Introduction
As a newbie as of December 2013 it has occurred to me that its a steep learning curve to understand many of the simple terms that the DEVs and more experienced users of the forum use. This encyclopedia of Crypto terms is being compiled to help new users like me and give them an thread to learn all the terms.

FUD – FUD stands for 'Fear Uncertainty Doubt'.

T

Troll • An obnoxious unwanted forum contributor who makes it his lifelong mission to spam, flame and disrupt a thread or discussion, sometimes out of having nothing better to do but more often for the purpose of spreading 'FUD' as a way to gain financial advantage. Trolls are forum members who are believed to be posting negative comments calculated to de-stabalise investor confidence. It is often the case that forum members who raise valid concerns or flag danger are mistaken as trolls. A common insult in forum threads to discredit a person who raises issues that other forum members disagree with.

DEV DIRECTORY

MULTI WALLETS
http://www.coinsmanager.com/ (http://www.coinsmanager.com/) • Open Source application to manage coins, public addresses, and view values in your favorite fiat currency

This isn't the proper format for such a thing. There are wikis that are better suited for this sort of material.


You can use one post to do all this.

Do you want the post count that badly?

P.S.: Wrong board.

Users are not able to edit the entries, but have to go via the OP.


I agree, a wiki is a much better way of doing what you have started.
