So if you can provide us some information to approve your words - then do it. Otherwise all your words didn't make any sense.

If my words didn't make any sense, then it is clear why your quiz doesn't make any sense.

Good luck to you.  You perhaps need to learn a lot more before you try to make a quiz, so that you can at least have valid questions and correct answers in your quiz.

I don't mean that your words are useless, sorry for that misunderstanding. I just wanted to ask you to provide some information, that can prove that we were wrong  Smiley

I took the quiz once.  I found that several questions do not have valid answers as options:
...
That's 4 out of 15 questions (27%) that had either incorrect, or misleading answers.  I suggest you learn a bit more about bitcoin, and make more of an effort to put correct answers into your quiz to avoid confusing people who assume that one of the options must be correct for each question.

First of all, thanks for your reply and for the attention you pay to our project. I appreciate that.
I have to say that we've spend a lot of time on this project and we asked lots of people for advise. So if you can provide us some information to approve your words - then do it. Otherwise all your words didn't make any sense.
And secondly, even the simplest questions might be imperfect. Everyone have their own opinion about Bitcoin and every topic related to it. This is a problem that we met with. So that is the reason why we ask you to take this quiz easy and be more patient.

I took the quiz once.  I found that several questions do not have valid answers as options:

Q: What is the essence of ?

A:
  • Information changing for more than half of all Bitcoin transactions and impact on the entire system
  • Ownerwhip of the 51% of mined Bitcoin
  • Dual spending of the same bitcoins
  • Changing complexity on own discretion

First of all, the proper spelling is Ownership (not Ownerwhip).

Second of all, while an attacker with 51% of the total combined hashing power of the entire network can double spend only their own bitcoins, it is not necessary.  Someone with that much hashpower could do several other things to damage people's faith in the bitcoin network and discourage the mining and use of bitcoin.

Therefore, none of the options are "the essence".



Q: How much computing power is required to cover complexity 1 in the Bitcoin network?

A:
  • 6.67 Mh/s
  • 1 Mh/s
  • 64 kh/s
  • 4 Gh/s

The answers are all speeds.  I'm not sure what you mean when you say "complexity", but i assume you are talking about "difficulty"?  If so, then all 4 of those speeds are capable of mining a block at a difficulty of 1.  The faster the hashing speed, the faster that miner is likely to solve the block, so it is likely to take longer for 64 kh/s to successsfully solve the block than 4 Gh/s.



Q: When was the first market transaction made using Bitcoin?

A:
  • March 2011
  • December 2010
  • July 2010
  • April 2009

The most well known "first transaction" was the two pizzas purchased by laszlo on May 22, 2010.  May 2010 is not an option listed?  I assume you are asking when MtGox started operating as a bitcoin exchange?  In that case July 2010 would be the answer, but I certainly wouldn't consider that to be the "first market transaction".



Q: What does the Bitcoin mining represents by itself?

A:
  • All Bitcoins were created beforehand and are distributed between the users in strong proportion with their contribution to the network computing power
  • Bitcoins are awarded as a reward for decoding of transacted units, and their replenishment
  • Bitcoins are created by the mining companies
  • Bitcoin Foundation issues the reward for the usage of user's computing power

None of these answers are correct.  Bitcoins are not created beforehand. There are no transacted units that need to be "decoded". The Bitcoin Foundation is a private club that has no control over who successfully mines a block.

Mining companies are awarded bitcoins for successfully mined blocks.  While you could possibly say that they therefore "create" bitcoins, it is also possible for solo miners to successfully mine bitcoins.  Furthermore, I wouldn't say that mining "represents" creation by the mining companies.  Mining "represents" the proof-of-work that is used to achieve a distributed consensus about the ordering of transactions and secure the blockchain against manipulation by an attacker.  In exchange for this service, the protocol awards bitcoins to the miner that successfully mines a block.  This award is the sum of the block subsidy and all the transaction fees of all transactions included in the block.



That's 4 out of 15 questions (27%) that had either incorrect, or misleading answers.  I suggest you learn a bit more about bitcoin, and make more of an effort to put correct answers into your quiz to avoid confusing people who assume that one of the options must be correct for each question.

Fun quiz, some questions were confusingly worded (probably down to dodgy translation, I think the hashing speed question had an answer of "6ГX/s" ??) Embarrassed
Wow sorry, that's a mistake. Glad you tell about it

Been there

You are a seasoned sailor and surely have your farm and a certain fortune held in cryptocurrencies. However, remember, it's never too late to learn, and there is no doubt that you will find something interesting for yourself. Read here: BitcoinWiki
PS: It would be time for you to personally write or correct a couple of articles. This would be a great way to clean up your karma.

You have decided to deceive us by selecting most of the answers at random. Probably, you are too busy trading at the Bitcoin exchange, or solving problems concerning overheating at your farm? Otherwise, you clicked at random because you know nothing about cryptocurrency.

You are already familiar with the concept "cryptocurrency" and certainly heard the meaning of "mining" and "forks". It's high time you learn more and learn how to earn Bitcoins. Don't waste your time looking for a sensei. You will find all you need in yourself!

You rock)

We are going to add the button which will provide you an opportunity to see the right answers. So you'll see where you were wrong

Hello Friends!

Once again BitcoinWiki challenges your wits by welcoming you to take our cryptocurrencies quiz!

We proudly present version 2.0, and here are the changes:

  • We dropped the wiki engine specifically for purposes of quiz;
  • The collection, from which we randomly pick 15 questions to test your knowledge, has increased threefold;
  • We added the results page, where your prize "rank" and custom picture await you;
  • "Share" buttons have been added so that you can tell your friends about our project with one click of a mouse;

As usual, we encourage you to share results in the comment section, tell us what you liked and what you didn't like about the quiz and treat each other with respect.  Grin
