42a975730a replaced example of blockchain wallet with multibit wallet. Even though the blockchain wallet examples were written before I got a job at Blockchain, I want to remove even the appearance of bias. 2014-09-17 10:09:34 -04:00

85654d7367 Revert some change from pull request #132. You don't 'unlock' an address. No need to mention paper walllets; keeping it simple 2014-09-04 21:52:20 -07:00

e2f7349fe2 Update ch01.asciidoc, What is bitcoin 3rd para
Made a few implied points more explicit and changed "transaction" to "address" in a few occasions where it was more appropriate
for e.g.  
"Users of bitcoin own keys which allow them to prove ownership of transactions in the bitcoin network, unlocking the value to spend it and transfer it to a new recipient. " to 
"Users of bitcoin own keys which allow them to prove ownership of addresses in the bitcoin network. Unlocking these addresses, unlocks any value associated to it and grants the user the ability to spend and thus transfer value from it."

Do key holders really own transactions? when someone transfers bitcoin to a user's address, is that transaction really theirs rather than the spender's? Isn't it more appropriate to say that the bitcoins associated to their address is theirs.

"Unlocking value to spend it and transfer it to a new recipient"
here unlocking value implies the "value to spend" instead of "spend the value", also, isn't spend and transfer the same thing? and a user could transfer bitcoins to an old recipient instead of a new one.

770115bab2 removed section describing the economic benefits of bitcoin. Do not want to add political and economic statements that are not easily substantiated and seem off-topic. 2014-08-25 10:53:48 -04:00

You can buy bitcoin using Purse.IO.
However I do not think it's a good idea to add purse.io to ways you can buy bitcoin because there is a chance that at any moment Amazon can shut them down and then the comment will become obsolete.

I took the Coinbase description from their own about page.  They are not an exchange, since you do not exchange bitcoin with other users, you buy and sell it directly with Coinbase.  The big value they bring is making it easy to use bitcoin.

Identifying the potential pains that Bitcoin can solve, quantifying how big of an impact the innovation can really have.  This should hopefully get the reader excited about the possible power their code can have, and encourage them even more to learn more about Bitcoin.
