I highly suspect the Icelandic authorities hired a crew to do this as the resources needed to do this, this quickly are huge.

if iceland had white hats in their government with this kind of awareness and know-how, it would be a huge step forward for the entire world.

LOLZ, but wait - if you think it through, it's not the Icelandic government who is really worried about this coin taking off - it's the banks and corporations who hold their DEBT who are worried... I'm guessing a few million would be a SMALL amount for IMF to throw at this... but eventually the story might leak...

Since the Icelandic central bank has imposed capital controls, AUR could theoretically wobble their "peg" on the krona (not something they want).

For the average citizen of Iceland, AUR means FREE MONEY and GROWTH, as well as a chance to import stuff from foreign countries. Who could be opposed to this?
