Im not sure if this is to be trusted?
I sent a few coins to the app but they were never received... (or maybe the programmer received them?)
Any other experiences?

Does it matter why somebody buys or sells a lot of bitcoins at any given time?

I don't see how this is anything like bitcoin.
The 'official' currency/economic systems are broken at the core, just another way to transfer these funds in a broken system doesn't fix the system or compete with an actual good system.

Problem is, you can't just make up bitcoins to give away to get people started, like paypal did... They just hand you a virtual made up credit that represents 10 USD, the actual 10 USD doesn't exist.
We can't just make up bitcoins, it would have to be done by somebody with huge amounts of bitcoins who's willing to give them away for free.

I think the situation in Spain has potential for bitcoin, but, i think not many people will care about looking into it in the first place.
Looking at the maps of bitcoin nodes it looks like its growing exponentially.

Yea, because it's totally impossible to pay a criminal/scientist or anyone else for that matter with anything else then bitcoins.

Did you seriously read the link provided before? the wallet.dat file contains your private keys (used to verify which bitcoins are yours), the actual bitcoin blocks are all over the network, the wallet.dat file just points out which ones you own... Quote from the site above: Locating BitCoin's data directory
The data directory is the location where Bitcoin's data files are stored, including the wallet data file.
[edit] Windows
Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:
explorer %APPDATA%\BitCoin
BitCoin's data folder will open. For most users, this is the following locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\BitCoin (XP)
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\BitCoin (Vista and 7)
"AppData" and "Application data" are hidden by default.
[edit] Linux
By default BitCoin will put its data here:
~/.bitcoin/
You need to do a "ls -a" to see directories that start with a dot.
If that's not it, you can do a search like this:
find / -name wallet.dat -print 2>/dev/null
[edit] Mac
By default BitCoin will put its data here:
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
[edit] Backup
The only file you need to back up is "wallet.dat". Ensure that BitCoin is closed, copy this file somewhere else, encrypt it, and put it somewhere safe. Ideally, you would put this file in two places: one nearby, and one 100+ miles away.
You can use the backupwallet JSON-RPC command to back up without shutting down Bitcoin.

By the way, how much is slush making from running his pool?
Probably not much, given that he recently had to enforce a mandatory donation in order to keep things running. I highly doubt he's making a profit after all the bandwidth and server costs, and is providing us the service more or less out of goodwill. assuming an average rate of 57 GHash/s which gives an average of 31 minutes per block daily thats 24*0.5*50*0.02=12 BTC |
