Please educate me on the matter as well as i'd like to know how the group intends to get folks from Iceland on-board in using Auroracoin? (asking from the point of view of just trying to better understand myself) What's the Pirate's party take on Auroracoin?

We have a strong presence in Iceland now. Next to the official foundation in Reykjavik, we now have a large group of people, including influential entrepreneurs working on the re-launch of this project.

One of the biggest flaws of the initial startup of this project was the lack of a true AUR-ISK exchange. We have that operational now and it will go live in the first week of May. This was our most essential target next to a solid and functional blockchain, which we accomplished by porting the Digibyte (based on Myriad) code. We also have been working on a platform to make it ridiculously easy and safe for merchants to start accepting AUR as means of payment.

And to answer your question relating the Pirate Party, our foundation has had meetings with their members before. They embrace the possibilities of crypto currencies and are very interested in our project. We do however refrain from any political stance.

Thanks LTEX for confirming that. Also in that article says:

'' A number of factors have contributed to Auroracoin’s whiffing away. First of all, even though the airdropping ensured a built-in group of users, it did not give them any place to spend the money, as it did not have any strong retail support.

Due to heavy traffic, the Auroracoin website crashed many times, significantly slowing down confirmation times for receiving coins, which made trading almost impossible.''

My question is is there now any place to spend Aurora and where, is there a strong retail support now? and are you ready for the heavy traffic now...have you tested the new exchange for the any inconvenience , heavy traffic crash etc?

Thanks

Well, I can almost positively state here, there are no merchants accepting AUR officially yet. We are also happy about that, for the strong foundation to support that would not have been ready. That's what our team has been working on the past year, preparing to re-launch Auroracoin the right way, with all the tools and structures in place.

This is going to unfold very fast after the first busstop campaign. We are not going to hype anything that is not actually live, so you have to maintain a little more patience.

I work at a large Dutch financial company on the South axis of Amsterdam and promoting this kind of technology requires a bit more than bus stop posters and press releases. One might even say that the team that I am a part of is heavily invested from a know-how stand point in blockchain as it is, just hadn't noticed this project before. One of the perks of being a member is knowing quite a bit about the industry as a whole, promoting said financial products isn't easy. How is this project doing amongst early adopters/tech-fiends/cryptocurrency world in general? It's going to be quite hard to convince regular folks of the 'Why' and to put their trust into something like Auroracoin. Wish you all the best though, hope it works out!

Dank je!

I do understand where you come from. I know the Dutch market quite well and also a campaign like this would not cut wood in the Netherlands. This is however the main reason we are supporting Auroracoin as a project in Iceland. If you would read a bit about it's history you will understand that convincing 330.000 people in a land that has been damaged over and over by financial crises is much easier than 17 million people that live like Eloys in wealthy environment.

If you like to know more, I'm more than happy to educate you in Dutch on the possibilities of this project.

This latest article from cointelegrsph sets auroracoin up really nicely for a big surprise next month.

http://cointelegraph.com/news/saving-icelands-economy-did-auroracoin-fail-its-mission

At the end she lets slip that an icelandic bank has started a campaign to educate icelanders about crypto currency.

Expect auroracoin to be part of this strategic campaign, still to be announced next month.

Auroracoin is trading at a massive discount here.

I think this part of the article is wrong ''Within a month of the launch, less than 10% of Icelanders had picked up their free money, and the price fell and flatlined. It is now worth $0.330647, down from over $30 at its highest.'' Didn't it go to $90?

It touched $ 88 for a few seconds, correct. I think however that she's more wrong by stating it went down from that to $ 0.3. It actually is now up to $ 0.3 from $ 0.0! We had some fluctuations in between though Grin

Thanks LTEX for confirming that. Also in that article says:

So the ad campaign is using curiosity part from people, ok lets see what happens

Yup, we want to create a subconscious feeling of reality towards the brand Auroracoin first. After we launch the campaigns to promote the AUR-ISK exchange and our, still to unveil, merchant platform, people will have seen the brand live and that generates a feeling of trust.

maybe add the website address on the bottom of bus stop signs

I guess this could answer your suggestion:

Quote from: CRYPTONAIRE on April 18, 2016, 01:57:47 PM

Greetings from the UK!

Best of luck with your forthcoming campaign.

I hope you will not be offended by a suggestion from a mere foreigner, but would it not be wise to include a (very large) QR code linking to the Aurora website, so that people standing at a bus-stop (or just walking by) can scan it with their phones and gain some information about AUR 'on the spot' ?

Hi Cryptonaire and thanks for the suggestion.

This of course was discussed but the fact is that if anything else would be on the poster it would be a different strategy than we are currently taking. The idea is that we are not trying to sell people anything on the spot. We are just there and the logo and name will sync into peoples subconscious and that is what we are aiming for. Fine if people get curious and want to know more they will google and find us I have no worries about that.

But the campaign will first make it's impact when they see the logo on the biggest news websites or on the evening news that will follow the opening of the Exchange and other promotional efforts we are planing. Then people will give more attention to the news as it will trigger something in their mind. On top of that they will absorb the news with a more open mind and more trust for the brand as it's been lingering in their mind without people knowing it. So that is the main purpose of the campaign. We will have tons of other opportunities to get people to check out more information about Auroracoin and this campaign will make those opportunities more successful.

This is not the extent of our plans to promote Auroracoin, it's merely the beginning.

^^^^^^

If you were able to read as much to conclude there are, next to 5 Icelanders, 2 Canadians and one Americain, also 3 Dutchmen involved in this coin, how can you have overlooked this?:

One more week to start of busstop campaign! Exciting times ahead folks!

Currently we are working on a detailed marketing plan that involves real commercials in Iceland. We are (rather soon) going to start a campaign with huge posters in all 100 bus terminals around Reykjavik, which will look like this:

The terminals have over 5 million driveby's a week! This means that in one week most people have become familiar with our logo and name. It also makes Auroracoin something that is real. Once we start unfolding our releases to the press people in Iceland are going to say "Hey, I saw that at the busstop before" Rather then "Hmmm, some internet thing from a couple of nerds".

The marketing needs to go live before the banks come with their own solution. When is the date for the bus terminal posters?

26th, 5 more days Grin

Had never heard of Auroracoin before, loads of Dutchies working on it I noticed. What's this thing about the bus terminals?
