Title: An Introduction to the Bitcoin System
Post by: PPA on March 19, 2017, 01:34:28 PM
This paper is a technical introduction to the Bitcoin system for developers with code snippets for Node.js.
I wrote it as a kind of tutorial: https://pascalpares.appspot.ovh/an-introduction-to-the-bitcoin-system/ (http://pascalpares.appspot.ovh/an-introduction-to-the-bitcoin-system/)

Have started the first few chapters, most of the information has been factual and correct thus far, will try to finish the book for a full review. Seems that you are using gitbook as the ui, how was your experience using gitbooks? Were you using the opensource or other plans?

I just had a look at the book and i must congratulate you, it is an amazing work, i believe that every cryptocurrency shall do the same, it is a clear, soft way to introduce bitcoin and all what how he works, in an easy to understand language, most of the bitcoin users are not familiar with c++, and don't use it all, great idea to give examples using javascript.

You can enhance the Peers section, there is a nodeJS module who communicates with peers and returns live data : p2p-manager

Gitbook fits with my needs. It is fast and reliable for reading. For edition, the use of markdown makes it sustainable. The support team is efficient.  

Were you using the opensource or other plans?
No plan. However there is no specific license on the article.

This is direct and precise, more importantly, it was written with the novice in mind and break everything down into pieces. I must say that you have done amazingly well
