Have you guys heard of Auroracoin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446062.0

It's a week old project to make a cryptocurrency for Iceland. The idea is that 50% of coins are premined, and 45 days from now, every citizen of Iceland will be able to sign up using their national ID number and receive a fair share, 31.8 auroracoins.  An Icelandic member of parliament has already written an article calling it a 'scam' and 'illegal', and the Central Bank of Iceland has reportedly visited auroracoins.org hundreds of times.

I think it's safe to say the Icelandic government won't be happy about it and will take measures to try to censor or shut it down. Do you think Datacoin could help in some way? They still don't have a blockchain explorer, would it be possible for us to give them a Datacoin-style one hosted on our blockchain?
