Not round? Just sayin'

I think they should be octangcircusquarigal.  ;D

Electron orbits are round, not square :)

 they are not round just look like it because they have an indefinitely amount of corners.

they should be the shape of an electron cloud

ns orbitals are round, not square :)

They should have the shape of a cloud of probability and be defined by the Schrödinger equation.

Maybe they should be the shape of a key?

Remember: There is no Bitcoin!

...only transactions :)

perhaps they should form the shape of an elliptic curve

Will

Shouldn't they be shaped like a burgler to keep everyone vigilant?  ;)

If a few bitcoin falls out of your pocket in the forest, do they make a sound?
Answer: No... because...(um)... its a Jungle out there.

Ankyu....Ankyu...

If you throw a coin into my panhandle hat, send me your e-mail and I'll send you a funny invest joke. Only Wallstreet types need apply (gotta have deep pockets) - cause 1/2 coin = only half a joke.  ::)

Electrons in semiconductors are delocalized and have no definite orbitals, and electrons themselves are indivisible elementary particles: something bitcoins are not.
Although... bitcoins are like fuzzy objects that are sometimes not there when their owners look for them, as well as catlike objects that resist being put back in the bag...

What are, like bitcoins, mineable (by breeding), infinitely divisible (by fur), easily transferable (by purpose or negligence), and more? Cats.

Therefore, I propose that the official shape of bitcoins be the furball.

There is no denying that it's hip to be square.

Wouldn't the market collapse by observing it?

It should be torus shaped.
Reflecting the [seemingly] infinite adress space.

Wave function collapse? When I made my weekly "portfolio" check in Mt. Gox a few days ago, Bitcoins were at $17 and slowly going up. I put in a buy order for $100 and ten minutes later they were at 1 cent.

Although stocks usually go down right after I buy them, like when I lost my entire portfolio of $2500 in eight days last year, this is a little more like a lightning strike from Hermes.

1. When I saw the title I had a feeling someone didn't understand some science.

2. When I read the OP, I had a feeling someone would screw up and use the Bohr model of the atom to justify roundness.

3. When someone finally did use the Bohr model, I had a feeling I'd end up being the one who explained how and why they were wrong.

When someone not only proved me wrong on #3 but went on to make Schroedinger jokes about the market collapsing when observed I finally realized EXACTLY how right for me this community is.

You guys rock.

I think we're going to need a LOT more market volume ;)

I nominate myself!

I'd like to Imagine it being Like a "BuckyBall". :)

Perhaps we should first define how many dimensions we are working with.

My brain goes all mushy after about 11...

Bitcoins aren't round, if you look very closely they consist of rectangles, and if you look even closer they consist of 0's and 1's. Looking round is just an illusion to be compatible with humanity's historical conceptions about money.

If bitcoin is not square, then it should be there... ;D

or is it the other way around? ???

I avoided this thread after reading it when it was only 1 post, definitely a pleasant surprise.  I miss the cheesy physics humor of grad school.

What stocks did you buy that went to zero value in 8 days? Definitely not any on the S&P 500, NYSE or NASDAQ

I want a coin with key and transaction imagery that says along the rim "There is no coin".

I thought OP was saying they should be square because they came from "blocks"  :P

You sir, win the prize of best signature ever.

Oh, my god! That is such a great signature!

+0.05 BTC for sig :)

Well duh. Quoting M theory would not make a joke, it would just be creepy weird. Maybe you are confusing me with someone?
