Sources

[edit]

I removed a couple sentences attributed to Auroracoin.org. I would not rely on primary sources for information about the history of Auroracoin. The website at this point seems largely promotional, and should not be relied upon as an accurate, neutral source of factual information about the currency's creation. Its current content seems at odds with previously published accounts from reliable media sources.

I also removed information that cited web forums...this is a basic aspect of reliable sources on Wikipedia, covered in WP:RS - web forums, amateur blogs, emails, tweets, and crowd-sourced websites like Wikipedia are all unacceptable as reliable sources.

National altcoin

[edit]

Auroracoin was too popular once in the medias to be removed from wikipedia; another reason is that this AltCoin has been the first ever nation coin using Airdrop to start its use; even if auroracoin will obviously decline in 2015, I vote :

Proven Heist / Joke coin

[edit]

I put this page for deletion. It is no more a 'get rich quick scheme' then anything. Current market cap at 45k, totally pre-mined, as large as a market cap as any joke coins. It might have had a spot light once, but that's no more than a person winning the power ball lottery like news. It was one off, then just a sore memory of how silly people were about bitcoin-like crypto. Anyone disagree? WinterstormRage (talk) 08:56, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I don't understand what you meant by Proven Heist in your title ; anyway it's a good thing this deletion attenpt has been removed ; probably my mistake... Indeed, I must apologize been the one misleading you this way. One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page) ONaNcle (talk) 18:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's no basis for deleting. It's widely regarded as a scam, but this needs better sources added to the article, and a coin (scam or not) that's been widely reported on and discussed in the Icelandic parliament is certainly notable. Greenman (talk) 13:25, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
