Article evaluation
Article evaluation
[edit]My topic is Bitcoin. When I evaluate article through history, I picked serval to do comparison, but did not find any useful or anything catch my eyes immediately. However, there is one thing interests me the most, which is the description about bitcoin's stability compare to gold. It interests me because people compare gold and bitcoin all lot. Cause bitcoin mining can be hard to understand for people have no coding knowledge. I noticed the first version when the editor describe gold and bitcoin, he wrote:"" For question： Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? I randomly checked a few links, the 44th link does not work. It concerns me because the resources should be able to explain more about what "Bitcoin-Qt" is, but the page is not available anymore. I also noticed the 28th citation under Virtual Currency page is not working. The page is a 404 page. PurpleMercury (talk) 02:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC) @FULBERT:
