Bitcoin Forum

I noticed that bitcoin mining information is rather scattered and not really noob friendly. (well in terms of explaining developments, the companies etc)

I am thinking about building a really comprehensive FAQ. Is any interested?

Edit: Making an FAQ - Under Construction Still.

Please PM if you want to contribute, it will be credited to you :D

I am!!

Looks good, I can attend?

Very much so. Would also be willing to contribute some content and/or edit to make things friendly for the non technical. It's a line I'm pretty good at straddling.

There's a pretty good series here too: http://bitcoin.cbtnuggets.com/

Great idea, however the main reason this doesn't exist isn't that people haven't tried. The problem is the mining scene changes so dramatically so quickly that everything gets out of date very quickly, and the original authors have long since moved on. The last comprehensive beginner's guide (on this forum, you can find it) discussed cpu and gpu mining at great lengths, both of which are completely irrelevant to current bitcoin mining and end up confusing newcomers since they were reading that and thinking that's what bitcoin mining is.

I think this would be great and its needed.

I would be interested in one and could probably contribute!

english is not my native language, so it would be too hard for me, to write it.
You can use google translate if it helps a bit and you can use the links, for your guide.

So I have started on such a FAQ. Will be posting the URL shortly. Contributions are welcome and they will be credited to you! (link to your forum account, google+, whatever)

Looks good, I can attend? :)

I think this would be really helpful. I'm in!

I'd be interested in reading it.

URL will be posted in the next 12 hours or so.

About 70% of the content is done. Will take contributions after :D

Here is the Link!

BitcoinMiner.net (http://BitcoinMiner.net) mod edit: link fixed

OP Updated with Link. Site still under construction.

Feedback anyone?

Haven't had time to read through it all, but so far it's a great beginning. Very clean layout, easy to follow.

And the "tons of text here" placemarkers made me LOL.

Ahh ok sounds good.

Yeah have to add more text there ^^

Adding Mining profitability and security section

Some good info. Learned some stuff.

Thanks

@Biomech, I am also currently working on fleshing my site out with content, so if you can contribute, that would be great.

Keep up the good work and we may have a link that can be stickied.

It Looks nice, needs more info

I wrote a small "mining-guide" with FAQs in the german section in this forum, with links to the most important sources of knowledge for btc related things and I keep it up to date.
