From 62ecf90b670f9d7e5010044c3bedbc9b2b9cf1ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: michaelcippolito Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2017 15:20:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Suspected typo in acknowledgements section Seems odd to switch from 'on' to 'in' within the same sentence: "Every time I pulled on one thread of the bitcoin technology, I had to pull in the whole thing." Changed 'in' to 'on': "Every time I pulled on one thread of the bitcoin technology, I had to pull on the whole thing." --- preface.asciidoc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/preface.asciidoc b/preface.asciidoc index 02d30283..0a8f9c38 100644 --- a/preface.asciidoc +++ b/preface.asciidoc @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ Thanks also to those who supported me when I submitted my book proposal to O'Rei Thanks to Cricket Liu, author of the O'Reilly title _DNS and BIND_, who introduced me to O'Reilly. Thanks also to Michael Loukides and Allyson MacDonald at O'Reilly, who worked for months to help make this book happen. Allyson was especially patient when deadlines were missed and deliverables delayed as life intervened in our planned schedule. -The first few drafts of the first few chapters were the hardest, because bitcoin is a difficult subject to unravel. Every time I pulled on one thread of the bitcoin technology, I had to pull in the whole thing. I repeatedly got stuck and a bit despondent as I struggled to make the topic easy to understand and create a narrative around such a dense technical subject. Eventually, I decided to tell the story of bitcoin through the stories of the people using bitcoin and the whole book became a lot easier to write. I owe thanks to my friend and mentor, Richard Kagan, who helped me unravel the story and get past the moments of writer's block, and Pamela Morgan, who reviewed early drafts of each chapter and asked the hard questions to make them better. Also, thanks to the developers of the San Francisco Bitcoin Developers Meetup group and Taariq Lewis, the group's co-founder, for helping to test the early material. +The first few drafts of the first few chapters were the hardest, because bitcoin is a difficult subject to unravel.

Also, thanks to the developers of the San Francisco Bitcoin Developers Meetup group and Taariq Lewis, the group's co-founder, for helping to test the early material. During the development of the book, I made early drafts available on GitHub and invited public comments. More than a hundred comments, suggestions, corrections, and contributions were submitted in response. Those contributions are explicitly acknowledged, with my thanks, in <>. Special thanks to Minh T. Nguyen, who volunteered to manage the GitHub contributions and added many significant contributions himself. Thanks also to Andrew Naugler for infographic design.
