Looking forward to it.

There's also an open collection of the data here (http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org) Satoshi left us with. It'd be nice to have a more open book on the topic though, good luck.

Yep, as well as all the forum posts that are available publicly to us right now. It'd be good though if a more in depth research project can be carried out, to make Satoshi more well known, and perhaps explore some subjects that hasn't been yet. Good luck with your project.

Especially if this book will contain information which wasn't mentioned in previous works and which is pretty reliable at the same time. Good luck with your project!
Title: Re: Tracing Satoshi's Steps : A book Post by: cryptor0th on May 08, 2016, 10:13:23 AM Thanks for the input and interest guys. I have bought the book (the book of satoshi and begun going through it).
A common theme, I find across books related to Bitcoin is the author's individual explanation on what Bitcoin is. I will try to avoid doing the same and probably quote from other , better explanations instead of repeating things. What I intend for the book to be is a representation of the core beliefs and practices Satoshi left us with. While a lot of work has gone into figuring out who he is - there's little insights into what he represented or the tenets on which he built Bitcoin. The project will only be the beginning of what I intend to build upon as a series of books. Why am I crowd-sourcing this ? I believe, Bitcoin is what it is, purely because of the community that surrounds it. To write a book behind closed doors on its evolution and initial roots would be the equivalent of running a concert in a closed room. By permitting others to be a part of the creative process and research, I am expanding or even better, compounding the collective intellectual capital that is available here. By no means am I looking to take individual credit for the book. Connect with me on twitter @ cryptor0th. :) |
