Question 1 The name of the paper is "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System", and it can be found at https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf. Question 2 The purpose of the paper is to present a new system that uses cryptography to verify the authenticity of monetary transfers. It introduces the concept of a "blockchain". Question 3 It seems that the intended audience of the paper is for cryptography enthusiasts or certain people who may be willing to implement and adopt such a protocol. It doesn't seem to be making any attempt to push this system as something that the masses should adopt; he's simply presenting this as a method of making verifiable and secure transfers. Question 4 A. extremely important B. useful but not critical C. extremely important D. useful but not critical E. extremely important F. useful but not critical G. useful but not critical H. useful but not critical I. important if it's related to findings J. useful but not critical K. useful but not critical L. not very important M. not very important N. not very important O. useful but not critical Question 5 The most successful element of the paper was the fact that he stated key information clearly. As this is a paper related to a protocol, some of the most important things that should be covered include the motivation behind certain designs. This information is clearly presented, usually beginning with the problem that the presented solution is intended to solve, and then the actual solution. Question 6 The least successful element of the paper was integrating tables, diagrams, references into the text. Rather than using the diagrams effectively, the diagrams seem to be added into the paper after it has been written; the paper doesn't reference the images at all and there is an occasional caption to the image that explains what it means.
