1: How much does the CEO get paid per month?

2: You could have avoided that. Why don't they delist Bitcoin Cash? Because the effort put in the coin by Roger Ver alone is much more than what you guys all together have achieved so far. Besides the fact that Bitcoin Cash is in demand, the biggest holders hold onto their coins instead of selling them in the market. In fact, we all know Roger Ver bought more BCH to grow his holding. I am just using this as an example.

3: As an investor in AUR I think it is a minimum to come up with images, facts and proof instead of storytelling. So far all we could see is that a huge exchange is delisting AUR, some websites that even I can make and some nice story.
Yes, I'm aware is wasn't Oct. 11th yet so this is/was a good opportunity for you guys to collect proof.

4: You talk about bolster the blockchain community, sorry to say but the price clearly doesn't show that.
Selling the coins because it was conducted in an official meeting is just an excuse. I'm not the only one that is dissapointed about the decission of IBF but many more who have put their faith, money and trust in AUR.

This is not about FUD, but about facts.

1.  I dont know how much he is being paid.  I am sure it is commensurate with local salaries.  From what I have seen he has been earning his salary.

2.  I dont know if we could have avoided the delisting.  It was probably due to low volume, and although low it was probably still profitable for Bittrex, but perhaps not as much so as with other coins.  We did not anticipate this.  That being said, perhaps now that ISX is the primary fiat exchange and local it will better represent the local demand cost.
I dont think comparing auroracoin to a bitcoin fork is fair.   We may not have the exposure that other coins have but that has not stopped some of us who have been spending alot of time trying to keep the coin relevant.

3/4.  There were about 40 people at the meeting, more than any auroracoin specific meeting has gathered.  There is now a call to action for those interested in auroracoin specifically to join the auroracoin specific group in 2 weeks.

I too wished that interest in Auroracoin and the foundation funds were used in a different way, but I see and believe now that was a good decision.  So now, as mentioned, it is an issue of establishing the coins voice within the IBF. 

Thanks for your input.  As you can see on this board and on Reddit, there have not been many contributors to the discussion, and not many people that have reached out to help, or to create websites with auroracoin resources, but there is a core group that has been steadfast in the idea.   Some of your comments have made into my discussion notes and in many ways are valid points.

Apologies for it not developing as hoped, but here I would actually place some of the blame on the Icelanders who do not realize the opportunity they have in this nationally brand recognized cryptocurrency.
