(BOOK)

For a few months I have been writing a book aimed at introducing beginners to cryptocurrency. Since March 2014, I have devoted much of my time towards researching a total of 41 coins (including Bitcoin). This book will also have other pages which define cryptocurrency terminlogy in a non-technical manner. Besides these, factual tables, statistics and more will be included. At the moment (03/10/2014) I have completed 37 coin sections with the following still incomplete:



Feathercoin FTC

Franko FRK

Novacoin NVC

Peercoin PPC





Old Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483187.0





After the introduction, there are 20 sections based on the following topics:



a) What is Cryptocurrency?

b) Why does Cryptocurrency exist?

c) Why are there so many "alt" coins?

d) Is Cryptocurrency money?

e) What is mining?

f) The Blockchain

g) Proof of Work and Proof of Stake

h) The Wallet Client

i) The Block Time

j) The Block Reward

k) What is a Pre-mine?

l) Difficulty Re-targeting

m) Scrypt, SHA-256 and others

n) What is a 51% attack?

o) Community

p) Exchanges

q) Coin Developers

r) Purchasing Cryptocurrency

s) Advertising/Marketing

t) Anonymity



These won't necessarily be it the above order

I myself am creating a Crypto Guide, mainly focused on a few upcoming cryptos I am looking at delivering it free across the area I live in then through the UK via supermarkets / shops etc.



I like the look of your guide does it cover the fundamentals of mining, exchanges, wallet security etc? Or is it just based on the cryptos themselves? Fallen down the crypto rabbithole!

I am based in the UK. It covers the basics of what mining is in a non-technical sense. It defines terms such as block reward, block time, mining algorithm and so on. Basically, it is just an introductory text for beginners with 41 coins included. I am based in the UK. It covers the basics of what mining is in a non-technical sense.

colour matters to humans, so red says -



"i'm really desperate for you to buy me I'm in a $2 shop"



and Grey says:



"this is a book with information in it"





try it out and display the results.
