Cryptocurrencies are designed by nature to be universal. If they really want they can fight their government to use any of the other of the great cryptocurrencies disposable to them such as BTC, LTC, DOGE and so on.
Yeah, let's distribute 50% of these to them and they may. I am surprised by the negativity here for Auroracoin. BTC, LTC, DOGE are acceptable because they are already in circulation (and you and others here presumably hold them) but AUR is not because? These network attacks, negativity. It really only points to their success until now.
