Not sure that keeping MNW on-board at all was the best decision, but good luck to you, Mihai.

This is a misconception. MNW is in the credits because he had helped out with one of the articles that got pushed back into 4 from a previous issue months ago, and there was no point in scrapping the entire article just to be able to put a "Matthew-free" sticker on the issue. He has not provided any input into Bitcoin Magazine since September, he will not be in the credits for #5, and we have no plans to bring him back.

Does this mean #5 will have Matthew-free stickers?

I'd consider paying extra if this is the case.

How's it for getting pdf versions of these online?

And just to not stirr up controversy: I was thinking of paid copies of course.

For the first issue, I got a PDF of the magazine sent to my email. Haven't got anything for the rest, but I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to. I don't need the digital version as long as I have the physical version, so I haven't really thought about it much.

Good news. From the first three I liked #3 the most and now I'm excited about issue #4. My bulk order is on its way and should be here any day now.

I was thinking of starting a thread just like this.

A huge hats off to Bitcoin Magazine for an awesome Issue #4.  The main thing about Issue #4 that really makes me happy is that there is so much content in there that's geared to the average Bitcoin-curious person that if they were to pick it up, there would be plenty for them to read and they wouldn't be put off.  Issue #4 is something I'd be proud to see spammed around and left in waiting rooms, which is a long way from issue #1, which was exciting in itself, but would leave non-Bitcoiners scratching their head.

Just got issue #4, and I have to say, the quality is far superior to not only issue #1, but also issues #2 and #3. By quality I mean both content and print quality. I see that Mihai Alisie is now editor-in-chief, while Matthew N. Wright has been moved to a contributing writer. Not sure that keeping MNW on-board at all was the best decision, but good luck to you, Mihai.

The magazine has been extremely useful in introducing new people to the currency. Something about having a physical manifestation of something (such as BTC Magazine or Casascius coins) really seems to work well for getting people interested. Keep on improving, you guys!
