Title: Coursera.org - Princeton University - Bitcoin
Post by: OmegaStarScream on August 24, 2015, 08:51:35 AM
I just wanted to let you know guys that there is an awesome course that will start on the first september and I thought you should check it out and take it , you will finally get a certificate signed from the university when you finish and pass exam (if there is any) or you can get it by scholarship if you don't have money .

Or you maybe should give it to your friend who don't have much knowledge on this area ;D  
This is the link : https://www.coursera.org/course/bitcointech

Will they accept payments in bitcoin for the certificate (if any)? ;D

Sounds interesting, I think I will finally use Coursera again (I registered to take the machine learning course, Mr. Ng was a really good professor).

Honestly I don't really know , once I was taking some negociation skills and some crap , and when I had to pay I asked for scholarship and they gave it to me without issues .

This course should be compulsory for every newbie who joins this forum - it would decrease the vast amounts of stupid posts on these boards!

Even older users could benefit from this course, it looks like an interesting learning opportunity.

Just enrolled, I hope that in the activities we are not required to download the core, my laptop has not enough free HD.


Yeah, for passing grade you have to download entire blockchain & then send 1 BTC to professor...  LOL  ;)

It does look interesting. I don't have the time to take the course formally, but would love the materials and video lectures to watch in my spare time.
