Hi all,

We've set up this thread on Bitcointalk 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/international-bitcoinsurvey-2016-launches-in-11-languages/ . Check out #BitcoinDachshund on Twitter at https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23bitcoindachshund&src=typd as he's helping us out.

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. Thanks to the community, it's also in Albanian and Chinese.

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. - Reward proof is at https://blockchain.info/tx/09c4e2921c6f11fe08f8d574a0b20c2750c21aab5eca4060d855243157e98d1f

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. - Rewards proof is at https://blockchain.info/tx/096807e1e4ef73c60e89ad9393d553a49a54cf60292708de29506e24aa8693aa

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 french link doesn't work, redirects to a page not found.

[Jushe]

I'm confused, how do I take the survey?

[pawel7777]

I'm confused, how do I take the survey?

Same question. Can't see a link to the actual survey, just the introduction + FAQs.

I'm guessing it's not yet opened and this is just an announcement.

I'll be happy to take part in it.

[Hazir]

When will this survey be online? Because, as others users said alredy - there is no link to actual Survey, just introduction post. Or am I missing it?
Secondly - I checked transation of introduction post in some languages and it is quite funny that you translated words like 'Blockchain' - please don't do that - it can be more confusing this way.

[jammers]

Hi guys,

Thanks for those, I hadn't set the surveys to live! All the preparation... ;p

@Alex514, I've fixed this now so it should be working
@Jushie, if you go to the corresponding language's intro page, the link should send to the start of the survey now
@pawel7777 & @Hazir, they're open now to be done!

[n691309]

How many question will be in the survey, if the number is not high i would participate in helping translating into a language that it is not listed there, also would be happy to participate in the survey, the reward is pretty good.

[jammers]

@n691309 the survey has 35 questions, but not every question is mandatory. What language are you thinking that isnt in? We have localisation files to make it easier wen we were doing the translations

[hopenotlate]

Butd let me tell you italian translation is really terrible.

I could get the meaning of some questions only thanks to my english knowledge otherwise no way t understand themsome of them..

Guess you used an automatic translator.

How did you completed the survey, none of the link above of bitcoinsinireland.com is opening to me!

Survey has been completed in French. Takes only a few minutes and very well done.

How did you completed the survey, none of the link above of bitcoinsinireland.com is opening to me!

The link is right under the sharing icons before the actual article. I search for it a while lol.

It isn't there for the english version.

[jammers]

@hopenolate one of my friends from the games industry did the localisation, was there particular terminology that you found problematic?

Also, I've reworked the location of the sharing buttons, so it'll be easier to be seen.

@knightdk, thanks for that, it's fixed now. been a long day getting all these done

[7788bitcoin]

Since this is an international survey, we should also include the Chinese. I can help you to find a translator for your survey.

[jammers]

@7788bitcoin if you could help on that, that would be great

[pawel7777]

OK. Completed. All worked fine, bit shorter than expected.

[sulendra12]

I'm done. Great survey...

[7788bitcoin]

@7788bitcoin if you could help on that, that would be great

I am happy to help. Please send me the information.

[uncaer9]

why you not add Indonesian language (bahasa indonesia) i think you will get more participants from indonesia

[jammers]

Thanks to those of you who completed the survey so far, we've 17 responses in the first few hours i'll touch base with those who offered further localisation tomorrow!
