Can there be a club if you have over 210?

I don't know if the str4wm4n club (or would that be strawman club?) would sound quite as cool. Although seeing as how it's a bit less exclusive maybe that's OK.

Can the club for people with 21+ be 'Le Happy Merchant' club?

More like "Fruity Loops Club".

oh oh! i'm in this one!

for the moment.

How many do you think are eligible for the club today? I would think it is far less than 5000 individuals, maybe closer to 500.. Undecided

I think it is just about 300 members. And no, I am not in The Club.

yeah right Grin

I heard TradeHill organized a "VIP&wannabe-snubs" party at the conference.
I wonder whether anyone from this forum had the time to go and crash it? Cheesy

I'll keep dollar cost averaging until things get too rich for my taste (a long ways from the $10.65 it is right now).

If you bought into the club at the time of the OP's post, it would cost you $22,365. Those coins would have a value, today, of approximately* $256,410.

Net gain of $234,045. Not a bad return for the time involved.

*As selling 2100 bitcoin at once would drop the value a little.

Jeez, you had to rub it in didn't you. Please don't bump this if BTC hits $476.19...

I've given up on ever joining the club. But maybe someday there will be a flaw in the crypto and we can mint all the BTC we want.

Oh and Bow, why'd you have to Godwinize us? Yeah, I know it's Vladimir's fault for writing that script.

I was at 2200 or so but sold 350 at $119.99. Damn bulls have trampled all over my short selling dream!

so, are you living off your btc in blissful retirement, or what? Cheesy

Well I have had other real world businesses that paid off my mortgage and bought me some rentals. I also have the bots you see in my signature. Bitcoin is a hobby project - I hoped to make a daytrading bot. The fact that I suck at timing the market has put a blight on the project but I'm still keen on getting it to work.

Strange thought. So what if there is only 1000, 500 or 100 richer than you - - What kind of thoughts does this bring into you?

Very sad. First is the way to go. Cheesy

Plot twist: Most of those addresses are part of one wallet.dat file.

...with private key irreversibly lost a year ago

proof?

protip: only coins in an address which has never spent coins (thereby revealing its public key) can be irreversibly lost. The rest of the coins (those in addresses whose public keys have been revealed) will be trivially claimed by the first Quantum Computers.

Quote from: Pieter Wuille on August 22, 2011, 06:41:49 AM

Assuming QC "suddenly" appears, and ECDSA is instantaneously crackable using Shor's algorithm, and SHA256/RIPEMD160 become vulnerable to Grover's algorithm:

Every unspent coin, sent to an address whose pubkey is not yet revealed, is somewhat safe (80 bit security left, instead of 160 bit)
The block chain is quite safe (128 bit security left, instead of 256 bit)
Transactions to new quantum-computing-based addresses with corresponding keys, are safe
... only unspent coins sent to reused addresses will be trivially claimable by any attacker (a few bits of security left, instead of 128 bit)

protip: private keys can be bruteforced if you're the luckiest man on earth

surely can't be more than 10000.

Another guesstimation I just did puts the upper bound at ~611 members conservatively: satoshi: 1 million, 2 guys 500k, 4 guys: 250k, 8 guys: 125k and so on.

I'm guessing it's around 300 people in that club max. Tendency: decreasing.

I find myself secretly hoping that the Bitcoin wealth is very concentrated so that there are not many people with more coins than me

Hey, I know its irrational. Generally speaking, people prefer being relatively wealthy compared to absolutely wealthy. There's a psychology experiment that shows that people would rather be in the position of earning $50k when those around them earn $30k compared to earning $60k when those around them earn $80k.

The more the wealth is concentrated, the more people I am relatively wealthier than. It's not a pleasant thought, it's not a worthy thought, but it is sometimes there, all the same.

Edit: And I'm not the only one who has had unworthy thoughts about his position on a rich list Wink
