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.

我接触到区块链最好的入门书,配合普林斯顿的公开课,花一个月时间好好研究一下。比看再多的科普文章都划得来。他不仅介绍技术,还有很多应用以及价值上的解释。不要犹豫,开始看吧!
评分这可能是2015乃至现在,最好的bitcoin『科普』教科书。 据说是普林斯顿的教科书,估计是低年级的课程。定位其实很尴尬,作为开发者来看,这本书绝对是不够的;作为门外汉,后面有几章的内容确实需要比较强的『学术』背景才能比较好的消化。 但是,这仍然不失为一本好的科普读本。尤其是bitcoin的前世今生,读起来还是很有趣味性的。给4分吧 anonymity = pseudonymity + unlinkability
评分good introduction. a few chapter, e.g. transactions and hash pointers are a bit confusing and could have been better written.

评分好歹也是Princeton,蹭热点出个公开课加教材,sha算法不好好讲,mining不好好讲,偏要扯当年的币价矿机算力再到后来还开始设计各种smart contract。。多讲点数学做点统计概率推演讲清楚51攻击比什么都好吧。。常青藤????
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 评分本书的翻译实在是太烂了。专有名词的错误就已经比比皆是。 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? 本书将讨论比特币的一系列...
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...
