What people are saying
blockchain technology
Thank you for the pretty detailed introduction into bitcoin's workings and its potential pitfalls and advantages, as well as open questions for blockchain technology and decentralization.
very clear lessons about bitcoin and block Very good introduction into blockchain technology.
Definitely worth studying if you are interested in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
If you want to learn the fundamentals of blockchain technology and bitcoin, however, I heartily recommend.
A good general introduction to bitcoin, and blockchain technology.
Highly recommended for developing a holistic view on Bitcoin technology & its future (even for non IT professionals) This is a great course, I recommend it for anyone interested in blockchain technology.
Excellent intro course into blockchain technology and potential applications could be built on top of it.
of course it is hard to keep the course up to date althogh probably this course is still one of the best resources to learn bitcoin/blockchain technology for people with basic programming skills in Java.
I came to this course with more of an interest in blockchain than in the cryptocurrencies which are built on the blockchain technology.
This course is a very good introduction to blockchain technology and popular in nowadays Bitcoin currency.
I learned a lot of new things about the Blockchain technology and I also learned many things from the assignments.
Great course , very informative and a good general introduction to bitcoin, and blockchain technology Thanks for lecturers highly recommended.

bitcoin and blockchain
too abstract and the ol test is full of bug Absolutely essential for everyone who wants to know everything about Bitcoin and blockchain.
The minor drawbacks of the course were the exclusive use of Java for the programming assignments and the fact that the material was not updated from the year 2015. excellent introduction to bitcoin and blockchain technologies, take advantage of this free course!
Incredible oportunity good lectures and programming assignments to unterstand the basics of bitcoin and blockchain technology.
An excellent introduction to BitCoin and BlockChain but this is very dated now, the field has been moving really fast since it is quite nascent and I feel this course should have been updated atleast once by now.
Very useful information about bitcoin and blockchain in general.
The technical treatment is hands on and gives a really good fell for how bitcoin and blockchain works compared to several other sources where treatment is superficial.There are several parts of the course I was not able to get a clear understanding - such as implementation of the actual bitcoin core in the stack based script.
Good course to learn cryptocurrency basics and know about Bitcoin and blockchain basics..The programming assignments were challenging and helped with coding skills.
Apart from that, it gave me quite some good knowledge about Bitcoin and Blockchain Very high quality course.

very good course
Very good course just for get brief overview.
very good course Great introduction to cryptocurrency technologies.
Very good course for freshers The course covers not just mechanics of bitcoin and some altcoins per se, but also explains philosophy behind block chain, reasons why particular design decisions were made, alternatives considered and how the system protects itself from possible attacks.
I do believe I understand some of it.I am truly surprised.Doug Martin Very good course - I finally fully understand how bitcoins work!
Very good course, I really liked the course, I am currently a full-time online student and I seek to enroll in other helpful and very interesting courses that I can actually feel that I can get use of in the future and this course was exactly that.
Very good course, but be prepared to do some non-trivial java programming as part of the assignments.
A very good course.

insight into
A very good deep insight into the realm of crypto currency and blockchain technologies This was a tedious and boring course!
Not as technical as I have thought at the first sight, but still gives pretty deep insight into the field considering the course was taught 3 years ago and the cryptocurrency community has undergone a massive change!
Excellent This course gives quick and good insight into crypto currency basics.
Provides great insight into Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies.
The course provided a great insight into the bitcoin domain and related aspects.

block chain
should not be based only on java - but should allow pseudo code assignments A very concise and detailed insight into cryptocurrecies, block chain and the applications thereof using Bitcoin as a platform to explain.
Excellent The course is good because it covers all areas about bitcon technology, block chain and decentralisation from the past to the future.
this course is really useful,and i believe the block chain will be more well-known in the future Extremely informative and comprehensive.

well structured
Thorough in content and very well structured, this course takes you from the basics of cryptography to a sweeping overview of how Bitcoin and cyptocurrencies work, their ecosystems, impact, political effects, ramifications, potential and more.
Faculty - 10/10Course support - 10/10Concept explanation - 10/10Textbook and reference material - 10/10 Very informative and well structured course.
Course has very good content and well structured.
overall excellent Well structured, good explanations.
It´s well structured and easy to do it in idle times

too much
nice Assignments were vague and too much time had to be spent on unnecessary things like browsing forums.
I wasted a lot of time doing the homework that didn't teach me too much.
intrigued by underlying technology and course hits the nail with perfect balance of technical but not too much details.
Too much time wasted debugging grader, resolving ambiguities between theory and assignments.
It is difficult to complain too much about a free course, but I expected more from a course carrying the name Princeton.

computer science
The assignments are rather hard, and you have to have a fairly strong computer science background in order to complete them.
High quality materials (it's a pity that the lecture slides aren't available for separate download, though).The owners of the course went great lengths to ensure even people without a deep computer science or programming background can avail of the more generic concepts (even though some level of familiarity seems to be implicitly assumed to be able to pass the assignments, which however are optional).I highly recommend this course.
Need to have some computer science background.
I think any academic who wants to start writing about blockchain and comes from a discipline different than computer science or mathematics should watch this as a prerequisite.

unit tests
(-: Assignment code is a little unclear, and could be better documented, providing unit tests to the students could also help improve the quality of the submissions It's a good course to get a grip on the fundamentals of cryptocurrency, beyond pure technology.But the content must be updated, and practices are no well designed according to the flow of the course.
Would be a plus to be able to run some unit tests locally.
Comprehensive and interesting course, covering BitCoin related topics in an easy to comprehend way.One thing that can be improved are programming assignements - it would be much easier if there would be project (Eclipse, IntelliJ, maven, ...) and unit tests provided.
Programming exercises could be structure better and unit tests could be exposed to students.

familiar with
Please be aware you need to be fairly familiar with Java if you wish to be successful in this class.
After completing several program assignments you will be really familiar with blockchain technology.
Through this course, I get familiar with the basic and advance concepts of the bitcoin, blockchain and somehow the whole cryptocurrency, I learned a lots form it.
I would recommend adding to course more small coding assignments to get familiar with blockchain and bitcoin platform in a more practical way.
