Topic: So, what does a bitcoin WEIGH? (Read 5385 times)
Im gonna have to say that markie mark weighs about 250, 260
wish you said it earlier... 64 of the light bulb just burned... I lost my key ! 
If I am storing my bitcoin key on 256 light bulb.
Given a lightbulb weight 10 gram, my key weight is 2kg 560g.
Given that my key store 0.05 bitcoin, it makes around 51 kg by BTC.
But I can influence the weight of a bitcoin by storing more on my key, or using lighter light bulb.
I think it is about time for you to switch to LEDs. Given a lightbulb weight 10 gram, my key weight is 2kg 560g.
Given that my key store 0.05 bitcoin, it makes around 51 kg by BTC.
But I can influence the weight of a bitcoin by storing more on my key, or using lighter light bulb.

It's simple to calculate...
The net difference is 0 because data isn't stored as an electrical charge. The data is stored by the orientation of a magnetic coating on the surface of the disk. When the head energizes it simply acts as an electromagnet and changes the magnetic orientation on the face of the platter... A binary 1 is observed when the positive pole is facing the head and a 0 is when the negative pole is facing the head.
So the weight and mass of a Bitcoin is 0.

Materialists don't believe in anything non-physical. They'll find some underhanded way of discrediting your logic. Failing that they'll resort to ad-hoc personal attacks.

actually, since every node contains a copy of the block chain, you should multiply the weight by the number of nodes.
Probably impossible to calculate.
Admittedly, this is almost certainly the case.
Expect more topics of me thinking too much. 
Okay. My bitcoins and altcoins all fit in one small USB flash drive. That's light.
They also fit in a single sheet of paper sealed in an envelope. That's about close to similar weight.
Of course, I've got the private keys etched or carved on to some stainless steel sheet, that's pretty heavy.
This one is pretty heavy, being that it's tungsten.
Early last year, someone engraved a private key in WIF (wallet import format) on a tungsten block.

The bank can burn down around it and it will still be readable.

Infinity.
Bitcoin exists only digitally, much like the Internet. Could you weigh the Internet?
It's not physical or in any liquid or gaseous state. So it weighs infinity, just like the Internet.

OP you think too much
How much energy was used to create this thread? Can we ever get it back?
Unfortunately its a non-refundable product unless you control time and space
Looks like this is a job for the Doctor.
Nice quick lets go get the Tardis ^_^
So what you are saying is that people should definitely not delete Bitcoin in order to make the laptop lighter?

I'd like to cut your head off, so I can weigh it, what'd you say?
5lbs? 6lbs? 7lbs?

The answer to your second question is yes. Every point in space and time can be calculated. If you can calculate enough points within a given volume of space you can reproduce a any moment in time.
Just calculate the space this server rack occupied before OP asked his question and there you go, Bob's your uncle. This same technique could also be used to recover the empty gox server rack; it would still be empty though...
It weigh 630 USD now
