BitPal Flipstarter updates and FAQ

We’ve gotten some good questions on the Flipstarter for BitPal and I figured it’s a good idea to collect them in a single place. I would’ve wanted to add it as an update to the Flipstarter itsel...

(comment) Thank you for your input. I'm opposed to any form of KYC/AML for this project. It might be possible to require an account (like Mullvad does, even without having an email) and make the public API...

(comment) Indeed. Other funding ideas I have: Offer premium support (this might also include developing an entire website or new advanced features) Require a subscription for the publicly available RE...

An update on my book 'Why Cryptocurrencies?'

Five months ago I gloriously declared that "my book was done". Since then I've been working hard to finish the book . Sorry that's a bit of a lie, I've had a nice long vacation where I didn't work...

(comment) Careful, he's trying to mislead you. Miners have always been able to donate funds to developers directly, the IFP would not change that.

(comment) TLDR Bitcoin Cash is centralized and the solution is to move the entire community to a new coin, losing the all-imoortant network effect effectively gutting it. This is a non-solution and if it's...

(comment) While the web version will always be free, I plan do release it as an ebook and a print book too, which won't be free.

@jonas_h 3 years ago

(comment) I might do that yes. My plan is also to make the digital formats available to buy from my site in a pay what you want scheme, but I haven't decided exactly how yet.

(comment) Currently it's only available online. I'm planning to release it as an ebook and a pdf, but I don't know when that will happen.
