Updated accordingly, many thanks!
There are already many guides for newbies from senior members and forum moderators, so I don't think it is necessary to further confuse them with topics like this...
Once again, expressing your personal opinion is fine, but this one has nothing to do with newbies so I suggest you edit the title of the topic.
The topic is not contradicting any existing topics. It is also not giving directions or instructions to newbies. It is my personal definition of Bitcointalk.org answering the common newbies questions "What is this forum about", "How do I earn here". However, I have edited the subject and removed newbies as other members can also learn from the thread.
This is privacy centred forum. Your privacy and privacy of your wallets or whatsoever is in your hands. You can choose how you handle them.
PMs are not guaranteed private; you see this when viewing the PM page:
"Note: PM privacy is not guaranteed. Encrypt sensitive messages."Good to know. Thanks.
6. Privacy:This is privacy centred forum. Your privacy and privacy of your wallets or whatsoever is in your hands. You can choose how you handle them.
It's possible to use bitcointalk.org without submitting any personal info. Use Tor + a throwaway email + a new pseudonym, etc. If you care about preventing personal information from being collected on bitcointalk.org, then preventing this collection is your responsibility.
Terms and condition apply,
1. This forum use CloudFlare. Read
Mixers using cloudflare's SSL certificates to know why it's bad for privacy.
2. If you register using Tor, you need to pay "evil unit fee" or contact someone to whitelist you (where they might ask few personal question to prevent abuser).
3. If you use throwaway email and later forget your password, the recovery process is takes more time (usually create new account, then provide proof that you're owner of the account).
This is great. Especially number 3. I have thought about account recovery processes of the forum. I'll read up the link from number 1, there's a lot to learn from it.
Thanks for sharing!
