What makes me think is first when the AUR project was recalled, they said it was for Icelander people, and then plans changed to convince political parties and looking forward for coming elections in Iceland. I don't know.
That was not said by the foundation, or dev team, but people speculating on the coin. Get your facts straight.
It is sometime difficult to separate sources - and I know that most people in crypto think a lot of false things about AUR. I can't wait to have Pétur - Hlynur doing the RockStar around - putting the facts straight as you say. I now know the whole story - but even if we write it here - only fews will see - and most will have hard time wondering if it's the ''true'' story or not - and I don't blame them - altcoin scene has been mostly unethical practices from inception, people (me the first) are nervous.
Btw man thank you for this thread (FOR TRADERS!) :
