Very easy to read and understand, this book is your ticket for the Monero world, I’m sure you wanna enjoy it!!!

Mastering Monero is well written and of course well-researched. The first couple chapters are excellent at showing newcomers the advantages of using Monero over fiat and other cryptos. I will certainly reference that next time I have a conversation about Monero or Bitcoin.

All of the information in the book is available online, but I think this format makes it even easier to absorb. I have been using Monero for a few years now and I still learned a few things from reading the book.

I recommend this to anyone who hasn't heard about crypto just as much as someone who's been involved for a while.

This book aims to be more of a technical how-to than something for the lay person. Though the first 1/3 of of the book provides a useful overview, it then quickly delves into the more technical aspects of using Monero, with most of the rest of the book focusing on code, and the command line. For those that really want to look at Monero "under the hood", this is a great way of helping to orient users with the basics. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero is a completely different codebase and design, so this book serves as a very convenient on-ramp for those that are used to Bitcoin, but want to get their feet wet with Monero. For those looking to find a guide on integrating, or interacting with Monero's blockchain, or codebase, this book serves as a great starting point. It is also a great introduction for those wanting to learn the basics about Monero's commandline for creating wallets, addresses and transactions which are slightly more complex in comparison to Bitcoin.

As someone very familiar with Monero and Bitcoin, I can see that the information in this book is accurate and up to date. Though I kind of wish it went into more depth, but it works very well as a primer for people that don't know where to start like developers or even users that want a more hands on approach, or fuller understanding.

As far as I'm aware, this is the only book of it's type out there right now, so it gets 5 stars from me as the book definitely delivers on giving people a running start on using Monero, and covers a whole range of areas that are burning topics for new users.

If you are interested in Monero--or cyryptocurrency in general--you should read this book. It's for everyone, with content that spans 1) using Monero to privately transfer value to 2) understanding the mathematical underpinnings of Monero's unique (as compared, say, to Bitcoin or Ethereum) algorithms to 3) understanding the open source software codebase behind Monero--for those interested in leveraging or adding to it. With this book, you will get a powerful toehold on using, understanding, and building the Monero software.

Maybe not in price per coin just yet, but this is what people with BTC think they have. Loving the reddit community as well.

This book provides a good overview of the Monero cryptocurrency. The author discusses how the Monero was designed to address a number of widely discussed problems that exist with Bitcoin. This book is required reading if you are planning to host a Monero node or work with the open-source Monero code.

As with the other cryptocurrencies like Etherium and Bitcoin, Monero can be fascinating for computer scientists. Monero addresses the problem of pseudo-anonymity that exists with many of the other crypto-currencies. It is easy to get sucked into the technical fascination of these currencies. Before you go down the rabbit hole, I recommend also reading David Gerard's book "Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain: Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum & Smart Contracts".

Very interesting book. I might even learn some c plus plus. Looks great crypto and very safe way of being private and anonymous.

The book has a nice gradient into the technical details of the software. Thank you to all who contributed writing this book.

Ich habe mir dieses Buch im Rahmen meiner Masterarbeit gekauft, da ich mehr über die Hintergründe und über die Technik herausfinden wollte.

Das Buch ist sehr einsteigerfreundlich und hat im späteren Verlauf auch genauere Erklärungen und Code ausschnitte, welche für ein tieferes Verständnis essentiell sind.

Allerdings ist das Buch nicht mehr ganz aktuell, da mittlerweile als POW Algorithmus nicht mehr CryptoNight, sondern RandomX verwendet wird. In dieser Hinsicht hätte ich mir eine detaillierte Erklärung zu RandomX gewünscht, da man ansonsten in der Dokumentation der Projekte graben muss :p

Alles in Allem muss ich sagen, dass das ein sehr gutes Buch ist, da selbst die simplen Hintergründe von Kryptowährungen erklärt und im späteren Verlauf die Techniken von Monero genauer erläutert werden.

Mastering Monero covers everything, and around halfway throughout the book, it ramps up quite quickly. I wasn't a fan of the second half, because I'm not interested in the cryptography; but, I'm glad it was part of the book for those who want to learn more, or if I have a change of heart and want to learn more about this matter. Very well made.

Me ha parecido muy interesante y, además, viene con ilustraciones que hace que entiendas mejor los conceptos que se explican.

Historically criminals have always been one step ahead of the law and before Bitcoin exploded in value it was mentioned in the same way Monero is currently being mentioned.

Invest in this currency now and when Web 3.0 goes live this currency will rapidly go up value. The main reason for this is that data protection and personal information privacy are key components of the information age.

Due to its privacy as well as the way it is built Monero can only really go up in value.

This book provides a heavily comprehensive guide as to what Monero is and specifically why it is superior to Bitcoin I would highly recommend reading this book.

Very good
