Information is okay in the book but the book really needs an editor. Organization of chapters and information doesn't flow well and there are some semantic and grammatical issues that make parts difficult to read. Some opening paragraphs consist of sentences that just repeat the title of the chapter a couple times in different structure. Some chapters seem to repeat the same stuff as previous chapters; this is another area where some reorganization would make it easier to read. There are also many spelling errors that a simple spell check would pick up.
A revised version with some focus on editing and reorganization would make the book a lot better.
Nice little book providing a high level overview of the basic concepts behind blockchain and public ledger technology. Very much oriented towards the layperson.
Technology nowadays is at highest advantage and mostly it is created for positive change in society and the whole world.Way back old times, people rely on manual ledger to calculate annual income or to keep record of anything related to business. Then, computer was introduced. This was of course for the advantage of all mankind-to uplift the living condition and utilize technology to its maximum level.Afterwards, there was java, C++, Bitcoin and now,Blockchain. So, what exactly is blockchain? It is a data structure that creates a digital ledger of transactions and share it among a distributed network of computers. It uses cryptography to allow each participant on the network to manipulate the ledger in a secure way without the need for a central authority.It is like a shared public ledger on which the entire Bitcoin network relies. All confirmed transactions are included in the block chain.Both Bitcoins and Blockchains weigh importance and rely on each other's functionality to be useful.
