Topic: Let's start the journey of working with Bitcoin by following the forum rules. - page 2. (Read 348 times)

a good first step if you start by studying the forum rules first, it will be good for your next journey in the forum, so that you are more careful when you already know what you can and cannot do.

I suggest you, focus on your interests in the forum first. There are lots of topics discussed on the forum, you don't need to follow them all, it will actually make you confused if you don't master them. it is better to focus on a few points if you are interested in Bitcoin or mining and even Bitcoin trading. You can go to forums that discuss it. You can use the search feature to find more specific topics you want to read about.

When you start setting foot in a new place, the first thing you need to do is read all the rules listed on the notice board. After understanding all the rules in that place, you have to get used to integrating with the people you are there. Of course, as a foreigner or new arrival, you need help from residents who have lived there for a long time.

The atmosphere of sharing has left a beautiful impression for members who have succeeded in gaining knowledge about Bitcoin, you can also be like them if you really have the intention to learn. If you have just started studying Bitcoin, of course you will be curious about what Bitcoin is, why people are so enthusiastic about getting Bitcoin, how to get it and where is a safe place to store it. These are all the basics you need to learn, if you still feel confused, don't hesitate to ask.

Learning bitcoin or embarking on the journey of bitcoin, doesn’t require you to follow the forum rules, many guests learn here without creating accounts. The rule is meant for account owners like myself and you to keep the forum clean. Contributing on bitcoin related discussions is great in helping you understand bitcoin faster. And participating in the practical aspect of the bitcoin technology also helps to create a long lasting experience with the other members of the forum. Who, like a voluntary duty, derive joy in helping newbies and members to comprehend the idea and future of bitcoin technology. It’s great that you've read the rules, you only need it to participate in the discussion here safely, without breaking any rule that can ban your account. The contents here are too many, so get started with the few and simple threads, ask questions where possible and expect to see valuable responses that’ll make here a quality learning place for you. Good luck!

Honestly this post looks like it was made to fish merit. This is how I see this post “Oh look at me I’m not like the other newbies who don’t read the forum rules, I’m a good newbie and should get merit”

Even though you didn’t say the exact words and there was no mention of merit, your topic comes off as an attempt to fish merits. Newbies creating topics about plagiarism and writing patterns is a common method used by alt accounts.

What you must know about the forum here is that there is nothing too new and there's nothing too old here about the rules the problems is that you newbies always wanted an easy going life whereby you just suddenly want to be like others without knowing there are prizes to pay here. And these prizes includes devoting yourself to first discover where you are and then followed by the orderliness of the rules and then looks at where their discussion are channeling to before jumping into discussion or going elsewhere to source information to share here. Apparently here is the number places that highly prioritize rules and orderliness whomever that can't maintain and cultivate a reading mentality would always finds it difficult to scale through this forum which I know too well that here is a free place but the ability to remember some of the rules and abides to them is the major headaches.

Working with Bitcoin by following the forum rules? it's obvious you're refer to signature campaign

There's no such working with Bitcoin except you're a miner and I believe you're not.

Moreover learning and start your journey in Bitcoin space doesn't require you to understand this forum rules, you don't have to create a new account or you can just become a silent reader.

Welcome OP. It is nice having you here. As a matter of fact, all you have said is the raw truth and nothing different from the truth. You know it is normal that every organisation, platforms, groups etc all have rules, guidelines and principles which they must abide by to keep them together and for things to work orderly and accordingly. Same is applicable here and for the fact that you took such step, it shows that you are willing and ready to learn more about bitcoin and this platform. As i can see you already have started doing that. However, some links have already been posted here by members which would be of help to you and i believe if you read them accordingly, you would benefit from them.

Avoid plagiarism here because the community frowns at it and if caught in the act might result to you likely being tagged. So therefore, you should do well to always reference your post if you copied it from else where so that it would not make you face some backlash here. As a newbie, what you will just have to do now is concentrate on reading, learning to gain more knowledge. You can ask question here if you feel there is anything you are lacking in knowledge here and you want to get clarification on.

Lastly, I do not know where you are from but i will advice you to locate your local board as there is a local board session where one can freely interact with their locals and also communicate with their local language for better and easier understanding. Here you can meet with other members you would also guide you through your stay here.You can as well ask question there as it bothers you.

Generally I seriously think why you need to create this topic, fishing merit?

Rule #1!


This is the exact low-value topic we need to keep off this forum, everyone coming here as a "newbie" and telling how important it is to follow rules!
Lock the topic!

Bitcointalk rules are the same as those you might find in any forum, but the administration here is serious about implementing them, unlike other forums. The plagiarism policy is very strict, with less severe policies for spam and AI posts, in which you receive a warning or the post will be deleted. The only unusual thing that you should be aware of is plagiarism, which leads to you being banned without any warning, but all the other rules are simple and should be followed by anyone who wants a healthy discussion.

This happened to me when I’m still newbie and don’t know what I actually searching here in the forum. I discover this forum 2015 but I didn't create an account since I don't know exactly what to do here while I can still browse all the post available on all the board.

I have courage to register in the forum after I already find my interest in crypto and to determine which I really like to discover here. On my case, I'm interested on altcoin trading on c-cex and at the same time joining on hyip and doubler. These is what makes me pursue Bitcointalk and later discover more on Bitcoin since it's the primary discussion here.

Determine what you really and search it so that you can have reason on your stay here. Browsing tons of post and discussion will surely makes you lost since you don't have any idea what they are talking. Focus on one topic at a time.

Nothing you said was wrong, you’re on the right path.

But you should keep in mind that being familiar with the forum rules won’t make you know more about bitcoin automatically, so as you’re getting to know more about the forum make sure you read about bitcoin so that when you can now easily navigate around the forum you will also have something to offer to discussions Aswr in what you’ve learned so far, so do well to keep learning.

This might not be related to your topics but here’s a list of links that will help you improve your knowledge, and keep in mind that no one here is perfect so if you encounter any problems do well to use the search option and if you still couldn’t get any solutions then go ahead and create a thread like you just did, but make sure you kind the type of threads you create so that you won’t end up creating threads every two minutes which will later turn to spam.

After joining the community, I was confused by so many posts about Bitcoin. Where to start, where to end, which one to read first, which one to read quickly, etc. I lost interest in reading my posts. Just then, it occurred to me that it wouldn't be this way; I have to start from scratch, and to maintain the order and beauty of a place, I have to first obey the rules of that place. Only then can I propel myself to my next step.
