Title: Researchers out there?
Post by: arnuschky on December 28, 2012, 06:38:14 PM
Hey,

we're looking into researching the Bitcom economy. Are there other researchers and groups out there that you know of? What are the most relevant academic publications on the topic? It seems to be very hard to get a hold of reliable information.

Cheers,
Arnsuchky

Feel free to get in touch if your looking for any research papers on the technical workings of BTC. I have a few and I am in the process of writing one myself.
