Aurora Bounty
Aurora has reserved up to ~3% of our token sale (2,500,000 AURA/50 DVIP) for use in our bounty.

See Full Bounty Details Here

Excuse me, are you sure this is the right link to the bounty thread? Cuz the bounty manager said it is over. I was about to follow this awesome project campaign.

How comes the bounty campaign is over halfway during the ICO? Never seen something like that. It doesn't speak for the capacity of the team of organizing things, even something as easy as a bounty campaign. Perhaps they could explain why.

I was actually asking myself the same question, its very unusual that the bounty ends before the ICO can officially end.

However, the idea behind this project seems to be solid and interesting, it might possibly make it in the future, I will consider investing once I have finished reading the white paper. Its also interesting that two tokens are being offered during this ICO, which is DVIP and Aurora. Do both these tokens use the same algorithm? since it was already specified that Aura uses proof of stake. Is there a specific meaning for DVIP? I like the fact that only 1600 tokens will be sold during this ICO, this might quickly accelerate the value of tokens. Good luck with the project.

Hi, and thanks for you interest in participating in the bounty! We did not find the bounty to be a very effective use of our time once the sale was in full swing and as such we decided to end it early. You can see in the thread that it was very well executed and we had quite a lot of participation. We had also pushed back our sale a bit and didn't want to make the bounty hunters work longer than we had agreed.

In regards to the token sale, yes we have taken a bit of an unusual approach with the membership (DVIP) purchase and the network token (AURA) airdrop. DVIP is a crypto membership that comes with free trading on IDEX until 2021 and double AURA rewards (from the rewards program https://tinyurl.com/AuroraRewards) for life after the free trade period is over. To use the membership all you have to do is hold the token in the same wallet you use for trading on IDEX (do not deposit it to the exchange). The smart contract and system will do the rest, automatically calculating how much DVIP you hold (if less than 1) and giving the trader the appropriate discount.

Each DVIP also comes with 50,000 AURA tokens. AURA is our utility token that will be used for POS staking our sidechain once IDEX moves from ethereum mainnet to an ethereum sidechain for scaling. AURA token holders will stake our chain and get paid in IDEX trade fees for providing the security to the network. As Aurora expands into decentralized banking the revenue from that venture will also flow back to AURA stakers for running the network.

So for each DVIP you get free trades on IDEX for 3 years, double AURA rewards for life after that and 50,000 AURA tokens. DVIP works now and AURA will be used for staking as soon as we have our sidechain live.
