That's exactly as I expected but it needs to be clearly communicated on the web site.

Apart from the missing contact info and privacy statements expected of UK web sites, more attention to the wording is required. A moment's reflection will inform you that “UK” is inadequate unless you do actually intend to exclude residents of Northern Ireland.

Statements that are usefully accurate must somewhere use the mouthful: "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

Elsewhere, the statement “UK citizens receive fifty Sterlingcoin” is incorrect, the checks are for residence not citizenship.

There’s two of us here, we can manage a phone number each but only one postcode - do we get 50 each or will one application be rejected? This information should be readily available and easy to comprehend.

Minors are also citizens of the UK, if there's a lower age limit for this offer, that should be clearly communicated.

“Sterlingcoin is a completely fair, transparent and a highly secure form of currency for all needs.” Provide some support for your claim of fairness. Use a spelling checker.

The OP advertises “575,000 Sterlingcoin (90% of Instamine) for the Spacedrop”. At 50 per application that's a grand total of 11500 applications. This  limit should be very clearly advertised.

Will applications from UK residents receive priority over applications from people outside the UK?

“Sterlingcoin is a completely fair, transparent and a highly secure form of currency for all needs.” Provide some support for your claim of fairness.

Perhaps another example might help get across my point about support from a copywriter: “The price of Sterlingcoin is determined by supply & demand, usability, trading and mining” - that should be either “usage” or just “use”, not “usability”.

With Sterlingcoin we are not limiting it to the UK market, it is targeted at the UK market.

We already have a merchant on board and are looking to add more prior to the wallets even being released.

Sterlingcoin is attending and giving a talk at the next Bitcoin Brighton meet up.

In terms of the HMRC you can find information on tax rulings here - http://sterlingcoin.org.uk/uk-tax-rulings/

You can't say that it should be use or usage.

Usability actually sums it up because the aim is for people to use the coin, but also describes the friendly nature and the ease it can be used with. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usability

I'm very familiar with the term “usability” but thank you for assuming ignorance on my part and providing a wikipedia definition, that was most considerate. I'm not sure why you went to the trouble though, it is a technical term from the domain of cognitive ergonomics and is an inappropriate choice in the given semantic context of providing a non-technical explanation of possible causes of variation in the coin's price on currency exchanges.

This is a statement from the coin developers to citizens of the UK and the choice of wording should convey the semantics as intended, not some serendipitous meaning that has to be stretched beyond all plausibility in order to fit.
