How about sms verification ? Are the numbers connected to kennitala ? Or.. anyone can claim coins if they own an Icelandic number ?
I don't know about kennitalia-number required connection or not, anyway, even if 10% of the airdrop is scammed away it would certainly be a success.
What would be bad is icelanders unable to claim their legitimate coins because of scammers using their kennitala.
Here, another clone of AURORA: BitLeu (aka BTL)
Now BTL on the market !
https://bittrex.com is the 1st exchange where you can trade BTL !

Yeah I just grabbed some cheap BITLEU form Bittrex..This is a sleeper and at least they are building a foundation so that is really cool..
And what if legitimate citizens of Iceland only created a facebook today in order to receive the airdrop?
Nothing like a well thought out plan.

They are likely to be adding more verification methods.

So, I found a kennitala online, co-opted an old Facebook account and changed the info to match. I got past the first screens (clearly there's no safeguards to see if the person is located in Iceland or not), but the Facebook authentication failed. Interesting.
Curious why fb would fail after you changed the information.
Eligible FB accounts are already in the database, as I already said.
You can't change your nationality or make a new one anymore.

Try with a new kinnitala entry and Iceland proxy and see what happens, I'm interested to see how easy or difficult it is to pull off this fraud after so many have claimed it's simple just to see if they're full of shit or actually right for a change
Most, if not all, free Iceland proxies are either down or are rejecting connections. hmm
Do you have one that works?

This is great stuff to read & follow! Really hope this works despite all the challenges ahead for the developers.
I was inspired by the auroracoin airdrop & created a similar, but FAR simpler system, distributing the coin I support to the Twitch.TV population using their account system & PM's for distribution.

I feel bad for anyone who actually thought this was going to be a success. Glad i sold all mine when it hit 1 billion for a day.
It doesn't bother anyone that people in California and Australia are claiming the coins? Or that the ID number isn't only for Icelandic people? Or that there is an easily accessible database of 70,000 numbers that were hacked (i.e. I could probably go claim some coins right now. Actually....)...no doubt there is some widespread fraud here.
As far as I understood the process, first you input your Kennitala (and here anyone could copy/paste one) but then you need to confirm your ID by means of:
-Facebook account, must be preexisting to Airdrop
-SMS received on a icelandic phone
So I don't think fraud is as simple as you make it out to be
What if they created a fake FB account before yesterday, but after they learned of the blueprint auth means..?
And what if legitimate citizens of Iceland only created a facebook today in order to receive the airdrop?

Well when you launch your own regional crypto you can choose door by door paper wallet distribution as a means of airdrop.
Should be fine for San Marino or Vatican City, only taking a few days
CUT
So you are required to have a mobile phone of potentially a specific carrier and a facebook account prior to the airdrop...seems you left out all of the older generations (the ones you most likely needed to convert towards the idea of crypto)

Yeah cause:
-no person above the age of 50 has FB or a mobile phone
-it was imperative to convert grannies to cryptos, nevermind 99% of young people don't have any idea what cryptos even are..

So, I'll admit that it is harder than it seems to get coins fraudulently, but it seems like it's happening.
There are various reports on reddit and facebook that people have been trying to get their coins to find that they have already been claimed by the same ID.

I will say that it is fascinating. But I am quite skeptical that there are really thousands of different icelandic people who have already claimed their coins.

It's probably Icelanders scamming other Icelanders...
I guess someone from Iceland could claim tons via sms using different numbers, maybe?
So as I understand it - claims are checked via a name and SSN from a public repository then authed with FB?
What prevents someone from picking out random combos of SSN+Name from the public repo then creating associated FB accounts with them?
If the person exists, try again with a different person.
I'm positive not 100% of Icelanders have facebook so there are probably lots of opportunities here. Likewise, how is an icelander supposed to claim their coins if they DON'T have facebook?

If you read the forum, you'd know FB accounts have to be older than the airdrop.
And that people without FB can use SMS
So all the possible hackers who actually kept up with the coin knew to go ahead and create a facebook account before the airdrop.
And the majority of citizens of Iceland did not.
And the sms only works for some, maybe be just one carrier? Even the numbers listed in a national directory some work and some do not.
