New release: Auroracoin 2018.09.1.0

With great joy we announce a new release of the Auroracoin core wallet. It is the result of the development we have done for over a year. With this release we improved a lot of poor programmed code and improved on standardization for future development. We added support for newer versions of libraries that the Auroracoin core wallet uses, including Openssl version 1.1 and the latest version of miniupnpc, while maintaining backward compatibility for older versions. The build system also had its fair share of improvements, making building for Windows and MacOSX easier.

Re: [NLG] The even greater Gulden thread!

so now that the discussion on leaving bittrex is closed and settled, who can we blame for the price that keeps dropping?

You will have to wait until biomike is done selling.  Angry I don't blame him but the court case against him must be "fake" as it was claimed to be coming from a community member.

@Biomike can you clarify if this was a "fake news" threat?

I don't know. This community member send me another PM explaining that Rijk is pulling a long history of "things" together and see who he can hold accountable for. It also seem to extend beyond the BCT threads.

As you are closer to Rijk than I am (I assume you (can) speak to him in the Gulden Slack), I guess you can better ask him if it's fake or not. I would to love to hear his reply.

As for selling all my Gulden, it is going through my thoughts the past few days. I've stopped selling weeks ago, as I do most of it through Litebit and.. well, they were in maintenance mode. But to be honest, my confidence in Gulden has reached an all-time low.

So, it seems Rijk and his dad are preparing a court case and I'm asked
to distance myself from RichPissman. I could put a pointless, single line
claim here, but I don't do that, as it isn't my style. I thought I've
always been very clear towards my stance regarding Gulden en Rijk, which
partially overlaps with RichPissman's opinion. This is due to my history
with Rijk and Gulden in general.

I have no issues with Gulden and and have said it before multiple times that
Gulden in essence is a good idea and I would love to see it succeed. Yet, I
don't agree that the path chosen in the past few years is the right one.

In this part I disagree with Rijk and the dev team. We had and probably still
have different opinions about that. Also, how I saw how he managed things
it became clear to me that he and I have quite different personalities and
those would collide. Currently, I don't see myself cooperating with him or have
the need to have Rijk as a friend.

So far the things that I and RichPissman most likely have in common. My sayings
and actions come from the background described above, not because of RichPissman
or anyone else on the forum.

As for the way RichPissman expresses himself, I personally would never do it in
such strong words. Again, not my style. I always try to have discussions on the
subject that is being discussed and matters, not on a person himself. If
however a person does something that I don't agree with, I have the freedom of
speech to say something about that. This person is free to respond and explain
his actions. In this I always try to respect the person himself, whether this is
Rijk, RichPissman or anyone else.

is it a new altcoin or some new vocabulary from this bitcointalk forum, because I just heard that. can anyone explain it here?

Check out this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4937333.msg44502180#msg44502180

It contains more information regarding Gulden. The rest is just derailed discussion.

To bad we had to close the previous thread. It shows that some people use legal threats to force their will. Although I have my doubts these threats are real, I'd rather not risk them. All I wanted was some decent discussion, but it seems some people can't handle that.


that you close it show that you know you and your pissman friend crosed legal boundary otherwise you would not close, be man and admit

Let me tell you how it went:
1) I got a PM (that mentioned RichPissman) from a member from the Gulden community threatening me legally to close the thread.
2) Replied that I would think about it and that I would contact RichPissman, if he wanted to have it closed earlier he should have contacted a forum mod.
3) I PM'ed RichPissman explaining the situation.
4) I closed the thread. RichPissman had already opened this thread.
5) PM'ed member from point 1 that I closed the thread, just like he asked me to do.

No legal boundary has been crossed from my side, just (possibly fake) legal threats by a member from the Gulden community. My real ID is known on this forum and I just don't have the time to spend time on such lingering bullshit. That's why I closed the thread.

not fool anyone, how it went 1 you get PM 2 you know you break law and could do jail time for it 3 you close thread 4 you not man so you no admit and instead let anon friend pissman takeover the slander

Dude, jail time... seriously? Hint: Not every "law breaking" results in jail time.

I just put in Openssl v1.1 support: https://github.com/aurarad/Auroracoin/commit/2ba591fa31067e7367d1872a0a0c7f135b460af5

It builds, but hasn't been tested during runtime. If you want to test it, make sure you backup your wallet and perform small transactions only.

Re: Betaalrekening wordt opgeheven vanwege cryptos, advies voor nieuwe bank.

Het exacte beleid ken ik niet van de verschillende banken. Ik denk dat het vooral belangrijk is dat je de herkomst van jouw vermogen kan aantonen. Je moet dus kunnen aantonen wanneer je bent begonnen en met welke initiële storting dat is gebeurd. Je kan dit aantonen door middel van bankafschriften en wellicht door in te loggen in jouw wallet en de binnenkomst van de initiële storting laten zien, ook al zijn wallets vaak anoniem of niet naar een persoon te herleiden, door in te loggen kan je wel aantonen dat je de eigenaar van de wallet bent en je initiële storting laten zien. Zeker als de initiele stortingen waar je mee bent begonnen niet te hoog zijn kan je met deze methode prima de herkomst van jouw vermogen aantonen.

Ik ben in 2010 begonnen met crypto's, banktransacties heb ik, maar wat in de cryptowereld heeft plaatsgevonden in die tijd is al vaak niet meer te herleiden, zeker in het begin. Een aantal van mijn eerste aankopen zijn via MtGox en bitcoin-central gegaan, beide exchanges bestaan niet meer. Ik bedoel, zou jij een gedetailleerde administratie bijhouden voor een gimmick die 10 cent kost (paar honderd euro's ertegen gooien, niets serieus), niet wetende dat 7 jaar later dit enkele miljoenen waard is. Zelfs 2 jaar gelden zou de bitcoin koers van nu onrealistisch gevonden zijn.

Ik ben 6 maanden met Triodos bezig geweest om dat duidelijk te maken. ALLE aan- en verkopen zijn via die rekening gelopen. Ik heb iedere individuele bank transactie voor ze opgezocht, berekend hoeveel crypto's dat waren en een overzicht gemaakt van: dit is erin gegaan, dit is de waarde nu, dit is eruit gehaald. Wat eruit is gehaald is minder dan de waarde nu. Zelf gaven ze ook niets aan of ze meer informatie wensten, dus ging ik ervan uit dat het wel goed zat. Aan de andere kant, als ze het werkelijk niet vertrouwden zouden ze dit ook bij de FIU-NL moeten melden en de rekening blokkeren i.p.v. opheffen. Mijn vermoeden is dat het gewoon "ongemakkelijk" voor hen is en zich dus achter de DNB verstoppen.

Daarnaast is natuurlijk ook de hoogte van het bedrag dat meespeelt. Ik had weer een medewerker van Knab aan de telefoon gisteren, die zei dat als het bedrag hoger wordt je sneller in de spotlight komt. Van de banken die "geen problemen geven", hoe vaak gaat het over bedragen tot een paar duizend euro?

De reactie van Knab was dat ik alvast de rekening kon openen, maar wel nog door de "compliance afdeling" zal moeten vanwege de hoogte van het bedrag dat op de rekening terecht gaat komen. Mogelijk dat ze vandaag nog terug zullen bellen.

Ook heb ik de Triodos bank toch even een klachtenmail gestuurd met het verzoek om het opheffen te stoppen, inclusief een hele lijst argumentatie. Als mijn eis geweigerd wordt, kan ik nog altijd kijken of ik het bezwaar nogmaals via Kifid kan indienen, al is het maar om jurisprudentie te genereren.

Bottom line advies: scheid je crypt/bank-transacties rekening van je huishoudelijke rekening. Banken zeggen wel dat crypto's onbetrouwbaar en risicovol zijn, maar hieruit blijkt dat banken ook een risico vormen.

Tsja, ik heb nu een plan opgesteld. Een rekening bij de ABN AMRO (die ik ook nog had) voor gewone huis-, tuin- en keukenbetalingen, waarop ik niets van crypto's ga uitbetalen. Contact gehad met Knab en uitgelegd wat het probleem is, die zouden het intern gaan overleggen, woensdag hoop ik daar meer over te weten. Bunq rekening geopend om in de toekomst wat uitbetalingen op te storten, maar het meeste op de (Nederlandse) exchange laten staan. Daarnaast ga ik ook nog bij andere banken nog een rekening openen om hetgeen een beetje te spreiden en als back-up.

Reden van de uitbetalingen is omdat een substantieel deel van mijn vermogen in crypto's zit (door de toename over de jaren, sinds 2010), wat ik wil verlagen tot rond de 10% en omdat op gegeven moment ook de belasting wat wil hebben (en crypto's accepteren ze niet, dus moet je het omzetten naar euro's).

Er is een nieuwe regel van de Europese Centrale Bank die zegt dat overschrijvingen vanaf 4999 euro afkomstig uit het buitenland moeten worden gecontroleerd voor geld  witwassen. Dus het veiligste is om kleinere geld hoeveelheden te sturen om onder de radar te blijven.

Daarvan was ik niet op de hoogte. De uitbetalingen zijn echter via een Nederlandse exchange.

Het is een van de grotere "groene/sociale" banken van Nederland. Twitter heb ik niet, betwijfel het ook of het veel zal helpen.

Ik denk dat de meeste grote banken het gedogen zolang de bedragen niet te hoog worden, blijkbaar ben ik voor hun over die grens gegaan.

Ik zag bij knab het volgende staan:

Quote
Knab biedt geen 'Cryptocurrency Exchange platform'. Je kunt via je Knab Betaalrekening wel cryptocurrency aankopen en verkopen via een andere aanbieder, behalve als het zakelijk gebruik betreft.

Wil je bij een andere aanbieder beleggen in cryptocurrencies? Realiseer je dan dat hier risico’s aan verbonden zijn.

Iemand hier ervaring mee?

Sinds afgelopen december ben ik, op mijn initiatief, met mijn bank (Triodos) in de weer geweest om duidelijkheid te verschaffen m.b.t. verkoop van mijn bitcoins en altcoins. Dit resulteerde in maart tot een tijdelijke blokkade van mijn rekening (zonder waarschuwing), maar sindsdien heb ik alle gegevens m.b.t. aan- en verkoop van de coins, sinds 2010, en belastingaangiftes e.d. verstrekt aan hun. Dus dat zat wel goed dacht ik.

Nu valt net een brief in de bus dat ze over twee maanden mij rekening opheffen vanwege dat zij niet kunnen achterhalen waar de bitcoin transacties vandaan komen (in het verleden aangekocht, nu gedeeltelijk verkocht; aangegeven met aankoop waarde en huidige verkoopwaarden). Dus, over twee maanden is mijn betaalrekening weg.

Naar een hoop gevloek en getier (ik wilde alleen eerlijk en duidelijk zijn, om problemen te voorkomen), sta ik dus voor een dilemma. Wat moet ik hiermee? En zijn er banken waar ik beter bij terecht kan? Is er ook iemand die iets vergelijkends meegemaakt heeft?

At github, there is no update since 2 years. I think this coin is dead.

If there is one developer as a single point of failure he prefers to go fishing. Not bad: island is a wonderful country.
But if you want to become islands bitcoin you have to work hard for it not just sit and wait and hope something
beautiful will happen one day.

Thats why Apple / Amazon / Ebay / Paypal rule the world: develop a product everybody likes and push it to become the number 1.
Not just check email once a week and dream about something.

(

You are so right! I am going to get rid of my aurora coins...sad coin team (if is there any...)
And I think the coin will be out of Bittrex soon with so low volume..

We had some development until start this year, check the "Development" branch. It just hasn't been released yet.

Do you have a target date for the release of this update??

That was march, but I moved since then, so no new date planned. The moving caused more time of being out of the running than I expected. Also some parts of my build environment updated since then, which caused me to make some changes to the code again (which I did last week). It builds again now on my dev system, but I need to update the Windows build environment and test the updated code on my MacOSX environment.

Thanks for the prompt response BioMike.

It sounds like you have a lot of work on your hands.  Can you give a clue as to what the new update will do for Auroracoin?

Yeah, development is mostly only on my plate. The new client will mostly be code restructuring (for future development) and being able to be build with recent toolchains. The wallet/coin works and the blockchain runs smoothly, so no really new, sexy features.

Looking at Bittrex and ISX, I would say about 500K AUR are on the market, up for sale in the order books.

I follow aurora coin from the beginning. I still hold a big amount of coins in cold wallet. I am wondering what went so wrong with this coin and the price is going lower and lower... Huh

Basically a number of things are going on:
- Cryptos are in downtrend after the rally last year.
- Adoption of Auroracoin in Iceland is slower than initially expected.
- The reformation of the Auroracoin foundation to a Crypto foundation probably has caused some panic among people.
- From the beginning Auroracoin has been put "on the market" wrongly. See the initial article in the Steemit link that describes this.
