LOL all lazy assmilkers will jump to use chatGPT to get a summary and grab your bounty...
If you haven't read the book, how will you know the quality of the summary? I'm fine with people getting help from AI, but as I said, it will be judged by people who read the book.

I read them both you posted about.
The thing is that you encourage them not to read the books and just use the damn robot and not use their brains and hands to write it.

Look at @blocktock 's response. It proves that your lazy cynicism is bullshit.

Glad you got some value from it!
Any other books are on your hit-list? Enjoy using SN to house my fav quotes. Way more convenient than digging-out old notes or scribbled-on books.

I also posted a bounty this morning for The Mandibles. (They say it's just a fictional When Money Dies, under the impossible scenario that the future US collapse does not impact other countries.)
I may think of a few more. I want to read "The Block size Wars", "This Machine Kills Secrets" and "Tracers in the Dark," but I don't think a summary will suit my needs... Although perhaps a summary would be handy even if I do read the whole thing.
I was thinking of soliciting summary requests and trying to turn it into a business, but I didn't go forward with that project. You could! Maybe if you made your own SN post with a list of books you would be willing to summarize, and then you could try to crowd fund it.

It would be interesting to do a comparative review/summary of multiple popular Bitcoin books. I think there is a lot of overlapping content.

I would pay for a summary of the fiat standard!
reply
Fiat standard makes sense @Modus. As does the Bitcoin hitlist - agree on there being a lot of overlapping content and a lot more to learn from having all in one place.
Nice to know there's a niche demand for these things in the community, rather than the regular open-source software & podcasting content

Interesting idea, like it! Will see what I can do.
In terms of side projects, I've plenty to think about also. But keen to get back into the habit of reading. Mostly non-fiction. I have also had recommended to me 'Diamond Age' which is fictional and a long-read - but very topical at this time.

I would love a summary of the diamond age

Yes, that post seems to be a real proof of work.
Deserve the bounty.
