With block 127430, the total number of hashes estimated to have been performed as work in the block chain surpassed 10^19, or 10 billion billion hashes.

This may look like a large number, but at the current hashing speed, it would only take around a month to redo all that...
I do Bitcoin stuff.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.
