Title: Writing "The Complete Guild To Bitcoin Mining" Free ebook - Looking for help
Post by: shakaru on August 07, 2011, 02:33:36 AM
Hello all. For those of you who don't know me. I am Shakaru. I have been a member here for a long time and a bitcoin miner from 2010. In my experiences, I have found that there is a large amount of misinformation regarding configuration, setup and even hardware requirements. So I have decided that I want to return to the bitcoin community by giving it the gift of a well researched and published ebook that explains not just what to do, but why. Explaining how PCIe bandwidth is distributed on both newer and older chipsets, or how to build a dual psu. Things of this nature that I see being asked all the time with one right answer in a flood of wrong ones.
If you feel that you would like to contribute, please reply in this post with your field of expertise in the bitcoin world along with sending me a PM with other contact information such as IM names, ect. Depending on the response, I will start up a online brainstorm session around this time next week so we can formally plan an outline and delegate chapters.
I hope to hear from everyone who has something to offer and feels like they should give back a bit for all that bitcoin has given us. Thank you.

Most advice will cost you and perpetual CPU errors are a bitch... That's about all I have to contribute (aka nothing).

More seriously, good idea.
