Auroracoin is a decentralised, peer-to-peer, and secure cryptocurrency released as an alternative to the Icelandic Króna to bypass governmental restrictions associated with the national fiat currency. It was launched with the aim of becoming the ‘official’ cryptocurrency of Iceland. AUR was a pioneer in the area of country-specific cryptocurrencies. AUR was launched on the 25th of January, 2014, by an anonymous developer who went by the pseudonym of Baldur Friggjar Óðinsson. It was originally based on Litecoin, using the Scrypt algorithm with a Proof of Work mechanism, but was later updated to use a multi-algorithm architecture in 2016, forked from DigiByte. Auroracoin uses the PoW consensus mechanism, which utilises device hashing power to solve a complex mathematical problem in order to authenticate a transaction proposed to be stored in the blockchain. The difficulty of solving the problem ensures that authenticating forged transactions is very difficult unless the attacker owns an impractically large chunk of the network’s total hashing power. AUR is one of the only cryptocurrencies to use a combination of five different hashing algorithms, namely Grøstl, Qubit, scrypt, SHA-256, and Skein. While initially very popular, Auroracoin has seen little to no activity for a while, with poor marketing, and frequent dev team changes. Reasons for little growth have been various, from slow adoption in Iceland, to developers leaving and joining the project midway. However, it is expected to not go lower than the recent low, and might see a rise as AUR plans to launch a more aggressive marketing campaign in Iceland to promote the coin among the masses. Unlike most other altcoins, Auroracoin has made extensive changes to the original codebase. It has introduced security measures such as Automatic checkpointing, and protecting against known flaws present in the BTC blockchain, such as 51% block replacement attacks.
A fast, secure, and easily available cryptocurrency designed for “tipping and Rewarding”, allows rewarding a worker for a job well done, while avoiding the high fees on payment milestones inflicted on both sending and receiving parties involved, that is usually incurred by such transactions by the specialized job marketplaces that act as intermediaries between the parties. With Ethereum technology secures almost instant transaction of tipping reward and in the process either avoids the intermediary job marketplace platform in question, or as a best case scenario, is integrated into the job marketplace and acts as an additional bonus feature of the very job marketplace platform, this welcoming all parties involved; the employer, the employee, and the intermediary job marketplace platform to the world of digital currency. Helper Search Token ( HSN ) cryptocurrency can be used both as an integrated reward system for the intermediary platforms, or without the integration, as it is already a stand alone payment system with a use case in every industry and any task solving situation, from getting a big contract based project done, to rewarding a school child for doing the homework, Rewarding for network gathering foreign, domestic helpers, employers and employment agencies
