Done, it was an interesting survey to do Smiley
And yeah the question 'What kind of wallet do you use" should have had the option to choose multiple answers.

Indeed, but I can't make any changes now...

why not? do you get some problems about setting? or any cases?

I think if you don't correct it right now, your survey will not be perfect at all, or are you going to make another survey for that question?

You can't just make changes on the fly, that would render all the collected data useless...

It was a great survey, I would love to see the results. Multiple options would have also helped in some cases but you should get a accurate result from these questions. And I wish you best of luck Smiley

ok, i filled it out, hope you get the data you need.

one thing though, since you are studying criminal justice, you should consider this;

you should mention something about ponzis and other fraudulent investments. many lose btc to these, and due to the unregulated nature of the btc network, this may continue to be a threat for a long time. I realize people lose fiat the same way all the time, but the relative anonymity and irreversibility of btc transactions make these scams particularly attractive when done using btc. Its a HUGE security concern, just like in the old fashioned fiat world... maybe worse here in btc-land

Yes, I've got a whole section on criminal activity in the theoretical part of my study...

How many respondents do you have at this moment? How many respondents do you think you need to be able to generalize the results?

You should take care of the validity of your research though; I'm not sure where you are collecting the respondents, but if all your data comes from Bitcointalk.org users, this has negative effects on your validity. (I can imagine that Bitcointalk.org members for example use their PC quite often and therefore have software wallets (and know how to use USB-sticks for back ups etcetera. There might also be people with less knowledge of PC's which only have a hardware wallet or a mobile Phone to make use of their bitcoins. The latter group is not yet involved in your research).

I have about 70 completely finished surveys (although about 200 respondents started the survey, they didn't answer all the questions), but I want at the very least 100 respondents. I have this survey on various bitcoin forums so validity isn't the problem.

And btw... mobile wallets are still software wallets Smiley

Can you share some preliminary results yet? Would be very interesting to see!

Also nice to know if older users use different wallets etc.

I am afraid there is not enough data yet, to make any conclusions...

You might change the radio button to check box on this question ► What type of bitcoin wallets do you use
Because, i'm using all wallets  except hardware wallets.
Done Smiley

But, i think you should fix this one.

There are many bitcoiner who have more than one type of bitcoin wallet, so i think you should let them choose more than one.

I know, its a mistake. For now just list all the different wallets that you use under the option "other".

To je napaka, ja, zaenkrat kar pod "drugo" naštejte vse vrste denarnic, ki jih uporabljate.

I knew bitcoin way back 2010, I just don't have the initiative to study about it back then. If I was the same as you, I would be a millionaire by now. :v

Okay going back to your survey, I have answered it accordingly. Too bad the study will be written in Slovene which I do not know. What is the scope of your study? Focused only on the security and safety, or does it cover other topics as well?

It is focused on the safety of the system itself, potential attacks on the network and the use of bitcoins as a preffered way of payment in deep web black markets.

Completed.

I look forward to reading your conclusions based on this study, so please post a link in the future!

Unfortunately it's going to be written in slovenian language... but I will upload the excel file with the results.

Do you own BTCSmiley

Not anymore. I sold everything in the end of 2013, when the prices spiked up to 1000$ per bitcoin. I started mining back in the days when even CPU mining was still profitable. Made quite a lot of money.

Hello

My name is Nejc and I am a student of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor, Slovenia. As part of my thesis entitled “The Safety of the Bitcoin Cryptocurrency” I want to gather information on the safety awareness of bitcoin users. Your answers are crucial to the implementation of my study.

The survey is anonymous, it contains 20 questions, and answering them will take you 5 minutes at the most.

Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.

I had completed your questionnaire. Congratulation for your work and for the choice. Hope that you will find good answers from your work and this can be evaluated by your professors. Hope then that you will have the maximum of votes for your thesis. Bitcoin deserves this.

Thanks man.

done! Cheesy you should be including the possibility to add several answers on the question where it asks what kinds of wallets do we use

Yes, that's a mistake. For now just list all the types of wallets you use under the "other" option.

Will we get to see the results? There are many surveys and research things that go on in this forum and not many share the results. Please share the results with us.

Yes, I can upload the excel file when I export the results.

Hello

My name is Nejc and I am a student of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security

Very interesting is it a dual major with criminal justice, and another with security? Or is it two different majors.

Best of luck with survey.

Thats just the name of faculty, I actually specialize in corporate security.
