Hi,
everyone - I'd like to make it clear - I have no links to the University of Cypress at all. I have not been paid to post this message. I was surfing the web looking for introductory courses and found this one that is a pre cursor to an MSC in Digital Currency with the University of Cypress in Nicosia. You can do it online, and its is free. All they ask is that you take it as seriously as a real course you paid for.
The course author - if you Google him seems to be asked to speak at International Conferences all over the world and is constantly interviewed for his take on Bitcoin and crypto currenies etc.
I've signed up for the January course. I just thought people might be interested in taking a look, so I thought I'd share the link. I think the idea is to encourage folks to enrol onto the MSC - which is not cheap 11,840 Euros, so that they then go on to the Ph.D.
