Is it just me or is formatting broken?
If you haven't considered the block size wars (which is a big part of Bitcoin's history), I suggest you have a read of "The Blocksize War: The battle over who controls Bitcoin’s protocol rules". It mentions quite a few notable points in summary.

I remember your previous threads and mentions of the Bitcoin book you are working on. I am glad it's progressing nicely and is on route to hit the shelves in less then a year. A book with A4 dimensions is quite bulky to hold in your hands. Does it have a lot of images and graphics that warrants such a big size? Perhaps a smaller one wouldn't be a bad idea. Anyway, good luck with the project and hopefully it will be a success.
The book dimensions allow for more information on each page, plus the side bars. It was decided to shift all future cryoto history books to A4 3 years ago. The DigiByte histiry book is A4 size.
Who likes the A4 page format?

THE BITCOIN HISTORY BOOK 2008-2024
Well, first I congratulate you for doing such great work that will support many Bitcoin users. I saw the book that you have uploaded on your X account and read some part of it and what I decided is that you did wonderful work not only by writing it too well but also thby e interior when I saw was very attractive and good looking which give an additional and handsome look to your book. Through this book, I think many people who only know about Bitcoin invention in 2009 and after that, will know about the history of Bitcoin how the idea of Bitcoin comes, and how it is made. Hope this book will bring some revolution in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Lastly I again appreciate your work and hope to grab what you want as support Thank you for your gracious praise. Me and my partner have had a short argument about money/finances after i got home from work. I am the type of person who works hard, but sometimes my motivation wanes if i try too hard. I hope the community gets behind my efforts so a brilliant book can be released next year.
I look forward to hearing more praise and feedback.

OP, I appreciate your endless effort and zeal to write this book as I have read in your other thread when you started writing the book, and I am pleased that you are making progress on this project, because it shows how much you love bitcoin and you have also dedicate your time to teach people about bitcoin through your book.
I hope to see you complete the book on the right time that you said, and I hope that you will get more donations from forum members. I admire your passion on this.

It will be released next September 2024, unless I come down with something terrible. I have learnt more about Bitcoin whilst putting the book together

“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.

I have added wallet addresses for LTC, DOGE, ETH and XRP. I'm aware BTC fees are high at the moment. Please read parts of the book when you can.
Thank you to all those who have commented and donated so far. I am fully determined to complete the book by September 2024.

I got busy and fees were high for btc. spoke with tyke via pm today
I am giving him 0.5+0.5=1 ltc for Nov and Dec.
You could ask him via pm for an ltc addy I just sent to him via my coinbase account.
1ltc for nov and dec donations
for now I will be ending donations to members as my donation source (sig campaign) has suspended its payments to me due to high fees.
Hoping to resume in a month or so.

Historical books are very important because they serve as a bridge between past, present and future generations. Sadly history is not seen as an important field anymore because the present generation is more concerned with entertainment and sports. However, they fail to understand that the past shapes the present and the present determines the future. Historical books always have some important moral lesson that will help shape the lives of every reader.
I want to congratulate you for investing your precious time in putting up this important historical book about the development of one of the greatest discoveries of all time. I know this is not an easy task, but I want to encourage you to continue and finish this project. The current and future generations will find this book helpful because it will be both educational and motivational. I will also suggest that you consider having an audiobook version of this book when the project is completed.
I hope that you get all the support and encouragement you need. Good luck.

The community will certainly benefit from your efforts and I look forward to seeing its positive impact. I hope this book will be valuable for years to come. Keep up the great work!
That is one of the major reasons why I would highly appreciate community members to support via donations. On a personal note, I sacrifice offered extra hours at my job so I have extra time and energy to put the book together. I have loved Bitcoin (and the wider crypto space) for over 10 years.
November 26, 2023, 11:42:42 AM
I'm happy that there's someone from this community who is working on such a book. I like the cover and wish the author success.
I'm not a designer, so perhaps I'm very wrong on this point, but it feels a little overly bright to me. There's lots of bright orange, and then there's white text on orange background, black text on white, white text on black. Black text on different shades of gray etc.
I also think that, for a book like this, you should hire an academic editor (someone with great expertise on Bitcoin and its history) to proofread the text for potential mistakes, even if you're quite an expert on it yourself because it's important to get everything right, and a fresh pair of trained eyes could be very helpful with that.

There is nothing wrong with a bright book!
It's impossible to please everyone. The information in the book has been sourced from official sources. I have diligently checked and cross referenced sources.

Is the book cover close to the final version or is there much more to work on before a final version is unveiled? If you do not mind criticism. Would you mind a more minimalistic approach to the cover design? I believe that would be more attractive and trendy today. They do say do not judge a book by its cover, but many of us pull books out of the shelves in a store BASED on the cover we see.
I will give the book cover more food for thought next year, because I am overwhelmed this side of the year. I may let the community help with the cover via a competition, so thank you for the suggestion.
As I have reiterated before, I seek sponsors or donors to drive the book forward. There is much more to do (yearly 2017-2024 chapters - 8 chapters) before release in September 2024.
November 26, 2023, 11:30:30 AM
Your initiative is amazing. This is definitely a labor of love for Bitcoin. I truly hope that this book will serve as an informative and enlightening guide for those interested in learning more about Bitcoin, its history, and its impact on the world. It will provide important information and guidance on how to navigate the world of Bitcoin. I think it's inspiring to simplify complex concepts and terminology to make Bitcoin more accessible for newcomers to understand. The community will certainly benefit from your efforts and I look forward to seeing its positive impact. I hope this book will be valuable for years to come. Keep up the great work!

Unfortunately I can not access the Google Drive because I am not using Java Script. I do want to thank you for striving to do good for our Bitcoin Community.

We have some extremely good talent on Bitcoin Talk. Shower thought. What if you made a Bitcoin Talk cover design competition? Winner gets their design to be the official book cover and a free signed copy of the book? You would receive much more interaction from the community!
How about a limited edition print sold on the Collectibles board. Some of our members would be happy to pay a bit of a premium for that.

THE BITCOIN HISTORY BOOK 2008-2024
For one year, I've been researching and writing about the full 2008-2024 Bitcoin history.
For one year, I've been researching and writing about the full 2008-2024 Bitcoin history.
What a great performance, writing a book is not what is that easy not to talk of writing on bitcoin, this is a great achievement you have earned for yourself, it will be a guide in helping the newbies to understand the history of bitcoin and have time to study both online and for the benefit of those who love reading the hard cover books, they can have it archived in their homes for reference, this will indeed be an impressive discovery for those that wanted to learn about bitcoin and it's history but prefer going through a reading material for their learning, congratulations.
Thank you. I hope you read at least some of it, and then provide constructive feedback.
