Is this the final version?
I don't think it will be final for a long time, because I haven't really defined what "done" means. I still think what's there is useful, and provides a new, material improvement over a lot of existing books, despite not being anywhere near done. Plus, it's free :-)
For what it is worth, this hit HN about 8 months ago and garnered a healthy amount of discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7430946
Does anyone know how this compares to Coursera course [1] or [2] + [3]?

I've taken Dan's crypto class ([2]), so I think I can weigh in.
Obvious difference: not organized as a MOOC. Whether that is good or bad is up to you.
Focus difference: I think Crypto 101 is targetting applied crypto more, whereas the Coursera classes take a more classical introduction. There is nothing wrong with either approach, in my opinion. Just a difference in focus.

Udacity also has a applied cryptography, I haven't tried. but it's good if someones has feedback.

I have heard good things about [2] from colleagues. Also, Boneh is a capable cryptographer.
[3] has never been available while this seems only temporarily unavailable.
[1] is starting next week and I was considering spending time on it. I'd really appreciate any feedback from those who have taken it!

Oh, thanks. At first I thought it was satirical. Maybe a jab at the imperfections of crypto implementations, but I guess I was reading too far into it.
i had the same issue --- hit refresh a couple of times and i went through

Sorry! Wasn't expecting the HN hordes. Temporarily moved to Github: https://crypto101.github.io/

Sorry, man. Wasn't expecting the HN flood :) I've put it on Github now. Try again? https://crypto101.github.io/
Yep, the flood has subsided. It works now :)
Sounds good, I'd love to see more such hackers opening up on cryptography...
I've been looking for something like this for ages, thank you very much.

You can get the PDF for now from here: https://9d0df72831e4b345bb93-4b37fd03e6af34f2323bb971f72f0c0...
EDIT: Unfortunately I am on conference wifi, so, might take me a while.
EDIT2: Now on Github. https://crypto101.github.io/
