The battle for control of the Bitcoin protocol
Author: Jonathan Bier
Pages: 280
This book chronicles the Block Wars that raged from August 2015 to November 2017 within the Bitcoin community. On the surface, the battle was over the amount of data allowed in each Bitcoin block (the block size), but it revealed much deeper issues, such as who controls the rules of the Bitcoin protocol.
It is not possible to cover all the twists and turns of this extremely complex conflict, nor all the related quarrels, but I offer here a chronology of the most important events. This book presents some of the great figures who marked the conflict and covers some of the most acute phases of the struggle, both at the front and behind the scenes.
The book's narrative includes discussions with key players on both sides of the war, and explores their motivations, strategies, and thought processes as the grueling campaign unfolded.

Delivery to Relay Points and Lockers
Our goal is to let those who wish receive their order without revealing their personal details.
If you live in France: on the checkout page, choose the “Pickup point” tab and select the pickup point or locker you prefer.
If you live in Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland or Portugal: pickup points and lockers are available too, but the steps are different.
- Stay on the “Ship” tab. Do not use the “Pickup point” tab, it only works in France.
- Enter a normal street address in your country, close to the point you want if you prefer not to give yours: it is only used to find nearby points and calculate the rate.
- In the shipping methods that appear, choose “Delivery to a pickup point (choice after payment)”.
- Once payment is complete, the list of pickup points and lockers near that address is shown: pick yours.
