Thanks LTEX for confirming that. Also in that article says:
'' A number of factors have contributed to Auroracoins whiffing away. First of all, even though the airdropping ensured a built-in group of users, it did not give them any place to spend the money, as it did not have any strong retail support.
Due to heavy traffic, the Auroracoin website crashed many times, significantly slowing down confirmation times for receiving coins, which made trading almost impossible.''
My question is is there now any place to spend Aurora and where, is there a strong retail support now? and are you ready for the heavy traffic now...have you tested the new exchange for the any inconvenience , heavy traffic crash etc?
Thanks
Well, I can almost positively state here, there are no merchants accepting AUR officially yet. We are also happy about that, for the strong foundation to support that would not have been ready. That's what our team has been working on the past year, preparing to re-launch Auroracoin the right way, with all the tools and structures in place.
This is going to unfold very fast after the first busstop campaign. We are not going to hype anything that is not actually live, so you have to maintain a little more patience.
