the "icelander should cpu-mine idea" is a drop in the bucket, I think. not enough hashing power.

paying for scrypt hashing power could work (either outright or using bounties for pools to find blocks < 5400).

The problem is: we're driving away the icelandic noobs who must think this coin is broken (which it is... confirmation times in the range of days can be called "broken", like banking system) or this crypto-stuff just doesn't work.. must be a fad.

Hmm.. Maybe the hashing power itself is not much, but encouraging ppl to solo mine would make them (us?) a community: "I can help, it is we against the greedy mean multipool miners" and more aware of the crypto coin functionality in general. It would also point out the real reasons for slow transactions (not enought mining power) to the major public.

And they might surprise us.. who knows how many miners there would be in the end?

Ok, I agree.

It doesn't have to be solo-mining, though. They can use a pool. Just they should only mine AUR and mine AUR all the time, especially when diff is high.

Also: it doesn't have to be CPU. There should be a high percentage of people with GPUs in Iceland, no?

Anyway, a few difficult days now won't be a catastrophe, unless the problems stays for a longer time.

I also agree. We could've (should've) done this a week ago or so.
