Title: How much do bitcoins weigh? Post by: holy_cow on April 11, 2013, 08:44:56 PM If we had an estimate of the number of copies of blockchains in existence, we could compute the weight. See:
http://superuser.com/questions/11423/how-much-does-a-gigabyte-weigh-on-a-hard-disk So for example, if 1GB is ~1 microgram, then a single blockchain would be 6.3 micrograms. 6.3 * 158,730 = 1,000,000. So 158,730 blockchains would equal 1 gram. edit: spel goode Title: Re: How much do bitcoins weigh?
