International Bitcoin Usage Survey
English Survey Complete - German, Spanish, Arabic & Finnish coming soonHi all,
I'm running a local and international survey for bitcoin usage for
http://www.BitcoinsinIreland.com. I have closed off the English language survey now, with the
first interim report is at
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11020556 . I will shortly go through the final data and present a second report. Once that is done, I will then be launching the same survey in the following languages: German, Spanish, Finnish & Arabic (pm if you can help with other languages)
What's the survey about?This survey is aimed at people who do and don't use bitcoin across the world to get an understanding of the type of people who use, mine, trade or have a general interest in bitcoin, plus those who've never heard of it before! This survey covers a variety of things in the bitcoin space, and covers nearly 40 questions, but not all have to be answered.
What will I get for participating?Optionally, you can put a bitcoin address in. For the English language survey which ran over 3 months, there was 1.00 bitcoin distributed across 3 sets of monthly prizes (0.05 bitcoin each), and a grand prize at the end of 0.25.
Proof of payments - https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1LUD7xavJo1um3toduKCpKu1tcKM4RmgPD/transactionsI will be putting up another 0.25 bitcoin for each of these four languages (another 1.00 bitcoin), which will be split into 5x 0.05 bitcoin prizes, and will update this thread when these surveys go live.
How is it internationalMost of the research I've seen has been North American focused. I'm European, from Ireland, and want to see what the case is everywhere else. The initial survey was in English. The same survey has been localised into German, Spanish, Finnish & Arabic, and these will launch when the final report from the English survey is released, to see the differences or similarities.
Where can I do the surveyThe English version of the survey is currently closed.
German, Spanish, Finnish & Arabic are coming soon.
Where can I get more information on the survey and results?Information about the survey is on twitter at
http://twitter.com/BTCinIreland under the hashtag #BitcoinSurvey (

Want to write an article about #BitcoinSurveyWe've had a great response on twitter, and also across a number of cryptocurrency news sites. If you'd like to be added to our press list for our next announcement, please pm me your details or email jamie [at] bitcoins in ireland [dot] com
What will they be? Who knows, have your say today! Questions are welcome, and I've done similar stuff in the video games space, so search "The Games Industry in Ireland 2012" to get an idea how it'll look at the end.
Cheers
Jamie
