The top Three persons are indeed board members of the Aurarad Foundation, but they are also developers. A big misunderstanding I have seen in Crypto communities over the last couple of years is that people tend to think developers are the same as coders. The development of auroracoin consists of more than just typing code and compiling awesome wallets. That's a serious, yet miner part of the real development.

The true developers are the ones that develop the coin as a whole, including creating awareness, educating people and developing a solid user base and attracting merchants. Even what I'm doing right now, explaining this, is part of the development of Auroracoin.

In more detail, Pétur is doing a great job in setting up the foundation and creating the OSX and IOS wallets. Hermann is working hard and close with Yan to promote Auroracoin on all possible media and is responsible for the new exchange that is about to be launched. Hlynur has proven to be priceless by engaging in meetings with Government and Tax departments and giving lectures and presentations on Auroracoin all over Iceland.

I would say these guys do amazing development for Auroracoin!

Why not have adamastor be a developer in South Africa for AUR. The more development we have the better.

I missed this statement. What about all the developers you have outside of Iceland, what is in it for them to make AUR work within the borders of Iceland besides making a stack of btc which they can actually use.?

This question has been answered extensively all over this thread, but I've no problem answering on my behalf. I joined the project for personnal reason (being a friend of one of the icelandic crew) - ideological reason (I think it is a project that may help widely is succesful, and not only in iceland, acting as an experiment that may show the positive of decentralized currency at a national level. Great if it help Icelandic people - but the country is relevant to me only because he it's actual conditions that are perfect for such project. We are enslaved by central banksters. It's enought - we need to show that it is possible to get rid of them.) - and finally, i'm in for the profit too (if the project succeed, my little stack may give me some financial freedom, and it would be great bonus in my life and for my familly).

That being said, if i calculate every single hour i worked ''developping'' this project the last year, I realize I would need VERY high AUR price to only break even lol. It's insane the energy/time and ressources that the dev team put in this project, and anyone working close to them see it - and it is why there is now IRL meeting each week in iceland, and online meeting twice a week : we want to organise ourself better, and giving people an occasion to jump in and see who we are, and what (how) we are doing.
