A repeat of what I posted earlier, for people who are getting lost in the hype......Just a heads up to anyone who is considering mining / investing / trading this coin....
I have just had a good conversation with the Ministry of Interior, Personal Data department - Commissioners Office, in Nicosia, Cyprus.
I can confirm that they have NOT been consulted on AphroditeCoin, or any other kind of electronic transaction coin.
They did say however that their office takes account of the ongoing discussions of the Article 29 Working Party (see link below), regarding the electronic signature of individuals.
The Commissioners Office also states that currently there is no law regulating this kind of economic transaction, however if evidence of fraudulent financial gain is found, then this information would be acted upon.
Finally, they confirmed there is no publicly accessible database from which the Cyprus ID card can be searched.
So, to recap, from my research, the Cyprus Ministry of Interior, which is in charge of the security of personal data, has absolutely no knowledge of this coin launch, let alone been approached to work in collaboration together.
Make of this information what you will - I like to work with facts, not fiction.
