So is the app real?  Was it made by someone other than the person interviewed below the video?

Or is this whole video some college project based on a fake documentary for a school project?

My guess is whoever is backing the wallet to pay out the prizes is also pretty strict on keeping this local. An Android .apk is easy to send around, and most users can install it by tapping on the attachment in email, or from a german-based website.

Anyway, I think this thing is actually real - but it remains to be seen if the popularity is manufactured or indeed a 'craze' in the BTC-friendly neighborhood of that German town.
