Topic: 07-04-2015 - #BitcoinSurvey May & June Prizes sent (Read 6057 times)

Hi all,

Made a big update to the OP.

I got locked out somehow from my polldaddy account, but after three weeks and a very helpful developer (thanks Donncha), finally got access to the survey results today. I will now be able to prepare a second interim report based on this data.

We also now have access to the Spanish and German localisations we did before, and have also gotten Finnish and Arabic localisations of the survey, to continue trying to reach our quota of 1000

So first up, is the important thing. 0.5 bitcoin for March and April entrants was already sent out, but the May prizes of 5x 0.05 bitcoin are outstanding, as is the 0.25 winner.

The bitcoin for these have been sitting for a while at https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1LUD7xavJo1um3toduKCpKu1tcKM4RmgPD

There were only 15 responses in May, and 13 put in wallet addresses. Winners were picked using http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-name-picker/ removing the winner from the following draw.

And now for the grand prize 0.25, all 232 bitcoin addresses for responses to the survey were put in, and the following wins 0.25 bitcoin. Drumroll.....

These payments were sent and proof of payment is available for all to see at https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/cf0ae22ac318bdada6ec9757d4bb3bd724c8aa471bd0bca554a73b1a91ff8483 . One wallet address was invalid, but they put in an email address and I've emailed them so theirs went through https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/abb36150560fa7b85c574b04a4f0512d53c2a4e13f828ef3b3ce515f6778d079 .

So this concludes our promise of distributing one bitcoin to participants in the English survey. Stay tuned for a writeup, and Spanish, German, Finnish & Arabic versions of the survey!

Cheers

You all have 0.05 bitcoin each winging their way across the blockchain. Proof of payment - https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/599621c0d8a226222028900d101fc27fe242cc5c0b5ff0d39835cb25fa35cd94

If you didn't win in April, you still have a chance at the grand prize of 0.25 bitcoin in June, and people can still do the survey which runs until the end of May.

Hi all,

I've set up http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/33prxf/any_german_or_spanish_speaking_bitcoin_fans_able/ and thought I'd post here too, looking for help.

Hi all,
I'm running #BitcoinSurvey, and last night put the first draft of the German version of the survey at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11177783
I also have a Spanish translation. I was wondering if anyone can help me proof and edit the localised version so it matches the English version as closely as possible.
The main thread is over at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=987941.0;all , with responses from 60 countries now to the English version.
Any help would be appreciated! I'd love to get this into French, Russian, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, and Chinese too as I've a goal of 1,000 responses between them, and think it's important to get as many main languages as possible. But willing to pay 0.05 bitcoin per language. Any one able to do this before the end of the weekend and help me out? Results of the report will be public on my site, bitcointalk and reddit either way.
Cheers
Jamie

Hi all,

The German version of #BitcoinSurvey is finally live, Spanish to follow soon. If there's any German people reading this thread, I've put up a text on the German sub forum at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1036324.new#new

The two links to the survey are

Es ist bei http://ads.bitcoinsinireland.com/click/IPPVM7WJ9H?btcirl=btct-de-2304 oder http://bitcoinsinireland.polldaddy.com/s/bitcoins-in-ireland-worldwide-survey-2015-de wenn Sie adblock sind.

Any suggestions for feedback before I push it out to the German bitcoin sites, as my friend is good at translating, but may have gotten some of the terminology wrong. I've also updated the OP with new images.

Thanks!

Jamie

Have you tried posting it on the facebook bitcoin groups ?

You can try the israeli group, just add a few words of your own to attract some people - https://www.facebook.com/groups/btcil/

Hi all,

We've gotten some great coverage in the bitcoin media about this, so a big thanks to all the journalists who are helping cover the story.

I just wanted to say that I've updated the OP with a link to the wallet, today I send 0.25 bitcoin to cover the responses for April. This will be split five ways, but there's still a single prize of 0.25 bitcoin still up for grabs, so if you don't get a 0.05 prize this month, you're still in the running.

Even with all the coverage, I've only gotten an extra 20 responses this month, and that's with doing an ad for a day on /r/bitcoin, some more twitter, and google ads :/ Could any faucet owners let me put an ad in their systems to help get the numbers up (pm me if you can)? But we're up to 56 countries at least!

The #BitcoinSurvey is ongoing, and runs up until May 31st 2015. Survey participants in April have a chance of getting one of five 0.05 bitcoin prizes. The link is http://ads.bitcoinsinireland.com/click/0I7UVYDRUI?btcirl=btctalk-0804 if you don't mind us seeing that you came from bitcointalk, and http://bitcoinsinireland.polldaddy.com/s/bitcoins-in-ireland-worldwide-survey-2015 if you want to go directly or are using adblock.
 

The OP at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10762189 has been updated with a lot of new information and links to the interim report. Remember, there's 0.25 bitcoin in five prizes for respondents in April, so if you haven't done it so far, please do! Up to 170 responses now

Ok, so just doing this now.

I went in and checked, there's 134 bitcoin addresses which were entered into the survey in March before the deadline.

I put these in a text file, and then copied them all into http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-name-picker/

I then take this out of the list, put it back in, and select another

So congrats to you whoever you are. Proof of payment is at https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/978d631ccdd56e8b664fc2c0d48bcfc9316c8000dbcc316302a0a10f0b593bf3

I am Vietnam, Can I join ? Thanks !

Good news, glad to see either the survey and the prizes moving

0.25 bitcoin at https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1LUD7xavJo1um3toduKCpKu1tcKM4RmgPD gets split into 5x 0.05 prizes for #BitcoinSurvey tomorrow

121 people out of 134 respondants from 51 countries so far put in their bitcoin address, so everyone who participated so far has a 4% chance of getting 0.05 bitcoin worth about €11.38 euro.

I know people will ask, so I will export all bitcoin addresses received before midnight GMT tonight in the morning.

These will then be dumped into http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-name-picker/ and I'll pick an address.

I'll take this out of the list, and repeat it four more times until I have five addresses.

Then I'll do a transaction to the five addresses, and post proof of payment here. I have an extra 0.001 in the wallet to cover fees.

I'm waiting for my next mining payment to come in, and then I'll transfer in another 0.251 bitcoin into the same wallet, which will set there for people who participate in April.

But if you don't win, don't despair. People who didn't win in March will be eligible for the grand prize of 0.25 bitcoin which will be sent when I publish the report at the end of the survey.

Thanks to everyone who's participated so far, and if you have friends who don't use bitcoin, i'm equally interested in getting them to participate.

OP has also been updated with a new map

Cheers

Jamie

it's built into polldaddy

Which IP to country translator do you use ?

I'm going to do a second push now that I've put up https://twitter.com/BTCinIreland/status/581477422039752704 which if people could retweet would be great.

The countries so far are in the image below



I'm also hoping to have Spanish and German localisations of the survey finished over the weekend, which I can give the links to when I put out an initial report next week, as promised

the survey has 120 responses now from 49 countries.

We've seen a good few retweets from twitter bitcoin news places on #BitcoinSurvey, and Cointelegraph UK wrote this a little while ago, and I forgot to post it before.

Thanks for the offer, I have a friend here in Dublin from games who said he'd be able to localise it for me into Spanish, but having someone to proof read it for terminology would be a great idea. I've also a few friends who are French, so definitely, I want to get that language done to.

I've also just received a German localisation from another games friend, so just trying to see if I can get different language versions of the same survey, or if I have to clone the survey and run a fresh localised version of it. I'll get a couple of languages together first, and then maybe launch them with the first interim report around Easter.

I just checked there, we're up to 113 responses from 47 countries now

Translation is a good idea.  The survey population base will be concentrated in English speaking countries if it is only available in English.  Spanish and French will greatly add to the audience because French and Spanish are spoken in many places other than France and Spain respectively.

All done survey completed¡¡¡   I can help in traduction to spanish language by the way.
