Topic: Missing Out The Important Topics!! (Read 785 times)

This has to be here - [Education] Bitcoin Privacy and Anonymity by @Husna QA and contributions by @DroomieChikito

I would start by commending you for taking out time to compile a robust resources for the community. Well-done.

I have a suggestion for a better organisations of these resources and materials.
There should be a categorisation of this materials based on various subjects. This is what I mean;
1. Mining threads should be categorized
2. Wallets threads should be categorized.
3. Pishing threads should be categorized.
3. Exchange threads should be categorized.

This will help people to easily find resources based on such system of categorization.

Thanks for the thread. Please post this on that Giveaway thread only. Now it is moved to Beginners section. So please post on this thread only -

We think there are many important things that we miss in this forum Thank you very much for the link We should all restart these topics without any scams But there is a lot of knowledge in this forum that is hard to find because it is hard to find Those who are big on the forum can use this knowledge again if they want.

With reference to your post your post on meta here is my thread and two thread made by others I consider helpful

Yes, you are right. The user who is searching for a particular topic can copy the topic(CTRL-C) and search by CTRL-F and CTRL-V. Also, he can search with the keyword(ex: bitcoin, wallet, etc), with that he can easily find the topic.

Your welcome. Yes, your list contains mixture topics and when someone would like to find a certain topic can't be seen faster to be able to spend more time learning rather than searching. Anyway, there's still a way to shorten the time spend finding the topic in your thread by clicking the browser's settings then find in page or CTRL + F shortcut key.

Thanks for your suggestion @nakamura12. The list contains mixture of all the topics. I agree that it would look better if I separate the topics but a lot of effort is required to do that. Next time I will keep your suggestion in mind and try to segregate the topics.

I have a suggestion to tell for your thread (about the list of important topics). Anyway, it's entirely up to you if you implement my suggestion but in my opinion it is much better than what you did. My suggestion is that you should have labeled the important topics to make it more easy to find which topic you are looking for. ONLY A SUGGESTION.

Fully agree with you OP that many great threads are forgotten and buried under a ton of other spammy meaningless threads or supermegathreads, which turned out to be a spam contest finally.


Again I agree with you that something should be done but this is not so easy and I am sure if there was any way to this, then it would be already implemented.

I thought about this a couple of times and maybe now when we have a merit system something can be done with the use of merit statistics and forum bots to scrap the best threads. Still, all older threads with every new week are harder to find and I don't think that somebody is searching for them to award with merits.

We have so much knowledge on the forum which is so hard to find. OP kudos for you, for trying to do something about it, so that the best threads do not disappear, like all the others from years ago.

Please let me know if I have missed any important topic.

Nice topic. Included in the list.



Thanks for the suggestion and the tool to check the top merited threads. It helps me a lot to find the good topics. Also, I am listing the topics which are really good and important. I am not just checking the merits on the thread.

Determining what is an important topic is pretty subjective of course, and thematic in the sense that people favour reading one type of content over other. List such as the one in the OP can help to detect some very relevant threads, although maintaining it is subject to spending quite a bit of time browsing around.

Merits as we know is an indicator (but not an infallible one) of threads that might be interesting. Not all interesting threads are merited, or at least not necessarily in large amounts, but even so, those that are have probably got something on the edge for them.

To that effect, you may at some point use this: https://public.tableau.com/shared/7SF7Q3DJD?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link
The third column shown (Top Merited Thread Ranking) displays the top merited threads (sum of all merits awarded within the thread, to any post). The list is logically very extensive, but you can use the filters to:

- Delimit the timeframe (displays threads that have received within that timeframe). Just move the slider on the date filter, click on a date to use the calendar, or type over the date itself.

- Delimit the list to a specific section/subsection (i.e. Bitcoin Discussion only, Economics, etc.)

If you click on a thread title from the list, you’ll get a pop-up that takes you to the OP within the thread (follow the “Go to post within thread” link).

Note: Data as of Friday 06/09/2019 – should be updated this evening or tomorrow at some point with the inclusion of this week’s data.

Try also to chech this thread of mine created months ago.
It is about for every passwords we use online, a thread about how strong passwords we are using.
[GUIDE] How to Create a Strong/Secure Password

Yes, you are right. That is the reason I created this topic. Even I was missing out many important topics and was thinking how to bring all the important topics at one place. Later I listed a few important topics and created this thread. I regularly update this thread with the list of useful topics. This will help the users who are new to this forum.

Almost everyone are missing out the useful topic on this thread regularly. The reason been that hundreds of topics are created on daily basis and it do appear on the first page. The more new topics are created daily, the old topics move backwards to other pages, which some users find it hard to read and post on
