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.

the best book so far on blockchain ,to help build up a complete , thorough yet basic understanding , recommend for beginners
評分這可能是2015乃至現在,最好的bitcoin『科普』教科書。 據說是普林斯頓的教科書,估計是低年級的課程。定位其實很尷尬,作為開發者來看,這本書絕對是不夠的;作為門外漢,後麵有幾章的內容確實需要比較強的『學術』背景纔能比較好的消化。 但是,這仍然不失為一本好的科普讀本。尤其是bitcoin的前世今生,讀起來還是很有趣味性的。給4分吧 anonymity = pseudonymity + unlinkability
評分花瞭好久纔斷斷續續看完,當作入門書籍還可以
評分這本書太好讀瞭,深入淺齣,在辦公室一口氣翻完,耶
評分盡管我堅定地認為意識進化的方嚮是中心化而非去中心化(甚至比特幣自身生態的進化也多次證明瞭這一點),比特幣仍然是一個有益的啓發:關於技術改變社會遊戲規則的可能性—前提是技術真正被思考於重要的問題。
今年网上关于数字货币和区块链的文章和讨论汗牛充栋,但我一直狐疑的是,有说的那么厉害吗,特别是看到“重新定义了金融”,“重新定义世界”,“颠覆金融业”,“重建信用机制”。有些人的夸大之声像卖保健品的宣传一样“能治百病”。正因为对这些的质疑才想找书来看。这本书...
評分 評分为2018.02期读书会活动所写 近来区块链实在大火,以至于同事们纷纷讨论,追求科技,必然要了解它。于是知乎上看了多篇文章,看了原始论文《Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System》,补充p2p通信的一些知识,以及初略的看了《区块链:技术驱动金融》这本书。 该书前...
評分1,区块链技术是自复式记账法被发明以来,人类社会记账方法的第一次革命性改进。 从密码朋克到比特币,这是一个典型的“沙堆效应”,也就是我党常说的“星星之火,可以燎原”。从自身做起,影响自己能影响的少数人,如同一颗沙子落在一堆沙上,这样总有一天那堆沙会被这样类似...
評分花了两个星期的时间读了这本书,本身的算法基础不强,许多概念第一次读得一头雾水,等到反刍起来,第二次读才感觉出些门道,比如挖矿用的哈希函数,区块链的数据结构,比特币去中心化的实现方法,比特币的匿名化等等,其实细细读来,能够有许许多多的收获,在很大程度上讲,我...
