Topic: Representing bitcointalk.org letters in crypto terms (Read 182 times)

Noted and corrected, i appreciate that.


That's a good idea, i really appreciate such observation and it has been effected.

While all other commendations, observations and recommendations were highly accepted and i do appreciate.

I can understand the first part of the post and some wordplay that can be derived from the name of the forum, but why mention people who don't even have anything to do with cryptocurrencies like FB owner, or various shitcoin projects that enriched their owners without contributing to anything else?

Except for Satoshi, Dorsey and Szabo, everyone else is pretty irrelevant to me personally...

He might not have thought of it while choosing the terms matching to the Bitcointalk as sometimes we missed the most important things going in minor details as you know.But as you have already told him a little edit to the thread can be done with the first Letter adjusted to one and only bitcoin.

I also appreciate his efforts that he has taken to create some good stuff as we says newbies should be indulging in some effective contributions on the forum and he has tried his best to do so nothing wrong in that.For many others there might be some new terms associated with it that they have come into knowledge at first phase.The main part is explanation of those terms in the later part which makes clarification to reader's about what those terms actually mean.Sometimes we just put efforts which is good even though the thing is not effective enough but still he has share some information instead of asking how to earn on forum.

I think you're going the right way about looking to contribute, i.e educate others on technical terms, and try relating it to something that they use often. I just think your missing the mark a little by using the forum's url to do it.

I initially thought this, but I took a step back, and viewed it from another point of view. You know how we teach children to abbreviate things, in hope they remember something. Well, not just children actually, adults also use this approach. For example, in the construction industry, and food industry they use various different ones, but the main one that sticks out to me is COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) while its abbreviated different to how the OP did it, the point still makes it easier to understand. First Aid courses, as well as paramedic degrees also teach you via this system, so it does work.

Plus, I'm not too concerned about an attempt to help people learn about different concepts of Bitcoin through this method. Alright, probably a bit of a long shot, but we've got to come up with solutions on making Bitcoin a lot more accessible to those that aren't technically minded. This, while the execution might not be perfect with Bitcointalk as the example, I think could be applied to different things within Bitcoin to teach others.

He has done noble for his own perceptions of work, but it's meaningless because those points he enshrined can not be adopted to the community, op spent enough time in writing this article but i would prefer op to make a research of bitcoin than to rename or change the names of existing things in the community and outside the community by using the first  symbol or alphabet of any kind of words to draft out other things.

Lol,,, this came off very funny to me but for real, it's what asking though.

Anyway, looking at the wall of text and the fact that, they or at least 90% of it is crypto related, its a good pice of creativity and maybe, some users might learn a thing or two off it. Picking out some terms that makes sense. The part that outlines some founders is what I don't really follow though as, some are really out of context on cryptos on the forum and thread itself. Which ever way, its a nice one piece you've put out.

I would not make wild suppositions.
We can see how much harm a website called bitcoin[dot]com can do.
We can see how much benefit a website can have only because it's called blockchain[dot]com.
We may have to fear from where blockchain[dot]org is redirecting now.

So registering as many domains "for good use" is actually fine and may not be related to anything "wild".

I thought satoshi got overexcited and registered that domain but it got registered in September 2014...

The Theymos v Cobra divorce settlement mightve been more comprehensive than we thought

Blockchain is a glorified database (not a bad one, it suits wonderful for the purpose, but still only a DB). Bitcoin is what made it shine.
And.. it's bitcointalk, not blockchaintalk.

PS. It's interesting though where blockchaintalk.org redirects to.

I think blockchain is a better choice there though ?


It's kinda a good test of what people know themselves too to do puzzles like these. I think a lot of language teachings include things like these.

Hope you will not mind this? Only Satoshi Nakamoto is who we know, non of our business with altcoins, this is bitcoin forum. Although altcoins are allowed in the altcoin boards. All other names are not related to bitcoin or bitcoin forum, Bitcointalk.

My point too. I would've patted the OP on the back but for that. How did they miss the most important word here – Bitcoin, and the most amazing innovation of the century – Bitcoin. It's supposed to even be a double mention whenever issues around cryptocurrency and BTT are discussed.

While it's somewhat fun to see this, I find the first letter... let's say not the best choice.
It could imply that we're here just a bunch of bagholders . And maybe we actually are.
Still, the first letter should come from Bitcoin itself. Let's give Caesar what's Caesar's, okay?

It is entertainment. Like the one who does crossword puzzles, or in this case more like the one who creates them. I like what he has done.

But why so much effort? Why?

While thinking over on what i could offer or contribute to the forum, i come about with an idea of using every single letters from the word bitcointalk.org to represent a term in cryptocurrency in other to engage on interactive ideas and knowledge about what each alphabet of the forum's name can represent. But permit me to write BITCOINTALK.ORG as (BITCOINTALK DOT ORG] in other to make the dot (.) have a meaningful expression.

 BITCOINTALK
 B    =      Bitcoin
 I     =      Interoperability
 T    =      Taproot
 C    =      Capitulation
 O    =      Off-Chain Transaction
 I      =      Instamine
 N    =      Node
 T    =      Tamper-Proof Ledger
 A    =      Anonymous
 L    =      Layer 0
 K    =      KYC

 DOT
 D    =      Darknodes
 O    =      Orphan
 T    =      Tangle

RESPECTIVE MEANINGS IN DETAILS

Bitcoin: Its a decentralized digital currency believed to be created by an unidentified person named Satoshi Nakamoto in January 2009

Interoperability: Is the ability to see and share information across multiple blockchains.

Taproot: Is an instantiation of a soft fork for Bitcoin, intended to both improve privacy and improve other aspects tied to more complex transactions.

Capitulation: Is the process of selling assets or cryptocurrencies at a significant loss because you have lost hope or belief that it will ever increase in price.

Off-chain transaction: Is defined as a second-layer protocol where the transactions occur on a network and move value outside of the blockchain.

Instamine: When a large portion of a coin’s total supply is distributed to investors shortly after launch.

Node: The most basic unit of blockchain infrastructure that stores data.

Tamper-Proof Ledger: Is essentially any system of records that has the fundamental properties of a blockchain distributed ledger.

Anonymous: Anonymity is when something is not known or named.

Layer 0: Is a network framework running beneath the blockchain. It is made up of protocols, connections, hardware, miners, and everything else that forms the foundation of the blockchain ecosy

KYC: Short for Know Your Customer, these are checks that crypto exchanges and trading platforms must complete to verify the identity of their customers.

Darknodes: Adecentralized network of computers. In exchange for compensation, they offer their computing power and storage space to everyone with certain conditions.

Orphan: A valid block on the blockchain that is not part of the main chain.

Tangle: Is a blockchain alternative developed by IOTA, using directed acyclic graphs which only builds in one single direction and in a way that it never repeats, and is quantum-computing.

Oracles: An agent that finds and verifies information, bridging the real world and the blockchain by providing data to smart contracts for execution of said contracts under specified conditions.

Random Number Generation: This is a sequence of numbers or symbols used to create a strong key that cannot be predicted ordinarily in cryptography.

Genesis-Block: The first block of data that is processed and validated to form a new blockchain, often referred to as block 0 or block 1.
