Title: Bitcoin terminology
Post by: LIUM on September 25, 2019, 07:13:31 AM
Hello! I'm new here and in the field. I found out that many beginners don't know terminology, neither do I. I'm trying to read forums and google everything I don't know and it takes plenty of time. So I'm asking for a help. Can you share some terminology using in the field, I mean not common ones but some specific things?

If it’s just terminology, and not concepts, then these should cover most of the common terms and yet you going:

Terminology (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0).
Cryptocurrency Lingo/Slang (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3250658).
Glossary for Crypto terms (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4802831.0).

A bit rude to advise googling I'd say

Not at all rude. If you spoon feed a newbie with every information then they would never learn to seek it out by themselves.

They need to learn to become self-sufficient and not dependent on others - something that is lacking in the current generation. If the OP would have a specific doubt then I am sure many others would come in to help them but a vague question would be better answered by googling. ;)

I agree with @TheUltraElite. When we can get all the information on google then there is no need for creating a thread for that. Only if we have any doubts or if we do not understand something, then only we should create a thread asking for help.

While straight off saying "google it" may be quite rude on some instances(if you're a very sensitive person and easily offended by people online lol), someone has to say it. Especially for super basic stuff like what OP is asking for, that you could pretty much easily find more than a dozen posts concerning bitcoin/crypto terminologies. I'd understand creating a topic if it's something a lot less common and a lot less google-able like "do you think the bluetooth feature of the Ledger Nano X is unsecure?", or something like that.

Rude? The link is extremely helpful. It points to dozens of sites that answer the OP's questions directly. Perhaps you think the advise is rude because it demonstrates something that you think is obvious, but that may not be so obvious to other people.
