Bitcoin Forum

I'm a newbie and I need your advice on how to go about things in this forum.
I joined this forum 2022 but I was not active so I really don't know how things work here.
I need help as a beginner and I will really appreciate your support in other for me to know more about this forum.

Thank you.

First and foremost, I welcome you to Bitcointalk. I will assume you haven't explore through the forum, but here is a thread specially for newbies

Newbies - Read before posting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

The link above contains all the necessary things you need to know as a newbie. Also try to explore through the sub links that talks about other things relating to the forum as well.

My personal advice:
1. Try as much as possible to follow the forum rules
2. Do not disrespect those who give you advice (whether in a cool way or tough way)
3. If you are on this forum, then it means you might have dedicated some of your time to reading and carrying out research.
4. Always ask questions, but not in a rude manner.
5. And lastly, if you can't tolerate people in your physical world, then am sorry to tell you that you might find it very difficult here. In other sense, try to be as flexible as possible with everyone here.

Before asking question you should know for yourself about what is your priority or what caught your interest on why you came back here. So that you can focus in something and try to learn with it since its nonsense for people to suggest something then you are not ready to learn those suggestion given. Since imagine you learn about this forum way back 2022 but still you didn't learn and choose to be inactive. So better try to seek information about your interest then leap go to another activities or other topic once you are ready to learn new things again. If you are just eager to learn more about this forum and content inside for sure you familiarize this forum and will not go inactive since there's lot to enjoy here.

But if you want to start over again then try to read this since its helpful for newbie to get basic knowledge about bitcointalk https://www.meetbunch.com/the-bitcointalk-guide

List of helpful threads created by a forum member of this forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5149708.0

New in the forum? Welcome.
There's so much to learn from the community if you abide by its rules whose link has already been provided by the first user to comment.

My Recommendations
1. Read more than you create topics. If you do, you'll see that most of the newbie questions have already been answered.
2. Use the search button to search (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search) for whatever topic about bitcoin comes to mind or anything about the forum. The results will amaze you.
3. In your replies, you may be tempted to pass off someone else's work as your own for reasons best known to you. Please don't. It is called plagiarism. You will be caught and be given a ban.
4. The same goes with artificial intelligent written posts.

To grow easily in the forum, you have to make learning your priority. You also need to get yourself familiarize with the terms and conditions guiding the forum so that you won't go against it.

Welcome friend!
Now, you have to be active so that you'll get the help that you're gonna need as you navigate the forums from each sections to the other. It will take a few minutes of life for checking the rules[1] of the forum so that you'll get to familiarize yourself of the do's and don'ts of it and for your guidance. Engage in topics that you want to know more and don't derail it. It's fine to ask questions that you don't know about.

[1] Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)

My advice for you is very simple. Please read, that's all you need to know how things on this forum work.

In Beginners & Help board, you see "Newbies - Read before posting" and this topic was mentioned in other replies. You asked while you did not read anything before posting.

That topic is a big thread with given links to many more educational and informative threads which can help you learn about the forum, without asking basic questions.

Learning never ends; learn as you go. The more time the Op can devote to the forum, the more he can easily learn things about the forum; we can't learn everything all at once.
 
And I also think if one pays much attention to reading through old and educating threads, it will be way easier to understand the forum and even ask fewer questions.

You are a beginner in this forum. Welcome to that.

First of all if a beginner joins this forum then they are first asked to follow the post about the rules of this forum and how they will post the posts which every beginner should do.

There is no end to learning, try to learn from whatever situation you are in. You have a lot to learn from this forum if you follow these community rules properly. Try to find out things yourself and ask community members about them. If someone gives you good advice, try to take it well. I have told many beginners before even today I am telling you again to spend more time here to increase your cryptocurrency knowledge. Spending more time will allow you to spend more time reading the posts here which will benefit you.

Welcome to the forum. In addition to the advice and suggestions that’s been shared, I think you should also work on building your interest in Bitcoin and the forum. You say you were registered in 2022 but was not active until now, I suggest you find an area of the forum that you’re particularly interested in or find discussions there engaging and grow your knowledge from there. I usually advice newbies to get acquainted with their local board if they have one and I can see you have already found yours.

Besides the general rules, there's really nothing new you need to know. Bitcointalk is just a typical online forum, just that we like to talk about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies a lot. That's just it. All your learning will be off-site; as Bitcointalk will mostly just be the place to talk about things.

At the beginning of every board there are some sticky topics. These are the forum rules. You should read those topics first. What you need to do next is spend more time on the forum. The posts and comments of various forum members should be read carefully. In this way, when your knowledge on various subjects increases, you will participate in active discussion. This is how you need to grow up in the forum.

Just to add what others have been said already, you just have to go around the forum, read and read. That's what I do when I was a beginner and still at lost in this community. So I just explore everything, have some fun and then when it's time for me to ask question or created my own thread, then I do it with confidence.

And obviously this is a community so you have to follow the rules and be cordial to each other.

For sure you are going to enjoy your stay here if you truly want to learn about Bitcoin and crypto in general.

The forum can be a difficult place to settle into, more difficult for people with no knowledge of cryptocurrency, people with no experience of being in a forum like this, and sometimes people with low self-esteem. This is why you must take your time and be patient while trying to become used to how the forum works. If you are not yet confident to start up topics and discussions, it is okay for you to just spend your time for the now reading through other people's topics and learning from their opinion until you can gain confidence.

Apart from rules, posting guidelines and everything don't forget to engage in the discussions, especially in the thread you created because that's the purpose of a forum which is to discuss and share knowledge.

There are different sections which you can pick to post as you wish but don't mess around. Finally read more don't just post everything unless it has something to say in it.

Chiomaobi, it is best to be guided by common sense. Or even better, put yourself in the shoes of a moderator and evaluate whether you would consider your contribution worthy of deletion or not.

Original ideas are very rare, and knowledge is usually based on the path traveled by others previously. As a newbie, you may not be asked to always keep a high standard of originality, but quote your sources if you think that you are not contributing anything new, and try not to just reorder other people's words as it could be considered plagiarism or spam.

Just my two sats.

Paraphrasing without proper citation is plagiarism. Why would you even want to pass someone else’s work as your own? Engaging in forum discussions is not rocket science. Most topics are Bitcoin related and if you truly have interest in cryptocurrency, then it will not be long before you catch up. Authenticity is rewarded by the community so be yourself when making posts.  

First of all you are welcome ones again, though I don't have much to say because others has already given you all that you need to know but however reading is very important and if you are ready to read you will learn so many things  especially Bitcoin related things and those are the things that would make you contribute positively in terms making a post.

I recommend you to learn about Bitcoin and its creator Satoshi Nakamoto and then try to visit the boards related to Bitcoin on this forum and read important topics at those board.

I suggest you to read threads/topics at board like Bitcoin discussion, Speculation, and Meta board as those are very useful board to learn about Bitcoin and about this forum.

If you already know about Bitcoin and want to learn about this forum only then I suggest you to read topics at Meta board.

Every high-ranking account was once a newbie and many of them had little or no knowledge about the forum or Bitcoin. They were able to dedicate time to study materials in the forum and today they are well-grounded. Many rules of the forum are not written anywhere, so I will advise that you take some time and observe how the forum works. Try to pay attention to details in the forum and you learn faster  You don't need to always reply to posts, you can just take time to read and understand them.

You could also decide to go to your local board if they have one in the forum. The local board will be a good grooming ground for you to learn faster since you will be guided by your countrymen. Finally what will make you outstanding in the forum is your ability to contribute meaningfully to discussions. I will encourage you to keep learning which will help you to be an asset to the forum. You are welcome.

First, make sure you want to learn something from the forum. As a newbie you should follow who is saying what not saying what is doing what is writing in the forum and from there point out what you understand or don't understand. Many of you have provided various links about forum guidelines so try to master them. The most important thing is that you have to be a regular on the forum, because if you are consistent you can definitely gain something from it, if you are out of rhythm you won't get much out of it. Definitely stay here and try to learn and if you have any important knowledge share here so that everyone can benefit.

is it necessary? This is a discussion forum where everything Bitcoin and crypto is discussed from a first person point of view and that means you're going to be sharing information that you know will be of help to help to the forum member or you're going to share a challenge you're facing and that you would need solution to. If it's going to be that you're sharing anything that's not directing from you, it should be that you saw something that you're confused about and you are sharing it to get clarity or that you saw an information that's going to be helpful and then you're bringing it to the board to had more value to what already exist here

Generally, be yourself. If it's not true, don't share it and and if you're not sure of what you're posting, be open enough to send an information you can defend should there come some questions along the way. If you're ready to learn and to grow on the forum, you've got all that's required to enable you get the best out of the forum and with the search engine on the forum, you get access to literally all the basic questions you would probably want to ask as a beginner. Welcome on board lad!

Untill you're ready as you embark in the forum, all extended efforts to you'd be a waste because it's possible that you could still have to give the forum a break again making it hard for yourself to cope on.
Can you please state what you want here in the forum? It'd be better if you're being specific in other to have one directional opinion and guidelines.
But you can read here as it'd would help you all through either to master the forum or to explore in your bitcoin and your crypto carriers.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.msg16958010#msg16958010

The different board has a different topic to discuss its up to you now where you would like to focus, its ideal to visit the Beginners & help thread and Meta board first so you can heads up or get an idea with your start-up those informative threads are already pinned in each board so ideally better to take invest time to read this could be a preventive to create a redundant thread like other newbies do, now once you know where to take your path in the discussion try to learn from it, and analyze because possible in your journey in crypto you will experience what other does so you can now execute the possible solution and lessen the risk. Good luck to your path hope we see your contributions soon.

If you look at the bottom few posts in the section where you created this topic, you'll see that the bottom few posts have a lot of instructions for newbies. Every new member comes to the forum asking questions like you asked and they are answered accordingly. There is a considerable difference between a new member and an old member. A new member gets frustrated a little and they don't have the mindset to spend a long time on the forum. The first thing newbies need to do is to have enough patience and time on the forum. If you don't understand something, you should ask and keep trying to understand it. There are certain rules for posting in the forum, you must follow those rules before posting. If newbies have idea about these things then definitely newbies can stay in this forum and they can gain a lot from the forum.

just follow the rules, make good posts, and interact more often with users in threads like bitcoin discussion, or other threads, eventually you will be able to get used to this forum and build your account to be more qualified. if you can do at least like that, i'm sure that you can rank up and make a good reputation in this forum.

One of the ways you can  master the forum is by remaining active here in the forum, don't think of leaving the forum for so long because the more you stay away the more you miss your chances of growing in knowledge. Now they you are back, have a personal decision to remain active, try and refresh your memory by reading the forum rules, use the search button to get informations on topics you want to read about and focus on learning more by reading the thread of others so you learn from the comments of other members of the forum, take research as your hubby then ask questions when you get confused I believe once you start being very active you will enjoy the interaction that is always on here and you won't be far from improving your knowledge if it is what you are looking for.

You can also locate your local board and join the discussion there if you find it difficult to interact in a general board then when you get better in knowledge you start sharing your opinion and the information you have got as a result of the research you have made, hope you won't leave the forum again, all the best.

It has a discussion forum so the biggest benefit you will get from here is that you can learn a lot from here especially about crypto and bitcoin. And here you will get an income opportunity that is from bounty campaign and if you have high bank account then you will get an opportunity to work on signature campaign from where you get a weekly payment.  But first of all you need to get good knowledge about this forum.  So keep an eye on the Meta board and on the other hand learn more about Crypto and Bitcoin. i think it can be a good advice for you

Hmm, I can't understand how you are gonna be against your priorities if you are not familiar with some of the terminologies I know each terminology contains a deep meaning against the topic you are discussing but it's not that impactful that you will go against the topic you are discussing. There are many other comments with different choices of words that may be helpful for you due to simple choice of words, anyway this was just a casual commnet.

You are welcome to the forum. The best way for you to understand the forum better is for you to be patience,  you don't need to be fast as a beginner because if you want to be fast you may end up in making mistakes that can lead to regrets. Having a better understanding as a newbie is very important because it will make you grow for you to see yourself st the point you desire to be.  The problem of most newbie is that they try to be too fast without having understanding on how the forum works. Learning as a newbie is what will sustain one in the forum all through the time that one will exist in the forum, but it is sad that some newbies thinks using their time time to learn which will bring better understanding is a waste of time.

You would actually know when you decide to dedicate more time to be active in the forum, that’s the only way you’ll learn how this forum operates. You don’t have to post necessarily, but reading and comprehension are a must. When you have understood enough, that’s the best time you join the forum’s discussion. For now, maximize your time first learning in the forum so that you will get updates how this forum currently works.

Learning does not need to be rush in under to gain quick profits, but instead take your time exploring different boards in the forum, that way you will have an overview as to how this forum works. Certainly, patience matters a lot in learning, most especially if you want to analyze well the different topics that are being raised in the forum.

While it can be very profitable and productive for some, others have find it boring and not enjoyable. That’s because you are not devoted into your goal, and you are only here for shallow reason, to find quick profits which can’t be possible without deep learning at first.

If you are just going to use them as reference, they're fine and always include the original owner or source of where you've taken them.

But if this all about telling the same thing and idea of others from somewhere else and you're going to tell it exactly as yours, that's unethical and plagiarism.

Don't do that if you're going to rewrite the ideas of others. Just reference them out and use them for that purpose and not solely for rewriting them as if you're the original content writer.

Since you found this beginner help thread, you must have noticed above that there are some topic posts locked for newbies that would give you a lot of ideas. You are welcome to the forum. Give time to the forum, read well, and update your post quality. Then you will learn better than you will know. Thanks

People ahead of me have given you the necessary links that you will need, but I will also be adding a few things. As a newbie, make sure you are ready to read and learn, don’t be in a rush to post, if there is anything you don’t understand, make sure you make use of your search engine first. If you can’t find an answer to your question, then you can create a thread to ask, and people will respond to you. Also, when you are being corrected, don’t get angry, that’s part of learning. No matter how you are being corrected, just accept your correction and never take it personally. Make sure you don’t post with AI or other tools, anything you are posting should be written by you.

Exactly. This is what most newbies fail to understand. Some of them tend to be very quick in doing things, and they think creating threads will gain them merits easily, so instead of learning everything in detail, they tend to just copy any make sense write up they feel will catch attention to earn them merits online to the forum, not knowing that it can be tracked.

Just as Davidvictorson said, read more than creating threads, and always check well, especially the pined threads in all sections, before creating your own thread because most of these things are discussed here by several users. You can be reading through old threads to get some information you need, and you are good to go.

I'm just curious to know why you remained inactive after you joined the forum in 2022. From my own little experience, I was able to go this far because I was committed to being useful in the forum. A lot of people have given you different recommendations on how to grow in the forum and all those recommendations are good but, you can only grow here if you are committed or you will become inactive again and come back after some years to meet new people who are already ahead of you.

Welcome back to the forum mate, ensure you take every advice and recommendations given to you seriously, stay committed and be consistent. I hope to see more positive inputs from you and feel your impact in this forum.

Welcome to the forum. I can see you have gotten a lot of wonderful guidelines that will help you navigate the forum without having any problems. As a newbie, do more reading than creating threads so that it will help you understand better how the forum and bitcoin work. I will advise you to learn how to do your research so that it will help you to be informed.

Welcome newbie.
Many here already given you lots of advice so I will only give you one advice. Just follow the rules. That's all.

I mean every one of us started as a beginner, and all of us followed the rules hence we are here. Just follow the rules and learn to read more. Aside from that, watch YouTube documentaries as well in order for you to learn even more. Welcome again. :)

You are welcome, and it is nice to have you back. I don’t think I have much advice to give you because my fellow members have already provided you with a lot of advice and some have even given you links to follow. Once you follow all those pieces of advice, you will find yourself moving in a successful direction. However, one thing I would like to remind you of again is to avoid creating threads indiscriminately; only create threads when you have very important information to share. I believe there are many questions you might want to ask, but the truth is that almost all of them have been answered before.Therefore, if you can calm down and spend some time going through the existing threads and following the discussions of other members, you will really learn a lot from them. This way, you will gain more insights and contribute meaningfully to the community without redundancy.

History says otherwise.

Is it possible to farm the bounty two years ago and then claim that you are a beginner? Also, how do you know which local section you, OP, belong to? I see your posts in the Nigerian section, but I also see your efforts in the Indonesian local section, although the posts there have already been deleted. Are you sure that you speak both languages perfectly?
Did you know that using Google Translate for other local forums is against the forum rules?

This forum teaches you about understanding crypto, especially Bitcoin, that is the main purpose of this forum, as technology develops and markets develop and several other types of crypto develop so that you can learn more about crypto and so on, such as trading, mining and other information.

What is certain is that every organization/forum has certain rules if a beginner wants to join, this also applies here, maybe some people have shown some links that you can read for your future guidance, in essence: We here appreciate what you have, I mean your brilliant new ideas about development, crypto and technology, just like you outside, those who are accomplished and have broad insight, they are the ones who stand out the most.

Firstly, you shouldn't be scared or feel intimidated by the merit requirement for you to rank up and be acclaimed as knowledgeable enough to discuss with understanding, the subject of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

Secondly, while you have chose to show interest, your steady participation here with comments on subjects of discussion you understand will make you standout and be more knowledgeable as it shows in the niche you identify with, but as a newbie, it's better to know those who are more knowledgeable and stick to their post replies and comments as we remain active and follow them up on the threads and boards they are mostly active in.

On the Beginner & Help board, there is a topic that has been locked with the title Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.msg16958010#msg16958010), you need to read it because it explains forum tips. That's very useful.

To make it even easier, be active on your local board. Discuss everything you want to learn because I'm sure experienced local users will give you what you want to know in language that is easy for you to understand. The first thing may concern the rules, then it depends on what field you want to study.

You are my senior and welcome to come back again. Basically, the ability to learn is not the same for everyone, it depends on the individual. But what I understand in short time is if you stay here regularly you can gain a lot of knowledge and share your valuable opinion. Extensive experience on Bitcoin investment/deposit strategies for success can be had through this forum which is open discussion.

Just a few basic things to remember, OP.
Don't try to scam others, don't trade accounts and don't plagiarize content.


He can always claim he speaks both and there's no rule saying that he has to be perfect to be allowed to post.
I see many people whose English is far from perfect (including myself), so if we're allowed to post gibberish in English, why aren't we allowed to do the same in local languages?

Welcome to this forum.

Many people create accounts here and then don't use the forum for whatever reason but as the value of Bitcoin and trading increases, it becomes more famous. Yes, the importance of this forum is increasing. There are some rules and regulations which you must read carefully and follow. My advice is to avoid useless and long posts. Search the topic according to the question you have in your mind before creating new threads because other people have might have opened that topic here before you.

Man continues to learn throughout his life, there is neither age nor limit to learning, man learns something new at every turn of life. I hope you will learn many new things on this forum that will be useful for you. If you have any useful information related to trading, then you can share it with everyone. By posting good and informative posts and committing, you will not only help others but also get merit, which will make grow in ranks as well.

This a place you can easily learn about crypto and bitcoin, there there lists of topic on the forum about crypto realyaed stuff, the forum was created as a bitcoin community where people can ask questions and learn about bitcoin and also get latest updates about bitcoin, the forum also feature other boards that are off topic and you peopel discuss a wide range of other topics that don't git into any other board, the the is easy to learn but a little trick at first.

These days I myself don't see a newbie as a newbie, you can't tell who has been here for long and who just came as a new member, it could be that the OP is just randomly posting without knowing where and where not to post and it could also be that he's truly a newbie (which is really hard to tell) who's posting wherever he feels like posting.
But since he says he's a newbie or a beginner I think OP needs some guidance on how to go about the Forum and at the same time keep an eye on him, he should also tell us where he's from let's know if posting on the Nigeria local board and the Indonesian local board was a mistake or not.

He isn't your senior both in rank and in knowledge, since you have been active and around more than him and you also have a higher rank, just because he joined the forum earlier, it doesn't make him your senior. So you are not his senior because you have managed to gain a higher rank than him and you have more knowledge as well.

OP still has a lot to learn, he joined the forum in 2022 but he never stayed active regularly, and when you are not active, you won't be able to understand how things work around here, if he was active in the industry but just not in the forum, he might have knowledge about the industry, but if he was also away from cryptocurrencies and the market completely, he probably also doesn't have much knowledge about the industry as well.

So, you don't need to make or consider yourself junior to him.

Make sure you will not allow anything to make you not to be active in this community again, because the more you stay away from this community the more you miss so many things that would have add value to your efforts at the moment. Nice to see you again OP, I can see that you are trying to improve in the community, but make sure you read and study the rules and regulations that governed the community before posting, because that is what will make you enjoy the community without any challenges throughout your journey here. Continue reading anything that related to decentralized currency and Bitcoin, I think it will help you to achieve what you want in this community because that is what we are discussing here.

In addition to understanding what to avoid according to the forum rules, I also hope you can avoid off-topic discussions. By off-topic I mean don't get out of the active topic discussion.
Get used to reading from start to finish so that there is no repetition.
Focus on the discussion that you want to learn. If you don't know, it's better to just read and don't comment to avoid the things I mentioned above.
Because the forum also provides local boards, make good use of it.

I don’t have anything to say than to ask you if you know what you are here for, why did you join the forum? Why are you not active since 2022? Is it that you are busy or you just don’t have time to be active in the forum, with the way you sound some people might think you have been on the forum before but since you see it doesn’t work out the way you think that is why you left, don’t misunderstand me please I’m just trying to let you know what some people will think because you have been here for more than two years now according to what you said before you join the forum did you understand anything about this forum or did the person who introduced you to the forum did not tell you anything about it.

The first thing I will tell you is that you should not rush with your learning process, just learn gradually and you will get to know it much better, you can check on a thread here that says to read before posting and you will get more information about how you as a beginner will do to avoid mistakes in the forum or when you are posting in any board in the forum, with your patience I’m very confident that you will learn more and achieve what you want to achieve.

Well, knowing the rules should always be the first priority. You can’t be a good and reliable member in the forum if you happen to break rules, so know the rules first prior to learning acquisition.

However, as for my personal advice, don’t be too serious while engaging in the forum, but make your stay here fun and enjoyable. I assure you, you will have higher chances to last longer in the forum, than to be too serious and focus on your goal, as you might get easily tired reading and comprehending with different threads in the forum.

Welcome to thus wonderful forum Mate:

One thing is is ensure you will never regret join this forum, if you endure and excises patience, because everything about this forum is for to have enough patience and really focus on what brought here. The first thing for you to struggle for is to know the rules and regulations given by The moderator of this forum and not to know the rules only is to fellow the rules do not break the it, because there so many newbies that came here and their no more exist in this forum again the reason is that they refuse to fellow the rules and regulations.

But since I can see that many of high members have recommended you with some links the best to do is to take your time out of your busy and go through them to it will make your journey very easier faster.

I will say that newbies should be able to be reading through than creating threads in their earliest days of being active in the forum, reason being that most of their intended curiosity, quest has already been done by other newbies of which they can as well learn from theirs, the rate at which every newbies are creating threads of this kind are becoming too alarming. However, I made the same mistakes when I newly joined and things changed when I realized myself the reason why am sharing this post. It is all good that we are here and I believe that all the various users advice is good too, you can take note of then all as you are navigating the forum.

Listen more to the folks without signature campaigns(they have to post lots to get paid, so most of what they post is rubbish), follow the rules. The search bar is your friend but if you cant find the answer to your question find a thread talking about the topic vs creating a new topic, and ask it.

We are still newbies,and there is need for us to motivate ourselves and keep working because if we don't,there is no way we are going to grow,we only have to keep on moving,working, posting, contributing to ideas in the forum, opinion,and state our clear understanding about a particular topic.If we can do this consistently,I'm sure that level that other people have reached,we can still reach it and do more.As it is now,it all good to set a goal for yourself,try to meet your target everyday by making regular posts and remain consistent while posting,that's the only way you can grow fast.

I can see you joined the forum since 2022 and due to your inactiveness you've not been able to explore the forum,so my first advice to you is;
1.Your activeness is pretty needed as a newbie so you can learn and carry out your own research.
2.Take to correction when you are corrected by experienced bitcoiners on the forum.
3.You need to adapt a tough skin on the forum.
4.Creating quality posts from the knowledge you've acquired on the forum and from your personal research and don't always fail to submit a reference link from sites where you got some informations.
In addition,there are also important informations you ought to read on pinned threads in Beginners and help board.
