added a tentative list of topics which are already grouped a little bit towards potential chapters. this list will most likely be extended in the future before it will be prioritized and filtered and structured. Now is the best time to propose topics and make inputs

== list of topics
|
||||
|
||||
This is a list of grouped topics that might be covered in the book.
|
||||
It will lead to the creation of an index
|
||||
The grouping is obviously not unique and there is no notion of priority compiled to this proposal.
|
||||
Some topics occur in several groups.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Review of Bitcoin
|
||||
Review of some mechanics and terms from Mastering Bitcoin. This would probably be rather technical.

=== Motivation: Why the Lightning Network
|
||||
|

* Scale Payments (amount of possible payments independent of block size / data base size)
|
