It is, but I figure everyone is not from all over the place. I'll add for the odd person who's from somewhere else.

You have in the poll: Beligum

If you could change the i and the g from place, it's perfect. :P

And continent would probably be a better choice, else it is going to be a long list after some time :P

I am seeing a lack of eastern countries being listed. There's no India, China, Korea, Japan, and the like. What can the bitcoin community do to expand its userbase?

African are generally poor.

Maybe but many of them are confronted to the problem of money transfer, for they have to transfer the money they eran in Europe to their familly.

So they could be much interested in bitcoins.

90 voters out of 1200 members, that's too few imo.

Isn't there a welcome message or something where we could direct newbies to this poll ?

The list is far from complete as only 5 of 45 American countries are listed.

And I must disagree with you. It's an extremely specific project. In no way could it be described as diverse.

This confirm what I was thinking. Canada is the place in the world with the hightest number of bitcoin users per capita.

- good banking system. cheap to send money to your exchange service
- deserved by a good exchange with low fees (cavirtex)
- relatively cheap electricity
- during a good part of the year we can use the heat of a mining rig to heat our home.

Considering the size of the dataset that might change before I finish writing this though.

Canada 34,801,000/18 = 1,933,389
Sweden 9,415,295/5 = 1,883,059

Yes sweden have the edge for now because you have 1 bitcoin user who filled the survey for every 1,883,059 inhabitant and in canada it's only 1 per 1,883,059.

After crunching the numbers I come to the conclusion that the northern countries like bitcoins more than the others. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada.

Top 5 countries for bitcoins are :

Luxembourg
Sweden
