First off, all Icelanders learn English from a very young age, and as for me personally; I went to university abroad and I've played online games since the 90's.

Secondly, you are right.  This might very well be a scam for the very reason you've stated that the devs refuse to let go of control over the premine wallets... However, I for one hope you'll be proven wrong -- and I wish you hoped it too.  Considering the buzz in Icelandic social media, I do believe 3% is not a far-fetched number at all and wouldn't be surprised to see 10% by the end of the week.  

Third, unless balduro has an Icelander proofreading everything he says; seeing Icelandic slang bleed through in his English writing(and his actual Icelandic skills) is incredibly impressive for a foreigner.  The official Icelandic spokesperson could be doing more to shut down the naysayers by providing his real identity, but as long as he hasn't explicitly stated his intent to divulge his identity beyond national television, I'm going to help keep his secret for now.

Last, there was a link to your thread about attacking the chain on the official auroracoin forums and here I am -- as if by magic.

Is that the reason why VC/BTC shoot up on AGX
followed by NOBL/BTC & DOGE/BTC coins.

hey dumbass!! you do know this is a forum right?!? Last I checked forums only allow text to be entered. I've yet to hear anyone speak `American English'.

How can you be a senior member of this forum and be such a fucking douchebag?!? Every god damn post you have created about AUR has been to blacklist it as a scam... What did one of the devs, steal your woman from you??

Oh and it's on it's way up again.. 0.01256657 on Cryptsy.

It tells me that just as you don't trust them to stand by their words, they don't trust a 3rd party not to run off with or properly secure the wallets.  You do know what happened over here, right?  People entrusted 3rd parties(banks) with their life savings and have nothing today...  No savings, no real estate, no dignity, and the govt basically told the people to fuck off...  To us who want to believe, the people behind AUR are individuals like the rest of the nation who have been through the same shit as the rest of the nation and who want to try to make things better like the rest of the nation...  I'd rather put my faith in those people than official govt scams that everybody already knows are going to fuck over the people in favor of fattening the wallets of a few select sociopaths in congress and their friends.  I'd rather leave the wallets in the hands of those who came up with the idea and just maybe have the idealistic vision to follow through with it.  If the AUR people turn out to be no better, then I have no hope left for this country or any of its citizens...  Plus, if they turn out to be crooks -- they'll end up hunted offline.

It very well could be the devs behind most of the Air Drop wallets as you say, it could also be that Iceland is yet again proving itself to be a quick tech adopter as usual -- I know I and people close to me are reaping the reward of these little care packages.

Nobody didn't expect the AUR to freefall after the airdrop, it's only natural after such a huge dump into the market at those ridiculously inflated prices.  What however people are relying on happening is a longer-running goal -- that local businesses will start accepting AUR in excange for goods and services, making it stronger again by actual demand rather than the speculative bubble created by a couple of big names in the financial industry.  Sure, it might never take off and reach that goal, but only time can tell whether the impact has been large enough to cause ripples of the size we need to get things going.

In its simplest form, what I'm hoping will happen is that as the currency plummets, people getting their coins from the "Air Drop" will be less inclined to part with their share in hopes of the currency strengthening again, leaving a TON of it sitting in the wallets of your average Joe, mostly forgotten.  A few businesses, willing to take the risk and having the know-how to cash the currency realize this and start offering services in exchange for AUR because they know it's essentially free money with little value that people won't feel bad about parting with.  As people start happily getting rid of their low value free money in exchange for actual goods and services, other businesses will want to get in on the action, and start offering competitive prices; leading to an actual demand for AUR as a form of payment, therefore increasing its value and strengthening it on the markets.

A wishful scenario? Sure, but who knows... I just know that my friends, family and I am pretty happy with our share of the Air Drop and give our thanks to whoever is behind it. As for the devs, I really do hope they prove themselves in the long run to be less tainted by greed than the politician fucks that has our people by the balls.

Just a quick actual real life example of what is happening over here:  A local company develops the same exact product for both domestic as well as international markets.  In a local convenience store, you can actually purchase the international version of their product, that has been shipped OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND BACK IN for 2/5 of the price of the domestically marketed version... This isn't right...  It isn't right at all...

zzz...
BCX is the most annoying guy in this forum.

wow i'm so fucking surprised you, of all people here, have an arsenal of weapons   

All he/she would need to do is give out coins to the first few hundred people who make a claim.  Just enough to be able to confirm it's "legitimacy".  Just enough for people to say "a lot of icelanders on this forum have claimed their coins"  (as if there's a large number of Icelanders on this forum, for some reason)

Then they could dump the rest of the premine on exchanges and cash out, since most people will simply assume it's Icelanders cashing out.

0.01151000  now on Cryptsy..


Can I fucking use you as target practice with my arsenal of weapons??? That's really all you're good for...

He may have natural intelligence, but he also has that kind of special idiocy that it takes long, hard effort to achieve. And too much pride to simply admit he was WRONG. He and his buddies are busy moving the goalposts and shouting distractions to avoid this. He's not kidding anyone at this point.

i got my coin allotment, and i got a couple of other less-savvy or merely apathetic-to-nerd-shit people to send me theirs. i'd like to thank the absurdity of the cryptocurrency movement for allowing me to exchange bytes for other bytes and then finally to currency backed by a mode of production (and states, armies, etc)

pretty cool honestly. thanks.

You have to be the most gullible person I've seen yet. Do you really believe anything a random and anonymous person tells you on the internet?

If you guys think this does not happen will all of these airdrop/50%+ premine etc etc, then your just silly

you have to have an icelandic FB account created before the airdrop or an SMS number based in Iceland

Because a lot of icelanders on this forum have claimed their coins? Please stop. I know you're a smart guy but you're making yourself look stupid now.

Altcoin Hitler BCX strikes back, BCX doing his job of spreading hatred! Keep it going dude!

Why should I careee?

I really don't care!

Fuck the 'A' word

Why should I care?

the coin was proven not a scam. The dev is giving away all the coins. The coin is succeeding. Many people already claimed their coins and cash them out. I'm sure a lot of new people got into crypto because of Auroracoin. I think it's a great thing, why are you STILL bashing this coin? Can't you just admit you were wrong? You were always calling it a scamcoin and saying the dev would not keep his word and shit. Guess what, he did. Now be a man and stop bashing and admit that you were wrong for once.

just goes to prove what i said from the very start

the very premise of these coins are retarded.... who is going to bag hold for 100's of millions so it can be given to strangers.

Most stupid concept i have every heard. To field such an idea to such a bunch of greedy profiteers was just mind blowing.

Which goes the the point that: attacking coins is pretty much a waste of Hashes..  Things will work itself out eventually
