Title: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: Tyke on September 21, 2014, 10:34:29 AM CRYPTOCURRENCY "THE ALT-ERNATIVE" A BEGINNER'S REFERENCE (BOOK) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cryptocurrency-The-Alt-ernative-A-Beginners-Reference/285429871619708 Twitter: https://twitter.com/MrSilverCider For a few months I have been writing a book aimed at introducing beginners to cryptocurrency. Since March 2014, I have devoted much of my time towards researching a total of 41 coins (including Bitcoin). This book will also have other pages which define cryptocurrency terminlogy in a non-technical manner. Besides these, factual tables, statistics and more will be included. At the moment (03/10/2014) I have completed 37 coin sections with the following still incomplete: Feathercoin FTC Franko FRK Novacoin NVC Peercoin PPC Old Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483187.0 After the introduction, there are 20 sections based on the following topics: a) What is Cryptocurrency? b) Why does Cryptocurrency exist? c) Why are there so many "alt" coins? d) Is Cryptocurrency money? e) What is mining? f) The Blockchain g) Proof of Work and Proof of Stake h) The Wallet Client i) The Block Time j) The Block Reward k) What is a Pre-mine? l) Difficulty Re-targeting m) Scrypt, SHA-256 and others n) What is a 51% attack? o) Community p) Exchanges q) Coin Developers r) Purchasing Cryptocurrency s) Advertising/Marketing t) Anonymity These won't necessarily be it the above order Here is a list of all the coins that feature with the associated wallet address for anyone who would like to donate towards publication: Anoncoin: AVeZWZhcirLsAMokib4xW1K3gp3cEEGrRd Auroracoin: AWxnGDZRGfocA2DavHwdBkBkskSEk4XfdN Bitcoin: 1DXSGWvvK4tcHLzF3iXr8AG9Trxjedajhk Blackcoin: BPNq8NC4BRvyKnaz6SQKHwXq2yz6Cbcrpc Britcoin: B7CjPTjNiAqu8ssVYXvTX9RUkjo8U8JgU3 Colossuscoin: 1DXSGWvvK4tcHLzF3iXr8AG9Trxjedajhk Cryptogenic Bullion: 5o6x2zFPxJJ8YLJS5jCMVr7GHvpNMfPFV3 Diamond: dU8K16XNB8ag1bvN5p4vmc63tEWqobtU4C Digibyte: D8FwazAemow92sytzsynouaJWPXDZ9q6zq Digitalcoin: DL9Qmj4D22zYApUWq4jkeAKsF9pLBrbmAH Darkcoin: XdoMpS6wX63TVBma9EG53PG2VJnMnSPJ3d Dogecoin: DFUtWBobuunHixutMQg6RC4VgyxbCjsKFy Fastcoin: fzhZfh6n4jdt1mT99DsLqVrMvUriKWgoi8 Feathercoin: 6zchh7YiHZCjjUhbh3dwjnMSbFaZ8PbHTj Fedoracoin: EbjEBNmAX551trBgP9vJeEj9msohjcuvKd Franko: F6C49xF2xfqZUGQDNwD39BYv25BikqLHio Goldcoin: DyAaaLrZLbC3i8FjLjQtqWYWQtk4ZL2izA Hobonickels: Exe8wnqtA6y9kd1nrRg6Jx65NRZZ3btPWu Infinitecoin: iHyNV7FhoT544qiwrVXgw65fa6aoJgK6dG Kittehcoin: KPqpp9vKhj32q5vWrVLinnrUs2uB9Nakvx Leafcoin: fNcLkTKh45PaT7jpp7LJUEo7ooUQL5ceT2 Litecoin: LXasFmEHwvfyvb1DAYmtPXKEuGi6csEatS Lottocoin: Ly8V89bHwfCV93grsJamZoEseQwqpKykXz Maxcoin: 1DXSGWvvK4tcHLzF3iXr8AG9Trxjedajhk Mazacoin: MNKwkKX6y3eMwZssJndJmD5bnbhJbKo7oo Megacoin: MJcK6bf7UuD8ZGkWZxKk8UgTWHcmFHVfAz Mintcoin: 1DXSGWvvK4tcHLzF3iXr8AG9Trxjedajhk Mooncoin: 2THQ74iskgoTXSWEEZZ9R1tkFa9575aDhu Novacoin: 4Jwe9irSWiJ3sQMLxVApX6pYhffndxsE1E Nxt: 14081530087791934508 Peercoin: PPdMapGc4uBxUafofpvbgwqWgPWRfxW9FK Primecoin: AJjzXu6SDSH7oS2uM6NfJmHE8qyx5CJ2ts Quark: QQphDV4qXWcZzSib5GEzLP4LhBpyf8mYBU Qubit: 1DXSGWvvK4tcHLzF3iXr8AG9Trxjedajhk Reddcoin: RcKcF8LcaHiCNr3yhPawaVJ4JujUX8426s SaturncoinV2: ScdXipVvcXCuZFbEr496U2J75oyjcb1ZWk Tagcoin: TYKjp2dqVUybyQSRL2VNXN3nquWgsf4LtS Topcoin2: 1DXSGWvvK4tcHLzF3iXr8AG9Trxjedajhk Ultracoin: UeCnPrfaUJBRCi6125VpvCQJ3Mn8hvbbs1 Worldcoin: WR7btpVfet3e5ioLLNFRx4dzR5k4YDmXY8 Zetacoin: ZaSz7txCRL2KnzZmFQT7NZkNAL33Qj4ih8 Title: Re: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: kotwica666 on September 21, 2014, 01:00:04 PM Check this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=679134.0

I myself am creating a Crypto Guide, mainly focused on a few upcoming cryptos I am looking at delivering it free across the area I live in then through the UK via supermarkets / shops etc.
I like the look of your guide does it cover the fundamentals of mining, exchanges, wallet security etc? Or is it just based on the cryptos themselves?

Or is it just based on the cryptos themselves? I am based in the UK. It covers the basics of what mining is in a non-technical sense. It defines terms such as block reward, block time, mining algorithm and so on. Basically, it is just an introductory text for beginners with 41 coins included. Title: Re: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: Tyke on September 25, 2014, 06:26:56 PM I have now printed out 22/41 coin sections. It is great to see everything coming together ;D

also I can give you a better logo - follow these they are hosted on Imjur and are png so should scale ok. https://i.imgur.com/xFIKn7O.png?1 https://i.imgur.com/Kd63uXC.png?2 https://i.imgur.com/2pCPa5P.png?1 Title: Re: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: digitalindustry on October 01, 2014, 05:51:18 AM Tyke are you on Twitter ?- how are you selling this?
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: digitalindustry on October 01, 2014, 06:06:56 AM Can i suggest for the cover colour say "gun metal grey" (or like) instead of bright red?
colour matters to humans, so red says - "i'm really desperate for you to buy me I'm in a $2 shop" and Grey says: "this is a book with information in it" try it out and display the results.

Title: Re: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: pozmu on April 02, 2015, 02:00:58 PM Ehmmm, it seems you only included coins that donated for your book, is that right? Because I see that you ommited at least major coin that was available in 2014, don't ask me which one, you should know it if you're writing books about crypto currencies... I'm also curious how up-to-date information in paper book can be?

I'm also curious how up-to-date information in paper book can be? No that is not true. I held a vote for the community to choose which coins they wanted. Please elaborate on which coin/coins were omitted? Title: Re: Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative"A Beginners Reference Book Post by: lopez cryptomania on March 13, 2018, 08:36:34 PM This is awesome for newbies in the altcoin world. I believe in this ICO bc they are aiming to make crypto easier to enter with their novice friendly UI and the first ever arbitrage exchange that will allow for less market volatility which keeps so many inexperienced and afraid people on the sidelines. Arbitrage will provide a better way to profit on any coin.
