We are first now starting to really go forward with promoting Auroracoin in Iceland. The reason we haven't been pushing the project much here is we wanted to have a solid base first and eliminate as many uncertainties as we possibly could before we started to introduce the project to others here in Iceland. The reason why is simple, Iceland is quite small and getting major attention is relatively easy if you know what to do. So we did not want to go forward and get the nation's attention just to blow that opportunity on bad media because we weren't ready.
Some of the things that we knew had to be in place before we could really move forward were things like the premine burn, ISK / AUR exchange, Legally established entity in Iceland to represent Auroracoin (Auraráð - Icelandic Auroracoin Foundation) and more secure and stable blockchain. This we have done along with many other things that have to be in place.
Now when we have these things in place and we have a solid group of like minded people who are in this project for the long term, we are ready to start promoting Auroracoin in Iceland. This will be a long and difficult uphill battle that will be serious hard work. This is why we are planning to try and get as much initial attention as we can and make the nation Auroracoin aware.
This is where the idea for the bus stop advertisements comes in. For some of you this might sound strange but the fact is that here in Reykjavík we don't have much tradition for posters and billboards to be spread all over the place. Surely we have but it's just not that much. If you were to count the advertising posts and billboards in Reykjavík you would without a doubt see that the bus stop hangers would be the majority. That is why we are thinking to have a 100 bus hanger campaign in Reykjavík for one week that leads up to us opening the ISX exchange. And at that time we will use all our little tentacles to pull all the strings we possibly can with everyone we know to get as much media coverage as we possibly can. Though nothing is guaranteed we like to hope that the first cryptocurrency exchange in Iceland would get some media coverage.
So the idea here with the bus stop ads is to try and have them as simple as possible. Just huge white poster with just the Auroracoin logo and name (Nothing has been decided regarding this so I'm just pitching my idea personal of the posters) and nothing else (maybe a simple phrase and a QR in the corner). The reason I would not like to have anything else is that this will get attention. Beside all the people who will see this because they are taking a bus from that hanger or sitting in a bus that stops at the hanger then there are over 6million car drive by for these 100 hangers in this week. People will see this huge white poster that completely separates itself from everything else in the environment when they drive past it and it will burn into their subconscious. People who notice this will be curious because they don't see anything more there, they will want to know more. I don't really think you need to tell anyone here that he needs to go to auroracoin.is to know more about Auroracoin, that is pretty much a given. So bottom line we are not parading anything nor would it be a propaganda in any way. Just simply making people aware and curious for the real exposure we want to get when we take the Exchange live.

Topic: AURORACOIN - Empowering Financial Freedom - page 49. (Read 138034 times)
just spoke to the gulden community.
they're not to pleased with ltex, fuse and bio mike.
Whats up that? is gulden coin a back up plan for aurora?
apparently you guys are still big holders of this crypto-coin?

That discussion has nothing to do with Auroracoin so I would like to ask you guys to please respect that and discuss that elsewhere.
No one is telling anyone here to back off. We just like you guys to respect the fact that all members of our team share the same clear vision as to why we dedicate our time and efforts to this project.
I can understand perfectly well there are some of you that are here for speculation and profit. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps you can also understand that the foundation under your future profits lies not in hypes and pumps, but rather in real development of a strong user base in Iceland. So perhaps I can ask you kindly once more to have speculation discussions in the post Molecular was so kind to setup? You can find it here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/aur-auroracoin-market-observer-1067036
We as a team have chosen to invest in the long term. That means we are going to build on real acceptance of Auroracoin in Iceland. For this we have been building a strong foundation. This exists not only of the new multi-algo code, but also in the AUR-ISK exchange we have build (beta.ix.is).
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 board members of the foundation are visiting our Dutch team on the 24th - 27th of march to work dedicated on future marketing plans. We expect a lot of local media coverage and are especially excited to announce the launch of the ISX exchange. This will be the first time since the currency controls came in effect that people of Iceland have direct access to a cryptocurrency with ISK.
And there is one very big thing in the making that will probably get over 100K Icelanders actively using AUR within this year. All of this from within Iceland and together with businesses that have chosen to partner up with us!

I would suggest we ''rework'' the design a bit, but anyway I do like the idea a lot. So few days before to open the exchange and few before the press release in and out iceland - this will attract people curiosity - and encourage convos about AUR. April 27-28 ? My understanding is there was not many avalaible week.
Just chiming in to say that I love the idea of the bus stop advertising.
With people waiting around for their ride, looking up AUR would almost be second nature.
The straightforward simplicity of the design is nice, which will give drivers on the roads, and those from a distance, some image impact also.
I understand that this is a "rough", and believe that since this is local and focused, those involved will know what works best, but wanted to point out that some kind of blurb that explains really quickly what AUR is could be a good idea to include, such as "Currency Empowering Financial Freedom", along with some finer print (for those up close) explaining how this will benefit the user, and of course a QR code, linking to an appropriate website.
Excited to see what is happening!
The bus stop campaign is designed to get ppl reminded of auroracoin again for what is to come. Thanks for your suggestion on the posters, we will defiantly add a QR code to lead ppl down the rabbit hole.
For those curious of why a bus stop campaign check out this map of the bus routes in Reykjavik here is a map over all routes http://www.straeto.is/media/leidarkerfi/kort/HEILDARKORT-2016.pdf
As you can see Reykjavik is not a very big place and we will cover most routes with posters at 100 stops, getting the attention from drivers and bus passengers.
I want a polo and other clothes with AUR colors/logo on !
And I want a poster for my office too.
And I want a poster for my office too.
The primary target of the first bus-stop campaign is to create awareness of the brand Auroracoin. The more info on that poster, the more distraction people get from the brand itself. So the first run will be just the logo and the name (perhaps a small www.auroracoin.is in the bottom right corner).
After the first campaign there will follow a lot of media attention on the release of the exchange. During that campaign we will start another run with the slogan that will be something similar to "Empowering Financial Freedom". There will perhaps also be a QR code on it that links to our site.
These posters are there to envision the brand and to support other media campaigns, they are not there to sell the whole story in one single blow.

who will be employed to design and print and distribute these posters and will they accept auroracoin for the job?
The only way to distribute such a large campaign is through the official media company that runs the bus-terminals. So they take care of everything and no, I doubt they will accept AUR already. I guess they probably will next year ;-)

Would be cool though if there was hidden text on the poster, like ghost print. At that point you could say whatever you wanted about the bankers.

I think the guys were planning on including some info like that in text that can be read up close. I don't think they were going to include a ton of info, but at least add the website and contact information for further research. Maybe a little more, but not entirely sure. I know the overall design goal is to be simple, clean, and highly visible.
From what the guys were saying, it seems most people know about Auroracoin in Iceland already because of the airdrop campaign. I take this ad initiative as an awareness campaign of sorts, but the foundation members could probably give greater insight into the plan and goals.

Danslip, perhaps you have some skills you could add to this project to help enhance the value of your investment.
Programmer? Graphic artist? Website building? Or maybe you could offer a bounty so that others who aren't as fortune as you can build something for Auroracoin?
The more participation - real participation, not peanut gallery stuff - we get, the faster your investment is likely to appreciate.

The board members of the foundation are visiting our Dutch team on the 24th - 27th of march to work dedicated on future marketing plans. We expect a lot of local media coverage and are especially excited to announce the launch of the ISX exchange. This will be the first time since the currency controls came in effect that people of Iceland have direct access to a cryptocurrency with ISK.
And there is one very big thing in the making that will probably get over 100K Icelanders actively using AUR within this year. All of this from within Iceland and together with businesses that have chosen to partner up with us!
I can understand perfectly well there are some of you that are here for speculation and profit. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps you can also understand that the foundation under your future profits lies not in hypes and pumps, but rather in real development of a strong user base in Iceland. So perhaps I can ask you kindly once more to have speculation discussions in the post Molecular was so kind to setup? You can find it here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/aur-auroracoin-market-observer-1067036
We as a team have chosen to invest in the long term. That means we are going to build on real acceptance of Auroracoin in Iceland. For this we have been building a strong foundation. This exists not only of the new multi-algo code, but also in the AUR-ISK exchange we have build (beta.ix.is).
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 effort is ''international'' - but the target and the ''direction'' is from Iceland, no doubt in my mind. Its a free world, but guys from US, Canada and Neatherland are all supporting the icelandic crew. And this icelandic crew is growing lately ! Larus, and Gudmundur joined Hlynur, Petur and Hermann - and i know for a fact that it is just a matter of time before way more people from iceland embrace the project actively.
The target is 330 000 angry ppl in iceland - and we are now planning the campaign circle May 1 - and I would like people here to focus on that matter ! I don't want to spoil the show, but I know that one of the effort may be a massive bus station Auroracoin poster exposure (100 bus station geant posters for 1 week so we attract people attention). Not sure if it's already decided by the icelandic crew - but it was something they considered a lot, and I think it would be a very good (but somewhat expensive) approach.
What you guys think ?

Please save us the sentimental bullshit, we are all here to make money from AUR, there is far more countries in a less fortunate situation then Iceland but Iceland is a easy target to get on the crypto train because it's a small country and everyone is in one city. Change comes from within not from abroad, coins like NLG are run by Dutch people and there is a good chance they care about what they doing because they exacting change within their own borders.
This is the same as the US invading the middle east to bring about change, how has this worked out? All dealings within Iceland must be done by the foundation members who are from Iceland not by the foreign developers.
The "all" in your post suggests that you speak for many? Dont think so, what you basicaly say is "I am here to make profit". Maybe you would benefit from looking a litle bit further as your keyboard and your wallet. In your mind it's all about making profit, pulling someones leg or be the first to grab the candy. That exactly the attitude that brought us in the economic situation we encounter. Greed my friend is a very bad counselor... Due to that a lot of people lost the ability to understand that it's giving and taking, sowing and reaping and in that order also! You probably don't understand all this but you would benefit if you just used your brains instead of your mouth.
I do speak for you, please save us all from the "save the world lectures" that only kindergarten kids would take seriously.
Ouch... that indeed hurts. But also learnt a lesson not to panic sell but look at the market first and then decide what to do. It's still a gamble, but an educated gamble...
Maybe whitin a couple of years you laugh about that trade and look at your investment as a very good deal.

For Danslip: Please don't argue with one of the developers of AUR. Please take the time to read the entire OP to see that 90% of the people that post here are from the dev team.
