I have a number of questions.
Do we have any sign of cooperation from the government of Iceland to help distribute this coin?
Is this database of every citizen of Iceland that is needed to distribute Auroracoin accessible without the permission of the government of Iceland?
If access to this database cannot be obtained, how will the coins be distributed fairly?
Even if access is obtained, how does someone prove their identity?
How do you prevent one person from claiming coins for multiple people?
Will the "airdrop" be online?
Once the "airdrop" commences, what will prevent a non-Icelandic citizen from claiming coins? IP-address checking? Could a non-citizen log in via proxy in Iceland, guess an ID number of a citizen, and claim coins, thus locking that citizen out of their claim?
The website makes vague claims about using a database to distribute the coins, but no specifics. Is there a real plan in place, or are we just hoping it all works out and everyone is honest? There is a unique number for every citizen of the USA and a database linking them (social security), but the government doesn't let everyone have access to it.
I have serious doubts about how this could be distributed fairly without the cooperation of the government, which to my knowledge, hasn't even acknowledged the existence of this coin.
Quit asking legitimate questions.
You ever see how the U.S. delivers food to impoverished tribes in Africa?
OP is simply going to hand-drop sd cards onto iceland citizen's homes via a helicopter. One by one until he finishes in 2030.
Well, where do you live? Don't you have government smart card ID's? Don't you have Mobile certificates? Don't you have banking account on the network? They are all quite common ways to identify citizens here in Finland, and I 'v heard it is a lot more widespread in Iceland. If not yet, 1000$ reward for getting one certainly increases the usage of them.
