There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Google stats are never 100% accurate.
For example, both Austin and Houston appear in that list. Why is Texas so special?
Some anomolies there for sure.
Maybe the Russian interest is criminality?

They may well be inaccurate but the mix of libertarianism, Alex Jones followers and "alt culture" in Austin all lead me to be less than surprised by their level of interest.
I was definitely wondering about organized crime elements in Russia.

Rick Perry calling for secession... Which no state can do by law... However Texans could definitely start using Bitcoin on the DL and try to avoid taxes from the "angry black man" in Washington.  |

Texans are a libertarian bunch (not the majority, but higher percentage than most states), and Austin is a major techie center of Texas. Plus the University of Texas is there, and lots of hippies and what not... Houston surprises me though, except that it is the biggest city in Texas population wise.

Regarding ex-Soviets, there's A LOT of them who really don't like that socialism/communism thing. They had to live under it, so they're often more anti-communist/socialist than Americans.
Plus yea, there's lost of mafias there :/

I'm fully aware and always loathe people who talk sympathetically of the Soviet Union while condemning Nazism. The "ex-Soviet" tag was simply used to spruce up the title. |

Wasn't accusing you of doing anything wrong or making any sort of assumptions. Just pointing out that both, ex-Soviets and Texans, have large section of their population as anti-Socialist. |

And what's with the high Finnish interest? They get to heat their homes for free. Makes reindeer spotting & returning from ice fishing trips/skiing in -50c weather that much more fun And they could sell polar bear skins for bitcoinsIf there were any polars bears up there |

Obviously, you aren't from Texas I (not the quotee) am not from there any more...thank God. I actually kind of liked Austin when I lived there. I only went to Houston once for a few hours. That was enough time to see a hit-n-run accident. The cool thing about it was that both parties ran after about 15 seconds of getting their bearings. |
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.
