Fact is, Balduro is NOT going to hold on the pre-mine! This is a fact because there are only two options:

1. Balduro destroys the pre-mine as promised
2. Balduro doen not destroy the pre-mine and we do it for him in a hard fork

Sometimes life can be simple 

Option 1 is not going to happen, lets be real. So start working towards option 2 or you will still be waiting here until next year living a dream. Make it happen dev!

I have not been following this coin for awhile, if he has been keeping to his word then wait it out.
Look he's not lying when he says he will destroy the premine because he never gave a date and time. So it might get destroyed tomorrow or next month or next year or next decade.

It will be almost a year now though , my bet is that he waiting for a community takeover of the coin.

couple hours left, but I'll be travelling for a few days and have to go now, so I'm posting prematurely:

looks like I won the bet, rocanonz?

I don't think that would work... Bitcoin is a nice proof of this (not the only one though).

Surely someone knows Balduro personally outside the forums.  If not, has anyone doxed him to find him IRL?

A simple phone call or knock on his door for answers is better than sitting here worrying about the unknown.  Go straight to the source.

I agree, this is a flawed system, like I pointed out in my post: "I'm not sure if this is in the right direction or not. This kind of system will only move the money printing corruption into the political arena, where politicians pick the people who decide how much money the Central bank should print and then they, the politicians, spend it into the economy."

Baldur is reading this forum, I'm sure. He removed the airdrop page and also rerouted auroracoin.org to http://auroraspjall.is/ on the 24th of March, which has been talked about on this forum.

I have been in close contact with Balduro from the beginning. It has always been clear to me that his plan was to launch this project and setup the initial parameters, but he also made it clear he was not intending to run or manage things forever. He wanted to create a community that would take over for he was trying to make this a truly decentralized coin. That's why I still believe he will deliver on his promise to destroy the pre-mine once this community has proven to be able to be selfsupporting. This is what will happen shortly as Dinobotta described above...

Still, if nothing happens in a decent timeframe, we also have the opportunity to rule out the pre-mine addresses during the inevitable hard fork. So either way, we're good...
