Topic: AURORACOIN - Empowering Financial Freedom - page 103. (Read 138034 times)
We have passed Digibyte and Novacoin. Which coins will we eat up next? Max Ks coin is next. 
I still think a country coin will be one of the big landmarks in the history of cryptocurrency adoption. Time will tell which one will be first...
I think there are two contenders for the title of "first successful national cryptocurrency". One is AUR and the other one is Guldencoin.Guldencoin is in the much difficult position because the country financial system is based on the EURO backed by the EU behemot. Iceland recently quit the european integration. That means independence!
Also the size of the country matters.
Finland has a national aidrop cryptocurrency running. But i didn't follow FIMK too much.
My believe is that if a national cryptocurrency with wide adoption will emerge, it will be from a northern country.
I agree on the 2 contenders mate, unfortunately for the UK there is a lot of other coins where the developers are UK based so a need for a country coin wasn't going to be easy. Part of the reason why britcoin failed, if guldencoin was AUR the price of AUR would be over 100k now with what guldencoin has achieved and it doesn't have the whole "scammy" start to it. rocanonz is correct that aur will be much easier to achieve acceptance and might be the countrycoin that makes the first jump into top 10 coins. That being said when AUR works I think Guldencoin will take off like a rocket and might cater for the whole of Europe and not just Netherlands.
If AUR would have any positive affect on Guldencoin or any other serious coin for that matter, we would be on the right track. We are not here to compete with other coins but to strengthen the foundation of all cryptocurrencies. If the Icelandic public would decide to take Guldencoin over AUR at some time, it would be a great moment as it would mean that people have gotten involved and have made their own choice. Not been forced to accept something they don't want by a central entity.

Which is why this guy is backing both with true dedication! I think both coins can learn from each other and benefit from their synergy. They both have their own unique specifics but in the end share the same goals.

When you guys expect to share a gameplan for Aurorad Foundation ?
I already shared an idea i think is worth discussing - being targetting some merchands selling ''exportable'' stuff, so foreigners would be able to spend AUR to get goods in Iceland. A good opportinity imo. Iceland merchands would bring back AUR home, while sharing Icelandic culture - traditional stuff, etc (clothes, artwork, music, books). So getting officials involved would not be that difficult - everybody would win. Good for image, good for Aur, good for businesses.
I think that it would be a good starting point (after few conferences, booklets, mailers, etc).

Sure - but wanted to see first if this was something making sense to others here. I, for sure, would spend AUR in iceland with pleasure ! ''Export goods, import AUR!''
I think it's an excellent idea! We are surely going to pick that up once we have the basics in place...

would be nice to read something from a icelander.

It does not matter that the dev stole some coin, it been said many time by others that Icelanders don't know about btctalk. I won't be much on for next month to follow this thread but I advise everyone not to sell coins cheap. I have built up close to 1% of the total supply just by trading and will sell in small quantity when time is right not to crash market. Good luck to team if it fails I don't care if it succeeds I make some extra money and become rich off teams hard work. bye for now.
Mate if this coin goes to 100 usd can I come Polish your ferrari's in China. I have under 10k coins which I hope to pocket for some serious amount of btc when the people start buying.
Besides the 1 million in the foundation the biggest holders of AUR will be foreigners and you can bet the Chinese crypto investors will have a big stake in AUR and will control the currency, like they have the USD by the balls. Icelanders won't ever have the biggest stake in there own currency. It's all good news for us investors however who will make plenty btc off this.
In a closed loop crypto system, there isn't a need for fiat. When I go and buy a beer with AUR, I expect that bar owner to go and buy breakfast in the morning with it. And then that shop owner goes and buys petrol for his car with it. The petrol employee gets paid with it and goes out and buys his wife a wedding ring with it. And the jeweler goes out and celebrates at the movies for making an awesome sale that day. And so on and so forth.
I don't believe you can acheive closed loop crypto system without achieving autarky. Most of the goods listed in your post (coffee, cars, jewels) originate from outside Iceland and require to be imported using fiat currency so you need to make sure to maintain strong, sustainable value vs fiat currency.
I am quite shocked to see only 206 FB followers(mostly foreigners) for a coin that got distributed to 40 000 people. I am starting think this really was a scam.

Is there currently a btc/ISK exchange for Icelanders, if not the team must get the AUR/ISK exchange up very fast otherwise Icelanders will just use bitcoin instead for security and peace of mind.
One is being set up, it is really close to Beta test.

I didn't knew it. 1,321+ 3,096 + 5,515 facebook group members are quite allot for a underground project in Iceland
This makes it clear. There is a real interest for AUR in Iceland. I predict the interest will grow.

Who is Baldur Odinsen? Tell me who he is and I walk away from this conversation and never return and wish you all the best. I don't know any Icelandic coin developers, most are from China,India,Netherlands and US. I think dev was not from Iceland and use fake Iceland name.
I found him, my mistake.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balder_%28comics%29
At this point in time, does it matter who he is though? I can assure you that I personally know 5 members of the new team, and have been acquainted with the rest, and they are most certainly not Balduro.
If the coin is in new hands, and the premine was burned, does Balduro matter? That's like trying to continue the hunt for satoshi.
-Fuse
It wouldn't matter if there wasn't a premine, there is a lot of issues surrounding the other 25% of the premine, he has a lot of explaining to do.
In all seriousness, though, what would you like addressed? Coins were airdropped to whoever claimed them. The remaining coins sat in wallets that the AUR team had already planned to block should Balduro not come through with his initial promise. Balduro then, as he said he would, burned the remaining coins in a dump address(which can be seen in this transaction https://chainz.cryptoid.info/aur/tx.dws?490947.htm). He is no longer involved in the workings of this coin. It seems pretty clear.
For those that have already responded about the FUD, I think we should hear it out. If we can't clearly state what the current situation is, and what our current position is with AUR, then we can't dismiss the FUD.
So Eggert, What's left to discuss about it? What's left for him to explain? I want to see if I can get you whatever answers you need to be at peace with your thoughts about AUR.
-Fuse
You can explain yourself in this discussion.

The airdrop was donne by using the kennitala ID system and moving bytes of computer generated data
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennitala
The initial hype arround AUR just before the airdrop when 31.8 of them worth 600$+, attracted 30.000+ airdrop requests.
After the dump the number of second airdrop request went down to 5000+
And the 3'rd airdrop request went even lower to 2500+
Because the value of the airdop coins is so low now, they have no use in merchant transaction. It's something that you just trade if you have a taste for risk or you firmly believe in the concept propose by AUR coin.
But with the newly dedicated foundation that holds a marketing and development budget, this will change in time.

Do you know what the developer did to advertise AUR to the people in Iceland. I am part of the Guldencoin community and as you can see with our distribtion stats under 2000 people have claimed with a population of 17 million in the Netherlands. The coin has also just turned 1 year old and has plenty merchants, been on the media and even RT but only 1918 people have claimed. Any tips or ideas the AUR developer used would be welcomed.
https://distribution.guldencoin.com/#/stats
Something that is a concern is that EFL with the same coin supply also claimed around 40 000 people in the Netherlands claimed but that was proven as a scam as the coin creators got caught out by having bigger sells in EFL on the exchanges then was meant to be in supply at the time. Now there has been community takeover and they also got a foundation built. Looks like AUR going to head in same direction.
I know some members in Guldencoin have invested in AUR so came to check it out so please let me know how they advertised and I can give this information to our team.
Let me share come facts and opinions I have about AUR.
1. I proved to myself it was a scam when I did some peer lookups during the airdrop,there was less then 150 active nodes. I would say less then 70 at this point in time.
2. The developer is not from Iceland, this is the reason you will never ever get him to reveal his true identity.
3. AUR was created by a smart and patient investor who most likely can wait it out and present some feel good stories to con people.
4. Same sock accounts used to defend the coin.
5. Not in a million years was 40 000 AUR given to unique people as per point 1.
Don't u think the dev deserve to be rich for his good idea even though he scam at start? Many inventor sell idea and invention for lots of money. The way I see the dev deserve to be rich.
Eggert is just a angry child because he doesn't have any coins. Just ignore him!

The only other option would be going on holiday there.
I'm for more options.
If whales coming in - i would be careful with my orders. But can't avoid whales - just don't get fooled by them. ''For each seller there is a buyer... unless it's the same person'' !
Or (cool) may be someone just getting an entry at a nice price point.
