A Complete Guide to Physical Bitcoins - General discussion + crowdfunder

[elianite]

EDITED July 6th 2015

After some deliberation, I have changed plans slightly.

As of now, I do not intend to post the entire book on-line for free.

I will be selling a small batch of pre-ordered physical copies, and some time after publication, I will offer the eBook version on Amazon and potentially other sites including my own (www.coinfirm.org). I have not yet determined the price at which these will sell. The book will have its own ISBN number, and be in all ways a legitimate, self published work.

Also, I will be cutting out 'ads' from the book. No more ads; this is a professional, specialized publication and not some magazine. If you would like to be a big-ticket sponsor, contact me as I may be able to offer a sponsorship to one single company.

I will, however be adding a coin information source and gallery to my website, but this will not come any-time soon. The reason for this change is twofold. Firstly, a website is a better medium to present the information. Secondly, this project has grown to be a much larger undertaking then originally planned; from a casual 'industry directory/magazine' type book a serious, academic work.

Perfect Bound, full color, shipping included*, signed, and numbered (up to 100 maximum) physical copies remain for sale as a pre-order at the price of 70 GBP.  Contact me to make a pre-order, or do so at https://www.startjoin.com/CoinFIRM2

There are NO plans to sell physical copies after publication, so this may be your only chance.

I'd be curious to see where this went/goes.  You should start a Kickstarter campaign for this, it seems like an interesting idea.

I have just launched a crowd-funder for this book on StartJoin. My campaign can be found at the following link:

https://www.startjoin.com/CoinFIRM

I am seeking contributions, the different levels of which will bring you some cool perks and benefits. Startjoin accepts PayPal and ‘StartCoin’. You are most welcome to donate via bitcoin to me directly, and I will offer you a 5% discount on the perks listed if you donate via BTC directly. Please especially consider the physical copy, as I need to get a certain number signed up in order to produce a quality printing.

Unfortunately that crowd funder expired unsuccessfully. Perhaps I should re-launch, as we were close to the goal. It was myh first time doing a crowd fund, so a few bumps are expected..
