Is bitcoin 2 coming out next month?
No.
Everybody knows eleven is my favorite number, so if there was going to be a major release of bitcoin it would be "Bitcoin 11". But it ain't gonna happen.
Only 11 kinds of people in the world, those who can count in binary and those who can't ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So what's the third type of people? (you said there were 11) 11=2 in binary Really? Not in any binary I know. What is 1, 2, 3 in binary? 1 = 2 = 3 =

He actually meant "nary" which in old english is defined as "not one." The "bi" prefix is naturally a sexual orientation conjugation he chose to append.

01 = 1 10 = 2 11 = 3
If 01 + 10 = 11 = 3, Then why doesn't 01 + 11 = 12 = 4?

Because math is rigorous, regardless of base.

To answer the question (serious or not, some may not understand), we normally use base 10 because there are 10 symbols in our integer counting system, 0-9 Base2 has 2 - 0 and 1 Base16 (hex) has 16 - 0-F so Base10 | Base2 | hex | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 10 | 2 | 3 | 11 | 3 | 4 | 100 | 4 | 5 | 101 | 5 | 6 | 110 | 6 | 7 | 111 | 7 | 8 | 1000 | 8 | 9 | 1001 | 9 | 10 | 1010 | A | 11 | 1011 | B | 12 | 1100 | C | 13 | 1101 | D | 14 | 1110 | E | 15 | 1111 | F | 16 | 10000 | 10 | 17 | 10001 | 11 | 18 | 10010 | 12 | 19 | 10011 | 13 | 20 | 10100 | 14 | 21 | 10101 | 15 | 22 | 10110 | 16 | 23 | 10111 | 17 | 24 | 11000 | 18 | 25 | 11001 | 19 | 26 | 11010 | 1A | 27 | 11011 | 1B | 28 | 11100 | 1C | 29 | 11101 | 1D | 30 | 11110 | 1E | 31 | 11111 | 1F | 32 | 100000 | 20 | 33 | 100001 | 21 |
As a modern byte has 8 bits (historically not always the case) there are 256 different values a byte can have - sqrt(256) = 16 so we can describe a byte with two hex numbers - which is why you see hex used so often when talking about the value of a byte (essentially it is base256 with 00-FF as the possible values)

Funny how some people get angry about "Bitcoin 2" proposal (not in this thread, I guess, but somewhere on reddit). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.memegenerator.co%2Finstances%2F600x%2F40130477.jpg&t=665&c=fF8hZyle-0SlxA) The truth is, Bitcoin is 100% voluntary. I like my current Bitcoin and don't need to care much about Bitcoin 2. If, however, there begins a noticeable market with Bitcoin 2 guys (will never happen, but let's imagine that), I can decide to voluntarily join this market. Or not. Either way I have choice and everyone's happy.

I have always thought that humanity would have done much better with base-12 counting system than base-10. The Babylonians had the right idea with 60 as the most useful number, because of its divisibility, where 10 is very much inferior. The metric system would be much better in base-12 too. Too late now though!

in unary (like binary, but only one), it's 2. 1 = 1 11 = 2 111 = 3 1111 = 4 ....

Point of base58 is base 62 but w/o characters that are too similar. I've not seen a lot of implementations but most I have seen keep 0 so that the first 10 are the same. bitcoin doesn't. Also most I've seen have lower case letters before upper. But there is no standard for base58 as far as I know.

All number systems are base 10 if you think about it. The word "base 10" is horribly ambiguous for meaning base-ten. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimgs.xkcd.com%2Fcomics%2F1_to_10.png&t=665&c=fP_X9KhPXf-DRA) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg715.imageshack.us%2Fimg715%2F4185%2Fbase10z.png&t=665&c=4mKuEJmvkdUL0w)
