How to mine AuroraCoin

What is Aurora Coin?

Auroracoin is a cryptocurrency that can be used in Iceland. It is premined 50% and is based upon litecoin. Premined coins will begin to be distributed to Iceland’s entire population at midnight on 25 March 2014. Auroracoin was created to end the fiat currency financial system of Iceland.

Inflation and financial meltdown have been devastating to Iceland. The 2008 collapse of the entire banking system led to inflation and currency control.

Auroracoin allows Icelanders to get out of currency controls and government debasement.

Auroracoin is based upon the Litecoin protocol. It is launched by an “Airdrop” of premined Auroracoins to Iceland, intended to reach nearly every Icelander.

This unique event will provide Icelanders with the opportunity to get started using the currency. It will also give them a chance to learn more about the currency and its potential uses. The only way to get auroracoins after the Airdrop is through mining and transactions.

AuroraCoin: Why?

Auroracoin is a cryptocurrency that is independent of the current banking system. Auroracoin cannot be created by central banks, unlike conventional currencies. Auroracoin is backed by a fixed supply that works against inflation and supports its currency’s value.

Auroracoin is not tied to banks or other central entities. It allows for the restriction of printing money and debasement of the currency.

How does it work?

Auroracoin is built on Litecoin. This cryptocurrency descends from the Bitcoin protocol, which is the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. It is launched by an “Airdrop,” which sends auroracoins to Icelandic citizens. It allows it to reach nearly every Icelander.

This unique event will provide Icelanders with the opportunity to use the currency for the first time. It’ll also give them a head start and make them aware of its potential.

The only way to obtain auroracoins after the Airdrop is through mining and trading. Auroracoin will follow the Bitcoin development in the medium to long term.
