This is only for 7 days so it isn't that interesting.  I'll post the one for 30 days later.

AFAIK I would have to gather this data myself.  I don't think they provide historical lag data.

Since I like playing with numbers, here is some data I put together using the Mt. Gox API.

I looked at the first trade of every hour and compared it to the previous hour. Then for each hour of the day I added that to the hours total.

So if everyday at 1AM CST you bought coin and sold it back at 2AM CST, over the week you would have made $10.10.

I wouldn't recommend using this to try to make money, but I'm interested in feedback.  I already realized it is a little confusing because at first glance you might think over the 2:00 hour it went up 10, but that actually happened from 1AM-2AM.

Hours in CST.  0 is midnight.  Enjoy.

Are you a bitcoin miner who got cancer from fumes while mining bitcoins?  Better call Saul 505-165-CALL.

Seems ok to me.  2.5 btc is worth $184 right now.

If we had an estimate of the number of copies of blockchains in existence, we could compute the weight.  See:

http://superuser.com/questions/11423/how-much-does-a-gigabyte-weigh-on-a-hard-disk

So for example, if 1GB is ~1 microgram, then a single blockchain would be 6.3 micrograms.

6.3 * 158,730 = 1,000,000.  So 158,730 blockchains would equal 1 gram.

edit: spel goode

If you look at Mt. Gox or VirCurEx then you will see there is a sell price and a buy price.  The sell price is what people will buy them FROM you.  The buy price is what it will cost FOR you to buy them.  There is a gap between these two numbers.

There is a limited number of coins at each price.  So if the minimum buy price is $200 and I buy all the coins that were priced at $200, the price will go up to $201 (or whatever the lowest buy price is).

If no one is buying at the $200 price, eventually someone will try to sell at a lower buy price.

The network tries to mine 2016 bitcoins per 2 weeks.  If the 2016th block is mined before the end of 2 weeks, the difficulty will go up and it will be harder to mine.  The network corrects itself.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think Litecoin CPU mining can be profitable.

Just a little fun.  Suprised it created so much discussion.  Follow up.

Came across a comic that I could modify to pretty perfectly cover the reaction to the last comic I posted.

Try the Konami code.

I really like those political/economic cartoons edited for crpytocurrencies.  Here is my contribution.

Err...maybe it should be Lytcoin?  (lit-coin)

No I mean Lytecoin.  If a Bitcoin spinoff is Bytecoin, a Litecoin spinoff should be Lytecoin.

I'm in for Lytecoin

Sorry I didn't know you were looking for a high scale, lives on the 102nd floor type of crack dealer.
