Hi Guys,
Sorry for the lack of posts here and yes I should be more active with forums. I am one of the devs on the actual tourism side here in Ireland. To answer the pump & dump question, if this was the case we'd have done it countless times by now. As you can see the coin has been pretty stable for the last year and we hope to keep it that way.

Mart2000 I was talking to one of the other dev guys that you emailed and I've seen your inquiry. Maybe I'm wrong but he did say dump if you want to not pump! Cheesy

IRL is in no way here purely for its intrinsic value as a digital currency in the first stage. We're promoting and using it as a discount token for our specific area. We all work in the tourism area and now we're very busy now in that season. That's not to say it wont have value in the future but if you're looking for a quick buck, sorry. We will in due course concentrate in getting our test retailers with our mobile POS this season. We'll take it from there and see how it goes. IrishGiftShop will open it's door online again, I'm told in June and will be accepting both IRL (discount) and BTC (purchase).

The web guy has his act together on the site and we'll make in more mobile friendly and integrate the news blog. http://irishcoin.blogspot.ie

Keep the faith!

Slan agus bannocht, Paddy.

Excellent update Paddy

Thank you.

Your support guy did say he wasn't sure if I was being serious or not, which is fair enough. It is not everyday that somebody writes in and says, "hey guys, I am due to die in around ten years and before I go I would really love to visit the Emerald Isle, and as a bonus, buy a discounted pint using IRL. Then drink a pint of the REAL stout, made with Liffy water? before it gets pasteurised, petrified or whatever they do to it before they ship it to England. I know our forefathers have had some serious disagreements in the past, to put it very mildly, but nobbling a dying man's stout? surely not! T'is true though, I had a better pint of stout in Meg O'Malley's Irish pub in Old Downtown Melbourne, Florida, USA than I ever drank at home. And her ale pie and cabbage IS worth dying for! But maybe I digress, just a little...

1. I never joke about death.

2. Could one of you nip out to any Irish pub, and just tell me the current price of a good Pint? or have you gone totally EU and been "litre'd"?

3. Google translate does not know "bannocht". If you let me know what it means I will "teach" google some Gaelic, or you can login to google.com and do it:-

At the risk of doing serious further harm to Irish-English relations with really bad google-ised Gaeilge...
