It's possible to add a hardware key like ledger to the wallet?

What do you mean?
Do you have an example?

HODL for life.
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.

Yah I just got Skype.

You are welcome to Skype me about Auroracoinsome progress in southern africa

How are people in southern Africa taking to AUR? Have they heard of bitcoin or AUR the first introduction to crypto you give them ?

MOST people know about bitcoin here.

Max keiser just posted a great interview with a guy in Johannesburg south Africa. https://youtu.be/WxHmUndip_Q

Catch the interview from 12 minutes
 Max describes south africa as one of the hottest places for crypto right now.

Another stat,  80% of Africa is unbanked.

Most importantly, max references people in Iceland at 8 minutes 14 seconds and sayes they will soon take over the financial underworld

Bottom line here, Auroracoin was not created to be perfectly distributed. It has always been an experiment to create a real cryptocurrency economy and to see if and how that would function along with seeing what obstacles would be on the way, be they legal, social, technical or whatever else that might pop up. The only important factor of the airdrop was to reach as many people as possible. Even if you would cut the claim number for the first phase of the airdrop by half or hell let's just go with one third, you still have a higher % of Icelandic people holding Auroracoin than any other nation can say for any cryptocurrency (Bitcoin included).

I love cryptocurrencies and the disruption they can possibly bring to the current cancer of a monetary system that we are forced to live with now. I love the idea that maybe some day I can securely store the value I create for myself and my family and it will not thin out in front of my eyes. When it really dawned on me what potentials are stored in cryptos, I saw for the first time that we as individuals are presented with this amazing opportunity to take the power of decision away from corrupted bank institutes and a government that is either enabling, impotent or indifferent to this biggest threat to our financial security. I do not speak for others here but as far as I'm concerned that is the main reason I have spent more time than I have available on cryptocurrencies for the past two years.

Why I decided to work on and support Auroracoin?
I do believe that Iceland is the perfect place to kick start a cryptocurrency economy. It has all the factors. Complete bank crash in 2008 making the public here extremely aware of the fatal flaws of the current monetary system and the corruption within the banks, we have been under capital controls since the crash in 2008 and it has been established by the central bank that the public will not get an exception from the capital controls to buy cryptocurrencies, Iceland has the highest Internet usage in the world and the people here are very technically inclined. So to start a cryptocurrency economy in Iceland you would need to create a cryptocurrency that is either distributed to the Icelandic public or is purchasable in large quantities for ISK. Auroracoin has already been largely distributed to the Icelandic public and more importantly it got massive attention throughout the nation. Regardless if people understood it or not it got attention and people know the name. This is why I believe that Auroracoin has still one of the best opportunities among cryptos to get actual daily use instead of just using it as a token for day trading.

Lack of knowledge about aurora coin is an obstacle to its adoption in Iceland. 

A bigger obstacle however is peoples lack of knowledge about money creation in generaL.

It's only when people learn about how money creation creates poverty through devaluation that crYpto becomes a way out of slavery rather than an intellectual choice for becoming wealthy quickly.

Out of the 2600 claims of 638 AUR only 383 addresses have that amount in them.
Out of the 5024 claims of 318 AUR only 615 addresses have that amount in them.


Isn't it obvious that people claimed for parents, children or friends. Of course there are not 2600 addresses with 638 coins on them or 5025 with 318 coins on them.

Take me for an example, I claimed for myself, my wife, two children to the same address. I then claimed for my parents on another address and my in laws in another address. This way I claimed for 8 people in all three phases of the airdrop but only used 3 addresses and none of them has 638 or 318 coins in them.

The top Three persons are indeed board members of the Aurarad Foundation, but they are also developers. A big misunderstanding I have seen in Crypto communities over the last couple of years is that people tend to think developers are the same as coders. The development of auroracoin consists of more than just typing code and compiling awesome wallets. That's a serious, yet miner part of the real development.

The true developers are the ones that develop the coin as a whole, including creating awareness, educating people and developing a solid user base and attracting merchants. Even what I'm doing right now, explaining this, is part of the development of Auroracoin.

In more detail, Pétur is doing a great job in setting up the foundation and creating the OSX and IOS wallets. Hermann is working hard and close with Yan to promote Auroracoin on all possible media and is responsible for the new exchange that is about to be launched. Hlynur has proven to be priceless by engaging in meetings with Government and Tax departments and giving lectures and presentations on Auroracoin all over Iceland.

I would say these guys do amazing development for Auroracoin!

Why not have adamastor be a developer in South Africa for AUR. The more development we have the better.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14209672

I missed this statement. What about all the developers you have outside of Iceland,  what is in it for them to make AUR work within the borders of Iceland besides making a stack of btc which they can actually use.?

After thinking about this more I have changed my stance on AUR for Iceland and why the development team wants to keep it this way.
Icelanders are cut off from being able to transfer money out the country and it makes it easy pickings IF you can get access to the local Iceland market. Having other countries or places accept AUR would make it international and AUR would have to compete with all currencies. That wouldn't end well. Angry Angry

Lets pretend we don't know it's a scam and look at the basic math.

Total AUR = 7,883,372

From the Wiki:
When phase one of the airdrop had completed on July 24, 2014 it was estimated that 1,126,674 AUR had been disbursed among 35,430 claimants.
Phase 2 claim was increased to 318 coins. About 5024 claims totalling almost 1.6 million coins were made
Phase 3 nearly 1.7 million coins being claimed by more than 2600 Icelanders. By this time the price had fallen so sharply that the payout had increased to 636 coins per recipient

Total AUR = 7,883,372

Phase 1 = 1,126,674 (14.3% total supply)
Phase 2 = 1,600000 (20.2% total supply)
Phase 3 = 1,700000 (21.5% total supply)
Foundation +- 1 000000 (12.6% total supply)

Total % distributed = 56% to a total of 43054 claimants.

5,344,628 was burned a no longer part of the total supply.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/aur/#!rich

Wealth Distribution:

Top N  addresses   Holdings                   Percentage
Top 10                   2,122,527  AUR           26.92 %  
Top 100           5,025,521 AUR           63.75 %
Top 1000                   6,542,710 AUR           82.99 %

All 34183                   7,883,397 AUR           100 %

This should raise some serious eyebrows, I would suggest that 5% made it to real people in Iceland as a best case scenario.


If you take a look at the rich list distribution for Auroracoin you can see that 17k addresses have between 10-100 coins and another 3k have more than 100 coins. These are the ones that claimed and did not sell.

2.7k have between 1-10 and 3.5k have between 0.1-1 and I'm guessing these are the people that sold or tried to sell on Mintpal and Cryptsy.

NB. the two largest addresses after the AURburn.. address with ~500k Auroracoin are Cryptsy's and Mintpal's cold wallets, which I believe are lost forever.

In total there are ~34K addresses and of course when the airdrop was live some people claimed for their parents, spouses or children so there are addresses that got many claims. In other cases some addresses might have tens or hundreds of claims that can be explained by high school kids collecting airdrops from other kids but usually these kids got paid upfront with cash and someone collected the airdrop with the only purpose of selling for profit.

Buying and selling Auroracoin for profit is not strange if you think about it, guess we are all doing it up to a point.

There was one case of fraud that Baldur himself (the creator of Auroracoin) told us about and it didn't involve him. This happened late in phase 2 of the airdrop where someone created a Facebook scam that was disguised as a lottery from a Icelandic company, N1.  This person got people to give him access to their Facebook page and this person claimed airdrops with it. After this Baldur disabled Facebook to claim airdrop coins.

NB, the price had fallen down to today's level after phase 1 but this scammer claimed for perhaps 100-500 people but didn't really get rich from this.

Have a look at the repeats in these addresses with the same timestamp, one of many examples.

https://bitinfocharts.com/auroracoin/address/AY1adUH7inLpFkb62AwoTBroW26unwQ8ew

One of many examples is a address that has claimed one of each airdrop type

There is real claims that were made but a lot of obvious rigged claims in the mix.

It''s the same coin mate. just new owners . Half The undistributed remainder(minus initial foundation funds) of the 50% premine was destroyed.

Just for clarity.

-Fuse

THIS!!!!

The premine was distributed fairly to all citizens of Iceland, the new team is doing this out of the goodness of there hearts to show the coin can be a success. No bagholders here besides the foundation. Moon here we come!

Do not believe everything you read.

this received couple of airdrops today:
ALTDfdRoDeAcczUgkG7cbpFZkHN74VfE3d

sends it on to AXuwBHwM44NZ2cuYqB3a3hWk8XVC4zo4n2

i think i have not seen a single legitimate claim of an airdrop today. Everything goes to the same 10 to 15 adresses of which 13 send on to the other two.

all airdrops of today more or less are linked to

AXuwBHwM44NZ2cuYqB3a3hWk8XVC4zo4n2

and

AYEkRf9fNbLVkCTjHBpKHZD1X578TaYK6g


the wallets receiving premine today and not linked to these two adresses yet, will be linked to them within 72 hours.

these two adresses claim airdrops and receive same time airdrops from other adresses which claim on the same blocks even. So pretty much every claim of an airdrop you saw yesterday and today (and will keep seeing) will end up in one of the two adresses above.


Auroracoin airdrop is predictable. This is a huge bust.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446062.msg9699881;topicseen#msg9699881

Just read this page and you see why new coin is needed for Iceland. A fresh start without any doubt of corruption.

For new users you.must know what you getting into with AUR. Some of the community here are victims of dumps by original airdrops and need to make it work to offload their coins.

Walking away is not a option or they risk losing a lot of investment. A new coin for Iceland should of been created to give a crypto a real chance in Iceland.

There will be community members that will defend the above because they have a lot to lose.

From what I read there was a Facebook scam that was used in the distribution and one of the members had few hundred family and a few hundred Facebook friends that he was able to claim for. At most it was one or two people that abused the airdrop and dumped out when the price was high.

They already made their bitcoin and wouldn't of hung around all this time. I believe LTEX has good intentions to mend the damage and uncertainty caused with the airdrop.
