I would also add some info about where to buy bitcoin, trade.
Whatelse, I think something about how escrow works may be helpful or maybe some advices about buying/selling on this website (people are asking what are vouches, why nobody buy and their activity is <10...)

@ Gleb

You make that?

You can cut most posts by new accounts down to:

- signature info
- activity vs posts
- trust
- faucets
- gambling

Most will ask the same questions around these aspects all day long. I often think its just a way to pad the post count but its always just enough doubt to make me not call them on it.

Its always amazing to watch how many people post with out reading the Thread for newbies or the forum rules.

Think people want to learn about bitcoin once they have it,new accounts tend to want to dabble for a well.

You can add a section about websites and big brands that have started to accept it for payment. Maybe even some coverage for physical items related to bitcoin - keychains, coins, paintings, books.
I wouldn't encourage any mention of gambling, even though that ecosystem has built up inside btc. Some talk about the security side would help, could mention any current and previous vulnerabilities that have been discovered.

Hi.
I think you should also include some form of guide,
on how to avoid being scammed.
What is financial pyramid and hyip. How and where one can check
reputation on any bitcoin related site.
Security risks, importance of private keys and strong passwords.
God site I can send you to is badbitcoin.org

You need to explain how the fees work. Most people think of fees as a % of bitcoin and when they send large combinations of dust, they don't understand why the fees are so high.

What they don't understand is that fees are based on bytes being sent and if your output is made up of a large quantity of inputs, the bytes are huge, and hence the fee is huge.

So and explanation of bytes, how they affect fees, and also an explanation of how priority and biitcoindays works, would be helpful.
