half of the people that can participate in this experiement are in your segment of the population that are 'cut out of the airdrop'.
I can't think of a more efficient way for one person to execute an airdrop at such low cost than using FB to validate, can you?
Sure there will be fraud. This is a project that involves humans. If you're looking for perfection let us know when you build it.

The majority of the population segment that has been cut out of the airdrop (35yo+) because of the validation chosen (facebook)
is also the same segment that owns the majority of businesses. I am guessing they might be a bit put off because of this
alone.

People were warned repeatedly about what would happen with this coin, but they kept holding. I guess it shouldn't shock me that I'm seeing posts from people who are just going to go down with the ship and lose every bit of value they have left in their AUR, as the recipients in Iceland cash it in. It wasn't hard to do the math on this. There's no infrastructure, nobody can or will use the coin, it is simply acting as a mechanism to transfer YOUR money to Icelanders. They're cashing it in - as anyone would - for something with actual value in their daily life.
Take your loss and lick your wounds, lesson learned - don't go down with the ship, because it's only just begun taking on water and with the volume of coin yet to be distributed, it has nowhere to go but down, from here.

as much as I liked the general idea behind the coin the distribution and authorization process are insufficient. One person shouldn't have been able to claim more than 31.8 coins. Claiming coins for others is a total disaster for aurora coin. Not to mention the fork at 5400th block.... Balduro was told that if the coin won't fork before the airdrop there will be no applications / services available and that would lead to a massive wash out to exchanges. It is obvious now that the airdrop is being manipulated. The claims are too massive in a very short period of time so the late fork doesn't even matter I guess 
Lets hope other coins with similar concept will learn a lesson here. I still believe in the concept but lets face it the execution was really poor here.

i think its need shops accept aur not only distribution aur .... (i need use aur then grow up! )
I still think its a great idea and I am still holding some AUR however there are many people who will not and are not anymore due to implementation issues.
Only time will tell how this whole thing pans out but it makes for terrible media.

I bought 10 AUR for memory 
, i know it's BTC lost.

wut.. some people assumed everyone in Iceland would have the coins in the first day! And now 3% is too massive?

nearly 3% of iceland claimed their coins! 
including 6- and 60+ 
including 6- and 60+ I have a iclandic ID but can't claim the airdrop because i don't have Facebook or a Icelandic phone because I live in Sweden anyone who wants to buy it from me for 15AUR? I think that you could claim it if you have a Icelandic phone number so just PM if interested 
nice try buddy, a ton of kennitala is publicly available online, the harder part of the auth is the sms or facebook...Its really really really really had to see how this coin will not slip into oblivion
Lost like .8BTC on this experiment.
Note to self...do not speculate in a coin until all airdrops are done.

If it's true that most claims are not fraudulent then AuroraCoin is already a HUGE SUCCESS.
LoL.
Whatever pills you take. Please take less. I am worried!
Is anyone else munching on popcorn while we watch this implode?
Coin's creation to airdrop, less than 2 months with no economy built. This will never work.
Bagholders be ready.
~2 times the mined coins airdropped in 24 hours, this is going to be interesting
Double the money supply with no effort/work put into the system and the only infrastructure in place are the exchanges to trade your AUR for any other currency.

Trolling? Someone asked a question and I gave an answer to that question. "I do not think it means what you think it means."
I am still interested in the technical side of it, but have yet to get an actual answer. Your "answer" was that you had previously posted it (which you had not) and that what you were saying was fact regardless of the fact that neither the dev nor the blueprint state or imply what you said. And to top it off, your opinion does not even make sense.
Pretty sad.
Sic em Nick, sic em. There are more "trolls". Let 'em have it.
You're going to be very busy.

yeh very sad for poeples who (invest) bought this coin for 0.02 -0.04 (and more) and waiting the holydays (airdrop day + hard fork day)!
