Wrong name in Chapter 8 about grokkingbitcoin HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for your report. Where in chapter 8 is this?

from grokkingbitcoin.

In the paragraph below Figure 1

from grokkingbitcoin.

In the figure, It's Alice who is sending money to Bob. But in the paragraph which follows the figure, it's mentioned that the money comes out of John's wallet. That's what I meant.

If you want I'll edit the name and submit a PR.

Ok, I see what you mean. But the error is the other way around: The paragraph speaks about the transaction from John to the Café, but it mistakenly says that Bob is the recipient: "with Bob's wallet being notified" should be "with the cafe's wallet being notified".

Admittedly, it's a bit confusing that we talk about a John->cafe when the picture right above is about Alice->Bob. The picture is an overview picture that we've used through every chapter as a map of what the chapter will cover, the "You are here" annotations. I'll make a fix.

Thanks so much for reporting this!

Well, it's my duty to report you! After all, you've helped me a lot in understanding the Bitcoin Protocol. That too for free [couldn't afford printed copy :( ]

Thanks a lot, man... From the bottom of my heart!!

@srivathsanvenkateswaran You're most welcome. I love that you can read the book for free, that's far more rewarding to me than the small bucks i get for each sale. Open source is the way.
