AUR will make excite for Iceland with wild price swing. Some will lose life saving while other make millions.

I'm sure we will have price swings. Someone will buy just before the price takes a dive and others will sell on the bottom, just before the next swing.

But the best part is that everyone interested was given coins in the airdrop to play with and hopefully they will not just gamble but actually go out and spend the coins, then come back to buy more.



It is essential to remember that auroracoin is not stocks. We hope to start a small economy that will gradually start to grow. A hype or pump does not help our purpose so please avoid all such things.

that looks very promising, why dont you have a signature campaign on the bitcoin forum?

I'm by no means saying that it's a bad idea and I appreciate the suggestion but those campaigns might be suitable for some coins and services but possible drawbacks of such campaigns is that you get a lot of people who don't really support your coin saying all kind of things that might be in complete contrast to what we are trying to do and stand for. So it might actually backfire and reflect badly on Auroracoin.

Currently we want to focus all our efforts on Iceland and getting Icelanders to start using Auroracoin. That will always be our nr.1 priority and nothing will get Auroracoin more attention from the crypto community than progress and success in Iceland. Smiley

I still want a Auroracoin t-shirt.

NOW.

do you have any explain videos of Aurora if not or if you want to create a cool one you can always hire people to do it very cheap, see below link

https://www.fiverr.com/categories/video-animation/whiteboard-explainer-videos/#layout=auto&page=1

Thanks for the tip Parano! We have been looking into these kind of video's and they are indeed very handy. We are planning however, to do real professional video's from within Iceland.

You see, most initiatives take the easy route to promote themselves with these cheap (yet effective) animations. We want to get past that and what better place to shoot real video's than in one of the most beautiful places on earth?

I guess we're just lucky we focus on Iceland  Wink

Thats great! Smiley

When do you have the intention to do real professional video's from within Iceland?

Once the new algo is effective and our new service (soon to be announced) is operational we will start filming. Would be somewhere halfway May I guess.

VERY WELL DONE!! And all this will happen 1st MAY?


Well, actually the busstop campaign will start on april 26th  Grin

Not to criticize or anything just give some advice speaking as a designer. Will the posters have some sort of "Call to action" or more than just a logo on the poster? Not to say there isn't also a marketing aspect to keeping it mysterious or subtle, just want Icelanders to get the idea of what they are looking at since this is a historic event.

From a marketing angle the target of this initial (yes there will be more to follow) campaign is to create a cognitive relation towards the brand before it gets exposed by the media. So, it's not there to "sell" anything but rather to make the brand (logo and name) real to the people. This means they subconsciously recognize the brand after this campaign as something they have seen in real life, rather than a thing that has been posted on the internet.

We think that by putting up this massive real life add campaign, we create a sense of reality, thus trust to the media exposure we are going to get a week later. No need for any call to action at that stage.

I like to repeat we chose this multi algo path because it seems to be the most stable, safe and fair option to distribute the Auroracoin ledger. Our main focus lies with general adoption of Auroracoin by the Icelandic people, we are not a coin that wants to re-invent the wheel al over, we want to provide the means to get a decentralized currency in the hands of Icelanders.

So is there a container ship loaded with top notch GPU's on its way to Iceland ready to be plugged into a geo-thermal powered farm?
I wish you success in achieving a cryptocurrency economy. If Icelanders adopt it, it should give it a lot of intrinsic value. However, the coin can be mined and traded globally, so it will be interesting to see how this balances out. Unfortunately crypto currency market caps aren't that high that there are still too many rich people who could manipulate the market price quite easily if they chose to do so. But hopefully those shackles can be broken, I would like to see it happen.

Working close to these guys, I have to say that money is never a limitation.  I always push for them to use M1 funds - and they always end up digging into their own pockets to get stuff paid-done.

Has this been paid for?

How are you paying for this?


Like almost all development costs, the dev team personally advanced the funds for this. We had to because of the short timeframe we had to order one of the few open spots on the bus companies calendar.

We do however plan to have a crowdfunding from the Foundation's M1 fund among Icelanders to pay for it. This way we can get more AUR into the hands of the market we target to support.

No, on roughly the 1st of May AUR will hard-fork to multi-algo.

When did your coin copy Digibytes Multi-Algo? Is AUR the 2nd coin to fork to it?

First multi-algo was Huntercoin, with 90% of rewards mined using the Huntercoin game built in the wallet, 5% Scrypt, 5% SHA256d
Second was Myriad, with SHA256d, Scrypt, Groestl, Skein, Qubit
Third was Saffroncoin, with SHA256d, Scrypt, Blake256, Groestl, X11
Fourth maybe Parallelcoin...? Scrypt + SHA256
Fifth I think was Joincoin? WIth many algorithms
Sixth was DigiByte, the same algorithms copied from Myriad, but they used their own difficulty adjustment method.

Auroracoin will copy DigiByte, the same algorithms as MYR, plus DGB's difficulty adjustment.

We indeed used the repo of Digibyte to build our new codebase. We have done this with consent of the Digibyte team and are grateful for their cooperation. Meanwhile we also acknowledge that most of the Digibyte code has been provided by the Myriad team, so we are, by proxy equally grateful to them!
