Felix Filozov	e60b823854	Fixing off-by-one dice target, and adding more precision to the outcome. ... The minimum target cannot be 2, because you can't throw a pair of dice and get a value less than 2.	2021-02-10 21:00:20 -05:00

jerzybrzoska	b56735ae9c	ch08.asciidoc I specified where UTXO pool is stored in Bitcoin Core to avoid confusion ... When came across this paragraph I assumed, thinking "some [other than Bitcoin Core] implementations of the bitcoin client" that Bitcoin Core does not store its UTXO pool anywhere. I did [some research] (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/102267/where-in-bitcoin-are-mempool-and-utxo-pools-written) and it turns out that it does. Providing such a detail to the readers would help avoid unnecessary confusion.	2021-02-05 16:18:13 +01:00
jerzybrzoska	e0af335152	ch08.asciidoc: Implementation status of BIP-150 and BIP-151 ( ... In fact, [BIP-151](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips) was withdrawn.	2021-02-05 10:52:45 +01:00

jerzybrzoska	dc290d7b87	"verack message" instead of "verack" ... The reader was not introduced to the term verack earlier - 'verack' appears only once in this chapter. Thus, "verack message" seems more readable.	2021-01-30 16:14:37 +01:00

Andreas M. Antonopoulos	e3695afbf6	Merge pull request #742 from syncom/syncom/ch07-2-of-5-multisig ... ch07: 2-of-5 instead of 2-of-3 for Mohammed's example	2021-01-19 11:41:58 -06:00
Andreas M. Antonopoulos	bf56c59a85	Merge pull request #746 from jerzybrzoska/patch-3 ... ch.02: Let us not be too assuming about the gender of "each miner"	2021-01-19 11:20:38 -06:00
Hennadii Stepanov	5d50a93ee6	ch10: Align target description with the actual implementation ... See: 43f3ada27b/src/pow.cpp (L86-L88)	2021-01-19 15:10:02 +02:00
jerzybrzoska	65dd6b8be0	ch.02: Let us not be too assuming about the gender of "each miner" ... It is too assuming to suppose that the gender of "each miner" is masculine. Hence I propose to use [singular they](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they). More on singular they [here](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/use-the-singular-they/). 'He' was substituted with 'they' only when it refers to "each miner", i.e. miners in general, and not when it refers to Jing. In the latter case I have left he unchanged.	2021-01-19 13:05:10 +01:00
Ning Shang	7284634837	Nit: exponentially -> significantly ... In the dice rolling example, because there are only two dice, the phrase 'exponentially more' could cause confusion. It feels better to be a bit handwavy here and just say 'significantly more'.	2021-01-18 20:51:21 -08:00
Ning Shang	c942d694b6	ch07: Typo fixes ... Fix minor typos related to 'equal to' and 'less/greater than'.	2021-01-18 20:34:24 -08:00
Ning Shang	06f1a947e9	chp04: xref <<vanity_minor_code>> seems better for note on std:random_device ... Because 'std::random_device' appears in xref vanity_miner_code as opposed to xref vanity_miner_run, it feels more appropriate to use the former in this note.	2021-01-18 20:25:31 -08:00
Ning Shang	555be41b2b	ch07: 2-of-5 instead of 2-of-3 for Mohammed's example ... The example is a 2-of-5 multisig, according to the Pay-to-Script-Hash example description earlier, and the P2SH example a few lines below.	2021-01-18 20:00:19 -08:00

Hennadii Stepanov	a8c672ffb5	ch04: Fix mathematical terms ... 1. EC multiplication is a "one-way" function, not a "trapdoor" one. There is no information that makes reverse function easy. See: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function 2. The "discrete logarithm" is more usual term for the reverse operation for EC multiplication.	2021-01-15 09:23:51 +02:00
