I would think they would be on server computers? But then it would be easy to trace? Am I missing something? This doesn't add up.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Are you asking about all bitcoins in the Bitcoin system? The newly created aren't mined "from" anywhere, they are simply introduced to the system out of thin air. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining for more information.

That's more of an actual answer but I don't know what that terminology means.

So the miners aren't really mining. They are doing work by completing the Bitcoin transactions. Rewarded with the newly issued Bitcoins. When a block of work is done they are paid a certain amount of coins.
Calling them workers instead of miners would clear up a lot of confusion. But then you would miss out on the gold fever mentality, mob rush.

I think you may need to start here before jumping to the wiki. And yes, what you described is mostly correct. EDIT: Why da fuck doesn't bitcoin.org have SSL? It doesn't even redirect to plain HTTP, just gives a Server Not Found browser error page. Awesome!

Mostly correct. Actually, anyone can mint ANY amount of new bitcoin out the thin air. However, only those minted based on agreed rules will be accepted by other people.

I was joking. Of course, I know they're generated from thin air. (Or thick air.) Actually, they're mined from a vacuum.
