Post by: HBKMusiK on January 02, 2020, 05:56:19 PM

This guide was first posted in the Romanian section: here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2979514.0) but I decided that much more users can benefit from it so I translated it in English.

I'm going to start by posting a glossary of terms first, it will take something to translate everything from the original post because I have a lot of work to do besides that and I'm quite lazy as a person. Here you go :

With all due respect, isn't "posting twice in a row" is against the rules of the forum, I've been told about it:

Quote

(..snip..) and please refrain from posting twice in a row, you should edit your first post, ask your question there and then delete the second post, in fact if I am not mistaken , what you just did is against the forum rules.
