Title: Free eBook on Amazon Bitcoin Step by Step
Post by: mjc on November 30, 2012, 12:59:03 AM
In honor of Block 210,000 being found I made my eBook free for today (11/29).  It's normally not that expensive ($3.99).  It's geared to the newbie that wants to learn how to set up a secure wallet, how to fund your account.  There seems to be a lot of people taking advantage of it.  I hope you all can too.  Follow me on Twitter @BitcoinSbS to listen for future free day announcements.  Also, check out my blog for more Bitcoin related information.

Regarding using your own "wallet". If you want to go this route, take his advice and get it downloaded and started early. The entire process can take 24 hours and suck the life out of a 4 processor computer.  ;)
