Topic: Which is the best board to focus on as a newbie in the forum? - page 2. (Read 313 times)

OP, your post history is already five pages long, and you're still asking which board you should post on.
It would be right to ask you the question, "For what purpose are you here?"
Just let's not be cunning and say that you are new to crypto. I see posts where you write that you have bitcoins—that is, you have experience with them.
So what's the problem, then? I'm starting to think merit is the problem. Do you want to improve your rankings quickly but find that the boards you love aren't getting enough merit?
I understand you correctly?

That's a very good question you just asked, because that someone is a newbie on this forum doesn't mean he/she is a complete newbie/beginner to Crypto/Bitcoin related stuff, because your purpose of coming to this forum will determine which board to focus more on, such as we have Trading Discussion (i.e Best place to learn about trading Bitcoin), Mining (i.e For those who intend to learn how to mine Bitcoin) and Development & Technical Discussion (i.e Best place to learn about how to develop projects that work on the Bitcoin blockchain & accept Bitcoin), e.t.c.

But on a general, the best board I can recommend to every newbie to help you understand the forum is this board Beginners & Help (i.e which offers a medium for beginners like you to ask questions and get answers from experience members like us about the forum), Meta (i.e which help you to understand about latest happenings on the forum) and lastly your "Local board" i.e Russia, Philippines, German e.t.c, which helps you to connect with like-minded people interested in Bitcoin in your various locality.

It all depends on where your interest lies be it that yours might be different from mine and if I should tell you from my own very perspective of interest it may or may not be helpful to you as it has been for me.

There are plenty boards in the forum and all are of benefit to a newbie based on what actually brought them to the forum. Though it's mostly advisable that as newbies the starting ladder of focus should be in the beginners and help board followed by bitcoin discussion board and any other board could depend on your interest. For instance, if you're an enthusiast trader then you can add the Trading discussion board to your menu and any other that meet your interest still.

Since you find it easy to post in the gambling, and economic section I believe you're already doing well on this forum. The board I will advise you to focus is the Bitcoin Discussion, Development & Technical Discussion, and Bitcoin Technical Support so you can improve BTC tech knowledge while you also grow your account since almost all merit sources focus on the listed board section.

As a beginner or as a newbie your best board to post is this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0. this where you can asked questions like this nd make contributions. You learn a lot of things from this board then you can go out to any other boards that you can make quality contributions. You are not restricted to any board. If the board is okay for you to make comments then you can do that. All what you to do is to read more as other have told you before. Any board you visit, make sure you read the guidelines (rules) of the board so that you will not violate the regulations or the policies. Do well to explore the forum for your good advantage.

Welcome to the forum. I may not know your notion of being here but every board is made for all the members to visit, learn and contribute to the things they  have ideas of but as a newbie, if you want to learn and know more about bitcoin then focus more on visiting the bitcoin discuss section because bitcoin related issues are well discussed there same goes to other board which you have seen so take your time and visit every section I believe you will get more answers based on what you have in mind before coming here.

Sincerely, you aren't limited to any board unless you were required to do so, or as a paid service.

As a newbie, it is expected to be very conversant with the 'Beginner and Help' section, because this is where most of the questions you may ponder upon, during your time here, either may have already been discussed or someone must have highlighted it, unknowingly.

There's no saying that if you get to surf through other boards and you see a topic that you have an idea/opinion/interest in, that you can't candidly indulge in by contributing to the discussion.
The boards you mentioned mostly have interesting discussions and if you frequent them and learn while also contributing with research links and latest information and comments(unless restricted), you would have just found your best board yet.

All the boards in the forum are all significant to make yourself educated and be knowledgeable about the crypto market. So you don’t have to only read what’s your line of interest but make an effort to read and understand all important topics listed in the forum. Soon everything will paid off and you will realize that what you put at the start are now making yourself having an edge in the forum. Just do your own diligence to do most of the time researching, that is the best way so you can easily understand the crypto market scenarios and events.

You are welcome. Also take time to learn. All boards are for you. Only as a newbie some boards don't allow you. You go to your local board to know and learn more. You can explain all the solutions there in your own language. Then all the boards come back,

OP, there are no true answers to your question... I think it has to do with your interest, which section of the boards are you interested in? What's the primary reason why you are here? Like you said that you find it more easier to post in the gambling, economic and politics boards. Actually, these are just extras to spice up the forum and you shouldn't spent more time there if you truly want to garner knowledge about bitcoin. The primary reason we are here is to learn about bitcoin so the bitcoin discussion and beginners and help board should be a great start. Then, you can digress to other sections or boards based on your desire to learn new things and improve your person.

If you find these boards easier to post in, keep on posting there for now; but do not limit your reading to only those boards, there is so much to learn about Bitcoin in other boards, and if you start reading in the boards where people post things about Bitcoin, you'd learn quite a lot and after sometime you'll also find it easier to post there. One thing you should not do is put yourself under pressure or try to impress when you clearly do not have the knowledge to, read more for now.

It all depends on your own interest on which topics you can easily comprehend to. However, as a newbie, you should try to learn everything that are significant topics in the forum, even if some are not on your own interest. After all, each topic that is raised in the forum has something that we can gain from it, so we should just read and read until we understand them. But never put pressures in yourself, just take your time and enjoy while educating yourself.

You find it easier to post on those boards because those discussions are discussions that you are used to having that is discussions about gambling economics and politics, but this forum is not mainly about those things. Some people discovered this forum from their interest in Bitcoins, some people were referred to joined the forum because they showed interest in Bitcoins. The forum is mainly about Bitcoins. As a newbie like me just yesterday, because I was interested in learning about Bitcoins, I read more discussions from the bitcoin discussion section, because I was new to forum and did not want to break any rule, I wanted to express myself well too as a newbie, I also focused on the beginners and help board. You can follow my style since I was just like you yesterday.

What's your purpose of joining the forum, that's should determine the board you become more active at. I doubt you joined the forum because of politics so in my opinion that board should get less attention from you (I'm not saying you should ignore the board totally) but concentrate on the board that'll add more knowledge to what you already know instead of arguing about politicians that don't care about your existence. Gambling is another board that you can get lost in. If you put all your energy engaging there, you might realize it too late that you have gained nothing while been on the forum. I write in gambling board but I have my threads of concentrations.

Economy is a great board to write on, Bitcoin discussion as well as that's the main focus of the forum and the reason many of us joined the forum (to learn about Bitcoin). Although the topics there are usually off topic but you can filter out the topics that are generic and focused only on those that you can learn from. Ignored all the Bitcoin got me that or this bullshit and write on those that actually adds some knowledge that you didn't have about Bitcoin. Finally I see you have participated in your local board on the forum, stay active there more as it'll help you to get familiarize with people from your country and they'll be in the best position to guide you through your journey here.

I'd suggest that you focus on beginners, and help and the bitcoin discussion boards. Since you've found fun in the gambling boards it's fine to stick around there, but these two boards will facilitate your learning journey in the forum. If you're fine with the level of bitcoin knowledge you possess, the economics board is always a good place to learn about the real world and business. I bet as a newbie you'll enjoy chatting with members in that section, they exist in the board, economics, premium responses generally about how people live life in the world and society. Meta section is also great as a newbie to learn what's happening in the forum; updates and new observations. In a nutshell, while building activities in any board that fits you, endeavor to create threads about your views and questions relating to the board.

You listed out three others and included several others, that is enough discussions, no pressure to include other boards.

Posting where you find it easy means you are posting where your interests lies. You don't have to change this except you have other areas of Bitcoin that you are interested in learning.

Contrary to the advise that many people will give to Op, I think I will defer greatly in suggesting any board for Op as a newbie. I believe in the principle of self satisfaction and the people I have seen with similar ideology are LoyceV and Lovesmayfamilis.
This is a discussion forum and Op should discover the area of interest to them and join the discussion there. Unless the Op is indirectly asking about the boards that can hand s/he merits. Otherwise, they should contribute where they derive joy.
When I started in this forum,  I was an altcoin man and later I found joy in gambling discussion mega threads. I could be in those threads for hours and will not get tired of scrolling, reading and replying.
Recently, I discovered fun in reputation board where so many drama happens. I now frequent reputation board.
By this, I use this forum as a forum and gets full satisfaction and fun using forum and yet still get weekly bucks. This is pure joy and I will suggest that to anyone anytime.

At the beginning of your from journey, the best and informative and helpful board will be Beginners & Help board. Because here you can discuss, can ask and also can learn a lot about crypto from experienced users. Here everyone is helpful. And the second best board is in my opinion that your local board. Because there you can discuss in your native language, also can ask for help to others. But always remember your discussion topic should be on the right board. If you ask for help then try to use this board Beginners & Help or if you want to discuss about altcoins then use Altcoin Discussion board. And for trading related questions there is Trading Discussion board. So in this forum has a lot of boards which should be known by you and discuss or ask only on related boards.

If you're in this forum, it doesn't make much sense to talk in the Politics or the Economics board, and not in the Bitcoin boards. Asides from less activity, they are not moderated properly, and are a total mess (not that Bitcoin boards are orders of magnitude different, but yeah).

If you're a total newbie, begin from the obvious one. Beginners & Help.

I remember that when I was entered in the forum I didn't know anything about forums. The situation was such that I did not know what is topic, how to post it. After some time, with exploring the forum, I learned to create a topic and post. Then most of the posts were my questions mainly to know the things that I don't know.
-In that case I used to follow Beginners & Help board most of the time. So I will suggest you first to follow Beginners & Help board. Moreover,  the same things you can do in your local community, i.e. local board cz local community are awesome.
-Then I after knowing the basics of this forum explore the forum staring should be with the Meta & its child boards, Project Development and if you have some skills then you can offer your service on the service board.
And then there is no alternative to explore. If you start with these few, I think it will help you to explore later.
