I just did it. So the results will be made public?
Yes. As soon as the results slow down (kind of like with popcorn popping), or my fund runs out (whichever comes first), I'll get to work compiling the results and putting them up, along with a raw version for anyone that wants to more in-depth analysis. |

Yes, I'm only saving a hashed value of the e-mail addresses. (A repeatedly hashed value to be more precise. You can never be too paranoid.  ) How is this more secure? Well, I'm not an security expert or anything, but as far as I know, there's no computationally easy way to reverse a hash function (let alone several times), so if anybody were to (somehow) get into my database, they wouldn't suddenly have a handy list of plain e-mail addresses they could use to spam with. |

First of all, I applaud the initiative. Second, the title of the post (mybitcoin...) raised an eyebrow for a moment  Finally, I hope you will use the answers to design a more specific and detailed questionary in future. Thank you! This is the first time I've ever done something like this, so I hope that this experience will help me make the next one a lot better. On a side note, we have now hit 75 responses! (I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats) |

Nice survey. Since this one was largely demographics and very general Bitcoin questions, what sort of topics did you have in mind for future surveys?
Well, I have some ideas. One of the things I'd like to explore more (and others expressed interest in this) are the challenges that might be turning people away from Bitcoin, like negative perception or difficulty to use, and see if there are things we can do to help change it. Part of the reason I'm doing the demographics right now is to figure out more about why certain types of people might be more likely to use Bitcoin than others, at least at this stage. We'll have to look at the results, but if I had to speculate, I would imagine that we have a relatively high proportion of younger users, as they would be more willing to adopt something new, who are also more technically oriented (programmers, etc.), because Bitcoin would be easier to understand. This might suggest that we should figure out ways to explain and market Bitcoin better to non-technical younger people if we want Bitcoin adoption to increase. |

Done. I'm curious to see the results.
So am I! We've got about 50 responses so far, so that's the best $6 I've ever spent! |

Okay, the issue should be resolved now. I'm so sorry about that.
Just so you know, it wasn't catastrophic data failure or anything like that. I just accidentally overlooked a syntax error while trying to fix a different small issue (Someone was getting redirected to the first question for a bizarre reason).

Shoot, sorry. Something has apparently gone wrong. I'm currently fixing it now.

Thank you to everybody that's responded so far! Less than two hours and already over 30 of you have helped out. Keep it up!

Are you saving the hash value of the email-addresses?
Yes, I'm only saving a hashed value of the e-mail addresses. (A repeatedly hashed value to be more precise. You can never be too paranoid. ) |

Great survey... I even declined the bitcents lol  Shh. Don't give away the secret!  |

Okay, so if you've read the "Research on the Bitcoin Community" thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85967.0 ), you'll know that I've been working on a little survey project to try to learn a little more about all of us Bitcoin users. It will only take a few minutes of your time (14 questions), so if you could help out I would really appreciate it! https://bitcoinsurvey.herokuapp.comFeedback is also appreciated. Thank you! |

So, I guess that I was a little too optimistic about how close I was to finishing... But, it looks like I've got a working app now. Before I release it, though, could I please get a couple volunteers to try it out and make sure it works first? Just let me know and I'll PM you the link. Thank you!

+1 to Joshwaa. Thanks for helping me out!

Since the amount is small I will cover it. PM sent.
I guess TangibleCryptography has been doing too many transactions, because Dwolla wouldn't let me send, so the request still stands. Thank you for offering though, TC. |

Hi, everyone. I'm just looking for about 4 BTC (it's for this little survey project that I've been working on lately - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85967). I was going to use an exchange, but just as soon as my paltry $25 fund cleared, I just now found out that my Dwolla account is too recent, so if someone could help me out I would really appreciate it. I don't have a bitcoin-otc record (yet), but I did get a little bit of positive feedback on Bitcoin Feedback ( http://www.bitcoinfeedback.com/viewuser.php?id=38) back in the day. |

Yeah, browsers are sure easy-going, but I still can't help being a stickler for correctness. (Not to say that I don't make mistakes myself, though) |

Wait, why do you have two </script> tags?

Hooray! The address in my signature is fine. Thank you!

Oh no, I'm not too late am I?  |
