Well, let the user get here first and let them do what they want. Nobody is obliged to search the Beginners & Help Board if they don't want to. No one has to do a in-depth Bitcoin research if they don't want to.

However, there is some common sense: When you sign up for a new website, you usually familiarize yourself with the rules and read the relevant threads with the basic instructions.

And since Bitcointalk is a Bitcoin forum, it wouldn't be bad if you could get a basic understanding of Bitcoin afterwards. Although, if a user doesn't want to do that, that's their right and we shouldn't force them.

2. going to Beginners & Help and learning all about forum on sticky post

Exactly, this must be your first thing to do and it begins with reading the forums rules and regulations here, going through the sticky threads and learning first from what the forum offers and is all about learning about Bitcoin from boards applicable to Bitcoin discussion, when you follow the ideal protocol it will be easy for you to understand the system or forum better than jumping up and down creating no value to the community because you have nothing to offer, only those that has passed through the learning ground have something they can deliver with best quality as expected.

Depends, for example, anyone trying to advertise NSFW content, a nude would be great. I believe other members covered the rest, I just said what wasn't mentioned.😂

Let them do whatever they came here to do. I feel like we put a lot of expectations on new users because of the culture here. It's turned to a very business minded culture, which a lot of new users just want to ask their questions, and not necessarily continue posting from there on out, and that's fine. It's what brought a lot of us here, to just ask a simple question, and then we likely started reading a little more on the forum, and it hooked us.

Not every new user is here to go join a signature campaign, and earn money, but it seems we're very suspicious from the get go, which turns into hostility, and new users are less likely to stay. Staking a address isn't needed for most new users, and when they do come to doing it, they should probably do it with a securely generated address, which I imagine a lot of new users haven't got when first joining.

To be honest, mostly nothing. You can simply immediately start just talking about stuff you're interested in concerning bitcoin/crypto/investing/economics. No need to make Bitcointalk so formal that there should be a chronological order on what to do.

And yea sure don't plagiarize and yadda yadda and all those rules, but most of the rules should be common knowledge by now for any other platform.

Newbies should do whatever brought them here. In my case, that was complaining about faucet captchas. There's no need to stake an address or jump through any other hoops. If they're what I consider "real Bitcoin users", they'll be fine.

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.

Those aren't Bitcoin users, they use Bitcointalk for other things.

Click on "more" from the top menu. https://bitcointalk.org/more.php

there are most of the most important links for getting to know the forum and its rules better.
I assume that a real Newbie does not know that there are important pinned posts in Beginners & Help section.
and they should first read and get to know the forum at least a little, before opening useless topics

You mean newbie accounts? Because not all newbie accounts has "newbie" knowledge.
Well, reading and following the forum rules is the first thing they should. Staking address is optional, it's not that important, account recovery can be done even using the email they used in registration.

Many? How many you think? ^{(Not that important anyway)}. Creating trustwallet can create bitcoin wallet though. If you're referring the wallet like electrum, well, this depends on what wallet they are used to use because electrum has different vibe and look than the other good UI and UX wallets especially in mobile wallets where most newbies are using.

I think any newbie should read the unofficial rules first in order to learn about the rules in this forum, especially if they're plagiarism and it would make them get banned.

Stake a Bitcoin address isn't that important, as long as you've mentioned your address anywhere in this forum, you're fine as long as you can sign from that's address.

A newbie doesn't need to go to Beginners & Help section, he can learn from any board which he interested.

It's not strange if they not know about Bitcoin wallet, because Trust wallet support Bitcoin, so they think why they need to have a specific wallet for Bitcoin? but if they've learn from read few threads in this forum, they will know how important is Bitcoin wallet that offer to verify signature and open source.

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.

That's probably because vast majority of people that are new to crypto are altcoiners. They often (wrongly) think that its too late to invest in bitcoin so that makes them turn to altcoins instead.

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

Because when staking the address, the newbie account must have a bitcoin wallet where that information has on sticky post.

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.
