Somewhere around 2, I'm not sure. I don't have any use for it at all, but my electricity bill is included in my accomodation, so mining = free money for me. At some point I'll just sell it, a kind of emergency fund.

#32I don't own a single Bitcoin. The problem is that it's too volatile.
Problem. Ha.
Re: Poll: How many Bitcoins do you own?
#33In a couple of years it will be nearly impossible to own ONE single bitcoin for the majority of the population of the world.
Satoshis aplenty but bitcoins, fugget about it.

#34I wish I had looked more deeply into the protocol back when the 10k BTC pizza event had occurred.
Hindsight is 20-20.

#35I own ~2.4 (bought them for 10€) but I forgot the password to my encrypted wallet.

#36I think 0-10 is a too large a range. There's a big difference between having $10 worth (~0.07 BTC) and $1500 worth (~10 BTC). The first is what I have, which is basically play money. The latter is a more significant investment.
Exactly this. I have some nonzero amount when I mined for 1 afternoon. Technically I don't have zero but I shouldnt be in the same category as people with a thousand dollars worth. With that said.... I said I have zero in the poll.
I think I have .0005 left over in a wallet somewhere. I also said zero. Seeing all this loose change and no easy way to get it out of there I'm wondering if someone can suggest a charity who would accept the measly amounts but use the aggregate for good.

Yeah, completely agree!

And this is why you should keep a txt file with all your passwords uploaded to dropbox, trust me.

#400, I like the idea but I still haven't found a single reason to own one.
I don't currently own any. However I did pick up a Raspberry Pi recently, which made me a little interesting in the bit coin thing. I'm curious if a RPi cluster could (slowly) but efficiently (from a power consumption standpoint) mine.
I don't think the RPi could be much more than a status monitor for connected ASICs.
The Pi's CPU is capable of around 0.2MHashes/sec at 3.75W[0] whereas even a weedy USB ASIC such as the BitForce SC 5Gh/s is capable of 5,000MHashes/sec at 30W[1]
