Topic: Help a newbie with links to useful threads - page 2. (Read 646 times)

Well said i think if  you don't know your way round the forum, you need to take your time to read and understand what the forum is all about before making any post, so as to avoid making a wrong quote.however if you're not familiar with other board you can stick to your local board, but you also need to keep visiting some other board so as to learn how to use the forum.

Op if you can stick to your local board for the case effective communication there's nothing bad in doing that since you re unfamiliar with the forum yet but posting in your local board shouldn't stop you from visiting other board to read and learn while you learn patiently on how to uae the forum. You can respond to threads that you understand what the topic is all about but don't border responding to what you don't know so that you won't be tagged as someone who's going off point.

No problem. 

IMO = in my opinion

IMHO = in my humble opinion

IIRC = if I recall correctly

CMIIW = correct me if I'm wrong

BTW = by the way

There are many others that are not related to crypto slangs but for you to have an idea of what the others are, you can check this list of it: https://kb.iu.edu/d/adkc

If you can express your words to your local go ahead there's nothing on that because they will guide you with your concerns, if you think that information is not enough you don't need to hesitate to ask a question here in the community, that's the reason why we have a forum, to engage, and share information. Of course, add on it is you must need to follow the rules most of which are in the pinned thread or link the link given by the other members. For now, you get overwhelmed with the information but sooner or later you will understand that knowledge. Enjoy the learning here.

You're welcome to the forum, this is the best place for you as a newbie to learn, increase your crypto knowledge and join in discussions with quality posts, most of us joined the forum without any crypto knowledge, and today we can make meaningful contributions, so don't worry , with time you'll get into the groove.

About where to start, I believe that you're in the right place in this beginners and help section, your local board is another good place to start, feel free to ask questions in any thread that you don't understand and experienced members will guide you through. Don't limit yourself to this forum alone, regards learning about Bitcoin and the crypto space, explore other avenues like Google, if you don't understand anything, then start a topic and ask questions.

You are welcome to this forum,earning here in the forum is really easy if you stick to forum rules, you won't have any complications learning here. So I advise you take the forum rules serious as breaking any of them can lead to DT member giving you a tag a that can be the end of the reputation of your account. To succeed knowledge from here, you just need to stay on tack, read and if you encounter any complications along the way, asked questions, and we'll be ready to help at any time. E joy your days here in this forum.

A lot of members already reply to the rules here in the forum, just make sure to follow that so that you can avoid getting banned here in the forum, The Local Board is actually a good one where you could start here in the forum, all of the post there on native language so you're not gonna have a hard time understand it, plus you could interact with your fellow countrymen on a discussion about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, etc.

I mostly recommend that newbies to start investing already in cryptocurrency, I mean there is no actual way around it, you are not going to learn it truly unless you're going to actually experience it yourself, you could easily start at a very small amount of investment doing Dollar Cost Averaging so that you could lower the risk of your investment in cryptocurrency, with your journey that is where this forum comes in, there are a lot of experience members here in the forum that could easily help you if you encounter something or wanted to learn something on cryptocurrency you could easily make a thread or topic here in the forum asking and learn about it through the help of the members here.

Also, you dont need to worry about the ranks here in the forum, you're eventually going to rank up for sure as you post a lot you're going to get merits, etc.

I will not advice that you stick to your national board alone because Sticking to just your national board alone won't help you grow.  If you must grow in the forum, then you should spread accross different boards in the forum. For now, you can frequent your local board while you  visit other boards once in a while to read posts and follow up threads. You do not have to be in a hurry to know everything in this forum because you might end up limiting what you can actually learn if you do not take things slowly. Learning never ends, even the legendary members here are not above learning,  they learn new stuffs everyday in the forum. Just be dedicated and committed then you will grow. Welcome to the forum newbie!

When you are in rush to learn everything about the forum, you will end up being confused, but just try and navigate through the forum gradually, the more time spent here, the more you will keep on understanding the forum. Definitely when you join the forum newly you will be confused, but with time you will see that the forum is not a difficult place.

You don’t have to stick to only your board, but if you notice that you are learning faster in your local board, then you can be more active there, since it will be easier for you to learn in your local language, but that shouldn’t stop you from posting in other sections, there are things you will learn there, and won’t be in your local board.

There are rules and regulations guiding the forum, so you can just go to different sections to check them out, and make sure you don’t go against any of the rules because you will be punished for that.

Welcome here, OP (Original Post(er); double meaning), you don't need to rush it and there's no obligation to understand the forum first day you registered, nor do you need to post immediately. But hey, you might feel some excitement, that's fine.

Did you not see the sticky post from Lauda right in this Beginners & Help section? Newbies - Read before posting

You got links for forum rules, netiquette and more. Try not to break forum rules, that's probably the first thing to grasp and understand. Rules may be a boring thing, but in such a forum they are a necessity or we'll drain in chaos, spam and worse.

To learn about Bitcoin, I recommend https://learnmeabitcoin.com, it's fun, it's interactive here and there and the creator Greg deserves a coffee or beer for his awesome Bitcoin treasure trove.

A lot of topics have already been covered in various places of this forum. The difficulty lies in finding the right spots, threads and posts. You can search this forum nicely and with good performance at https://ninjastic.space, I prefer this over the forum's in-built search function.

Take your time to get to know this forum better. Read, read, read... we can't read and understand for you, it's that simple.

"IMO" and "IMHO" are abbreviations, basically internet shorthand for "In My Opinion" and "In My Humble Opinion".

Speaking of which, here's another interesting topic link that you can bookmark:

Thank you buddy for sharing this link.Thanks for letting me know, what is the meaning of IMO?
Thank you for sharing the link to the rules and guidelines for the forum, I find the posting etiquettes really interesting, a bit difficult to comprehend but yet educating.
I have also wondered why users have different positions (rank) but now I know how it works.


Everyone; thanks for the help and tips.
 

We welcome you to come over to BitcoinTalk.org. It's a pleasure to see. I am glad to see that another member has joined this great forum. 
 
Mate should not be worried at all. You can ask questions without any hesitation. A local board or thread is better for you in that it will be in your native language and it will be easy for you to understand, whereas in other sections or boards, you will require English. etc can ask questions. 
 
My personal preference is that I should post outside of the local board or share knowledge on questions because outside of the local board you can find many high-ranking members who have mountains of knowledge. which i think is very beneficial for a newbie it can facilitate the newbie in knowledge collection.

Whichever is comfortable to you just stay on the topic but if you've got some off topic questions, just take note of that and tell it when you ask more specific questions.

We're a community, an organization doesn't sound good IMO.

And we have those rules and of course aside from those guidelines, you have your judgement and others judgement that you have to consider as well.

I think you better start here: Newbies - Read before posting

Among those localities you knows your country so you can stick onto your country don't try to involve yourself with other country you can't speak or write where you would want to communicate using translator, the forum doesn't allow that you can use translator to read text but do not involved yourself with any discussion that is not english or your local language. Again, this section is the right section to remain as a beginner you can read lot of post over here and I know as newbie there are lots of questions you would want to asked just for you to get clarified but I will tell you to find time over here because similar questions has been asked and you just need to thoroughly go through this section to find them out otherwise I don't think there is any need for you to create any additional topic asking question rather than just going straight to those question they have already asked and pick the areas you wanted to asked read them and understand it more better.

Welcome to this fantastic forum Mate, I understand your statement mate. Always feel free to concentrate on what brought here. What you are talking about everyone here has passed through it, and that's how every newbie finds this forum so difficult for the first time, but one thing is certain: you will never regret joining this forum, since you cannot know you continue to be in this condition because it is not permanent  is temporary. You can only be on it for a short time.

What you request for here, is some links and guidelines and I can see many of the users have provided you with so many links, which, if you take your time and go through those links, it will make your journey very easy. Everything now is a gradual process, just endure with little time, they can also count you as a high-ranking members. And again we've different types of boards here, which if you try to visit them and read the paste thread, it can be really helpful, which will definitely lead you to become an expert.

what I will advise you to do is that you should be able to read across all the sessions in this community to be able to understand exactly what is the appoint of you and the what is the objective once you are clicking around sections of this community you will master, the environment and this community that making you to feel like it is strange to you, after you have take your time to observe it very well you will, acclimatize with the features of the community one after the order

You are welcome, Op. I can really see the seriousness in you by starting to approach like this. Now I can see that my followers and other members have provided you with different links. I think my own is not necessary again because it contains the same information, but my advice for you is to go through those links one after the other and that I will really a great help to you. When going through these links, if you come across anything you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask questions, and I believe a lot of members are there to help.

Exactly, that’s the right approach that is expected from a serious newbie that has a goal target to meet in the forum. Understanding the forum layout, pattern and mode of arrangement and how the discussions is going on is very important, and also the rules and regulations of the forum to avoid violating any of them.

Some newbies come with different aim to the forum, some come with the aim of making quick money while some come with the aim of learning something new or to improve their bitcoin and crypto knowledge. Nevertheless, these links should be enough for a newbie to start his or her crypto journey.

That’s how it should be at first, a new user is supposed to find it difficult here, the whole forum layout and arrangement should be a new thing to you so it is supposed to take a little time to get familiar with it so don’t make a fuss out of it it’s quite normal and with time you will get used to the forum.

The forum is a discussion place where people share ideas about understanding bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and it is a place where one can easily get educated about bitcoin, it is not an organization or an office as you might see it but of course it surely has its own rules and regulations to help keep things in order. I can see some members sharing you some useful links already, you should check them out they would be really helpful.

I don’t know your purpose of being here but if you are new to cryptocurrency and want to learn about bitcoin learnmeabitcoin is a place you can start from as a newbie.
Also you can ask questions on https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ or you can carryout search on this forum using https://ninjastic.space/search which i think is more effective than using the forum search tool.
