I'd be interested in a course with a bit more math. One similar to the cryptology course on coursera but focusing on bitcoin. By the end of the course I would want to be able to code my own coin.

Definitely worth the $10 you were initially charging, judging from watching about 45 minutes of a few lectures.  Great intro. Appropriate depth. Strong work.

I'll eventually charge for it again. But right now my focus is on getting as much feedback as possible from the community to make this course perfect. I am so tired of the media and people online due to ignorance claiming the bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. We need something to hit back with for the mainstream.

Once I charge for the course. I'll be donating 10% of the proceeds to the Bitcoin foundation in Bitcoins. I'll publish the donation logs in the course supplemental material section.

It needs none of that. But, if you're lazy, that's the easiest thing to do. It's what I did. I'm lazy.

Yes, that is why you never enter that info into Facebook to begin with so there I no issue about clicking through.
I have friends. I'm too lazy to make a shadow account. I'm a busy fella. I don't always need great privacy.
