If it's something you enjoy, keep doing it & don't let people question your hard work. The internet has somewhat overtaken books & news papers, so please keep up the great work & know that many people would enjoy reading offline (more of a movie buff, but have enjoyed the year or so of seeing previews of your work). In the real world of people always saying that one small thing isn't going to change the world, but it really does & that is the truth! People might just look back a decade from now & find that you were sign by a publisher, made it to the big leagues with future novels (books, magazines, comics, news papers, etc..).

Walking through the library, stumble upon a strange book called... Hmm, never heard of this & starts to read Cool

Hi Tyke,

This is Ötzi from Peercointalk. I am done reading most of the book (coloured version).

What I like the most is that you remain narrator throughout the book instead of commentator, by letting quotes of forum users and Sunny's answers speak for themselves. That way you illustrate important points in the history of Peercoin, and you spotlight controversial things about Peercoin and its history, while you as the author remain neutral. You allow readers to develop their own thoughts instead of just serving them your own opinion.
Since you are writing about so many cryptocurrencies, it seems very wise to remain neutral.

Other than that, the book delivers what it promises: A detailed history of the first year of Peercoin.
This is interesting to anybody who is already involved with Peercoin, but the book should not be confused with a beginner's guide or with a technical reference book.

Good luck with your further writings Smiley

This does not look like an altcoin launch announcement.

No lol.  It is a recently published book about Peercoin (launched on 19th August 2012)

I think it's a really good idea to record the history of each coins that are beyond a pump-and-dump because it could truly be a huge part of our culture and society within the coming years. I am excited to see the second year for peercoin and the following years for bitcoin as well. Will you be making new books for other altcoins and will you be releasing further histories as peercoin reaches second-year, etc.?
