I am still confused, what is the ideal brand-new or newbie account to do 1st before creating any post and thread?

Ideally, they should spend some time reading the rules (especially if its their first time on a forum) but this is just a discussion forum, there are no rules what you have to do.

Yeah, when it comes to the forum or any forum, the first thing that is expected of a newbie is to go through the rules. Am just glad Rikafip did come up with that because, on every introductory thread by a newbie, it's always the first response you would find and a link to them rules.
Unfortunately, the rules remains the most ignored until it gots broken, either by the individual or someone else before it drags one's attention to it. A few might seek the rules first but, not so sure for most.

The next, you get to scavenge the forum to see what it is about, how much freedom you've got, lots of reading and the others would be discovered as you ride along.

As I feel, many members here don't know anything about bitcoin, they don't know how to create a bitcoin wallet, but very experienced with metamask and trust wallet, which I think is a very strange person in the world.

If that's the case then they have started on the wrong foot, it should be Bitcoin first before anything else anything than this is a wrong start, Bitcoin is a truly decentralized coin, and many coins and tokens that follow are centralized so they are missing something very important in their journey to Cryptocurrency.
Those who invested in altcoins before Bitcoin, probably are bounty hunters and airdrops participants, so it's recommended that Bitcoin should have the biggest part of your portfolio.

1. Create bitcoin address and stake it here: Stake your Bitcoin address here
2. going to Beginners & Help and learning all about forum on sticky post

Going to the beginners and help boards to learn about the forum should be encouraged first; their discoveries there could lead them to learning more about the security involved in saving in bitcoin and broadening their horizons about bitcoin and a proper forum guide.

Even people with no prior knowledge of the internet or programming can create Metamask and Trust wallet. I could easily make one by watching a YouTube video or getting help from someone who has already done so. So it's not surprising that members have no knowledge of bitcoin and are more familiar with metamask and trust wallet. The security that comes with creating a bitcoin wallet makes it unique amongst others, thereby staking an address becomes hard for a beginner without prior knowledge of bitcoin.

This question is too much subjective and the answer varies from person to person. The key point is that a Newbie on bitcointalk may not necessarily mean that he is newbie in the crypto world. There can be chances that he knows well about bitcoin and now he discovers this forum and make an account here. In this case, he will already have an bitcoin address and can do stuff like staking it. However, a newie who is totally new, he may not find staking bitcoin address easy initially.

I guess the first thing which any type of user should do on this forum is to read the rules of the forum and get aquatinted with it.

This is a good thing because if his account is hacked or locked for some reason, it will be possible to recover the account by signing the message of that bitcoin address. I appreciate for this activities.

I think it would be more convenient for that person to ask his local board about his problem or any needed help than Beginners & Help. He can learn a lot from Beginners & Help, but he can understand many times faster then B&H then from local board. And meta will inform him/her about all the important rules and facilities of this forum so it is very important to follow the Meta board as well.

Your way is a good option and it will helpful to the newbie who enter in this forum. But all and for most a newbie must know the rules and regulations first on the forum before they do something. Because once they don't know the forum rules then there's a chance that they can make against the rules. So they must know it first and then start searching using the search button. Because learning is must wherever you go.

How does a beginner get a wallet and sign it if he is a beginner?

If they are complete novices new to bitcoin and the bitcointalk forum then I guess 99.9% of them fall into confusion about where to start. So they definitely need time and guidance before they finally know where to start. But it will be different for those who have known bitcoin for long time, know about wallet, but are not on the forum. This will allow them to learn faster and better discuss bitcoin.

Quote from: lovesmayfamilis on March 01, 2023, 12:31:46 AM

I think that any average person who comes to any forum will first go through different sections to get comfortable. In addition, the platform is international, so any beginner should find their native language, and first, communicate with their immediate people who speak their native language.
But this whole topic again translates into manuals, which are full of other sections, and which beginners still do not read.

The first step that you think is very appropriate, but I think the majority of beginners today have received guidance or have mentor before even registering their account. So their chances of getting lost are much lower than without mentor or by self-taught.

In my opinion, a newbie ideally would lurk a bit around here so they can tell how the dynamics of the forum are, and hopefully realize that plagiarism is against the rules.
From there (if they have enough common sense) they can participate with simple messages until they learn how to sign and verify a message, moving onto staking one of their addresses.

Reading the rules and staking an address, while important, I honestly doubt most of newbies do that at first; me being a good example, because I initially just asked some silly questions and made comments on other's threads.

Well, not newbie accounts are literally newbies, some of them might have enough knowledge from their experience or by reading though the forum before finally creating an account.

But yeah, for newcomers, if you want to just learn, then explore the forum. Try learning the structure first, boards, sections, threads, etc.
In my opinion, it depends on the users' preference... it boils down to things like what they want to know and explore. Meta and beginners & help boards are good head-start though.

I see that the first thing a newbies should do before starting writing here in the forum is to learn, newbies need first and foremost to read the rules of the forum.

After that, they have to go around the different sections of the forum, especially the beginners section, and try to learn everything about Bitcoin, because this is a Bitcoin forum in the first place.

After they get enough knowledge they can start writing topics with important ideas and start building reputation in the forum.

Of course, there are some members who have a lot of experience in Bitcoin and Crypto, but they are late in registering in the forum, such as these, they can start writing immediately because they have sufficient experience in advance.

It basically depends on the type of person creating an account. If the newbie account is business related, it should first buy a cooper membership in the forum before making an ANN thread (so that the images are visible to others). Usually, business related newbie accounts dont stake their btc addresses. But need to read the forum rules (especially the no plagiarism rule) Tongue

Irrespective of the kind of account a user is willing to operate with, once you create an account here and sign in, you need to go through the boards and check what each constitute and from there you will discover the titles and read up threads that specifically talks about newbies on this forum, rules and regulations, posting etiquettes, beginners and help section, if you dont get used to the forum first, how will you discover what's expected of you.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

You seee, sometimes it seems that since we've been repeating the same thing for years now, there's every possibilty that peeps already knew every tips to make an account; on the other hand, it ain't true.
I'm not disputing the fact that different sites ain't got similar rules yunno,(say perhaps should be a normal thing), but as long as these rookies keep asking valid questions - matterless of how many times it's been answered -- an answer should be provided or atleast a good reference would also do. You've given a nice objection and yeah?? Alot of peeps that are flaunting the rules today don't even know them.

I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all type of response in this as it's different strokes for different folks. People come to this forum with different intentions in mind and it will really not be easy trying to streamline everyone's attitude. As that may be, I don't think it's necessary for newbies to stake their wallet addresses here. They should grow their accounts first before anything. The most important thing newbies should do is read and read to gain knowledge and then respect the rules and regulations of this forum to stay out of trouble.

There is no such rules in bitcointalk, and staking bitcoin address can be helpful with recovering your account incase if gets hacked but if you don't want to post any of your bitcoin address for privacy reasons then you can keep posting without staking any address too.

I'm not quite sure how you formed that impression, although you might be right about metamask. There are a lot of bounty hunters here who get paid in ERC20 tokens (if I'm not mistaken; I don't how they're paying out these days) and who otherwise might not know about or even be interested in bitcoin. That's pretty sad, isn't it?

And yeah, I concur with everyone who said to read the rules before doing anything else. Unfortunately it doesn't matter how many times that's written in posts, because newbies keep coming here and doing all sorts of crap that's against the rules.

When I was newbie, what I first did was that, I introduced myself at local board, I read through the rules and regulations on the forum, I also look for a way to be active on the forum and try my best to make meaningful contributions under topics, if I have issues I need to rectify, I ask other members for help....

If you stake a bitcoin address when you've just registered, you're probably not getting your account recovered anyway, you could wait a month or two for that (unless you really love your username).

The majority of newbies would probably register an account and make a post straight away. A lot of newbies will have been lingering on the forum for a month or a quarter before making their posts so will know more about what's expected of them. I think the lingering before making an account or a post might be more "ideal" but it might be unnecessary too (similar to reading the rules here - even though both would give them a better understanding of what and how to write).
