Sorry guys this one is in dutch.
De Week van Bitcoin #35: de terugkeer van de gulden met EFL en Guldencoin
In De Week van Bitcoin #33 zijn Henk Compier van Electronic Gulden en Rijk Plasman van Guldencoin te gast. Henk vertelt over de stichting Electronic Gulden Foundation en waarom het het bestuur en development van de EFL heeft overgenomen. Er is nauwelijks contact meer met de originele ontwikkelaars. Rijk legt uit wat de guldencoin is, hoe men er aan kan komen en waar hij kan worden uitgegeven. Er wordt uitgebreid gesproken over de verschillen en technische specificaties van de coins en waarom we eigenlijk regionale alt coins nodig hebben.

Article: http://debitcoin.org/de-week-van-bitcoin-35-de-terugkeer-van-de-gulden-met-efl-en-guldencoin/ 2 quick questions for those who unfortunately don't speak Dutch:
1. I see one of the top questions on the hangout was (via google translate) "Why use regional virtual currencies instead of the original, namely Bitcoin?". Can anyone briefly summarize how that was answered in the interview? Anything discussed besides the pre-mine distribution of NLG to NL citizens or national pride?
2. Was there any question about merging the 2 efforts and combine forces? IE: offering a period of time to exchange 1 coin for the other at a set rate, then burning the outgoing coin. Assuming one market cap is significantly larger than the other in the future this seems possible. With so many alt-coins out there, seems there is enough competition without having to compete with yourselves. Thanks! --Mark
I shall try to give some anwsers, anybody correct me if i'm wrong.
your first question.
Rijk from guldencoin said that Bitcoin is still small in Holland and it has been a lot in the media but not positif and the dutch people still mis the gulden cause it was a valuable coin, with a real nice design and the gulden was with us a very long time, we got screwed with the euro big time.
when we pay with euro it doens't feel like our currency. But guldencoin is not here to replace the euro but to give people the choice to take things in our own hands.
second.
They asked if they should work together and the man from EFL said he was open for discusion. Dont know what Rijk said I don't remember.
But my personal opinion is that it is not a good idea because they don't know where a large part of the premine is, probably still in the shady DEV's hands.
I think that coin will die soon and the guy from EFL foundation is probably our big dumper that tryed to kill this coin but this is
my personal opinion.
