I have already started to write four new books.  These are the introductions and full histories of Darkcoin, Dogecoin, Peercoin and Reddcoin.  They will be published just before their respective coin anniversaries.

I wonder how many coins does this book list, and what kind of coins are listed, that end up as scams on the forum .

It is upto the reader to decide which coins are legitimate or not.  I have documented a total of 38 coins as well as including prior pages discussing terminology such as the blockchain and mining. 

It is the first book of its kind based on a multitude of cryptocurrencies.

If you have anymore questions, please let me know :)

I have begun to write four new smaller book, each based on single coins.  Here is the preliminary Peercoin front cover

I will write about and document three years of Peercoin upto August 2015.  The book will be released in the same month to coincide with the coin's three year anniversary. 

Books on Dogecoin, Darkcoin and Reddcoin are also in progress.
