I applaud you, Bitcoin Magazine

Just got issue #4, and I have to say, the quality is far superior to not only issue #1, but also issues #2 and #3. By quality I mean both content and print quality. I see that Mihai Alisie is now editor-in-chief, while Matthew N. Wright has been moved to a contributing writer. Not sure that keeping MNW on-board at all was the best decision, but good luck to you, Mihai.

The magazine has been extremely useful in introducing new people to the currency. Something about having a physical manifestation of something (such as BTC Magazine or Casascius coins) really seems to work well for getting people interested. Keep on improving, you guys!

I was thinking of starting a thread just like this.

A huge hats off to Bitcoin Magazine for an awesome Issue #4.  The main thing about Issue #4 that really makes me happy is that there is so much content in there that's geared to the average Bitcoin-curious person that if they were to pick it up, there would be plenty for them to read and they wouldn't be put off.  Issue #4 is something I'd be proud to see spammed around and left in waiting rooms, which is a long way from issue #1, which was exciting in itself, but would leave non-Bitcoiners scratching their head.

Good news. From the first three I liked #3 the most and now I'm excited about issue #4. My bulk order is on its way and should be here any day now.

This is a misconception. MNW is in the credits because he had helped out with one of the articles that got pushed back into 4 from a previous issue months ago, and there was no point in scrapping the entire article just to be able to put a "Matthew-free" sticker on the issue. He has not provided any input into Bitcoin Magazine since September, he will not be in the credits for #5, and we have no plans to bring him back.

Otherwise, thanks a lot guys for your support! We'll continue doing everything we can to make this magazine the best that it can be, and always gladly welcome your feedback!

Still waiting for my issue #2, #3, and #4...my hat is still on until then

How's it for getting pdf versions of these online?

And just to not stirr up controversy: I was thinking of paid copies of course.

For the first issue, I got a PDF of the magazine sent to my email. Haven't got anything for the rest, but I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to. I don't need the digital version as long as I have the physical version, so I haven't really thought about it much.

Does this mean #5 will have Matthew-free stickers?

I'd consider paying extra if this is the case.
