But clearly a better quality book with the same name can be written by a person that understands that the average paragraph contains at least three or four sentences. I can write one. I've never written a book before, but fuck it.

What topics would you like to be included in a book titled "Monero Standard"?

I haven’t read much of the “monero standard”. I found the writing style abhorrent.

If i were to write one, I’m thinking more of a general history of crypto and bitcoin, why crypto has value, and how privacy and fungibility is important in a crypto. In the middle maybe giving a practical guide on privacy, advocating to leave a small digital footprint, and using software like tor, i2p, and VPN’s, maybe even a capstone, a guide on how to torrent without getting letters from lowlife lawyers.

Maybe in the later chapters, an account of the impact of monero in the world, some stats on its adoption in darknet markets, how to buy monero, arguments why monero isn’t a crypto for criminals, and possible uses of it that can improve society.

It’ll be a book targeted at the layman trying to understand the crypto side of the internet, not just monero.
