Topic: AURORACOIN - Empowering Financial Freedom - page 29. (Read 138034 times)

We have a complete media campaign ready and press releases are being send out on time. There have been several media companies that have asked for updates already as well, so we're good.

Also don't forget this:

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".

Enjoy the mining !   And make sure to update your client before the fork.

Yes you can say Auroracoin is making a comeback though it actually never left.
We have been preparing for this for over a year now.

Here are just a few things form the top of my mind that has been done in that time.

• Assembled a versatile dev team
• The remainder of the premine has been burned (by Balduro)
• We have moved to DigiByte's codebase and the coin will go multi-algo on block 225000
• We have founded Auraráð (The Icelandic Auroracoin Foundation)
• Established the legality of owning, using and trading cryptocurrencies in Iceland
• Created an exchange that only has an ISK - AUR trading pair for Icelanders. (In open beta till the beginning May)
• New wallets including a Hive web wallet
• Acquired the auroracoin.is and auroracoin.com domains
• Taken over some of the larger Twitter and Facebook groups
• New official forum
• Various tip bots

Some of the things that we are working on

• New Android wallet
• Multi-algo mining pool
• Merchant tools
• Merchant service
• New website

Some of the exposure plans that we are working on

• Bus stop hangers ad campaign
• Exposure in various media in Iceland and abroad actually (It's premature to mention a lot of it so I wont)
• Hackathon is being planed
• Regular foundation meetings. Both member meetings and open meetings
• We have been and will continue to arrange meetings with influential people in our society and introduce the to what we are doing

These are just a few examples of the work taking place. I'm sure I left a lot out and besides there are a lot of individual efforts taking place that I don't even know about.

To answer your other questions.
The Panama papers are not the reason the price is going up. The price is going up because people are noticing the work we are doing. The Panama papers however is a factor in why people checked us out again so clearly it has had an impact. The price raise is because of pure speculation like it was the first time around, on the believe that we might actually be successful in getting an Auroracoin economy going in Iceland based on the work we have been doing.

Regarding your last statement. Personally I don't believe that Auroracoin was ever a PnD scheme. It was very unfortunate that there were so many unrealistic expectations which pumped up the price to something very unsustainable which had nowhere to go but down. If not for that Auroracoin would have done better in the beginning. For these same reasons the new dev team decided unanimously to work mostly in silence for the past year so that we can build up the infrastructure that was missing when Auroracoin was launched in Iceland.

Till just a few weeks ago we have not had any promotion of Auroracoin in Iceland. The reason for that is we didn't want people to get attention on Auroracoin again while the infrastructure was still missing or some uncertainty was still in the air. But now we believe we are in the right place to start promoting Auroracoin in Iceland, educate the Icelandic public about the fact that they are slaves of dept in our current monetary system and that we have an amazing opportunity here to take back our financial freedom and show the rest of the world that it can be done.

Regardless of Auroracoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter is a viable solution today for a full scale monetary system, in my opinion it's at least a step in the right direction.

Sorry for the long answer, I just got rolling and it wasn't that easy to stop 

@adamastor: I don't think anyone here is saying foreigners should not be buying AUR. I'm a foreigner myself and as you know I bought some AUR as well.

I also don't think there's anything wrong with you trying to promote the use of crypto in South Africa. Although I have some trouble trying to comprehend why you would choose Auroracoin for that, I think it's your decision to make so I won't judge on that either.

We, the Auroracoin development team, do however see a problem in the way you present your actions. You most of the time create a feeling that you are some sort of official entity, responsible for Auroracoin development, which you obviously are not. This has led to many confusions in the past and we are afraid it will continue to do so in the future.

Again, I also contributed 500 AUR to your December project in good faith and on a personal title, so I think that proves we are not against you. We only want to see you respecting the hard work we are doing to reach the official goals of this project and stop trying to impose your private agenda here.

Perhaps it's time you start your own thread where you can focus on your plans with Auroracoin in SA. I ask you kindly once more to stop spamming them here, for this thread is the official Ann of Auroracoin and that's focused on getting it accepted and used in Iceland

Tnx! Martin

This is a reckless post soltangris and is done in bad faith. The coins that werwe donated to me have not been touched, partly for historical records in situations  like this. 1600  coins were sent to my offline account AJsSczid9naHXFtSyPWdpqFvf4C7upgtjs   with blocks 188301 188330 188538.

I took those coins and gave them away to hundreds of people at a new years party and hundreds more when I got back and the rest I gave to school children who attend the community school that I founded here in Cape Town South Africa.

There are twenty or so kids in my school that own those coins and I will happily get them to thank you for making them rich. Are school children in South Africs retarded for supporting auroracoin in the hope of  making some money?

Auroracoin is about to change the world and all you (saltangris) can spend your energy on is calling me out as a scam when all I eat sleep and breath is this coin in an effort to give auroracoin value. You might not think that I have achieved that but more than 1% of auroracoin lives in SA thanks to me.

For the last time, this will not derail the icelandic plan. Rather it will strengthen it.

Auroracoin is for anyone  who wants to break the shackles of financial slavery.

Every part of my body wants aurora to take off on iceland but there are people in my country that are buying asome much auroracoin as they can and for a very legit reason they want to free themselves.

Auroracoin is an experiment to see if a national crypto can show the world how it's done. When auroracoin starts getting popular in iceland, people from all around the world are going to want to buy auroracoin.

Foreigners buying auroracoin is not a bad thing and if you keep shaming people who want to buy auroracoin you are damaging the fibre of the auroracoin community @ soltangrisk.

Interesting point. With fictional reserve banking (glad to see others using this terminology), the US isn't in control of its money creation either! And yes, there is also the international trade element of AUR. Global AUR could be used to buy Icelandic exports.

Well devil's advocate, the US dollar has probably just as many dollars floating around internationally than it does in the states. In some ways it's a good thing there are AUR holders outside the country because it gives it purchasing power with more potential overseas markets to buy goods with. I'm sure with the airdrop and the foundations holdings there is plenty in Iceland itself to jump start everything.

Price rise probably can't be blamed on one individual. There is proof of active development and marketing of AUR, so people will speculate on it. Question is, is will the exchange be AUR/ISK only? If so, many people buying AUR now, might have difficulty finding non-ISK buyers to cash out on the pump.
AUR is an interesting experiment to watch. If the Icelandic people do embrace AUR and create a true crypto-economy, the currencies is still going to be at risk to exchange rate speculation like any other fiat currency. The other major point of interest, is that the money creation process is not in control of the Icelandic people, so getting globally mined new currency into Icelandic circulation could be an issue.
Definitely a very interesting experiment to watch, and I hope it succeeds because that would be good for decentralised crypto in general. I don't expect it to be all plain sailing though.

I want to buy NLG from some of the investors that have left the Gulden project and moved to AUR according to the NLG ANN. Want to buy 400k for 2 btc @rate of 500sat. Unfortunately there is a buy order of 10btc @ 500sat on bittrex. We can do the trade on bleutrade , please PM if interested and I will send the 2 btc to https://bleutrade.com/exchange/NLG/BTC and place the order. This isn't a troll post.

I find his posts a bit odd, he does come across as a massive cock.

AUR back to hash-to-coins.com

so auroracoin make their comeback right now ?
it's up because of that panama papper?
or there's something that make it valuable?

or it's just same like before.pump and dump scheme

He said 65k worth of purchases were being done by him and his connections. Who knows how much they have. At worst they own 1% of the entire supply. You either have to work with him or they will dump the 65k on the Icelandic people when the price is $10. Then you will see those same protestors outside the foundations offices.

Auroracoin is the crypto for Iceland........if you want a South African one, go create your own and stop posting mickey mouse propositions on here.....

We once provided Adam Astor some funds out of generosity from our own pockets, 1000+ AUR, for a project he presented to us.  We are still waiting to see how he spent these funds.  Without anymore information, for me it is a scam.  If Adam's goal is to support AUR, I'm sad to say that he is missing his target real bad.  On top of stealing AUR from our good will, he (and his multiple accounts) act as a pure retarded, trying to get attention, and to derail any good conversation here.  I broke my own rule with this post - sorry for this - but such retarded behavior have to stop.  Maybe it's time to fill some legal action against him.

We appreciate the enthusiasm of some of the followers here.  It is humbling that people would be excited to adopt AUR in places outside of Iceland.  However, the team is going to clearly state our goal once again: adoption of Auroracoin in Iceland.  We will not endorse any effort to use or promote AUR outside of it’s intended audience.  While members like Whistleblower and Adamastor would be a welcome resource here in Iceland, we will not endorse or condone any effort from them to make AUR an economic solution in Africa.

Why not speak to the AUR team to help with promotion in South Africa? How many bus terminals in your area ?

SOUTH Africa is exploding with crypto projecos,  not all of them good. The latest scheme to go viral here is a bitcoin pyramid scheme called triple m.  It's been accused of being a scam on national television but the operation seems to be picking up steam on Facebook.

We had the 4th worst performing currency in 2015 and peopen are desperate to get out of the rand.

Auroracoin is a perfect option for us because we experience financial oppression just like iceland. There is a political party called the economic freedom party and their motto won 5% of the vote in a country ofor 55 million.

Adamastor was most likely responsible for this rise in price. When there is lot of coins in South Africa would.it not make sense to make that a 2nd base to Iceland?
