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

[Tyke]

Just dropping in to find out who is still interested in the Bitcoin history book. I'm currently putting together pages related to 2019 milestones and achievements. It is taking me longer than expected, but I think the September 2024 completion date is feasible.

Please read the opening post, and then consider supporting me as I aim for completion. I'm more determined than ever to get over the finish line.

“The Past Milestones”, the index is just amazing and it’s making me read the book already. This is definitely going to be detailed book considering the index titles from domain registration to how it started with email communications, yeah that gives me good insight about this book and what is expected from it. I think we are going to have very nice book soon just because of one active and enthusiastic member.

I just wanna say, keep it up. I will contact you regarding donation after few days once I get my salaries rolled over by my employer. Being Bitcoin lover I would be more than happy to donate small share for your good work. All the very best mate. Hope to see your copy released real soon.  

Much appreciated so98nn.  Bitcoin is nothing without its community.

Hey Tyke,

As promised I am making my first donation today at any time. I will update this post once I send the funds. I am already seeing your efforts taking shape so far and putting my trust that we will have great copies handed out soon.

I will be making TWO donations initially. I am willing to send one of them Today while the other one I will send by first week of January.

The first donation: $ 65  [ TRX ID: BTC 0.00147162 ]
The Second donation: $65 (Could be more, I will decide in Jan).

Will update the trx soon. UPDATED FIRST TRX

All the best mate!
Cheers.

Hello Tyke,

Currently consolidating Bitcoin history from 2008 to 2019 by reading print-outs. If I have missed any important information, it is ample opportunity to find out.

Once the above is done, 2020 to 2023 is next.

I won't be showing book interiors from now on. The book will hopefully be on sale in September 2024.

[Vladv26]

Congratulations for the initiative to start writing such a book. It's by now means an easy task and it requires tons of research and time put into it, but I'm sure it will all be worth it at some point in the future. I've taken a glance through the first chapters and considering you are not a professional writer and I'm assuming you've never done a project like this in the past, at least not at this scale, it looks great. The information seems well structured and it includes links, photos and quotes to better understand it.

I don't think I'm in a position to give you any suggestions, I just wanted to encourage to keep going and take this project to the end because such projects are of great benefit to Bitcoin community not only for present but especially for the future generations.

[Tyke]

Who will buy the book when it is published in September 2024?

[Tyke]

I'm slightly disappointed tgat the community hasn't supported me as much as I thought they would have. Nevertheless, whoever buys the book in September 2024 will have no excuses to forget major milestones and price history metrics. I also cover Bitcoin network hashrate history, Bitcoin Core wallets upgrades, soft forks, hacks, scams, the scaling debate, and more much.

300 A4 Colour pages covering Bitcoin history up to and including 30th June 2024!

For those who don't know me, I work as a warehouse operative (working class person). I don't aspire to succeed much as an employee, but rather strive to be creative as an individual person. The Bitcoin history book is what I devote significant amounts of time to, aiming to create something special for the community (completed book will be on Amazon in SEPTEMBER 2024!!!).  It is the main avenue through which I am exercising my intelligence and diligence.

I know most people in the community would rather hodl their crypto wealth, but isn't it wise to support community effort. All I seek is donations to aid my effort to create a detailed BTC history book. Please show generosity I once knew the community was renowned for in the early years. I look forward to your messages and feedback. I won't give up the task.

UPDATE 03/03/2024:

Nearly completed Bitcoin history book chapters documenting 2018 & 2019 milestones:



UPDATE 07/02/2024:

I've completed history chapters covering 2008 to 2017 (pages 44 to 187 - 144 pages).

2017 Chapter:



I will complete 2018 and 2019 before the end of February 2024.

Who is still interested?

UPDATE 07/01/2024:

There is an opportunity for 10 people to have their own personal page in the book!

For 0.01 BTC, on a first come first serve basis, one person is allowed to purchase just one page.  I invite you to write about your journey with Bitcoin (your participation, best memories, successes, failures etc.). Feel free to include photos.

I have opened the book up for these 10 pages to gain community insights and experience.

If interested, please contact me. The price has been set relatively high to deter too many entries.  

UPDATE 26/12/2023:

As a way to help me complete 'The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024' by September 2024, I seek community support.  

If you you would like your full name (or alias) in the book (will be listed on page 6 onwards), please private message me your name and donate at least $5 (crypto equivalent) towards my efforts.  Donation addresses are in the OP. Thank you in advance.

P.S. With sufficient support, I am the type of person who knuckles down and is totally determined.  Please trust me!


UPDATE 04/12/2023:


First of all, thank you to all those who have commented on this thread including useful feedback.  It is motivating and helps me to assess progress.  I have nearly completed the first draft of 8 chapters covering 2008-2016 (see draft preview, some pages removed) immediately below.  The Bitcoin yearly history chapters begin on page 44 after introductory and other BTC related


To be honest, I am slightly baffled about the lack of generosity from the community.  Countless time and energy has been put into it so far, and I am determined to write draft pages for 2017-end June 2024 next year.  I'm far from a greedy person (live in a small terrace house with terrible heating and an abomination of a garden) who continuously loves to learn and work hard.  Moreover, I turn down overtime at work in favour of writing this book.  If you can, please donate:

For one year, I've been researching and writing about the full 2008-2024 Bitcoin history.  I plan to self-publish a 300 A4 page book (colour interior) on Amazon by September 2024.  It will cover all major Bitcoin milestones from inception of the blockchain to the end of June 2024.  I've spent countless hours collating and presenting relevant history by writing 16 page yearly chapters. Below is a link showing a preview of what has already been put together:

If it doesn't Mention the Bitcoin Town Plan and the Bitcointalk Attack on the Project, then it's not a Complete Book.

Countless hours (most likely 1,000 hours or more) have been spent writing the aforementioned period.

Full book will be released on 12th September 2024!

[Tyke]

I will release the Bitcoin History book chapters 2008 to 2016 (pages 50 to 177) at around 23:00 UTC tonight.  The only pages incompleted are the chapter summary pages, which will be written when all other pages are done.

I hope the community will show generosity, because I have chosen to freely release 128 pages. I've spent countless hours putting it together, and know how special Bitcoin history is.

I look forward to all your comments about the above imminent release.

Happy Easter

[philipma1957]

Yeah have a good easter 🐣.  I will be reading the pages tonight thanks.

I look forward to feedback and hopefully community support.
