Hi all,

I decided to make a quiz for fun and to try and spread knowledge about Bitcoin to people who don't know about it yet. Give it a try and let me know how you did.

If you see any errors please let me know so I can fix them. Smiley

Good luck, and please share it on Facebook etc!

Haha! Glad to see people are enjoying it. I chose questions I knew the answers to (more or less) as otherwise it's easy to make the answers badly. If anyone has any suggestions for new questions let me know, if they're decent and relevant I'll put them in. Smiley

Cool quiz. Scored 80,250, so I guess I've been spending too much time reading about Bitcoin since I got the bug barely two months ago.

First now Grin

I think the Mt. Gox/Mt. Sox thing is going to be a bit of a problem for some people. In addition, as the questions are scrambled, it may ask you about how many bitcoins were seized from Silk Road, allowing one to then easily answer the question about what the shutdown illegal organization was.

Anyway, it was quite fun, and I am waiting to be topped.

Anyway, you should add more technical questions about transaction fees, mining pools, et cetera.

Yeah, the scrambling is a bit annoying, but I can't seem to turn it off.  Roll Eyes

I might make a separate quiz about the technical aspects. It's a great idea and would be fun to make, but this one was made for the general population, with the hope it would spread awareness and interest in BTC.

75 people have played so far! Cheesy The questions with the most incorrect answers are the ones about the Genesis Block, how anonymous it is and how many BTC were seized with Silk Road.

Apparently I don't read fast enough.

Note, one of your answers is technically incorrect (although close enough to correct that it is obvious which answer you are expecting).

I won't post the question or correct answer here so as not to spoil any of the quiz for anyone who hasn't tried it yet.  Send me a PM if you want to fix the quiz.

Some of these answers need correction.

Time to send Bitcoins internationally
"Virtually instantly" one can certainly deliver a promise to send bitcoins, but this zero-confirmation transaction is just that: a promise. The transaction hasn't even been committed into one single block (which can potentially be revoked) yet, so it isn't even in the blockchain at all.

That said, when a promise to send bitcoins is considered sending bitcoins, then the answer is correct. But this is a slippery slope: is sending coins over CoinBase considered sending bitcoins instantly? After all, it's another promise...

Seizure of Silk Road
The actual amount seized from Silk Road is over the options presented, at around 171955.09292687 BTC. This was seized in two instalments.

Well,  if we're going to be posting spoilers in this thread, then I'll go ahead and mention that the answer to:

"What is the maximum number of Bitcoins that can be produced?"

is not 21 Million.

If there had never been any bugs in the software, the maximum would have been:
20999999.97690000

However, early on there were a few blocks where less than the maximum number of bitcoins were mined.  As such, the new maximum will be a bit less than 20999999.97690000, although I don't recall how many less.

A zero confirmation transaction is much more than a promise. It is:

1. Conclusive proof that you control the funds
2. You having to take conclusive action (with a non-100% success) rate to try to send the Bitcoins elsewhere to stop the transfer from happening

I usually accept 0-conf transactions when I dealt with the other party before. Otherwise 1 is fine.
