Title: What continent are you from? Post by: Possum577 on March 09, 2015, 12:23:01 AM I'd love some stats on the geographic make up of the active folks on this forum. I've not seen the statistics compiled or shown anywhere else (and if they do exist, please feel free to point me in the right direction.)
We can learn a lot about each other by knowing how geographically diverse (or centered) the community is. Thanks. Title: Re: What continent are you from?

SE Europe here, i think most of our audience is from US, and asian teritories, but am also interested in what the poll will show. You can take a look at alexa report, it will show you some basic statistics, but sadly not full informations, since its a paying service. cheers Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: jeffhuys on March 09, 2015, 12:54:54 AM If I had to guess, I'd guess China. China has a LOT of people. Chinese people are all over these boards!
Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: randy8777 on March 09, 2015, 01:02:50 AM i'm from europe, have voted as well. i think it's fair to say that most of the forum members here are from usa.
after usa comes europe and china. china is already nr1 in network hashrate so one day they will also be nr1 on this forum. Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: Enjorlas on March 09, 2015, 01:04:40 AM I swear. The moment someone says, "I'm from Antarctica" I am flipping fucking tables.

I'll spare you the effort, since I'm from Daedelia Planum (a "continent" on Mars). Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: jeffhuys on March 09, 2015, 01:20:15 AM I swear.

I'm from zz9 plural z alpha! You probably haven't heard of it, it's soooo underground and hipster and cool. Just like I am cool because I know what zz9 plural z alpha means. ;D Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: MineForeman.com on March 09, 2015, 01:22:07 AM I swear. The moment someone says, "I'm from Antarctica" I am flipping fucking tables. If antarctica was there I would probably pick it since New Zealand is close and not in any of the available options :P . Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: Possum577 on March 09, 2015, 01:29:03 AM Coming from New Zealand I seem to be left out of your poll. Sorry mate, I'll make an edit to include Oceania (for Australia, NZ, and pacific islands). I love New Zealand (only been once but it was fantastic). Very sorry to keep you out, thanks for calling me out. Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: MineForeman.com on March 09, 2015, 01:34:52 AM @Possum577 Thanks, you even went for the option that includes most of the places left out ;) .
One day I am going to find the guy who teaches this stuff in school and point out that there are 4.5 million angry kiwi's after him. Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: Malin Keshar on March 09, 2015, 01:41:28 AM you also forgot Central America
Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: jacktheking on March 09, 2015, 01:45:50 AM I'm from South East Asia. I always thought that North America use Bitcoin more than Europe and it seem like I'm wrong.. or maybe North American dont like to use forums?

Possum577 That was a nice idea you came up with, asking bitcointalkers where they come from. It will be interesting to see how well (or not) those who respond to you come from vs., say, hashing power (blockchain.info's mining pool stats). N. America! Title: Re: What continent are you from?

It will be interesting to see how well (or not) those who respond to you come from vs., say, hashing power (blockchain.info's mining pool stats). N. America! Hey, that's a great idea. Let's compare the location of hashing power to this poll. Where do we find the hashing power source info on blockchain...is it relatively easy for me to find? Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: Possum577 on March 09, 2015, 03:21:54 AM you also forgot Central America Isn't that a region? It is a region and Central America (from the isthmus of Panama north) is part of North America. Great question, thanks for your participation. Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: OROBTC on March 09, 2015, 03:27:52 AM ...
Possum577 Link to mining pool stats: https://blockchain.info/pools EDIT: I could not figure out how to get that pie chart pasted in here, but here are some recent stats re hashing power, these figures are very similar to the ones I mentioned in a separate thread a few days ago: AntMiner: 18% China F2Pool: 15% " BTCChina Pool: 10% " BW.COM: 10% " KnCMiner: 6% Sweden GHash.IO: 4% UK? Slovakia? Ukraine? (Comment: remember when GHash.IO briefly had 51%?) BTCGuild: 3% ? Slush: 3% Czech Republic There is a separate column for "Unknowns". You can search Google and find out the country, or at least where they report from. IIRC, "5.9.xxx.xxx" is Germany and "82.221.xx.xx" is Iceland. Correct me where wrong! Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: |Bitcoin| on March 09, 2015, 03:29:42 AM Before I vote, Europe, Asia and North American was tie. Now Asia is leading! I'm from Asia too!
Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: QuestionAuthority on March 09, 2015, 03:38:48 AM I don't understand the purpose of this. What does knowing the continent tell you?
Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: koshgel on March 09, 2015, 03:39:38 AM Surprised a bit at the diversity. Apparently not many Africans though.
Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: bitwarrior on March 09, 2015, 03:42:54 AM From Asia here, so it looks like people from north america and this continent is leading the poll. Nice to see more asians getting active in this forum.

I'm from Asia too! From Asia here, so it looks like people from north america and this continent is leading the poll. Nice to see more asians getting active in this forum. Nearly half of the world population is located in Asia, so there's no contest who should come in first. Title: Re: What continent are you from?

Unfortunately, this forum has been blocked by Chinese GFW.So I don't think there are lot of Chinese people in here. Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: sakira on March 09, 2015, 04:12:41 AM I came from asia, asia seem very much in this forum :)
and certainly china dominate? :) Title: Re: What continent are you from? Post by: Possum577 on March 09, 2015, 04:38:57 AM I don't understand the purpose of this. What does knowing the continent tell you? It's pretty technical, but let me try to explain it in simple terms. Knowing what continent you're from gives me a general idea of where all you fuckers are from in this world without requiring you to divulge too much detail on where you're from. Bitcoin has away of promoting anonymity. Just joking with you, it's just a simple question...like when you go to a party and strike up a conversation with someone knew and say "so, where are you from?" This is one big party, I'm meeting you for the first time...so where are you from? Title: Re: What continent are you from?

I for one find it very interesting to see in the poll the userbase of Bitcoin. Also the fact that Africa has zero is significant, it just comes to show how undevelopped the infrastructure there is, while the biggest value of bitcoin is for people in third world countries with no solid fiat system....
