We made a beautiful illustrated book on Bitcoin

Hey HN, For several years we tried to convince our relatives and friends of the importance of Bitcoin and its implications in their daily lives. We unfortunately failed to convince many of them :-) Having both of us had children recently, we came up with a last attempt at presenting Bitcoin. We decided to bring to life a book about Bitcoin that was as accessible as possible, featuring easy-to-understand concepts supported by beautiful illustrations. A book illustrated as one for children, explaining in the simplest possible terms the key ideas behind Bitcoin. We also wanted this book to be…

  • Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android▲1,521

    Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system.
