Title: how exactly does all of this work? Post by: secretcircus on September 19, 2012, 12:19:11 AM Hi everyone, Newbie here. I am looking to get started with some bitcoin stuff. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure how the whole process works! I'm not looking to invest much (yet) but the whole thing just sounds very interesting from what I have heard. Is there some type of bitcoins for idiots website or post, haha?

Then you can google Bitcoin. I don't know off-hand of a good place to start that doesn't have a lot of extraneous information. Title: Re: how exactly does all of this work?

LOL I would highly recommend NOT reading the original whitepaper to get started with Bitcoin. If you want something super simple - http://bitcoinbasics.com/ (http://bitcoinbasics.com/) If you want something with more depth - http://evoorhees.blogspot.com/2012/04/bitcoin-libertarian-introduction.html (http://evoorhees.blogspot.com/2012/04/bitcoin-libertarian-introduction.html) Title: Re: how exactly does all of this work?
