@Eggert, don't know what is a chill account or if that include me - but I understand your point - and shared most of it few time ago. But I personnaly know one of the foundation guy, Hermann, and i can tell you this is one of the most honest guy i know online. So the PnD fear is inexistant.

Do starting a new coin would have been a better move ?   I don't know, but the fact that Baldur Odinsen burned premine, that he never dumped any (you remember, when Aur was pumped by whales, was worth few bucks!) - is a good legacy to continue - no matter the strategic mistake done.

Aur is 45 in market cap, have a decent limited supply, is very well supported, have manpower and knowledge, have a nice branding, so i'm ok with pushing this project on a lot, and i do hope it will be the 2015 success story. Nobody is forced to buy some and help the team - but i did and there is some new face on a regular basis - it's pretty motivating (and fun).
