I'd be surprised to see anything explosive to the upside before tuesday (no matter what chinese or any other market does).. actually wednesday more likely. But when the rocket fires that next stage... it'll shake the world who will watch in disbelief.
It does seem to be putting in a floor again. Is $94 the new $47... |

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.

Does anyone else enjoy the eerie quiet?
It is Easter, so a little quiet is to be expected. It's at best a enhanced weekend dip, in Asia we don't celebrate the Easter, so our attack should still continue. question is: will it spill over to mtGox? I guess arbitrageurs will have a hard time moving fiat to mtGox and buffers are only that big. I'd be surprised to see anything explosive to the upside before tuesday (no matter what chinese or any other market does).. actually wednesday more likely. But when the rocket fires that next stage... it'll shake the world who will watch in disbelief. Amen!  |

Interestingly, breaking down the search volume on Google for the last 12 months by region... Cyprus is nowhere to be found. I never really believed the notion, but it's not impossible. I'm wondering why people are making this assumption. Is there more data related to this correlation (Cyprus' interest in BTC vs BTC rising value)?  Edit: Filtering by past 7, 30, 90 days yields about the same results, and still no sign of Cyprus. |

Edit: Filtering by past 7, 30, 90 days yields about the same results, and still no sign of Cyprus. Although some are making the claim that the rise in price is due to panicking Cypriots buying Bitcoin I think the more credible (though not convincing to me) claim made is that the Cyprus situation is giving the other countries, particularly southern European weaker Euro nations the jitters with respect to what will happen in theirs. But the search results don't appear to back this up either. Maybe to the extent the Cyprus story is having an impact it's more likely that it is reaffirming the pre-existing beliefs of people world-over who see the banks and traditional currencies as being in a precarious position thereby increasing their confidence (and holding) in Bitcoin. And given that a reasonably high proportion of such people know enough about and/or are involved with Bitcoin already then this wouldn't necessarily show up in the search statistics. But then again my theory, by my having nothing of substance to support it, is pure conjecture too  And in the meantime the oversimplified version doesn't need to be true to sell papers/TV news slots providing it makes a good story! |

The stats on sourceforge show Cyprus down near 50th with a negligible percentage of downloads. Not what you would expect if there was serious amount of investment going on. However, the last weekly count for Cyprus, 149 downloads, is greater than 50% of the monthly count, so there is *some* increase in interest recently. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/stats/map |

Also interesting stat, in Tanzania there are 1608 Mac installations, and only 1 Windows installation, is it one single person responsible for all this? |

And this makes the case that nobody should take my hypotheses too seriously because it didn't even cross my mind to take this into consideration! Regarding the additional downloads from Cyprus isn't it just as likely to have arisen out of the news claims of Cypriots putting their savings into Bitcoin rather than the other way round? |

Cyprus population (south) about 850,000, so indeed, they have the highest number of downloads of the bitcoin client per capita. That is significant! Slovenia (pop 2m) has the same number of downloads, also high per capita. And this country is next up on the euro hangman's gallows. |

Now since they obviously record individual IPs, why can't sourceforge publish stats of them? Then we can have a general idea of the number of bitcoin users in the world. |

That info might be available to the Bitcoin admin team on sourceforge. But a lot of users won't run a full client, they will just have a web wallet and manage their coins from it. Blockchain has about 150k wallet users. |
