I've been doing some reading up on Bitcoin and to be honest I'm more confused now than when I started. I figured the best thing to do is set something up and go from there. Have a starting point you may say. Like everything else online people only bother to post about something if they have experienced a problem, when everything is working well they tend not to bother.
I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the best wallet, minor and resources for a first time user who knows very little about bitcoin. I feel I will learn a lot more once I get started. oh and I'm running windows as well.
All tips and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
First of all, welcome to the bitcointalk forum where you can find everything you want/need to know about bitcoin. Second, for the wallet I'd recommend you blockchain.info. For the starting with btc, you can join a signature campaign here, you can find them
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 here. Also, you can use some faucets to feel what's it like to send, recieve or to do anything with bitcoins. I will post you a small guide for the novices with faucets.
First of all this can get you a fair amount of free bitcoins if you are patient, so don't expect to get rich of it, it's still free btc so let's grab as much as we can.
Second, we will be combining a few sites to max the profit.
-freebitco.in ( freebitco.in ) this site can payout really high amount but you'll need to have a few referals in order to do so, but it's still one with the best and comfirmed payouts
-dailybitcoins.org ( dailybitcoins.org ) This is one of my favorite btc sites. Request a payment every hour, try to unleast, to recieve a payment and a VOUCHER. Now, redeem those vouchers and you can later sell them at Peerbet.org (just type in hte chat @voucher and paste your voucher code) or you can advertise with those vouchers. It is good to combine freebitco.in with coinurl and then put that shortened link, so you also get btc when someone views your ad
-Coinurl.com ( Coinurl.com ) great site if you have your blog or a website or in a combination with dailybitcoins. Don't have anything else much to say about this
-CoinAd.com ( CoinAd.com ) My favorite site. Very simple PTC faucet with a fairly high payouts that you can earn in 2-3 days (payouts take some time). Strongly Recomend this one
-bitcrate.me and coinbox.me ( bitcrate.me ) ( coinbox.me ) Best colection of faucets, you can hit the minimum withdraw within a few hours and payouts are farely fast, every 6 hours I think. I also STRONGLY recomend these two
This can help you on the start. LAter, when you get more into bitcoin, you will see new posibilities. Untill then, Good luck!
