Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies
A Comprehensive Introduction
By Arvind Narayanan, Joseph Bonneau, Edward Felten, Andrew Miller
About the book
A self-contained introduction to digital currency, the book by Arvind Narayanan, Joseph Bonneau, Edward Felten and Andrew Miller explains how Bitcoin and its block chain work, how secure bitcoins are, how anonymous their users are, and whether cryptocurrencies can be regulated. It begins with the history of Bitcoin and then lays the conceptual and practical groundwork for engineering secure software that works with the Bitcoin network. Topics include mining, decentralization, altcoins and the wider ecosystem, politics, and the future of the currency. An accompanying website offers lecture slides, homework problems, programming assignments and videos for each chapter, and the material pairs with the authors' Coursera course. It is written for students, software developers, tech entrepreneurs and computer science researchers.
