Doesn't really matter. I like riddles, would just hate it if nothing was there to be found.

I just saw something by the way:

The title words are not aligned on the left. Rookie editing mistake.

The M in mastering does not align with the B of bitcoin, the line and the U of unlocking.

[Hugroll]

that book cover really doesnt look appealing. if i had to guess your opinion I'd say that the colour scheme doesnt work well. and i dont understand how ants carrying leaves symzolizes bitcoin in any way.

[Christianne_Gottlieb]

you can't "unlock" cryptocurrencies.

that's like "o reilly"?    unlock one of satoshies addresses if you can.

[chalkboard17]

Ants don't carry leaves like that.
Copyrighted material twice
Copyrighted material on top barely visible
Unlocking should be Discovering or something like that
DIGITAL CRYPTOCURRENCIES should be CRYPTOCURRENCY or at best CRYPTOCURRENCIES if talking about more currencies
Words aren't well aligned.

[AgentofCoin]

...Do you guys really think he will pay 0.5 btc for this?

If he doesn't he is going to get negative trust.

But any way, my guess is that you can not "unlock" cryptocurrencies, but they must be "cracked".
As a play on words, so, the cover should say: "Cracking digital crypto-currencies", for the double meaning.

One meaning, to understand.
The other, to code break (which currently has not happened with Bitcoin private keys...yet)

[franky1]

1. many people favour the term 'blockchain currencies' when talking about bitcoin and all the alts using the same basic technology.. 'cryptocurrencies' seems off/geeky
2. what do blockchain currencies have to do with ants holding leaf's?
3. using 'unlocking' and ants.. gives the illusion its insecure and buggy as the hidden metaphor

[maokoto]

Maybe it is just a way to promote the book and take a lot of people to follow the link and watch the cover .

Ants may be for antminers?

[Christianne_Gottlieb]

I said it and noticed it first, btw. the "unlock" thing.

o'reilly have always published stupid covers. here's why:

My answer is: Ants are really hardworking animals. But most of bitcoin investors are hoping to get rich easily.

Official explanation about ants: https://github.com/aantonop/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/preface.asciidoc#why-are-there-bugs-on-the-cover

Also; Book is Copyrighted. Quoting from Antonopoulos: (I've dm'ed him about translation print while translating the book)

The book is licensed CC-BY-SA. Anyone can publish it as long as they open source the translation too. Lookup CC-BY-SA

As a (relatively) early adopted, the new price pump is making me feel generous... Who is smart enough to tell me what is wrong with this book cover? 0.5 BTC reward for the right answer.

"Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopolous

It looks like the ants are holding a leaf with their mouths, and that is not how ants carry things.

If it is not that then it is something else to do with the ants

Quickscammer you're damn right...

I have found the page that gives all errors of this book.

I am the smartest one of you all.
Just Kidding as the OP is laughing at us for trying.

But if you want the raw and uncut early release go on and see it:

Nothing is wrong with the cover.

Nice find. The one sold is final release so many revisions until it was published.

[lyth0s]

The OP is clickbait so he can collect affiliate commission on all your amazon purchases over the next 3 days. That's also why its a newbie account so he doesn't have to make the 0.5btc payout once he's done



You can tip me for exposing the truth here: 1NmVuA5gSFyZTjGDnA5ZADC1YNciP4nXbU

Ooh. It's too bad that you pointed that now. It's going to annoy me now. That's really noticeable now that I realize it!

The kerning is also now irritating me. The t and c in Bitcoin, and the s and t in Mastering.

[worhiper_-_]

The angle the ants are walking on.

[kntdookoo]

You can't 'MASTER' Bitcoin....

[Guido]

well if he is saying 'Mastering Bitcoin' and then goes on to say digital cryptocurrencies on front page, it is a small b for bitcoin talking about it as a digital cryptocurrency
uppercase B for blockchain, coin and protocol
he may go and discuss everything in book, I am sure he must
but the cover description is a little conflicting and vague this way
