Mastering Bitcoin

Mastering Bitcoin is a book for developers, but the first two chapters cover bitcoin at a level that is approachable to non-programmers. Anyone with a basic understanding of technology can read the first two chapters and get a great understanding of bitcoin.

This repository contains the complete first edition and the draft of the second edition, currently in progress, scheduled for publication in Q1'2017.
