I want to take part in your quiz contest. When do you start your quiz tomorrow?


I can't download Bitcoin whitepaper from the above link.
You can add this download link  https://whitepaper.io/document/0/bitcoin-whitepaper

Nice post - it certainly helps to simplify things as much as possible ( for me anyway ) , cheers mate.Also  reminds me to re- read Mastering Bitcoin - first book I read on Bitcoin and tbh the technical stuff was too much for me back then .

Certainly a must read
Satoshi explains everything in the whitepaper, wallets, nodes  pow...

I read it several times already  and I always learn more each time I read.

I made a quick summary on pow based on the whitepaper,  take a read later

You are more than right - Thankyou - I was in a rush because of my damn sausage fingers 

At the very least, provide a link to the whitepaper like https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Those who don't know and simply search on Google could land to other websites like bitcoindotcom. You know that site run by a fork?

Sorry I had sausage fingers and hit the post button before I finished the whole post !!

During this lockdown I’ve been getting a bit bored and so I decided to re read Satoshi’s whitepaper . I’m always surprised when I’ve met some bitcoiners in real life and they haven’t read the whitepaper. I wonder if you’ve read it ? If you haven’t , give it a read  

As an extra incentive to any members who want a few merit , I’ll do a little quiz on it tomorrow , so keep an eye on this thread !

Just 5 little questions with 5 answers and 5 merits up for grabs. 1 merit each for each correct answer. First to answer each question correctly gets a merit.

But don’t panic , if you dont win a merit at least you’ve read the whitepaper and hopefully you’ve learnt something .
Remember this is just a bit of fun .
