Maybe add these in the list, too:

Bitcoin = the protocol
bitcoin = the unit

People often write those differently. Some even do BitCoin.

I think that might be on the same track (in the ballpark); here is the reference link:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=621411.msg6882556#msg6882556

Yeah, I think DathAndTaxes was using the financial term. I don't think 'float' is used here as anything specifically relating to premining.

on a different note:
I noticed your sig how would you like to partner on some cryptocurrency projects?

I'm already partnering on a project, and looking for other partners (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-coinalotnet-is-looking-for-developers-539956). Feel free to PM me if you think we can co-operate.

Question:

Regarding a premine, what is the full definition of the word "float"?  

Thanks

Hi Armis,

I'm not sure, maybe someone else will enlighten us. Can you point me to where you saw 'float' used in relation to 'premine'?

BTW the financial definition of 'float' is;

Quote
The float refers to profits earned by a financial institution on assets that do not belong to that institution, but are held in custody for a client or other purpose.

But, I don't think this is what your referring too.

Really helpful. Thanks Yogi.
BTW,  bitcoin-shitlist.com seems not working.

OK, thanks for letting me know. I'll check back on the site at a later date, if it's still down I'll remove the link.

I regularly see posts in Speculation asking what a bull/bear trap is.   

A possible definition might be:

Bull Trap:  An upward trend in price that invites bullish speculators to buy before reversing suddenly and "springing the trap."
Bear Trap:  The opposite of a bull trap, where the price goes downward and then sharply back up "trapping" bearish speculators who sold their positions.

Thanks Equus, I've added your suggestions.

Bumping again for newbs like us. Smiley

Likewise man this is going to take me awhile to learn... sigh

Just search the things you don't understand. Otherwise, learning every single one is going to take time and you will never use some of the terms.

I have been lurking these forums for a few weeks now and didn't understand what a lot of these terms meant. This list has made things a lot clearer so thanks.
