Arvind Narayanan, Joseph Bonneau, Edward Felten, Andrew Miller, Steven Goldfeder, Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies, Princeton: Princeton University Press (forthcoming), 2016. This textbook closely follows the video lectures in the course. The official and professionally done version of the book will be out this summer.

Introduction to the book

There’s a lot of excitement about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Optimists claim that Bitcoin will

fundamentally alter payments, economics, and even politics around the world. Pessimists claim

Bitcoin is inherently broken and will suffer an inevitable and spectacular collapse.

Underlying these differing views is significant confusion about what Bitcoin is and how it works. We

wrote this book to help cut through the hype and get to the core of what makes Bitcoin unique.

To really understand what is special about Bitcoin, we need to understand how it works at a technical

level. Bitcoin truly is a new technology and we can only get so far by explaining it through simple

analogies to past technologies.

We’ll assume that you have a basic understanding of computer science — how computers work, data

structures and algorithms, and some programming experience. If you’re an undergraduate or

graduate student of computer science, a software developer, an entrepreneur, or a technology

hobbyist, this textbook is for you.

In this book we’ll address the important questions about Bitcoin. How does Bitcoin work? What

makes it different? How secure are your bitcoins? How anonymous are Bitcoin users? What

applications can we build using Bitcoin as a platform? Can cryptocurrencies be regulated? If we were

designing a new cryptocurrency today, what would we change? What might the future hold?

Each chapter has a series of homework questions to help you understand these questions at a deeper

level. In addition, there is a series of programming assignments in which you’ll implement various

components of Bitcoin in simplified models. If you’re an auditory learner, most of the material of this

book is also available as a series of video lectures. You can find all these on our Coursera course . You

should also supplement your learning with information you can find online including the Bitcoin wiki,

forums, and research papers, and by interacting with your peers and the Bitcoin community.

After reading this book, you’ll know everything you need to be able to separate fact from fiction when

reading claims about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. You’ll have the conceptual foundations you

need to engineer secure software that interacts with the Bitcoin network. And you’ll be able to

integrate ideas from Bitcoin into your own projects.

读后感

区块链并不是一个新技术，而是用已经存在技术来解决问题的一种新思想新规则，其中包含了密码学、分布式计算等已经成熟的技术，他主要是解决了中心化的信任问题。比特币就是区块链技术最成功的应用，分布式账本可能是大家听过最多的介绍。 这本书除了标题翻译得莫名其妙以外，是...  

直译应该是《比特币与加密数字货币系统全面参考指南》是一本2015年从技术角度解析比特币区块链技术演进、实现、发展的全面指南，讨论加密数字货币的理想、实现、缺陷、改进与优化的技术解析。 虽然已经读了多本关于数字货币和区块链的书，总是感觉太多写的不够透彻和深入，新经...

借着这本书谈一点对区块链的看法。前几天区块链又借着领导人的谈话火了一下，其峰值热度高到似乎逢人不说一点区块链都有点out了。那么什么是区块链？有不少人马上就想到比特币等数字货币，把区块链和数字货币划等号了，显然这路人错的离谱到对其多说一个字都是在浪费自己宝贵生...

用户评价

Ch1；掌握一点基础，就足以除掉很多幼稚的想法

实在是找不到好的～区块链 の书了 ㈠数字货币"比特币" 区块 一页账簿⇔链 —挖矿— 比特币：只需大众参与， 下载比特币客户端每个人都有账本 "互联网信用" 矿工全网监督，代码即法律. 每个节点平等：挖矿信用 ㈡智能合约 个人 机构 财产 eg英国智能租房协议 ，自动判断出发条件 但主观比较难协定 ; 电子病例 投票选举 ㈢区块链类型 公有链 以太坊 联盟链 公司 私有链 同事

非常详细与全面。PS：中本聪神人也。

这本书太好读了，深入浅出，在办公室一口气翻完，耶

当作科幻小说读完的。
