Looks like your original model is the winner.  434,883 is slightly outside the upper quartile, but close.  Not very many other people predicted it would go so high.
62  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just a reminder (difficulty) on: May 26, 2011, 05:30:56 PM
The latest network graphs look like the beginnings of an S-curve to me.  The trend may not continue, but if I'm seeing it correctly, it looks like difficulty would peak around 800,000 - 900,000.
63  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google Correlate on: May 26, 2011, 04:02:34 PM
It's showing you which queries have geographic distributions that are the most similar to "Bitcoin".  It's not the clearest example... a better example: you would expect the geographic distribution of searches for "blizzards" and "snow shovels" to be almost identical.

Apparently Bitcoin miners tend to live in areas where "mini american eskimo puppies" are all the rage.  XD
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Just a reminder (difficulty) on: May 26, 2011, 03:59:13 PM
Two and a half hours to the difficulty retarget, and it's going to be a doozy.

"Vires in Numeris" = "Strength in Numbers" is appealing the most to me. It is simple and works on more than one level at the same time.

Woot, I actually contributed to the community!   Wink
66  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New bitcoin logo on: May 25, 2011, 07:41:42 AM
If we're throwing around Latin mottos, "Vires in Cryptographia" = "Strength in Cryptography".  (c.f. "Vires in Numeris" = "Strength in Numbers".)
67  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mtgox volume? on: May 24, 2011, 06:04:40 PM
Number of bitcoins traded through the site (in the past 24 hours, I presume).

You should get set up on the Web of Trust over at http://bitcoin-otc.com/

That way you can receive ratings for Bitcoin transactions just like on eBay.

(I'm not on the WOT myself, so I don't know exactly what's involved.)

Hmm!  Note the similarity between October/November and April/May in this graph:

I was skeptical of some of your predictions for a while, S3052, but this latest "unexpected" sell-off is really winning me over.
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Oh god what on: May 20, 2011, 03:37:25 PM
Sounds like you actually have 1/420th of the entire chain.  Dude.
       
300 * 420 = 126000

Nope.
Epii is referring to Legion's later post elsewhere, where he says he found a backup with 46,850 BTC in the old wallet. (46850+300)*446 = approximately 21000000. Impressive!
420?  My math was off on account of posting that at 2am, but you got the point I was trying to make.   Tongue

Are you sure they are on?  I can't see a noticeable bump in total network power.  The increase is steady within normal variance.  Perhaps a lot of GPU miners shut down their systems at the exact same time?
If so they have become really good at turning them on and off at the same time:

NOW there's been a spike.  Big time.
Note that the spike goes in the wrong direction when the FPGA clusters "just went online", and also compare with this historical chart which shows the variance on a longer time scale.
Yup, I'm aware of both of these things.  Just pointing out that the hashrate has gone from "below the difficulty" to "double the difficulty" in the past several hours.  This may or may not be significant, but it's at least eyebrow-raising.

EDIT:  It looks like it's peaked and dropped down closer to the trendline now, though.

The only more appropriate place to ask his question would be here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3421.0

If you're disconcerted because most readers won't understand, he's asking how many Chinese people there are on the forum, and what their names are.  That's not necessarily a question that needs to be asked in English.
76  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware of scammers! on: May 19, 2011, 08:04:05 PM
I have been trading for a few months and just encountered my first scammer (luke-jr - Luke Dashjr luke@dashjr.org). Beware, he's also operating a mining pool which is setup as a front to scam miners out of their profits. This guy will try every devious method to lie, cheat, and steal.
Seeing as though luke-jr is a very well-established member in this community, and has only positive ratings in the WOT (including a rating from Keefe, the most highly-rated member of the WOT), some evidence is in order.
77  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Technical Analysis on: May 14, 2011, 07:59:57 PM
Yep, there it went, all the way down to uh, 8.2?
Well a single big seller did take the price down to 7.4

But just over 24 hours ago a single big seller took the price down to 6.51 (see the MtGox 48 hour chart). Looks like a general uptrend to me.

It's back to 8.55 now anyway.
And back down to 8.0.  Takeaway point (news to nobody): this market is volatile.

My original point, though, is that you don't need to be a market analyst to know this looks bearish:
78  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Technical Analysis on: May 14, 2011, 07:09:22 PM
I think the reversal might be beginning ... Aaand resistance is broken

I would expect volume to be lower on the weekend, with less new money flowing in to MtGox. Mt Gox price increases have generally been volume driven, so no great surprise here. Wait till after Monday's trading to decide what's happening.
The volume of users might be lower, but the volume of funds seems comparable to volatile times during the week.  ($119,892 USD in the past 4 hours.)
79  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Technical Analysis on: May 14, 2011, 06:58:30 PM
Again, the charts gave a clear signal. This is the chart before the decline:
I'll take your word for it, but "clear" is a bit of a stretch.
80  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Technical Analysis on: May 14, 2011, 06:35:38 PM
Looking at the market depth right now, I think the reversal might be beginning...
A little resistance at $8, and then it's a slide.

EDIT:  Aaand resistance is broken.  Before I got to sell.   Embarrassed
