what I was looking for, however i recommend reading also "Mastering Bictoin" if you seek a deeper technical understanding

I was expecting it to be a little more technical, but this is the only critic I have.

Very disappointing. The guy doesn't understand what he is writing about and just compiles pieces of information.
