Greece agrees to test parallel cryptocurrency on small island

[Pab]

Guys/girls: just don't buy into NAUT (or anything) until you actually see it working. Problem solved.

Here's a handful of Drachmae related links:

Overview:
http://www.drachmae.org/

Wiki:

Drachmae Connect:

Coinstructors:

NXT2pay:

I'd like to point out that Drachmae isn't a project from what you could call the NXT core community, it's being run by Brian Kelly and Coinstructors, with support from NXT and SuperNET.
Nxt is all about providing tools to enable projects, and this is an interesting project, which is pushing crypto into mainstream attention.
Do we want the world to use crypto, or not?

Yes ,I am from Poland we have verygood relation with greeks becouse some Greeks  have found refuge here in 1949
Thay are   still remember that, after 1981 200000 polish have found refuge there
Now there is 1.5 mln refugees from North Africa,EU is not helping Greece in that metter,and they are not putting them in some camps.Great nation where word honour still have value

For those interested or still on the fence they might read a bit about the WIR Bank and the WIR Franc which is the model for Naut. I think private and decentralized competing currencies are the future which is something Dr. Rand Paul has advocated for years and Bitcoin will not be the end-all digital currency. Competition is a GOOD thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIR_Bank

"Although WIR started with only 16 members, today it has grown to include 62,000. Total assets are approximately 3.0 billion CHF, annual sales in the range of 6.5 billion (6.8 billion USD!), as of 2005."


For those laughing at how this program is starting with only 1,000 residents, look what kind of purchasing power just 62k people can do in Switzerland alone.

Plus if its successful there is no reason the currency can't spread out from there.

After checking their website, it's not 62k people but 45k small and medium sized companies.
They also provide normal FIAT (that is to say CHF) services for private customers.

This is a historic first I would say isn't it?

Could you please stop misleading people? There is a huge difference between the title of this thread "Greece agrees to..." and the title of the news you quoted "Greek island agrees to..."

And then again there is also a huge difference between "Greek island agrees to..." and "Some idiots in a Greek island agreed to..."

[Drachmae]

Unfortunately I do not control the person that made the threat and that why i posted the the reality of the project to make it clear

But what I can say is we tried digital currency on the Island and this is what is happening this year www.athena-agistri.com

What?! Why would they use NautilusCoin that can hardly be bought anywhere, instead of Bitcoin or even a major Alt?
Makes no sense, seems like it might be either a lie, or an almost uninhabited island, maybe owned by the creator of NautilusCoin

I was also wondering this. I haven't even heard of Nautiluscoin so I dont know why they using it. Why not just stick with bitcoin or use another alt that has buying power

Most likely because some people in the Island have already owned a substantial amount of NautilusCoin
