Topic: In 40 Hours already 4% of Iceland's population claimed their Auroracoins (Read 5100 times)

When the coin was released, the devs bought them up and artificially drove the price up to $95.00 each and then extrapolated that across the entire premine which was not in circulation

The dev team had no long term plans for this coin.
The goal was to make it to the air drop and cash out the laundered coins.
They just didnt plan on the "obstacles" to the easy money.
~BCX~

It's working now. It currently says

auroracoin website is down?

I just signed up this forum today being a newcomer to Crypto-currency (I'm an Icelander who got coins through the airdrop). It is really sad to see the amount of negativity and destructive mindset that a lot of people here have. In fact i've never seen anything like it on other forums ( I frequent forums about all kinds of things, music, films, architecture etc.).

Peace and love from Reykjavik

Your are joking. The number of transactions of 31.8 AUR are much fewer than the total number!!!

Just have a look at any block!!

Also only the transactions with output of 31.8 count.

There are people getting several times 31.8. Just have a look at this:

I counted the total number of transactions most of them are these 31.8

Doing it manually will take me ages

Is the block 5400 thing really because of BCX egotrip? Not believing if this is for real or not? (or being convinced that it's a scam, because thats basically what is keeps saying).
Why not have a look and see if the devs keep their word. Looks like until now, they seem to be doing ok. Sure we could use some more confirmation and actual info from Iceland, but hey, let's see where this experiment go's.

Why break something that could potentially create something great for the icelandic economy. I'd be really disappointed if the DDOS will continue when the succes of the coin has been proven. You can always destroy it later if it's a scam.
This could potentially be a perfect grass roots initiative to break loose from the financial ties that have dragged the country in extreme inflation.
If it wouldnt be so cold, id consider moving to Iceland, because they were the only country with the balls to let the banks fail, while the rest of us is still waiting for that to happen..

Such a shame that some guy tries to compensates the feeling about his reproductive organ with a big mouth and bunch of botnet systems, when the worlds crypto reputation is at stake.
Can't we buy him a nice hummer or something? I'll donate for that cause..

More than five thousand Icelanders have today attended aurora coin - rafmynt which was started at midnight last night . Every one of the country you can apply for 31.8 units of coins on her website , but it is necessary to identify themselves with either a phone number or a Facebook account. Considering the market value of the currency at the moment is a value assigned to each one about 40 thousand ISK . Has it gone down somewhat today, but many had predicted that with the large increase of the currency in circulation would lower its price . As I write 161,257.8 units have been loaded, but it amounts to about 1.54 % of the 10.5 million units that are available free for Icelanders.
It is not known who is behind the project , but Baldur Frigg Óðinsson registered for press releases about the coin . No one by that name is listed in the National Register , but there 's probably been referring to the Nordic runic Committee . Then, the home of the currency registered in Panama , but it can be difficult to trace who the real owner of the sites listed there.

Central Bank , the Financial Supervisory Authority and other government agencies have warned the media and called him virtual funds in the notice that was sent out that day. Said there include the value of the currency would be unsafe from time to time and the use of carry risks . There is still unclear whether the use of the currency violates the law of capital controls .

Coin has attracted much attention of foreign media and include discussion of it on the website of Forbes and Guardians today.
