The airdrop was donne by using the kennitala ID system and moving bytes of computer generated data

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennitala
The initial hype arround AUR just before the airdrop when 31.8 of them worth 600$+, attracted 30.000+ airdrop requests.
After the dump the number of second airdrop request went down to 5000+
And the 3'rd airdrop request went even lower to 2500+
Because the value of the airdop coins is so low now, they have no use in merchant transaction. It's something that you just trade if you have a taste for risk or you firmly believe in the concept propose by AUR coin.
But with the newly dedicated foundation that holds a marketing and development budget, this will change in time.

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.

Let me share come facts and opinions I have about AUR.

1. I proved to myself it was a scam when I did some peer lookups during the airdrop,there was less then 150 active nodes. I would say less then 70 at this point in time.
2. The developer is not from Iceland, this is the reason you will never ever get him to reveal his true identity.
3. AUR was created by a smart and patient investor who most likely can wait it out and present some feel good stories to con people.
4. Same sock accounts used to defend the coin.
5. Not in a million years was 40 000 AUR given to unique people as per point 1.

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.

Always an excuse for everything?

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!

So are the bank(gang)sters who were responsible for the 2008 crash.

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.

Bulduro is a phantom, lets make that clear.

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.

Try look in the mirror and keep a straight face, repeat what you just typed.
