Splitting chapter 5 into more chapters about monerobook HOT 3 OPEN

Nice! I like the two part book structure even better :)

Lets work towards it. Would appreciate feedback from other contributors @xmrhaelan

Hi pet3r-pan!

Your idea is fantastic, however I thought about diving the entire book in two section.

First section (for newbie) that includes

• the first chapter ("Introduction to cryptocurrency and privacy")
• the second chapter ("Getting started")
• the third chapter ("how Monero works")
• the fourth chapter ("Monero mining process")
• the fifth chapter ("Monero core and community")

Then there will be the second section (for technical people, developer or simply users that want to know more about Monero) that includes

• A little introduction to Maths and Cryptography basics (will it become a chapter? I don't know)
• the sixth chapter ("Monero's Blockchain Design")
• the seventh chapter ("Monero's private transactions")
• the eighth chapter ("Kovri and Monero P2P Network") not sure about this
• the ninth chapter ("Integrating Monero")

I am not sure about where we can put the chapter about Kovri and Monero P2P Network

And ... the tenth chapter ("Miscellaneous") that includes GUI and CLI tutorial

from monerobook.

Proposed structure for second edition (which is affirming again my previous comment ):

• 5th chapter: Introduction to Maths and Cryptography Basics (including examples), Hashing functions - I might need some help from MRL guys
• 6th chapter: Monero Blockchain design
• 7th chapter: Monero Private technologies
• 8th chapter: Monero P2P Network (which will include topics such as "broadcasting transactions");
• 9th chapter: Monero wallets (keys generation, calculation of balance, steps to create a transactions..)
