How did this thread turn into a language discussion?

Because, without the Grammar Police, the world would implode, and any currency would become irrelevant.

Great research by op......

Holy crap, why did I do a masters degree in the physical sciences? I'll be in the nearest corner, crying to myself.

It's easy to pick holes in other peoples work especially when you just put on the grammar Nazi hat. I'd like to see one of your pieces of work.

I personally don't mind a good spell checker. If I ever want to update my thesis PDF I will have all the typos and mistakes in one place for easy reference Wink.

Still, the most interesting part of this thread was the language discussion. Smiley
Indeed! I didn't realise it had been dug up. Just seemed interesting.

I am writing my Bachelors thesis regarding Bitcoin. It would be much shorter and less detailed than yours obviously. On page 20, you talk about the Bitcoin ecosystem. Where did you get this definition from? I thought it referred to businesses,institutions etc which exist/thrive due to Bitcoin. You can get some idea on what i'm talking about:

BTW your thesis has been pretty useful, since you have explained the working of Bitcoin quite well. I will give credit to your work when my thesis is complete. Thanks Smiley

As far as I remember I defined the "Bitcoin ecosystem" term myself, I don't remember seeing it being used anywhere before I published my thesis.

Grammar errors, my friend.

I'm glad you were so specific.

I'm sorry! Just got to work. Here's a glaring example:

Page 8 - Introduction

"Moreover, during the design of the application, the security features of the Bitcoin network and infrastructure is to be analysed."

it should be

Moreover, during the design of the application, the security features of the Bitcoin network and infrastructure are to be analysed.

edit:

Page 10 - 2.1

"Cryptography is the discipline of writing a message in ciphertext with the aim of protecting a secret from malicious or unauthorised parties."

"Professional cryptography protects not only the plaintext, but also the key and the cryptosystem as a whole."

2.1.1

Encryption and decryption – algorithms focusing on the mapping of plaintext into ciphertext and vice versa [1], used mainly to ensure data confidentiality.

Thanks for the donation. Have a good read when you get around to it Wink.

Hope you'll enjoy the reading. I'd like to apologize for the use of polish at the start (it was a requirement), and for some boring introduction of basic things (also a requirement).

Donations welcome:

Yes, your right. If it would be a part of payment process it's more likely there will be any use of it. Maybe developers will find the idea to be good and include it in a new version of client. We will see...
