No, auroracoin is not dead.  However, interest and use in the webwallet / Hive has diminished to a point that further support and server costs have been discontinued.

Dont worry about your coins, we can take care of that. 

There is a thread on Reddit that covers this issue.  Depending on your level of technical savvy you can get the coins out yourself.

It requires the installation of the Chrome Wallet and going through some manual steps to get your private keys from the webwallet.

For technical people there is a certain amount of fun in going through the steps... however if that is not your thing I understand.

Do you still have your passphrase saved ?

1.  I dont know how much he is being paid.  I am sure it is commensurate with local salaries.  From what I have seen he has been earning his salary.

2.  I dont know if we could have avoided the delisting.  It was probably due to low volume, and although low it was probably still profitable for Bittrex, but perhaps not as much so as with other coins.  We did not anticipate this.  That being said, perhaps now that ISX is the primary fiat exchange and local it will better represent the local demand cost.
I dont think comparing auroracoin to a bitcoin fork is fair.   We may not have the exposure that other coins have but that has not stopped some of us who have been spending alot of time trying to keep the coin relevant.

3/4.  There were about 40 people at the meeting, more than any auroracoin specific meeting has gathered.  There is now a call to action for those interested in auroracoin specifically to join the auroracoin specific group in 2 weeks.

I too wished that interest in Auroracoin and the foundation funds were used in a different way, but I see and believe now that was a good decision.  So now, as mentioned, it is an issue of establishing the coins voice within the IBF. 

Thanks for your input.  As you can see on this board and on Reddit, there have not been many contributors to the discussion, and not many people that have reached out to help, or to create websites with auroracoin resources, but there is a core group that has been steadfast in the idea.   Some of your comments have made into my discussion notes and in many ways are valid points.

Apologies for it not developing as hoped, but here I would actually place some of the blame on the Icelanders who do not realize the opportunity they have in this nationally brand recognized cryptocurrency.

Is auroracoin dead? webwallet.auroracoin.is don't working. I have approx 20 coins on old webwallet hive.auroracoin.is (also is down).

Wussel, please come and join IBF and work with us. You are welcome to join the Auroracoin subgroup of IBF, the only coin specific subgroup of IBF. The task is the same as before... get Auroracoin accepted everywhere in Iceland. Help us instead of hiding behind a username here on Bitcointalk and just spread FUD

1: How much does the CEO get paid per month?

2: You could have avoided that. Why don't they delist Bitcoin Cash? Because the effort put in the coin by Roger Ver alone is much more than what you guys all together have achieved so far. Besides the fact that Bitcoin Cash is in demand, the biggest holders hold onto their coins instead of selling them in the market. In fact, we all know Roger Ver bought more BCH to grow his holding. I am just using this as an example.

3: As an investor in AUR I think it is a minimum to come up with images, facts and proof instead of storytelling. So far all we could see is that a huge exchange is delisting AUR, some websites that even I can make and some nice story.
Yes, I'm aware is wasn't Oct. 11th yet so this is/was a good opportunity for you guys to collect proof.

4: You talk about bolster the blockchain community, sorry to say but the price clearly doesn't show that.
Selling the coins because it was conducted in an official meeting is just an excuse. I'm not the only one that is dissapointed about the decission of IBF but many more who have put their faith, money and trust in AUR.

This is not about FUD, but about facts.

1.  Stating that the full-time CEO of a national blockchain advocacy group does not need to be paid implies that you are basing your opinions on some subjective utopian reality where people's time and effort does not require compensation.  Not sure what you mean about him being able to buy his own coins as that is not related to salary.  

2.  Yes Bittrex is delisting AUR and that is unfortunate, however it does not change our efforts in regards to auroracoin.

3.  Why do you feel that you are owed these receipts and evidence of how the coins were used ?  This sounds like you have a warped sense of entitlement.  What have you done to warrant such inclusion within the project and foundations decisions?   What have you contributed if I may ask ?  How have you asked to be involved ?  


Doing a simple google search for "Icelandic Blockchain Foundation" will give you an idea of how the funds have been started to put into use.

It has been clearly stated that the decision was made to form the IBF to bolster the blockchain community in general in Iceland and that the IBF would have more ability as a neutral organization to make that happen.  This has attracted many more individuals to the community in general and in turn has given auroracoin exposure as well.

This was all done under strict by-laws and voting protocol conducted in an official meeting earlier this year.  That's just the way it is.  Everyone has their own opinions about how things could go or should go - but it is a fact of nature that things do not always go the way that you wished it would.

So you can FUD and complain all you want but it does not contribute to a constructive conversation.

1: The CEO doesn't need to be paid, at least not with funds obtained by literally selling Auroracoin. If he believes in crypto and especially in Auroracoin he could have bought it himself from his own money. We all know this is bullshit.

2: The reality is, is that Auroracoin is going to be delisted from Bittrex. So you are NOT expanding but shrinking.

3: Show us where the money went from the 80% that has been sold. Show the receipts, bank statements or some kind of evidence where the money went. These are all very very easy answers you are giving. Zero evidence that the money is being used to create positive growth for AUR.

Furthermore, you are talking about meetups with a 100 people. Do you have any proof of that? Do you have photos or smth that proofs that there weren't 10 people at the Oct 11th meetup?

In short, the replies you gave us are filled with hopefull statements but that's it...just statements. I see no proof that what you wrote is actually true on the contrary the fact that AUR is going to be delisted from Bittrex is counterproof of your positive statements.

Normally I would accept proof like "project progression", but there isn't any progression with AUR so you have to provide something else.

Ironic as we have made some progress here with establishing a new group within the Icelandic Blockchain Foundation.

and ironic that auroracoin has brought so much to iceland, including funding the IBF, and we just havent found our voice yet.

   which is why I have been building the auroracoin101 brand and signing up merchants and working with the dev and coin team.

===  for example, got a new merchant yesterday officially on board,   https://auroracoin101.is/merchants,  Bio Borgari  Organic Burgers.

   We will also be building a merchant signup campaign from our recent merchant experiences...  market materials are being prepared, as well as merchant signage / brochures.

----------------

Well, i guess we will see where the price lands on ISX.is in Iceland.   There was always arbitrage going on with Bittrex,   so yobit and cryptopia will take over a bit, i suppose.

I guess in many ways the cheap prices will continue again until we start driving coin demand here in Iceland.

just trying to find the best way to offer a 10 or 20 % discount when paying with merchants.   there are some ideas.

----------------------------------

However, in my mind, as one of the top auroracoin advocates, contributor, and also founder of auroracoin101.is

 the most important thing to do is to find our landing place with IBF and continue with current plans.


We expect a room full of attendees showing up Thursday, Oct 11, at the next IBF meetup...

   with Auroracoin being discussed and team recruiting and building.

Well, maybe the volumes will increase by yobit ,
 after closing trades on bittrex

Yeah, but should ready for exit pump

It seems that way, shit.

damn! But to be expected looking at the volume...

What BTC-AUR markets are left?

looks like it's just cryptopia and yobit, both with negligible volume.

BITTREX:The BTC-AUR market will be delisted on 10/19/2018

very sad:(

This is good to hear ;-).

Sorry for sounding so negative before. I had been keeping my hopes up for AUR (and still do now) and had a temporary lapse of faith. I'm not talking about the value of my bag here (I decided long ago (and still stick to that decision) to go down holding that bag even if the ship sinks to the ground), and I hope that came across over time. My plan is to some day spend my AUR in Iceland. Either by buying a nice power plant or by buying a couple of beers, depending on where things go with Auroracoin.


"important" is an overstatement, but I am happy to play a small part and it is fun.

I've been running explorer.auroracoin.eu, been helping to keep the market "stable", been mining (at a loss) when we had the pool hopping troubles before multi-algo, tried to help a tiny bit with the code when I found issues and I've also been telling people IRL about the Auroracoin experiment here in germany. I always promote AUR as a "buy" when people ask me what altcoin they should get ;-).

I would love to help adoption in Iceland somehow, but that's hard to do from outside the country.




10-fold increase? How did you measure that and in what timeframe did that occur?


:-)

Thanks mike I replied.

The team blocked access to the app to the entire country of South Africa because of their problems with me.

This is discrimination at its worst. Its punitive. Its almost sabotage from within.

Please allow south africans access to the app your decision to ban us looks immature and nothing more but a cheap reaction to display your power.

this decision shows that you have little good will for the ideals of crypto currency. Decentralisation and freedom of expression was destroyed when you banned an entire country from using your app.

Im disgusted but plead with you to reverse your decision.

Who cares ?   We care

Well, no one can say that you have not played an important role in the project.
 Thanks for keeping your Abe explorer up for all this time and providing airdrop statistics.

I think the thing is that many people have come to the conclusion that mass airdrops,
 in general, only lead to quick sell offs....  At this point though the debate is moot for Auroracoin.

However, Auroracoin has not failed... we are still working, growing and yes, pivoting (vertically) from our lessons.

New merchants are still being added and new relationships are being forged.  Again, on the scale of a tiny north atlantic nation.

I can say with 100% certainty that this idea to found the Icelandic Blockchain Foundation
 has been phenomenal in regards to Auroracoin legitimacy.  There is no longer a sense of "hidden agendas" due to the objective nature of the group.

We have seen a tenfold increase in local interest, and generally people have been
pleasantly surprised to find out that Auroracoin is still contending quite well, respectively speaking.

So keep those fingers crossed and keep an eye out for further developments.
