Just boarded an eleven hour flight to Cairo. Going to spend the whole time doing a final proof-read of Broken Money to find the straggling typos that me and my editor missed, so my formatter can fix them in the final manuscript.

It’s funny- no matter how many rounds of editing you do on a book, there are always still some there.

One never finish the book, one abandons it ... :-)

I’d say programmers looked for ways to create stateless digital money with cryptography rather than encryption.

exciting news, can't wait to read your book! will there be an option to pre-order through your website or will it be available to general public via amazon?

Enjoy your time in Egypt. Look forward to reading your book.

Lyn, you need to edit this chapter to be Chapter 21, even if you must skip over 20, like buildings with no 13th floor. ☺️ Bon voyage...

Its very similar to video editing: There's no such thing as being "done." You just get to a point where you are sick of trying to make it better and just have to let it go and move on to the next thing 🤣

When you read your own stuff you have a bias and your mind goes faster than you would like

ask chatGPT to find the typos

My wife proof read a friends book after having been through the publisher’s reviews. She handed over four pages of more issues 😂 Sure you’ll get them all Lyn. Look forward to reading it! Hoping it’ll be out before my holiday in the 3rd week of September? 😉

Happy travels! Book looks nice!

that's like bugs in computer software, you can never get rid of all bugs

That's a thick one! About 800 pages / 400k words? I love your writing your style nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a, i've noticed you start off with an analogy or an example and slowly get into a difficult topic and help people see that different perspective - its...

Could you use chatgpt to fix typos?

Yes, it's extraordinary how that happens. Typos are like socks - no matter how mindful you are, they slip through/away.

I'm looking forward to this one, Lyn. Have a safe flight.

Amazing. Safe travels

Nice display ... You are such a tease! Don't think you can find any error on pg 295 ;) Have a wonderful travel nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a!

Sound Money · 137w

Just spoke to a mate (non bitcoiner) regarding sovereignty. He was explaining to me how we are individually sovereign and it's the State's role to protect that axiom. Over the centuries, it's been bastardised where the government is now sovereign. I then explained having sound money goes a long w...

Safe travels. I’ve had some crappy air travels the last 2 years. Positive thoughts and well wishes for your flight schedule and your bags

Looking forward to it Lyn. What’s the page count ?

That's awesome! I am a proofreader and would be happy to take a look!

Graymalk · 136w

ChatGPT should be able to fix that.

SebastianEspunkt · 136w

very suitable to bring a book called "Broken Money" to Egypt. The despair of people with their governments, the military, the fruitless revolution, and how the rulers build useless megacities for themselves far away while Cairo looks like a Blade Runner set was impressive and saddening. Still a supe...

Can't wait to read it!
