In the ASICBoost section, I think it would be good to add more detail on what ASICBoost does, and the allegations(?) that led to the company's response. In the IPO section, what is a dual-class share? Is there a Wiki article to link to or could you explain further? Overall, I think the article is good. It would be helpful for the readers to have other Wikipedia links and further detailed explanations. Hyeonjungko (talk) 16:18, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
Peer Review 10.24.18 from Kyle Riggs
[edit]General Writing comments:
-"They originally met while Zhan was trying to raise money for the startup, however after discovering Bitcoin and becoming the first person to translate Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin white paper into Chinese, he approached Zhan for help in developing a new ASIC chip capable of mining bitcoin, at which point Bitmain was founded." ---This sentence is a little unclear who the "he" is and could likely be broken up into several sentences
-"In April of 2017, Bitmain released a blog post "Regarding Recent Allegations Smear Campaigns" responding to Gregory Maxwell's proposal.[9] " ---Add some more background to this section about what Maxwell's proposal was/ general explanations for people who don't know anything about this history.
-"Bitmain have also invested heavily into Bitcoin cash" ---Grammatical error
-"Bitmain produces many different miners from miners, to power supplies, to mining router" ---should this be "Bitmain produces many different products* from miners, to power supplies, to mining router"?
-"Bitmain operates BTC.com.[59] After Bitmain acquired Blocktrail, they gradually merged their wallet services and its block explorer into BTC.com.[60] BTC.com is also one of the biggest mining pool which launched September of 2016. [61] The source code for the pool is available on GitHub under the MIT license. [62] Bitmain also operates Antpool, another one of the biggest pools for mining. [59]" ---This section seems a little disjointed and could be more clearly organized from the start. Maybe adding a sentence or 2 at the beginning that summarize/introduce the section would help.
Overall Comments: I like the article and think it is very well organized. It deals with a technical company/ products, but explains them in ways that are easy to understand. The information is brief and very easy to read. I would focus on making some of your subcategories clearer and make sure that everything has an easily understood main idea that is clearly connected to the company. If possible, try adding a picture of one of their products for reference. Very good use of sources. Things you could consider adding about the company: # of employees, current executives (same as founders or different), initial funding, company mission statement etc. Great job so far!
