Do you know what the developer did to advertise AUR to the people in Iceland. I am part of the Guldencoin community and as you can see with our distribtion stats under 2000 people have claimed with a population of 17 million in the Netherlands. The coin has also just turned 1 year old and has plenty merchants, been on the media and even RT but only 1918 people have claimed. Any tips or ideas the AUR developer used would be welcomed.

Something that is a concern is that EFL with the same coin supply also claimed around 40 000 people in the Netherlands claimed but that was proven as a scam as the coin creators got caught out by having bigger sells in EFL on the exchanges then was meant to be in supply at the time. Now there has been community takeover and they also got a foundation built. Looks like AUR going to head in same direction.

I know some members in Guldencoin have invested in AUR so came to check it out so please let me know how they advertised and I can give this information to our team.

Try to market Guldencoin when the Euro has crashed 70% against all other currencies in the world and I'm sure many people will be ready to try something new. That what happened in Iceland.

These are valid points Dinobotta makes, Pijpenstelen. Iceland is a country that has been completely cut of from foreign financial markets after 2008. They are the only country in the world that have overthrown their government (look up "pots and pans revolution") cause of the crisis and even have jailed the bankers that were involved.

Also the entire country consists of 330.000 inhabitants of which over 70% live in Reykjavik. A concentrated community that can be compared with the Dutch city of Eindhoven. That's a lot easier to reach than 17.000.000 people shattered all over our (I'm Dutch as well as you know) country.

This is why, in the Netherlands, we need initiatives like KwartjeTerug to get people interested in a more playful way. In Iceland the mentality is already very serious when it comes to "breaking the shackles" from fiat currency.
