Topic: Facebook group to estimate number of Bitcoin users (Read 2800 times)
change ip?
I don't know if this is allowed here, if not I'm sorry for it, just delete the thread.
Anyway, as I'm really curious on how many Bitcoin users are out there and it seems there's no reliable way to estimate it at the moment, I thought this could be a good try.
Quick, easy and inexpensive.
Just ask for subscription, spread the word, and let's see how many will join.

Also, remember: the more we are, the more reputation Bitcoin gains... so it's in our interest to manage to make this estimate.

there is already btc talk that give a good approx.
actually the users are: 525800
30% are clone and you don' have to count et voilà here there is the Bitcoin Users Number (approx)
If you think the whole world likes forums and waste time over them you are SO wrong, man.
no absolute, but a good part of people involved in bitcoin are here.
it's so hard estimate a number like this.
Probably you have to multiply for 3 4 times to get the real number of users, but instead of a like in a facebook page it's a better way...
(Eg, I will not click in any page because become the classic spam-bitcoin-related-page. And I hate this...)
How can you estimate the number of bitcoin users via Facebook? There are so many people who have over 1000 FB accounts and the count cannot be considered a valid one. Even polls and surveys are manipulated due to multiple entries by single users.
Each and every method will not give an exact number.
It's just a try.
True that but if there was a method to log in each IP adress and where proxies wouldn't be allowed, that number would give a better and more accurate number rather than FB accounts IMHO (although there could be exceptions).
There surely are better methods, like in example if every node would compile a database of IP addresses we would probably have a very precise estimate of the number of Bitcoin users.
But that needs work from the Bitconi developers, I do what I can, and this is just a try.

thanks for the invite I guess. I don't think this wold be bad to just join a group of people that supports bitcoin. I think it will diversify our bitcoin community.
This will be a pretty stupid move to join the forum, Facebook could track you down very easily if you want to remain anonymous then don't join it.
Actually the number of people doesn't matter. all we need is people using it and the market reflect how many users are there. And these wont reflect the real numbers too
There is just no way to estimate it accurately. As bitcoin is created for anonymity. And many people wont show up on these forums.

Bitcoin is created to fuck banks and stop slavery.
Anonymity is a collateral feature that HAD to be implemented.
On top of that, people would only know that you have some Bitcoin. So?
And on top of the top of that, NSA KNOWS you have something to do with Bitcoin when you launch your wallet and connect to a node
They control each and every connection, so they see from home at n.XX Dumb Street, where Genius Guy lives, somebody just opened a Bitcoin wallet, because you communicated with a Bitcoin node.

Your best bet, is to ask exchanges adhering to the KYC/AML regulations to post their totals on the forum. Duplication and sock puppets are then eliminated and you would get some clear totals of Bitcoin users per country. I have seen some totals being quoted within articles, but I do not know how accurate and updated they are.
I have 5 Facebook accounts, and I will join with 3 of them, just to inflate your totals a bit, how does that sound?

This is my biggest fear with something like this. People can intentionally mess up the stats. And I can imagine some people don't want to link their real identity to bitcoin yet.
For one like him, we probably have 3 that won't join in fear of privacy.
Voilà: equilibrium!

That would just look a bit stupid.
As the large majority of people just makes one FB account and is not polemic by nature
Number of users in this forum? Not good anyway.
Lot of people don't like forums at all, they may use Bitcoin but not register here.
Users of this forum are an underestimation of actual userbase.

Underestimate? You have no clue about the number of alts / sock puppet accounts in this forum.
I personally won't be comfortable using my real world identity to join this facebook group.
Seems like you don't want to understand.
This forum users do not represent ALL the Bitcoin users AT ALL.
And I posted earlier up why, if you are curious.
i hope you receive the attention and satisfaction you seem to desperately desire. sad to say i will not be joining your facebook bitcoin group.
Ba dum... tss?

Facebook group just to estimate number of Bitcoin users is not the best idea, since people won't be interested in such purely statistical thing.
The best way to monitor growth of bitcoin users imho is by observing the number of wallets instead; even tho it's not accurate, it gets you the base idea on
just how much trend bitcoin community is having.
cheers

FB may not be the best choice, but wallets are surely worse, I explained before why.
On pc I downloaded and installed at least 5 different wallets.
As webwallets, I registered in many, maybe 10 or 15, just to see the interface and services offered.
On my smartphone I tried 5 wallets.
So it's easy to see that a single user can have have so many wallets.

On the other side, there's plenty people that just live and see Bitcoin just a good method of payment to remain anonymous.
All this mania you get to not show that you use Bitcoin... if find it ridiculous.
NSA will know you use Bitcoin the moment you open your wallet on your pc and connect to the net.
And I'm tired of this dispute about the initiative.
Who wants to join, welcome.
The others, you will be out of the group!
