Hi guys,
Michael Perklin here from C4.
franky1 is absolutely correct: the CBP exam does not mean you are an expert in Bitcoin. A CBP is someone who understands enough about the blockchain, addresses, keys and wallets to
use Bitcoin successfully. They understand what a confirmation is, why they should wait a few for high-value transactions, and backing up/restoring keys to protect their funds. The CBP exam covers 32 separate topics arranged in 6 domains of knowledge.
It's intended to assert that someone meets the minimum requirements to be working with Bitcoin. For example, if you need to task one of your employees to create and manage your company's wallet, you'd want them to understand Bitcoin well enough to keep your coins safe.
9kv, you're incorrect regarding it being an "Internet Certificate."
We mail out a physical certificate to those who earn certification. You can see an example of them on our twitter feed here:
https://twitter.com/_CFour_/status/507592388424921090When it comes to being an expert in Bitcoin, that will be measured with the CBX exam which is due out this winter. That will be targeted at developers, security auditors, and anyone who needs to understand all of the advanced aspects of Bitcoin, such as building a transaction manually or working with the protocol at the byte level. That exam will be much more intensive (250 questions instead of 75) and be administered in a proctored (in-person) format.
There's more information available on the website, or you can ask questions here if you'd like.
