Hello from China.

Buy up all those cheap coins!  Grin

There is a nice wall of 2169 coins available for 2619 Yuan right now. 

The Mongols are taking down that great wall quickly now.  Grin

Phone verification is awesome. Electronic bills are starting to be the norm in Sweden so not needing to scan a proof of residence rocks! Thanks.

Although I wonder how this verification can be enough? There has to be a lot of anonymous phone contracts so knowing the customer posseses a number is not really proof of identity?
Justcoin are sneaky, they spring the address verification on you when you click "Withdrawal > Bank".


BTW, will this affect Justcoin?

I agree with what others have posted already, add a "rounds" parameter to the site. Asking the site owner to do this is much more productive than trying to burn him at the stake...

People can use their birth year as the rounds number and they will easily remember it. The rainbow table computers will have to do much more work, if they compute all rounds from 1900 to 2000 they will have to do 196,950 hashes per password instead of 1!

According to reddit, Bitcoin was on CCTV again on Wednesday:

And just look at that spike in Wikipedia traffic! Wow!

Re: Where are the Japanese?

Good question, OP.

Here's the Google Trends data for Chinese, Japanese and Korean versions of the word "Bitcoin":

http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%E6%AF%94%E7%89%B9%E5%B8%81%2C%20%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%82%B3%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%2C%20%EB%B9%84%ED%8A%B8%EC%BD%94%EC%9D%B8&date=today%203-m&cmpt=q

As you can see, China has learned that Bitcoin exists in the past two months, but searches in Korean are still at approximately zero, and Japanese has so few searches it can't even be graphed.

EDIT: Hmm, it seems that "Bitcoin" is more popular in Japan than "ビットコイン". (Japanese Wikipedia uses "Bitcoin", for example.) That makes it a bit more difficult to graph just Japanese searches.

Someone is running a bot on BitStamp that buys exactly 1 BTC at the lowest ask price every minute. (If there is 1 BTC available, otherwise it buys whatever is there.)

Costs about $7700 to run that bot for an hour, let's see how much ammo it's got. Grin

There's been another big spike in searches, just look at that:

http://stats.grok.se/zh/latest90/%E6%AF%94%E7%89%B9%E5%B8%81

2x the previous all-time high! Something has happened today (Monday 20th). Anyone know what?

(Baidu and Google stats aren't available yet. Sourceforge downloads show an increase, but not as much as Wikipedia.)

Baidu still isn't updated with Monday's numbers.



However, Google Trends is now updated:

The main blockchain.info web site automatically switched to mBTC after I selected it in the Chrome extension, excellent!

Please do the same in the Android app, too. (Switch to mBTC.) Smiley

Looks like something was broadcast on CCTV again: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=208183.0

And it's having an effect:
