SpainCoin stage 3 will begin on Monday, July 28th. With still about 6M coins left in stage 2, it seems unlikely it will all be allocated, so we will again be destroying excess coins like we did in the previous stage, providing a boost to SpainCoin’s projected value. We’re also going to work again on the SpainCoin marketplace we had envisioned earlier on.

Updated distribution plan:
Stage 1 (already over) 5M coins, ~1M were distributed, ~4M destroyed
Stage 2 began on June 10th, max 10M coins to be given away, excess coins to be destroyed.
Stage 3 to begin on July 28th, max 10M coins to be given away, half of the coins remaining to be destroyed, the other half to go towards the final stage 4.
Stage 4 to begin in early september, giving away the remaining coins, until the end of the year.

I wouldn't destroy the remaining coins. I would hold them for late adopters and give out the same amounts already given out to whoever registers and whenever they finally do (until the giveaway coins run out).

With over 1.6 million gamers in Spain, and only 2,352 people having received SPA via the electronic DNI, I'd say there's a lot of very computer literate people in Spain who still haven't heard about SPA. http://cincodias.com/cincodias/2014/03/05/economia/1394019685_040180.html

One of the most important aspects of any successful cryptocurrency is a widely distributed network, and those 1.6 million Spanish gamers represent a huge user base for potential newcomers to the network. The DNI coin giveaway would continue to be a positive for SPA by getting their interest (that is if there are still giveaway coins to attract their interest with). Destroying the coins may have a short term benefit by boosting price short term, but the long term costs would be fatal in my opinion. "Pan para hoy, hambre para mañana" as we say in Spanish.

Keep those coins for late comers so that the network can grow, and, along with that, as a healthy byproduct, so that the chances of wide scale adoption are also increased. Si no, creo que estaríamos tirando piedras sobre nuestro tejado.

And then we'd need to start a campaign aimed at those Spanish gamers!
