[READ] Bitcoin history from 2008 to 2016!

[Tyke]

Sent some dog money -- keep up the good work.

I wish had some constructive feedback, but so far I'm just enjoying it all, especially the side-bars.

Fun fact: I interviewed for Jed McCaleb, but on his earlier project, eDonkey2000. He's a sharp guy.

Superb yes, the side-bars are useful for extra info or quotes.

Who knows more about Bitcoin after reading the above 128 pages (2008 to 2016)?

I look forward to feedback and hopefully community support.

I did not read your book but I saw you give us a downloadable version from Google Drive.

I think it is risky for your work as the PDF version on Google Drive is no Watermarked. Do you think of risk that your hard work will be stolen by someone else because it's hard to prove ownership of the book.

Did you register any Copyrights for the book, not yet published?

Add a Watermark to the downloadable version is not bad idea.

It is not the full book. I am the kind of person who shares resources with the community, not expecting anything in return. It encourages others to be generous too.

Congratulations on this work, I'm planning to read it but there's these things irl that I've got to focus on that makes me not sure that I'd be able to do it, I might donate someday soon but not right now given that I have some needs, I will link this book to my crypto groups outside the forum though, helps that you're getting more visibility.

I appreciate good work when I see it and what I would like to encourage is that you do this as a legacy to your name. Your children and future generations will always make reference to this book upon completion and publication as this speaks about the future and history of the worlds first and most valued coin, Bitcoin.
Also, am hoping this book be published both as pdf and hardcopy. More power to your elbows.

I really like what you have done. You did an in depth research into bitcoin and left no stone unturned. The inclusion of sidebars and concise notes throughout the book creates an engaging conversational tone, as if I'm in dialogue with a you as you take your readers through the fascinating journey. Imagine the book to have up to 1000 pages because as at page 128 were are still in the early years of bitcoin. I thank you. Kindly do well to copyright your book.

I understand your idea and it is good to share but you will feel bad if someone steal your intelligent products even you are ready to share at start.

On 18th August 2008, a helpful and trusted educational resource located
at the www.bitcoin.org domain address was registered at 13:19:55 UTC. It
was registered and originally owned by Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti
Malmi (alias sirius) who are known as the first two developers of the
Bitcoin code protocol. A service in Japan called AnonymousSpeech was
used allowing domain addresses to be anonymously bought .

I think it is better if you use "Bitcoin Protocol".

Satoshi Nakamoto left the forum on December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM but he left the Bitcoin community and this project on 26 Apr 2011, 10:29

Reference from his last email to Gavin Andresen.

Thank you for the info

Just finished the first half - a fascinating read.

Looking forward to purchasing the full book.

Hoping for more history on the variants that came from the block size war (noting that you've only released up to 2016).

Some feedback:

• In my view, some of the fiat-price history data points could be removed, maybe 10% of them.
• I'm not sure about the vertical end-of-year fiat price charts
• All the screenshots are great - of now defunct websites etc. Maybe more screenshots of the bitcoin client, etc? A screenshot what it looked like to mine a block?

I have doubts on how the yearly chart pages look. I'll give it some thought

I definitely commend your effort in dedicating the time and putting in the effort to start and complete a project of this sort just to immortalize BTC and yourself as the author for centuries to come.
Am sure many people will have had such an idea but am seeing yours as more comprehensive and indepth as it should because you actually belong to the right community and have access to first rate information.

There is still much more do do before September 2024. It has not been an easy journey, but the challenge writing was worth it.

Follow me on X if you have not already: https://twitter.com/CryptoBooksAlt

I will try to post more regular updates as I go forward.

[Tyke]

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.

I know you have mentioned that you plan to write the book to cover up until the 2024 period and will release in September this year. Given that you originally started writing this book a few years ago, I imagine the "final year" to be included in the book has actually slowly increased. Do you think that once you publish the book in 2024, you will make continual annual.updates?
