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.

这本书太好读了,深入浅出,在办公室一口气翻完,耶
评分当作科幻小说读完的。
评分尽管我坚定地认为意识进化的方向是中心化而非去中心化(甚至比特币自身生态的进化也多次证明了这一点),比特币仍然是一个有益的启发:关于技术改变社会游戏规则的可能性—前提是技术真正被思考于重要的问题。
评分反正作为对这块完全不懂的人,这本书讲的还是挺不错的,该懂的都懂了。复杂的部分一知半解也就过了。比特币最牛的就是它的去中心化,看看它怎么撬动这个世界吧。
评分非常详细与全面。PS:中本聪神人也。
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...
评分 评分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...

评分这是一本普林斯顿老师写给技术宅的书。 作者在序言里说:如果你是一名计算机专业本科生或研究生、软件工程师、创业者或技术爱好者,那么这本书很适合你。 但看过后发现,对于非技术背景人员也是非常有趣有用的。 一本好书就应该是深入浅出又不乏详尽的把问题讲清楚吧。 “货币...
