Mastering Bitcoin 2nd Edition and Mastering the Lightning Network 2-Book Set by Andreas M. Antonopoulos

Condition: New
Format: Paperback
Publisher: O'Reilly Media

Two technical guides to Bitcoin from Andreas M. Antonopoulos, covering the base layer and the payment layer built on top of it. Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain, second edition, is the base-layer reference. Mastering the Lightning Network, written with Olaoluwa Osuntokun and Rene Pickhardt, covers the second-layer protocol for instant Bitcoin payments.

Mastering Bitcoin works through keys and addresses, wallets, transactions, the Bitcoin network, mining and consensus, and Bitcoin Script, with worked code examples. Mastering the Lightning Network explains payment channels, routing, onion-routed payments, invoices and the protocol suite that lets Bitcoin payments settle off-chain.

Written for developers, engineers and technically minded readers who want to understand how the protocols work rather than how to trade. Useful as a desk reference for anyone building on Bitcoin or Lightning.
