Thanks for that info LTEX.
Some other questions I'm hoping you can help answer as well"
Do you guys support/recommend this online Auroracoin HIVE wallet? (
https://webwallet.auroracoin.is/)
Now that there is going to be a AUR-ISK exchange what will be the plan for the Icelanders from there? As an example: If i'm a Icelander and I can now buy AUR with my ISK what would I do from there once I have some AUR?
What stood out about Digibyte's code that the AUR team decided to go with that instead?
Were there any consideration in using a 'proof of stake' protocol?
Well, I developed the webwallet port myself and it's officially endorsed by the Aurarad Foundation, so I guess yeah, I support it ;-)
The best part about having the exchange is that Icelanders now finally are able to legally obtain a crypto currency. Of course some might use it to exchange the AUR for BTC or $ later, but we think most are going to see the potential it has as an alternative way to transfer value without the ridiculous inflation and interest rates ISK has.
We chose Digibyte mainly because it makes most sense to have a multi algo that secures the blockchain and also helps fair distribution by making it possible to mine on many (non ASIC) devices. We also believe the foundation under the Digibyte team is solid so we can cooperate on future developments.
We discussed POS of course, but decided to stay with this multi algo POW for many reasons, one of the most important ones being fair distribution and decentralization.
