The blockchain app is a bitcoin wallet app.. Not sure what apps have been blocked if any, but everything needed can be gotten on the appstore. You definitely don't need to jailbreak or buy a android to use a phone wallet.
Bingo...at least one bitcoin wallet is not forbidden...and works quite well! |

Lol. Has anyone involved in this bet actually been paid anything? So far I've yet to see someone actually say so. I'm guessing he won't pay everyone. I'll bet 100 million billion trillion Bitcoins. Any takers? |

my "0" balance is also completely wrong. lol.
Uhhh....no it's not. http://blockchain.info/address/1HB9mgo3cdqBoC3jPemDpD8TPHFxcuQ8ADThe OP isn't foolishly claiming the numbers he is listing are the total amounts owned by each user. That's just silly. Everyone knows that. You could also look at this as a "who in bitcoin land chose to make their balances known" exercise. My estimate is roughly correct and since it's never gonna make me ridiculously wealthy, I'm not all that concerned about who knows. If it does make me crazy wealthy...well...I guess people will know that. |

It's been a long time since I've run the satoshi client...I got a mac mini to keep one computer in the house always up and running (and connected via ethernet), so I decided to run a node for the network (might see if it should support testnet though). Anyhow, I have a somewhat fast internet connection (100 mbits/s) and the initial download wasn't so bad...after I opened the port settings. Total download time ~12 hrs. Not ideal, but, not catastrophic. I'm trying multibit now...it's instantaneous....I'm pretty impressed!
Addendum: spoke too soon...I'm still downloading the blockchain on my satoshi client. The download goes really fast initially...then, not so much!

This data isn't very useful. Most users use donation addresses in their signature that are separate from their savings in order to preserve some anonymity.
I think everyone realizes this...but, no other analysis is possible using publicly available data. |

That's very interesting. I guess I'm not super surprised at the distribution. Could you plot registration date on the forum against #btc received? I'd be curious.
Also, plot the cumulative % of the total btc own by forum members by rank (ie, the richest dude owns 12%, the top 2 own 20%, the top 3 own 26%, etc...

I expect governments will still require paper accounting in fiat...they don't want you buying a house for 10K Bitcoins and selling it 10 yrs later for fiat profit at 1 K Bitcoins...they'd never get taxes from you...

Whatever pool you aim this at is definitely going to notice it, but for the network at large it is a single Avalon Asic is still roughly one third of one hundredth of one percent of the bitcoin network's hashing power or a bit less.
Or in other words, on average, a solo mining Avalon ASIC should find a block once every 2 days, 4 hours at current difficulty. Ahhh, this takes me back to early days of the first of the double 5970 rigs ... actually was a block per day when we hacked up the PCI extension cable/power breakout trick I seem to recall. Hahah...I found 4 blocks in one night on my laptop CPU...man have things changed. If only I had found Bitcoin sooner...it was literally a week later that CPU mining went kaput... |

Cryptographic Escrow Super efficient, escrow agent can't steal funds, almost entirely do-it-yourself when the transaction goes as planned. Possibility of paying for dispute resolution services on an as-needed basis. Software is FREE Anyone can be an agent or a trading partner See it in action right now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=135914 - Read thread from start to finish to see how participants learn the system and get comfortable enough with it to use with real bitcoins. They discuss a bet, and I show up in post #23 to explain how my escrow system can help with their bet. They are now using it. Wow. That's pretty clever! Now reputation of the escrow agent matters most, rather than clunky eBay feedback systems. Nicely done! |

What is the probability of coming up with a valid Bitcoin address if the appropriate number of characters are selected from the appropriate sample space? Is it very unlikely to randomly guess a valid address?

Just curious, but has it ever been determined if these guys kept the secret keys after manufacturing the bills? These guys just seemed to disappear one day.
I originally had two full sets. I opened one and redeemed them on mt Gox without a problem. The other set checks out fine when querying the addresses. He (Doug) did disappear suddenly. I think he lost a fair chunk of change. Not sure why he never came back. Perhaps he feared some legal issues? I never heard anyone have trouble with a BitBill...but I'm not sure how's my were ever made. It was kinda short lived. Still seems like a good idea, but I think Casascius coins work pretty well too. Anyhow, I'm glad to have this bit of Bitcoin history. |

Bump...any news? Perhaps Trendon should take his story to Hollywood....I'd watch that movie!

It's flabbergasting that people deposited serious amounts of money on a website, created by a teen in 4 days.
No more flabbergasting than people handing over millions to some guy offering 7% a week or some company promising to deliver a machine that mines unicorns. +1 These examples make teen investing sound wise... |

I just want to remind everyone that this is an internet forum, one with very little relevance to the real world.
The internet is the real world, no? Not only did you steal my quote, you reworded it. Scam Accusations

Ok, but what about the privileges, other then a sound conscience?
It is a foundation, guess joining is not about privileges, but about agenda you support. Yes. I support the agenda that pays smart people to make stuff for me...as opposed to hoping someone will keep doing it for free. |

Privileges? None really. You get to participate in setting the foundation agenda.
