Topic: What continent are you from? - page 4. (Read 3085 times)
From Asia here, so it looks like people from north america and this continent is leading the poll. Nice to see more asians getting active in this forum.
Surprised a bit at the diversity. Apparently not many Africans though.
I don't understand the purpose of this. What does knowing the continent tell you?
Before I vote, Europe, Asia and North American was tie. Now Asia is leading! I'm from Asia too!

EDIT: I could not figure out how to get that pie chart pasted in here, but here are some recent stats re hashing power, these figures are very similar to the ones I mentioned in a separate thread a few days ago:
AntMiner: 18% China
F2Pool: 15% "
BTCChina Pool: 10% "
BW.COM: 10% "
KnCMiner: 6% Sweden
GHash.IO: 4% UK? Slovakia? Ukraine? (Comment: remember when GHash.IO briefly had 51%?)
BTCGuild: 3% ?
Slush: 3% Czech Republic
There is a separate column for "Unknowns". You can search Google and find out the country, or at least where they report from. IIRC, "5.9.xxx.xxx" is Germany and "82.221.xx.xx" is Iceland.
Correct me where wrong!

you also forgot Central America
Isn't that a region?
It is a region and Central America (from the isthmus of Panama north) is part of North America. Great question, thanks for your participation.

That was a nice idea you came up with, asking bitcointalkers where they come from. It will be interesting to see how well (or not) those who respond to you come from vs., say, hashing power (blockchain.info's mining pool stats).
N. America!

Hey, that's a great idea. Let's compare the location of hashing power to this poll. Where do we find the hashing power source info on blockchain...is it relatively easy for me to find?

I am from the same distant planet as Satoshi. In order to protect his identity, I am not allowed to reveal the location or name of our home world. 
I will ask the admins and moderators of this forums to track your IP.. And we shall reveal who is Satoshi.. LoL! - just kidding.
If I had to guess, I'd guess China. China has a LOT of people. Chinese people are all over these boards!
That might be true, but there is no way that many of them will come to this thread
yes so Asia will dominate this thread
you also forgot Central America

I'm from South East Asia. I always thought that North America use Bitcoin more than Europe and it seem like I'm wrong.. or maybe North American dont like to use forums?

@Possum577 Thanks, you even went for the option that includes most of the places left out .
One day I am going to find the guy who teaches this stuff in school and point out that there are 4.5 million angry kiwi's after him.

Coming from New Zealand I seem to be left out of your poll.
Sorry mate, I'll make an edit to include Oceania (for Australia, NZ, and pacific islands).
I love New Zealand (only been once but it was fantastic). Very sorry to keep you out, thanks for calling me out.
I swear. The moment someone says, "I'm from Antarctica" I am flipping fucking tables.
If antarctica was there I would probably pick it since New Zealand is close and not in any of the available options

I'll spare you the effort, since I'm from Daedelia Planum (a "continent" on Mars).
Pffft, that's nothing. I'm from zz9 plural z alpha! You probably haven't heard of it, it's soooo underground and hipster and cool. Just like I am cool because I know what zz9 plural z alpha means.
