I think in the beginning they actually had made real coins with the B on them...
No shit?? That's cool

Here is a good guy to deal with if you want to buy or sell your coins. Private and a good guy. I have done business with him.

Bitcoin tumbles after China crackdown
The price of a Bitcoin slumped Wednesday after China's largest exchange for the virtual currency said it would stop accepting deposits in yuan ? China's local currency.
The much-ballyhooed Bitcoin currency has lost more than half its value since hitting records above $1,100 at the end of November. On Wednesday, the price of a Bitcoin fell 18% to $558 and traded as low as $422.50 earlier in the day, according to an index run by CoinDesk, a website focused on digital currencies.

Id say thisbis a short term blip in the big picture. There not shutting this thing down any time soon. People see real value in this. Mostly because governments cant create more of it.

I'm having trouble understanding how and where a 'bitcoin' is created in the virtual universe.
How is a bitcoin mined? I feel like I understand business and finance, but I'm lost here.

Where is real money made? In the mind! Thats where...

Click on my link in the first post. Pretty much breaks everything down brother!

I read through most of the site. I understand how bitcoins are used as a currency. But I don't understand where they come from or how they are created.
I understand that I can obtain bc by accepting them or paying for or exchanging for them. But what if I want to create or mine my own. How does this happen? I know there are mining machines and mining pools, but where do they come from? How are they mined from the cyber-universe?
lol, I want in. I want some bc. Only, I don't want to buy them, I want to be the one issuing them or collecting a fee on the exchange.
it seems it fluctuates in value so much and fast it's going to be hard keeping at viable currency.

I think this is a "bandwagon" situation. When something new is introduced to the market it is met with resistance. . Then yoy have early adoptors. Then influencers. When they get onboard the masses start jumping on and you get crazy runups. Like what happened recently. It will calm down once the speculators get off the cart.

so basically "mining" is the process of a computer (or more commonly now, multiple computers aka mining pools) creating and solving increasingly difficult math algorithms.
the entire bitcoin infrastructure basically is nothing more than letters and numbers in very complex math equations. everytime a bitcoin transaction takes place it is added into that equation, and verified by other computers and users.
bitcoins are rewarded to miners under an equation equating out to the efficiency of which the miners computer is able to create and solve those math algorithms, and confirm purchases made by other users.
it used to be 1 computer with a powerful processor and video card could mine several coins per day. but now that the bitcoin community has grown so exponentially, the equations being created and solved and the number of transactions being confirmed requires way more computing power than any one or 2 computers can provide.. at least wih any productivity or profit that is.
there are sites u can buy dedicated mining computers from, if you want to mine your own coins. but by yourself only expect to be harvesting .00000000000001 coins per day or sometjing crazy like that. joining a mining pool or investing in several super computers is a more lucrative approach.
dont quote me on the specifics, but i just tried giving u a general picture of the bitcoin experience. feel free to ask me any questions u might have
bitcoins are not as anonymous as people think, once the money is "spent" then a trail begins starting with an IP address. I believe there are some tools available to brink the link.
Good time to buy or run for the hills??
I like the idea, it's very intriguing and has lots of potential. But there also appears to be a lot of risk.
The issue I'm struggling with is the originating supply. From what I understand, the person or group 'Satoshi Nakamoto' created this system and decided to only release 21 mil bitcoins. If what I've read is correct, about 12 mil have been mined, released or created thus far.
All of this is fine. But I don't like that I don't know who this guy or group is. Supposedly he holds over 1 mil bitcoins. What stops this guy/group from releasing 21 Billion bitcoins instead of 21 million. What stops him from cashing out with in insane amount of money after this takes off and crashes the market, or the market is later proven to be diluted.
The above makes this very risky and volatile.
Is there some sort of central computer system or massive pool of bitcoin servers that everyone (and their mining computers) are connecting or interacting with? I mean, for anything to be connected with or transferred to/from remotely is has to exist somewhere for the system/users/miners/etc to access.
What happens when this system crashes and there are no records or trails to point to or prove ones ownership of said bitcoins that now seemingly don't exist, can't be verified or are invisible. I understand that you can safely store bitcoins offline in a digital wallet. But without a system to interact with and verify coins, they don't exist.
So it seems there would HAVE to be some primary or centralized equipment involved here. AND, if there are guys smart enough to design this system, they're certainly smart enough to mess with, crash, or corrupt it.
Once again, I'm interested in bitcoins, but still need a better 'virtual' grasp.
