Just some info:
Is the dev team aware of the site www.auroramine.com ? It's just another cloud scam, but the name they're using could be somewhat deluding for (potential) Aurora users...

Im communicating with several venture capital firms here in cape town with aim of educating them about auroracoin.
Are there any objections to this or constructive comments on how to do it?

Why haven't you setup your own coin for SA yet? And what is in it for the VCs? I envy your motivation, but you could do so much more within your own SA coin.

Yeah, use another coin. What do venture capital firms bring to AUR, other than price manipulation that you always try to campaign against by demanding knowing what we own?

Interesting news from Iceland, regarding our Prime Minister, that is running again for parliament in 3 weeks.
Looks like he had inside information and sold all his assets one day before the financial collapse in Iceland in 2008. I'm guessing this could lead to criminal charges for internal trading.
It will be interesting to see if his party, that he leads, will get 30-40% of the popular vote in the coming elections like before, in the light of this news or if we will get a new majority party that might shake things up in Iceland.

It has been a number of months now since the first shipment of tablets for the POS systems for Icelandic merchants hit a snag.
A new shipment was on its way but we haven't heard anything. Even by freight, it should have arrived by now no?
Thanks

Well, the tablets that came were not certified as CE (European Union I think) so they were sent back to shipper.
Anyway, we are just moving forward with a locally available tablet for 120€, or 12.000ISK - Lenova Tab3 - and of course also reminding merchants they can use an existing Android phone or similar device.
Just within the past 2 weeks we have confirmed 3 more merchants officially working with us to begin launching merchant acceptance.
So there are 5 merchants now that have agreed to officially accept auroracoin - and we are moving forward on marketing materials and website support for new/existing merchants.
So we are expecting to have these finished this week, "Auroracoin accepted here" placards and materials delivered and announced next week.
Thanks,
mikki

Does genisis mines in iceland mine aurora?
Why don't you write them and ask? I'm sure they have a thread here in the forums as well.

If ethereum changes to proof of stake will the old eth miners be able to mine aurora?
Most ETH miners have already moved to equihash coins after the last difficulty increase. They can mine AUR if they want on groestl/skein/qubit, but will most likely continue to mine the popular GPU mined coins like ZEC, ZEN, SIGT, etc.

No idea, less profitable than other coins?
Mining difficulty crashed to 4 million. Any particular reason why?
Well, apparently BioMike is working on electrum client port. I'd be happy to help with that. Server itself is less interesting to me. I could talk to kyuupichan (author of electrumx server which I switched to, btw, for my bitcoin and bitcoin cash electrum servers) about how much work a port of electrumx to aur would be and maybe even do it if that's something interesting for the project.
The port for ElectrumX is easy enough. I've had it running once before on the test server. We eventually planned to move all the electrum servers over to ElectrumX, but it hasn't really been a priority. If you want to get a solid forked repo created for it, that would be a solid project. Other than that, the electrum client is definitely something we would love to see completed. I'm sure Biomike will hit you up to collaborate.

cool. thanks for all the info.
I also managed to log in to the slack, so probably can be contacted there (I don't use btctalk much any more)
I'm working on electrum-aur in my own repo: https://github.com/BioMike/electrum-aur
Do note that it uses my python bindings for Groestl, Skein and Qubit (and Scrypt also maybe, not sure about that) PoW algos. Especially the Groestl bindings have a different API and the latest release of that package is broken (use the git clone if you need it).
Code-wise it connects to the electrum1 server and should receive and send AUR (I have not tested this yet!!!). Last week I restored part of the block validation code, including the original diff calculation algo, so it is able to validate headers until block 5400. KGW and Multi is something that I hope to start next weeks on.
After that I plan to change everything to Python3 and Qt5 (GUI redesign that I also plan to use for the core wallet (which has to be translated into C++ of course)). When that's done I'll have to look at the Pywallet code that it uses (replace by my own version) and maybe switch the electrum connecting code for the connectrum library (which makes it require Python3.5)... but that last part is still far away.

@molecular, you can hit up the test server if you need to. I'll shoot you the info in PM.
-Fuse
using what client? Where's the repo for electrum client port?
Currently, the only thing we have hitting the servers is the android app and a undisclosed project. But you can telnet for testing. The Electrum server wiki talks about the methods to pull info from the server via telnet.
