I'll defined question, I know, but any justifiable estimate?

Specifically, can you answer Jerry Brito's tweet:

I don't have the answer but it would be cool if someone made a website with all the data.

I'm not sure the question makes sense.

If the mining goes through a mining pool, how can you determine the origins of all the miners connected to it? You'll just end up with one pool address.

BTC Guild has servers in US and Europe.

Even mining pool companies like cloudhashing have rigs set up in 4 or 5 locations around the world -- but they pool as one.

I didn't think there was a way to estimate easily...one would probably have to poll a sample or pool operators to make a guesstimate.

Its impossible because of the mining pools and VPNs.

Its impossible to know for sure, but you could try to take an informal poll.
