Let Iceland people who want crypto buy Bitcoin or Litecoin. AUR is dead, like almost all altcoins. You harm cryptocurrency concept doing like this.. you probably don't care and just try to steal money to naive people.

I do like the name! 

1 AUR, like any other coin, can be divided up to 10^8 smaller parts... how would that not be enough? Same BS argument could be said for BTC (if it would be distributed worldwide).

BTC has a lot of negativity outside of the cryptocommunity, that would be the strength of AUR.

TNX Mate! 

And why not create a coin for you and your friends and show us why your band need a new coin ?

This quoted post shows a normal transaction, someone claimed coins, sent it to someone else, perhaps a friend or a Facebook contact who is buying coins. This someone who is buying coins from lots of people, then later sends it to an exchange and sells it.

In this case most transactions are perfectly explainable. There have been groups of Icelanders claiming airdrop coins collectively (i.e. for their friends and relatives, who didn't want to bother with setting up a wallet). Often people used one wallet for the entire family and sold to "collectors".

I understand how people get confused with these transactions and you have a valid point that starting fresh is sometimes a better option. And in a way we are doing exactly that now by forking to a new chain where all possibly questionable addresses are ruled out.

You are obviously more than welcome to start your own coin, but bare in mind that lot's of people in Iceland are already familiar with Auroracoin and we have at least 5-10% of the population that actively claimed their coins. We are also actively going to invest in local PR shortly, which means more people will get to know Auroracoin. For a new initiative to accomplish that you have to prepare to invest largely.

Oh boy, Auroracoin is really becoming popular again, for the same statements are returning. For the sake of argument, this "sock account" will try once more:

1. Even if what you say is true, it would prove nothing. The first stage of the airdrop started relatively slow. People needed to get used to everything and download and install clients. Most payout of the airdrop happened later because people simple didn't have a wallet yet after registration.

2. The developer IS from Iceland. The fact that the original domain was registered with whoisguard doesn't mean he's from Panama, for then Theymos, founder of this site must be his roommate! Balduro has been active in active chats with other people from Iceland, he was capable of engaging direct convo's in Icelandic, something a guy from Panama would not be able of.

The reason he remained anonymous is simply explainable by the fact that it would be very unwise for him to disclose his Identity. Same reason we still have no clue who Satoshi is. Emagine, at some point the pre-mine under his control was worth over 1 billion US$, you think he would have been safe from Bankers, Politicians or other criminals if he was publicly known?

3. The fact that we have come this far with Auroracoin and it still is one of the most promising projects in the history of crypto proves your right, he is smart!

4. The only accounts that are here defending developing this coin have been positively with it from the start. I think we are here because we believe in the possibilities the project offers for it's chosen parameters (Iceland, Currency Controls, only 330K inhabitants, Pots and Pans revolution, etc). The position of Balduro isn't that interesting to me anymore, we are moving on without him, something he was aiming for all the time anyway.

5. As said before, the way coins have been distributed are not simply 1 on 1, especially during the first weeks of the airdrop. I'm sometimes tracking my own accounts with BTC and lose track all the time in the maze of the blockchain.
