If I'm not mistaken, you BCX, have the resources and knowledge to set up your own test platforms. Why would you use a coin people care about and not your own?

Auroracoin and it's idea is one of those projects against political will, until the breaking point, where enough people gets educated and politicians need to obey as they should.
It is a wise thing to remain anonymous for the time being.

Sometimes you have to believe in someone. Give it a try. But risk accordingly.

I don't see why you should be the judge of what currency (lives or) dies along with some people dreams/scam.

Is there some?

I think it would be better to have BCX test and potentially destroy a scam/shit coin since he does so with no malicious intent of profiting for said tests.

To me it just sounds like all these whining supporters would rather risk someone else coming along and pwning them all in the face for profit or God forbid risk the fact that the dev himself is pwning them in the face for financial gain.

I said this week's ago but it deserves to be said again. The Air Drop is a perfect laundering mechanism to scam with. You Air Drop a few coins to your targeted audience and Air Drop the rest into your own random wallet addresses. The fact that the Air Drop will take a year or longer just sweetens this much more because it gives the scammer enough time to launder and dump at a controlled rate and simply blame the targeted audience for the dump.

This isn't working entirely too well for the dev if he is in fact laundering the pre-mined coins and dumping though (which seems the most likely of all scenarios). The network has recently been taking a crap on itself and taking upward 9-10 hours per block (this coupled with the fact there there still isn't any real liquidity in AUR makes it near impossible to dump large amounts of AUR without completely killing the coin), there isn't any real infrastructure that provides services in exchange for AUR even in Iceland (it's targeted audience. And no, a guy trading a used car for AUR is not infrastructure) and this just lowers the value of AUR and people are finally starting to realize it now, hence the drop to $2.73.

Once block 5400 comes. I truly hope BCX does test the exploit out on AUR. If the exploit is successful then AUR deserves what it gets regardless of any good perceived intentions by any of it's supporters (the road to hell is paved in good intentions). If it somehow survives in some sort of crippled state then it should be left in the hands of the Icelandic people to pick up the pieces (they want to use it as their currency, then so be it; they can have it, they can mine and support it to secure the blockchain themselves). I still don't understand why anyone here would want to give the Icelandic people money from their pockets instead of letting the Icelandic people themselves put money into AUR and give it value.
