With BTC hitting a high of 14K USD and then hitting the cliff to drop down to 9.5K USD over the course of 3 days, I thought members might be interested in learning more about Bitcoin. I nominated:
The Book of Satoshi: The Collected Writings of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto
Welcome! As usual, this group read is to be selected by you, the members. The Open group read is the conventional group read wherein you can nominate any book.
Note: We also run another group read called the “Lesser-Known Books Group Read". Books by the same author cannot be nominated to both group reads in the same month.
* The nomination process ends on 23 January at 11:59PM Pacific Time.
* The final selection process ends on 31 January at 11:59PM Pacific Time.
* After the book has been selected, we will also nominate and select a matching film of the month.
If a dispute arises as to the qualifications of a book, then common sense and consensus would prevail. In the case of a deadlock, a moderator decision would be binding.
Nomination Process
1) Each member nominates one qualified book by placing it on the feb-2018-open-bom-noms bookshelf.
Note: An author may nominate their own book.
a) Go to the bookshelf by clicking the bookshelf link:
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
b) Find your book by typing its title in the Add books field and clicking Search.
c) To the right of your book, click either Add to group or Edit.
d) Select the feb-2018-open-bom-noms bookshelf to add your book to by clicking Choose shelves and checking feb-2018-open-bom-nominees. Make sure to also select To Read.
e) Click Close and then Save Group Book.
2) Authors must wait until the 6th month after one of their books has been chosen as a book of the month group read--on either the open or lesser-known group read--before they are eligible for nomination again. For example, for this month's group read, the most recent month for which an author's book could have been the group read is August 2017.
Final Selection Process
To promote the broadest participation possible, we use a form of approval voting. In this voting system, you should vote for all of the books that you want to read. The nominee with the most votes would become the BoM. In this way, you don't need to vote for a book just because you think it will win even though you'd rather read another one. Instead, you can vote for both of them!
