'The Bitcoin History Book' in Progress (RELEASE: September 2024)

[Tyke]

I would recommend you consider getting some professional artwork done

Bad advice to spend money on something that will not increase value.

Nothing wrong with OP artwork, and the draw for this book will not be for the artwork.

Thank you for your comments. I think the book cover is simple and sufficient.

Bitcoin history pages from inception to October 2018 fully complete. I anticipate 2008-2019 complete this month.

Other yearly chapters are currently in annotatee draft format. I look forward to finishing 2020-2023 by the end of June 2024.

Please send feedback on the 2008-2016 content, and don't forget to support my efforts (read opening post). I will do my utmost, whilst working full-time hours for my day job, to finish the book in the summer.

Thank you to all those who have already donated to the book. All your names/aliases will be listed in the book.

Great news!

I'm still making constructive progress.  Currently I'm completing chapter 2019, which I hope will be finished within the next week.  

The screenshots are thumbnails of pages 178 to 214 covering January 2017 to March 2019:

Please support the book if you can.  There is only myself who has spent over one year writing it.  

P.S. If you donate at least US$10, you will have your name/alias listed in the book!

Have you asked Theymos?  Most people here donated to him, expecting him to support bitcoin projects like he said.

I messaged him without a reply yet.

Completed pages 50-225 (out of 300). Currently working on 2020 Bitcoin history pages.

Currently putting together 'The Bitcoin History Book' 2008-2024 chapter covering 2020 milestones:



I think I'll still on course to complete the book by September 2024.  It seems that the next four months are going to be challenging due to limited time and financial resources.  

If you don't know, you can have your name/alias listed in the book for at least US$10 (see donation addresses in OP).  Over ten have already been listed, thank you.

Happy to announce that 2017-2020 history chapters almost finished:

Where will the eBook be released, once it is finished? This is obviously not going to be a FREE book.. right?

I have read some of it and I am looking forward to seeing the end product. Good luck... hope everything goes well with the final release.

Ah, thank you for the response. Do you have any estimation on how much it will cost to buy the book?

I have bought a lot of Bitcoin books in the past and I will gladly add this one to my collection.

Can you also give some background information in this thread about the process and challenges to get this published.

Hey OP. I doubt you'll get much attention from potential donors, apart from what you already have.

Here's my offer of donation of my time -- allow me to help you edit your work. Did it for a living in previous career, still part of current job. It's pretty good content already so I won't look to change language, but more of a tidying up. e.g. inconsistency in British spelling, inconsistent Bitcoin/BTC use or even an explanatory footnote why you use BTC (thinking of the newbies here), presenting aliases.

Suggestions:
- Have a glossary already?
- More sources where you cite or present information (just hyperlink with source)

A decent book, suitable for a diverse audience.

I'll pass on your services. I'm focusing on completing the book by September 2024.

The next 2 months are going to be extremely challenging.  Thank you for offering your services and feedback.
