I was trying to get my head around who all the players are in the world of Bitcoin, and ended up making a network graph focused around the Bitcoin Foundation (to which most of the players are attached in one way or another).  If you're interested, here's a link:

Maybe I missed something with the whole documentary thing going on as I have never heard of this one before that post - I thought only Bruno was to be contacting the charities on behalf of Bitcoin 100 and so this didn't seem right to me.

(especially after https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52543.msg1673306#msg1673306)

In any case I have now given up on this organisation and wish you all the best of luck.

What has this got to do with Bitcoin 100?

You do know that it is very poor netiquette to advertise in a thread such as this?

You can only test concurrently any available work that has the same public key when it was requested.

eg my pub key is A & I request vans:

b, c, d, e, f

all these can be tested or searched for together, as my private key to A gives me the private key solution to them.

but someone else with pub key B requests van gens;

g, h, i

these can't be searched for at the same time as mine as it's a different pub key & hence priv key needed to see/de-crypt the solution.

(A non tech attempt at explanation as I see it - I'm geek lvl @ minus 10 btw, as I'm sure is evident)

That's DYI solution. I wouldn't be surprised that there's some "profi" solution already, I'm just not aware of any.

Thank you a lot, Akka, for your research and list! :-)
I will mail that around this evening, together with Al Gore's quote :-)


What I don't get: Sure, summer '11 was crazy. But I just can't believe there were three times as many "Bitcoin" searchrequests than now? There were two, three big media coverage back then, it all lasted for a few weeks at best. Now we have pretty crazy exchangerates too, have a ton more of real mainstream news coverage, and still only a third of the search queries? Even then, the people who googled Bitcoin back then, still know the topic. And might even have told a few others too..

Any hints? Is google just fkd?

I'm fairly new here and haven't fed the troll so I shan't just yet :p

However: I believe there will be NO 'crash' to zero. I myself would buy up as much as I could lay my hands on long before that, I'm sure there are tens of thousands of others who would do the same.

Also, looking at the wall (as much as this thread is about just that) is becoming less reliable. I'm simply all-in with no stop-loss. I don't need the money I have invested in BTC right now and am happy to let it bounce from whatever bottom it may find itself at back to whatever the market value is.

You simply cannot compare Bitcoin now with what it was in previous years, it has become something else. The highs and lows we've seen recently are a big indicator of how people are playing this market now. Ignore the actual numbers and see the general psychology of the market behind them.

The linear projection (Jan and Feb of this year) ignoring the exponential growth since the start of March suggests (to me at least) a target of around $300-$400 in 2 years time. This is the current underlying trend on top of which the exponential growth is happening, this is the only trendline I'm looking in detail at the moment.

I will of course take anything above this as a bonus.

Take all of this with a pinch of salt of course, I don't profess to be anything other than an interested partaker in the saga of the Bitcoin!

Compared to how many bitcoins are likely in MtGox, the bids are thin all the way down to $1.  When the ball gets rolling in the other direction with the big guys playing, this whole thing will come undone exactly like last time.  Really, the question on everybody's mind should be whether bitcoin can survive 2 catastrophic market collapses.  It's not a matter of if another one will happen, it's a question of when, and we're getting closer to the breaking point.

Sobald ich Zeit finde, setze ich mich da gerne mal ran—im Moment ist meine Freizeit schon mit anderen Designprojekten für gute Zwecke, bei denen ich einfach nicht meinen Mund halten konnte, zugepflastert.

Ohne Frage besser als das alte Design, aber da ist noch immer viel Luft nach oben.

As usual, can you email me a log file?  Or copy any errors you see in the log file here.  I suspect there's an error being thrown that is usually some code punctuation out of place or something.  It's usually a quick fix, and usually results in buttons/commands looking like they do something, but then not doing it at all.

I'm wondering if this is something that the people who originally donated the money would all approve of. True, $1,000 USD is only about BTC13 now - a fraction of the BTC100 we originally planned to distribute to each charity - but still, this does stray a bit from part of the initial goal, which was to convince charities that accepting Bitcoin is beneficial to them (global donations, no fees, no chargeback risks, etc).

You forgot:
- Cypress
- NZ
- Italy

All three countries are planning or attempting to plan to confiscate a percentage of their citizens' savings accounts.  People in those countries are going to be fleeing the national currencies like a bat out of Hades, you just watch.
