Alright, just joined the Discord and Telegram. First time taking a coin seriously and I'm trying to get people I know to join the community. Just one question, what is the node (the download on the website) exactly?

Wallet: 0xd25bCFf24EfF861499DC80430613A3E2012A7036

Good luck everyone!

Welcome. The node is what's called a "full node", it downloads the entire blockchain and verifies all transactions and blocks. It's needed if you plan to solo mine. It's also a command line wallet, you can check balances and make transactions, but it doesn't have a nice GUI to do those things for you.

The web wallet on the other hand doesn't require downloading the full blockchain, and has a more user friendly interface for sending/receiving aura and deploying smart contracts.

At least this is a different approach compared to everything else all this other nonsense that's out there. I actually just reviewed the white paper - not sure if it was changed or not, but last time I reviewed it I don't remember being as impressed as I was when I just reviewed it. I think it starts really strong than can use some work or more details, but the beginning impressed me, I really like this concept and idea. I can see this succeeding, it has a unique concept whereas so many new forks, eth clones, or icos, are literally the SAME "INNOVATIVE" things over and over. Like, I'm tired of hearing about AI!!! I think at this point even if a coin managed to actually incorporate AI, it will not be very innovative to me. Plus, Google already got AI. The only thing blockchain and bitcoin tech is doing for AI is making sure that we're not taken advantage of with it (I think, but then again, I don't know everything, at all). People be grouping AI and Crypto together and everyone (including me at one point) falls for that shit like its the next best thing since sliced bread. But what is your AI machine going to friggin do!? LOL. There may (and probably is) a legitimate use case and project out there that's leveraging the benefits of both AI and blockchain/bitcoin tech, but at this point, I want something NEW! Excited about AURA!!! Dev keep us updated to keep the community motivation up! Word of mouth marketing, people telling their friends, is always the best.
