The Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

We've set up this thread on Bitcoin.com to co-ordinate information on #BitcoinSurvey 2016, an international survey on bitcoin usage being conducted by BitcoinsInIreland.com . Our central location for this will be http://bitcoinsinireland.com/internatio ... languages/

The survey is openly conducted, as we did in the past with #BitcoinSurvey 2015 (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=987941.0;all & https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1017295.0 ), and non-bitcoin research on the Irish Games Industry (search Games Industry in Ireland 2012, #IrishGameDev Map, #IrishGameDev Timeline).

Much of the bitcoin related research to date is either locked behind a paywall, and therefore unavailable to the broader public, or focused on North America. As we're Irish, we're taking an international approach, and conducting the survey in eleven languages, Arabic, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish & Turkish.

The survey looks at a broad range of bitcoin usage, and as it covers quite a range of topics across the 35 questions, we have put up some bitcoin as rewards for participants across the surveys. We are putting up 1.25 bitcoin in prizes, which will be distributed as follows.

start of May - 5 participants will be drawn from survey respondents up to that date, and each of them will be sent 0.05 bitcoin each.

start of June - 5 participants will be drawn from survey respondents up to that date, and each of them will be sent 0.05 bitcoin each.

start of July - 5 participants will be drawn from survey respondents up to that date, and each of them will be sent 0.05 bitcoin each.

An additional name will then be drawn in July at the same time, and this will be given 0.5 bitcoin, giving a total of 1.25 in rewards distributed. Proof of payment will also be posted. There's some simple rules, bot/macro filled in surveys will have all of them excluded, as will duplicate entries. When doing the draw, we will record the process of selecting those who got something for full transparency, and post the videos to YouTube.

So it would be great if we could get people to participate and share the survey, and we're open to any questions!

Cheers

The Bitcoinsinireland.com Team

How do you actually take the survey? I see only information about it but nothing that says how to participate.

@fubar I had not enabled the surveys, but this has been resolved now. On each localised into page, theres a link to the corresponding language survey

Questions are pretty straight forward and it didn't take long at all.

I have also completed the survey - great to see more Irish bitcoiners around!

Hi @fubar & @Fremont , thanks for participating, we're up to 46 responses now from a good few countries, including 15 on the English one
